Minecraft Datapack Skill

Inspect pack.mcmeta and the target Minecraft version before editing. Preserve an existing target unless migration is requested; metadata numbers alone do not make older command or registry schemas compatible. Check the edited files with the bundled validator and test in-game when available.

Skill Scope

Routing Boundaries

• Use when: the deliverable is datapack files (pack.mcmeta, data/...) and .mcfunction/JSON content.
• Do not use when: the request is command-only snippets not tied to a datapack file tree (minecraft-commands-scripting).
• Do not use when: the request requires loader APIs, Java code, or runtime mod behavior (minecraft-modding).
