VanillaDatapackFramework [VDF]

VanillaDatapackFramework, or VDF, is a clean, ready to use template for building modern Minecraft datapacks in Minecraft 1.21 and newer. Designed as a practical starting point, it includes organized folders, function files, load and tick hooks, predicates, advancement triggers, metadata, an icon, and documentation with examples and development tips.

VDF encourages efficient server logic by favoring Data Components, storage, and event based triggers over outdated NBT workflows or constant checks. It is especially useful for creators who want a structured foundation for custom mechanics, items, and resource pack integration on a Minecraft server. At BoxToPlay, we value tools that make datapack development clearer and more manageable.
