Resource Pack version declaration update.

Since you're updating stuff (datapacks etc)...

Consider updating/fixing this:

Currently you have resource packs declaring a Minecraft game version for compatibility (1.13, 1.14, etc)... which KIND OF works, but it's not the most technically accurate way to declare resource pack version.

Resource pack version works like this:

version 1 for Minecraft 1.6.1-1.8.9
version 2 for Minecraft 1.9-1.10.2
version 3 for Minecraft 1.11-1.12.2
version 4 for Minecraft 1.13-1.14 (and likely 1.15)

So current resource packs are version 4, and thus cross-compatible with Minecraft 1.13, 1.14, and 1.15.

The current system is somewhat misleading since a resource pack made for 1.13 will work just fine for 1.15, and vice-versa. Granted 1.15 items that didn't exist in 1.13 simply won't show up in a 1.13 world... and a 1.13 resource pack may be missing the new/renamed items in 1.15... but they are STILL compatible.

The reason why this is important is players may be avoiding the use of "1.13" resource packs on a 1.14 world because they believe them to be incompatible.

Anyway, before I risk rambling any longer, consider changing/adding resource pack version declaration to version 1/2/3/4... and then in the pack's description (or a subordinate drop-down) the creator can specify if the resource pack is optimized for any particular game version content or not.


Just food for thought--including the yummy delicious honey from the new bees.
