Convert Datapack to Mods

Datapack to Mod Converter

Introduction

Our versatile conversion tool allows you to effortlessly transform almost any Minecraft datapack into a functional Fabric/Forge/Quilt/Neo Forge mod.

The process is designed to be simple, typically requiring just a few clicks via its user interface.

How It Works

Fundamentally, many Minecraft Fabric/Forge... mods consist of up to three main components:

  • A datapack,

  • A resource pack

  • And Java code files. However, the Java code is optional; a mod can function perfectly well containing only the datapack and/or resource pack elements.

Our converter takes your existing datapack (.zip) and repackages it into the .jar format expected by Fabric/Forge. It automatically adds the necessary metadata files required by the mod loader (such as fabric.mod.json).

Essentially, the core content remains your original datapack, just wrapped within a mod file structure.

Are Performance Characteristics Different?

No. Since the converter primarily repackages your existing datapack files, the performance characteristics remain identical.

Whether you load your content as a standalone datapack or as the converted mod, Minecraft handles the underlying data (recipes, functions, structures, etc.) in exactly the same way.
