Paxi adds the <b><em>paxi</em></b> folder in your Minecraft config folder, where you can place data and resource packs that will automatically be loaded for every world. The first time you run Paxi, the <b><em>paxi&nbsp;</em></b>folder will be created for you in your Minecraft config directory.</p> <p>Paxi is as simple as it gets when it comes to global data and resource packs, making it a great utility for modpack creators!</p> <p> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/9VzCAAC.png" alt="Data packs" width="1125" height="59" /><br /> Within the <em>paxi</em> folder is a <b><em>datapacks</em></b> folder for data packs. This folder will be created for you the first time you create or load a world with Paxi installed. Any data packs placed in this folder will be automatically loaded into any world you play - in other words, globally loaded data packs! When in game, use the command <code>/datapack list</code> to see all loaded data packs; packs loaded by Paxi are printed in pink text. Both zip files and regular folders (containing a pack.mcmeta file) are supported.</p> <p> Data packs can also be loaded in a specific order! The first time you create or load a world with Paxi installed, the <em><b>datapack_load_order.json</b></em> file will be created for you in the <em>paxi</em> directory. You can fill this JSON file with a list of data pack folder names (including the .zip for zip files) in the order you want your data packs loaded in. Using this JSON file is entirely optional - any data packs not listed in the file will be loaded normally (alphabetically by folder/zip file name, same as normal data packs). So if you only have a few data packs that require loading in a specific order, you only need to list them in the JSON!</p> <p> Starting with v5.1.3, the <em>datapack_load_order.json</em> file also supports pack entries with relative pathnames, meaning you can load data packs from any other folder as well. These relative pathnames are relative to the base <em>.minecraft</em> directory of your Minecraft instance folder. For example, if you wanted to load the pack <em>MyDataPack</em> located in .minecraft/datapacks, you can simply add the entry <em>"datapacks/MyDataPack"</em> to your datapack_load_order.json.</p> <p> Additionally starting with v5.1.3, there is a config option <code>Load from base 'datapacks' directory</code> in the mod's config (enabled by default). When enabled, all packs in the <em>.minecraft/datapacks</em> folder will be automatically loaded as well. This behavior is identical to placing data packs in the normal Paxi folder (<em>.minecraft/config/paxi/datapacks</em>). This has been added to support CurseForge's upcoming data pack integration with Paxi, in which data packs will be automatically downloaded to the <em>.minecraft/datapacks</em> folder. </p> <p> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/cSWd9iG.png" alt="Resource Packs" width="1125" height="59" /><br /> Also within the <em>paxi</em> folder is a <em><b>resourcepacks</b></em> folder for resource packs. This folder will be created for you the first time you run the game with Paxi installed. Any resource packs placed in this folder will be automatically loaded when you start the game. Both zip files and regular folders (containing a pack.mcmeta file) are supported. Resource packs are not supported on dedicated servers, since they only affect the game on the client-side (textures, sounds, and other assets).</p> <p> Resource packs can also be loaded in a specific order! The first time you create or load a world with Paxi installed, the <em><b>resourcepack_load_order.json</b></em> file will be created for you in the <em>paxi</em> directory. You can fill this JSON file with a list of resource pack folder names (including the .zip for zip files) in the order you want your resource packs loaded in. Using this JSON file is entirely optional - any resource packs not listed in the file will be loaded normally (alphabetically by folder/zip file name, same as normal resource packs).

These relative pathnames are relative to the base <em>.minecraft</em> directory of your Minecraft instance folder. For example, if you wanted to load the pack <em>MyResourcePack.zip</em> located in the vanilla <em>resourcepacks</em> folder, you can simply add the entry <em>"resourcepacks/MyResourcePack.zip"</em> to your resourcepack_load_order.json.</p> <p><a title="Play with friends with the Essential mod!" href="https://essential.gg/x/yung" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/2mVOWMC.jpeg" alt="Play with friends with the Essential mod!" /></a></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/a49IMQJ.png" /><br /> <a title="Get 25% off your server with code YUNGNICKYOUNG at Bisect Hosting!" href="https://bisecthosting.com/yung" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/nQRs7ZP.png" alt="Use code YUNGNICKYOUNG with Bisect Hosting for 25% off!" width="1344" height="400" /></a></p>

- **Relative filepaths can now be specified in the resourcepack_load_order.json and datapack_load_order.json files!** These filepaths are all relative to your base .minecraft directory. For example, if you wanted to automatically load 'MyPack.zip' from your vanilla 'resourcepacks' folder, you could add the entry "resourcepacks/MyPack.zip" to your resourcepack_load_order.json file. If an entry in either load order json does not have a relative filepath (i.e. it's just the pack's file name), it will only check the Paxi pack folder, same as before (e.g .minecraft/config/paxi/resourcepacks). This is to preserve backwards compatibility. - **Added a new config option to allow auto-loading data packs from the .minecraft/datapacks directory (enabled by default).** This is to support CurseForge's upcoming data pack system changes, wherein they will add built-in integration for loading data packs automatically with Paxi.
