Installation

1. Download the latest datapack file mob-hunting-rewards.zip from the releases.
2. Find the datapack folder of a world save.
3. Copy the zip file into the datapack folder.
4. run /reload

Uninstall

1. run /function mhr:_remove while the datapack is still loaded (this will remove all modification to the world save)
2. disable datapack or delete from datapack folder

Configuration

The datapack can be used as is or reconfigured via the python script and the config file. Following configurations can be made:

• mobs that belong to the same tier
• rewards per tier, that are granted on each first kill of a mob of that tier
• tier icon, title and description, as well as the score points awarded
• title and description patterns of advancements

Generate files

It is not necessary to generate any files. The .zip files under releases already come with the default configuration and all files already generated. If you want to run a custom configuration, you can

1. navigate to the root directory of the repository
2. run the python script with python generate_files.py
3. create the zipped datapack with zip mob-hunting-rewards.zip -r data/ pack.mcmeta (or equivalent tools or commands based on your OS)
4. possibly copy the created .zip file to another location as there are known issues when importing the datapack directly from the git repository

Known issues

Generating and importing (drag & drop) from the git repository folder directly into Minecraft sometimes fails with "Non-pack entries: The following entries were not valid packs and were not copied: mob-hunting-rewards.zip". This can be worked around by copying the zip-file to another location outside the git repository and loading it from there instead.
