Setting up PokePatcher

On startup PokePatcher will create a pokepatcher folder inside your installation's config/ folder. Inside will be two folders:

  • temp - Ignore this.
  • datapacks - Place any Datapacks you wish to convert in this folder. They may be either .zip files or folders (make sure that they are not nested within another folder. If you open the folder, you should see a data/ and/or a resources/ folder, as well as a pack.mcmeta file.) The datapack will not be processed if it is missing a pack.mcmeta file.

After starting Minecraft, any Datapacks in the datapacks/ folder will be converted into fabric mods and placed in the mods/ folder in your installation.
PLEASE NOTE: After converting any Datapacks, Minecraft must be restarted for the new mods to be detected and loaded.

Updating/Removing Datapacks and Mods

PokePatcher keeps track of all the converted Datapacks in the config/pokepatcher/patches.json file. PokePatcher does not have the ability to delete any mods for safety reasons. If you would like to remove or update a mod, please delete the mod file from the mods/ folder, then open the patches.json file and delete the entry for the datapack/mod you are removing. Then in the datapacks/ folder you may update or remove the Datapack as you wish.
