When i tried adding a Datapack to my 1.16.5 Minecraft, it did not show up in Minecraft, and it did not work either. it would add new mobs + biomes ETC, and I would make one for 1.17 + 1.18 too. can someone explain why it happened and how to fix this issue?

can you explain where the datapack is located in your minecraft folders?
it should be like this:
.minecraft > saves > your world folder > datapacks > your datapack folder with the pack.mcmeta as well as all the other files directly inside

check if you have the pack.mcmeta in root directory,and the correct file structure^^

it did not help, but maybe something else?
in your minecraft log, search for any red text, it mean that something is wrong in your syntax, if their is none, your datapack isn't seen as one. Can you join said red log? (also are your datapack in your world save, inside "datapacks" folder?) -> make sure datapacks is written correctly
how do i look at my logs?
There's an easier way to look at your logs: follow the instructions in this image:
Then when you start Minecraft, your logs should appear in a new window. When you load the world, any data pack errors will appear in red text.
Then when you start Minecraft, your logs should appear in a new window. When you load the world, any data pack errors will appear in red text.i saw my logs folder but i just saw like 9 trillion zip files in there. also, my Datapack was in my Datapack folder with my data.
Just try to open your world with the datapack with your output log instead. It will provide you with real time errors if one comes up
you have a pack.mcmeta containing this?
{
"pack": {
"pack_format": 7,
"description": "The default data for Minecraft"
}
}
located here:
./datapacks/"your datapack's name"/pack.mcmeta
