Exactly what it does. Updates your data packs to be 1.20.2+ compatible. If you have a large datapack with a ton of files, it would take forever to update every change like this. I just made a "find and replace" script so that you can just run it and it will do all the changes for you over your entire datapack. Then you don't have to do that huge task manually.





A few of the changes in 1.20.2 Change Log





A few of the technical changes (Dropdown list of examples, click here)
• Id -> id, also changed from number to string id
• Ambient -> ambient
• Amplifier -> amplifier
• Duration -> duration
• ShowParticles -> show_particles
• ShowIcon -> show_icon
• HiddenEffect -> hidden_effect, also since it's mob effect instance, changes apply recursively
• FactorCalculationData -> factor_calculation_data

A few not mentioned that got changed too:


'Id:3b' -> 'id:"minecraft:haste"'

'id:3b' -> 'id:"minecraft:haste"'

Mac Copy Path Instructions:
Open Finder and and navigate to the directory with the folder with your datapack folder in it
Right click on the datapack folder
Hold the option/alt key (It's the same key, two names) so that "Copy" shows as "Copy as Pathname"
Then click "Copy as Pathname", paste that below for the directory varaiable.




Windows Copy Path Instructions:
Open File Explorer and navigate to the directory with the folder with your datapack folder in it

Click once on the address bar at the top of the File Explorer window. This will highlight the entire path.

Right-click on the highlighted path, and a context menu will appear.

Select "Copy" from the context menu. This will copy the full path to your clipboard.

Help/Site Is it possible to post a python script here? I made a python script that helps coders update their datapacks from pre-1.20.2 syntax to the new syntax.
