Show Your Arms

Armor stands continue to behave normally, so they remain useful for displaying armor, weapons, tools, and decorative poses without changing the core gameplay.It is a simple cosmetic and building utility for players who want more expressive statues, shopkeepers, guards, mannequins, or adventure map scenery. On a Minecraft server, the datapack adds extra personality to hubs and builds with minimal impact. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for creative projects that need better looking displays without a full mod.

Anti Trader Despawn

When a trader receives a nametag, the datapack prevents it from despawning, allowing players to keep valuable or unusual merchants in a protected trading area for as long as needed.

Your buildings, terrain, and carefully designed bases remain intact, while Creepers still create an exciting threat during survival gameplay.Firework explosions can still hurt nearby players and mobs, so encounters remain dangerous rather than becoming harmless. The datapack also provides an instant health effect to help recover from residual damage, and it affects Creeper explosions only, leaving TNT and other explosive sources unchanged. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for any Minecraft server seeking protection without removing Creeper tension.
TFC tool bindings
TFC Tool Bindings is a Java Edition Minecraft datapack for TerraFirmaCraft on Minecraft 1.20.1.

Tools without a binding suffer reduced durability, while straw, glue, jute, vines, string, and wool yarn provide increasingly stronger results.Better bindings can grant full durability, the Well Forged trait, or the Perfectly Forged trait, improving the usefulness of early equipment. The project is now obsolete because its features were incorporated into TFC Better Stone Age, but it remains relevant for compatible modpacks and server Minecraft experiences. At BoxToPlay, we value datapacks that make progression more immersive.
