Datapack Installer

A Minecraft (Fabric) mod. When installed on the client, data packs put into the data pack folder will be available for selection during world creation as well as while paused in Singleplayer. When installed on the server, data packs put into the data pack folder will be copied to the active world when the server starts.

Advantages

On the client, this mod works with the ingame resource and data pack selector. While creating a world, or while paused in Singleplayer, you can choose which data packs to enable or disable with an interactive screen.

On the server, all that happens is that the data packs are copied from the mod's data pack folder to the world data pack folder whenever the server starts. If you are switching worlds or deleting them to regenerate often, all you will need to do is switch or delete the world, and the data packs will carry on if you leave the mod's folder intact.

Disadvantages

This mod cannot keep data packs that require feature flags enabled or disabled. For example, if you did not create a world with the built-in bundle data pack enabled, and you enable the data pack with the mod, the data pack will only be temporarily enabled until you quit the world.
