Have you ever wanted to teleport in survival Minecraft? Have a pet? Build a flying machine?

This datapack is designed to let you do that! By adding certain creative blocks (all command blocks, including the command block minecart, structure blocks and structure voids, as well as barrier blocks) into survival Minecraft this datapack allows you to build and create in new ways to enhance your survival experience. Personally I recommend using this pack to make the game more fun and interesting instead of just giving yourself diamonds, but ultimately it's your world so how you use these blocks is up to you.

Crafting recipes are included for all blocks mentioned above (check the image list) and each block can be placed or broken. Hold shift while looking at the block you want to break (make sure it's about a block and a half away) and it will drop its item. Commands blocks can be interacted with by holding any command block in the players hand.

Installation
You will need a world with cheats enabled to use this datapack. You can create one or using an already existing world (in 1.13+).

1. Download the Minecraft map (it doesn't contain a world, only the datapack) and extract the folder (the extracted folder should contain the pack.mcmeta file).
2. Copy the folder that contains the pack.mcmeta file. It should be named something like "CB Survival 1.13 Singleplayer Datapack."
3. Open Minecraft and select the world you want to add the datapack to (don't open it!).
4. Click "Edit" and then "Open World Folder". You should see a folder named "datapacks".
5. Open the datapacks folder and paste the folder you copied into here. The folder order should look something like this "NewWorld3/datapacks/CB Survival 1.13 Singleplayer Datapack/pack.mcmeta"
6. If it does open your world and run the command "/reload" in the chat bar. You should see a loading message from the pack.
7. Now you're good to go! If you ever want to turn the datapack features off, use the command "/function cb_survival:config" and click the appropriate buttons.


Heads-Up Warnings:

1. When in creative mode, DO NOT REARRANGE YOUR HOTBAR ITEMS. It can cause items to permanently disappear. Usually it will be the creative items that disappear not the vanilla survival one, but you can lose an entire stack of command blocks this way if you have it selected in your hotbar and then you move that item when in your inventory.
2. When holding any command block or a structure block the datapack puts you into creative mode. In this mode you can always pick up items EVEN IF YOUR INVENTORY IS FULL, causing you to lose the newly "picked up" items permanently. So always keep space in your inventory or don't leave items that you care about lying around when using command blocks.
3. When holding shift to break blocks, make sure you are about a BLOCK AND A HALF from the one you wish to break. If you are too close, and looking at the block diagonally you can sometimes break the one behind it. If this is confusing, run the command from installation step 7 and turn on the cursor mode. It will help you visualize this distance.

Recipes
In case the images aren't clear enough:

Command Block (Orange): Upside down "U" of regular terracotta in a crafting table, redstone block in middle, iron door at the bottom.
Command Block (Purple): Same as above, but with blue terracotta (looks purple).
Command Block (Blue-Green): Same as above but with alternating blue and lime terracotta. Works both ways.
Command Block Minecart: Command block on top of minecart.
Structure Block: Obsidian in four corners, command block in the center and purpur blocks in the other four slots.
Barrier Block: Cook obsidian in furnace
Structure Void (kinda like tiny barrier block that can be used with structure blocks): Cook a barrier block in a furnace.

Commands
To make teleporters:
  1. Make an orange command block and place it.
  2. Edit the command block by holding any type of command block in your hand and right clicking the block you placed.
  3. Enter "tp @p x y z" replacing x, y, and z with the coords of where you want to go.
  4. Place a pressure plate or button near the command block so you can activate it.
  5. Don't forget to make one that teleports you back. :)

To have a pet:
  1. Name any mob (if it is a hostile mob do steps 1a through-)
    1a. Copy the commands inside the quotes: "/team add friend"
    1b. "/team join friend @p"
    1c. Replace the $ with the name of your mob: "/team join friend @e[​name=$]"
  2. Make a purple (repeating) command block and place it somewhere near spawn.
  3. Set it to the setting, "Needs Redstone" and put a lever next to it.
  4. Enter the command, "execute as @p at @s run tp @e[​name=$,distance=16..] @p" replacing $ with the name of your mob again.
  5. Turn the lever on and the mob should teleport to you when it gets too far away, like a cat or a dog. Enjoy! :)

To make a command block flying machine:
  This one is more complicated. But if you're willing to learn there are tutorials for this and more command block creations on youtube from a variety of creators. The possibilities are massive! :)
  P.S. If you want a hint you'll need the clone command and the tp command or structure blocks if you're fancy. :)

So that's my pack. Hope you enjoy and build cool things with it. :)

Great functional datapack!

The amount of times you had to elaborate on the creative setting is comical. Try the pack, people!

When you hover over a creative mode block (which can be crafted in survival) the datapack sets you in creative mode, allowing you to edit and place. If you shift while in survival mode you can also break the command block.

Command blocks can't be placed in survival, nor interacted with. Therefore this datapack is useless.

Also, this pack is mis-categorized as extensive.

This is very useless for me because you can't open Command Blocks in survival. Only in creative you can edit them.
Edit: Do this able to make command blocks be able to be interact by players on survival?

That's a very interesting idea ! It reminds me of the "toy box" series by simplysarc
