WHP - We Hate Phantoms
WHP, We Hate Phantoms, is a Minecraft Java datapack designed for calmer nights on a Minecraft server. It prevents phantom spawning caused by insomnia, removing their repeated aerial attacks without changing the rest of the survival experience. The datapack uses the doInsomnia gamerule, making it a lightweight and server friendly quality of life solution. Phantom membrane remains available through a new recipe using six feathers and three rotten flesh, while bats can drop zero to one membrane, with Looting support. This keeps elytra repairs and slow falling potions accessible. At BoxToPlay, we recommend WHP for players who want peaceful nighttime gameplay without losing useful progression.
Frankenfish
Frankenfish is a Minecraft Java datapack that gives lightning a surprising aquatic purpose. Drop a cod, salmon, tropical fish, or another supported fish item on the ground, then expose it to a lightning strike to transform it into a living fish mob. This playful mechanic turns ordinary fishing loot into aquarium companions and adds a memorable experiment to survival gameplay without changing the wider game loop. The pack supports Minecraft 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with compatibility for fish from several mods, including Aquaculture 2 and Alex’s Mobs. On a Minecraft server, BoxToPlay makes this quirky feature easy to enjoy with friends.
SecretCrafting
SecretCrafting is a Minecraft datapack for Java Edition 1.20.1 that expands the vanilla crafting system by adding recipes for items that cannot normally be made at a crafting table. It introduces hidden and unusual recipes, giving survival players new ways to obtain valuable resources and useful equipment without changing Minecraft into a fully modded experience. Designed for flexible gameplay, the pack adds variety to exploration, building, and progression while preserving the familiar crafting interface. It is a practical choice for a cooperative Minecraft server, and our BoxToPlay experience makes adding this kind of gameplay enhancement straightforward.

New Custom Paintings
New Custom Paintings is a Java Edition datapack that expands Minecraft’s decorative options with additional painting variants. Used together with its companion resource pack, it adds artwork without replacing the game’s existing paintings, making it suitable for personal builds, themed interiors, adventure maps, and a creative Minecraft server. Built around the painting variant system introduced in Minecraft 1.21, the pack stays close to vanilla gameplay while giving builders more ways to personalize walls and rooms. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for communities seeking a simple visual upgrade that works naturally alongside standard blocks, items, and world design.
But you Can't Mine or Craft
This Minecraft datapack turns survival into a clever adventure challenge by completely disabling mining and crafting. Every useful item must instead come from exploration, loot, trading, combat, or naturally generated structures. Players can still place blocks, preserving basic building and navigation while removing the usual progression route. The challenge remains fully beatable. Everything needed to reach the End and defeat the Ender Dragon is available, with cleric villagers offering two Eyes of Ender in exchange for two Ender Pearls and one Blaze Rod. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for a demanding Minecraft server experience focused on resourcefulness and careful planning.
Display Containers
Display Containers is a Minecraft Java Edition data pack that lets you place almost any block inside barrels, cauldrons, composters, and hoppers. It uses vanilla mechanics and does not require a resource pack, making it a lightweight choice for a creative build or a Minecraft server. To create a display, stand on top of the chosen container, crouch, jump, and place the block. The result adds depth and personality to storage rooms, workshops, farms, and themed interiors without changing the container’s normal purpose. At BoxToPlay, we see it as a simple way to give practical areas a more polished visual identity.
