I don't really think another category would do in this case.

Categories are often used to split up the different branches of the same big tree.
But modded datapacks and vanilla datapacks are their own separate trees altogether - even though they are both trees (tree in this case being a datapack), they work on different environments which most of the time isn't compatible with eachother (a modded datapack might modify something vanilla itself doesn't have, for example), and hence can't be considered branches of the same tree.

From an user experience point of view: If you're someone who has no idea about the technical things that can be done by vanilla datapacks, you'd assume modded datapacks and vanilla datapacks as one and the same (since they're both categorized as "datapacks" at first based on the site's current design), only to then install a modded datapack in vanilla and be confused about why it doesn't work, or vice versa.

Splitting it into two categories would be a bit much, instead we could theoretically add a checkbox for something like “Requires a mod” and they could filter out those that do.

I'm none too clear on the lines between texture packs / data packs / resource packs / mods so some clarification wight be a good place to start…

Assuming I correctly understand what you mean, having at least a filter setting for those that require additional software (Optifine seems to be a commonly sited example) would make sense.
Whether an entirely seperate subfora is needed is more debatable as there may be those who prefer having only one place through which to search.
[​Which again brings up the issue of overlap between various sorts of game modifying 'things'.]


Bye the bye, this probably shoud be filled as a suggestion ticket if you find any reasonable level of support…

I 100% agree

Gosh, I think your right!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

On April fools mod names where blue and normal peoples names were yellow, according to SpellmakerTheHybrid

Are you okay? Have you been drinking enough water? Guys I think he may have been hallucinating.

photoshop!

Why? Because it's legal, unfortunately. Anyone who uses obsolescence to constantly wring money out of someone is a selfish crook at heart.

yeah

well datapacks can be fun and meaningful fo sure
and even games


but I get it
a more standalone creation
I recommend checking out pico 8, you can make really cool projects while keeping them small
start small you know

I’ve already essentially mastered datapacks. I can either continue to get better at making datapacks or move onto other stuff like game dev. I’m currently working on other projects like teaching others how to make datapacks (Datapack Hub) which involves a lot of web development and admin, but I really wanna use my coding skills to make something fun and meaningful.


It also doesn’t help that I start another side project every other week lol

ey bro I saw on of your projects high up on a modrinth search result tab
your creative ventures are not wasted

this helped

You will be sent to gulag

Did da wat crimees hapeen

Nah its fine :P Was just looking for something to counter one of the above points XD

not really cuz they're just as close to being magic as all other forces like gravity in fact if you think about it gravity is much stranger since its the density of an object pulling in other objects its kinda crazy to think about if you really do

what about sharks being able to sense electric wave stuff

oops got your nickel . don’t mind it flying towards me at high speeds, totally ordinary, no witchcraft involved.
