About this project

What does The Loader add?

The Loader is a full global resource and data pack loader. It creates a folder "the_loader" in your minecraft folder which has two subfolders under it. datapacks and resourcepacks. These are loaded exactly the same as from the folders in MC, just these ones do not need to be selected, nor do they need to be world specific. I built this specifically to help with testing things for Resources, but found that it worked well and would be useful to others in the Community for their modpack testing and modpack creation.
