The data pack also functions as the resource pack for the needed textures and other assets. (Mod users automatically have the resources enabled)
If you are playing on a PaperMC Server (or a PaperMC Fork like Purpur) make sure to set allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your paper config files to true in order for everything to work properly.
