🛠️ How to, Instructions & Commands

The datapack usually just needs to be installed. There is nothing else you have to do. It just works out of the box.

But 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.

The data pack version also double functions as a resource pack. So in order to be able to see them, just place the data pack .zip also in your resource folder and activate it like any other resource pack.
