Paxi Mod: Automatic Loading of Data Packs in Minecraft

The Paxi modification implements a system for automatically loading data packs and resource packs globally into every world created in Minecraft. Instead of manually copying files into each new world save folder, the mod creates a centralized paxi directory in the game's config folder. Any resources added there are automatically applied to every world and when the client launches, which simplifies building and distributing modpacks.

Folder Structure and Automatic Loading

After the first launch of the game with the mod, the corresponding subdirectories for resource files are created in the config folder .minecraft/config/paxi/.

The main folders and their functionality:

You can check all data packs connected through Paxi directly in the world using the standard /datapack list command. In the chat, the names of globally loaded packs are highlighted in pink, which makes it easier to diagnose the build.

Configuring the Load Order via JSON

When a world is first created, the modification generates special configuration files in JSON format in the paxi folder, which let you set the loading priority of packs.

You can use both simple file names from the paxi folder and relative paths to any other folders in the game (for example, "datapacks/MyDataPack" or "resourcepacks/CustomTextures.zip"). These relative paths are counted from the root folder of the game instance .minecraft/.

Additional Configuration Options

In the mod's configuration file paxi.toml (or through the in-game settings menu) you can control additional integration options.

The main settings:

• Loading from the base data packs folder. The Load from base 'datapacks' directory option (enabled by default) automatically reads all data packs from the .minecraft/datapacks folder. This is designed for integration with platforms like CurseForge, which automatically download data packs added to a build into this directory.

• Nested folder support. The mod correctly recognizes nested folders inside the loading directories, which lets you keep a large number of modifications neatly organized.

Compatibility and Requirements

Since data packs affect world logic (recipes, tags, structures), while resource packs affect the visual display, the mod has different requirements for the client and the server.

Conclusion

The Paxi modification is a convenient tool for build developers, as it solves the problem of automatically connecting data packs and resource packs for every new world. It lets you distribute customized recipes, loot tables, and textures without having to explain the installation rules to players.

Compared to manually transferring files into every save, Paxi saves time thanks to automatic global synchronization. The main limitation is the need to correctly specify relative paths in the JSON files when configuring a complex load order. The mod will suit you if you are creating a build of adventure maps or a large-scale modpack with your own modified recipes and graphic design.
