Random Fishing Crates
Random Fishing Crates is a Minecraft datapack that gives fishing a rewarding twist. While casting your line, you have a chance to reel in a special crate instead of receiving only ordinary fishing loot. Each crate belongs to a rarity tier, ranging from Common to Mythic, creating exciting surprises during regular gameplay.Higher rarity crates contain more valuable and unusual rewards, encouraging players to keep fishing and explore improved progression opportunities. Designed for Minecraft Java Edition, the datapack supports server side play and works across several versions, making it a practical addition to a multiplayer Minecraft server. At BoxToPlay, we see it as an easy way to make fishing more engaging without changing the core survival experience.
Librarian's Balance
Librarian’s Balance is a Minecraft datapack that reshapes villager trading to make enchanted books feel earned rather than instantly available. Place an enchanted book on a librarian’s lectern to create a custom trade, with an emerald cost based on the book’s enchantments and levels. This gives collected books a practical purpose and makes librarians more flexible.By default, random librarian trades only reach level three, so stronger enchantments require combining books with an anvil. Mending becomes a rare discovery found through exploration, while special treasure enchantments can produce sealed copies. Our BoxToPlay Minecraft server experience benefits from a more meaningful economy, exploration, and progression.
Higher Heights
Higher Heights is a Minecraft Java datapack and mod that expands the vertical building space for ambitious projects. Its largest configuration raises the height to 4064 blocks in the Overworld and The End, from Y minus 2032 to Y 2032, while The Nether reaches 2032 blocks from Y 0 to Y 2032. Other configurations offer 512, 1024, or 2032 blocks.Designed to remain accessible to vanilla players on the matching version, it suits skyscrapers, giant bases, technical builds, and creative experiments on a Minecraft server. Expect heavier performance demands, possible mob spawning changes, and a need for backups. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for players who want truly vertical gameplay.
No Creeper Grief
No Creeper Grief is a Minecraft Java Edition datapack that prevents creeper explosions from destroying blocks. Creepers still detonate normally, hurt players and mobs, and remain a genuine survival threat, but your houses, farms, paths, and decorative builds are protected from unwanted craters.Designed for a Minecraft server or single player world, the pack temporarily manages the mobGriefing rule only when a creeper is about to explode. Other mob related mechanics can therefore continue working as expected. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for survival communities that want tense encounters without constant repair work.
Unethical Resources (Cobblemon Shearems Addon)
Unethical Resources is a Minecraft Java datapack addon for Cobblemon Shearems, designed to turn Pokémon into unusual sources of useful materials.

It can make a Minecraft server feel more dynamic by creating fresh farming goals and clever ways to supply a team or base. BoxToPlay helps you enjoy this content in a streamlined server experience.
Cobblemon Trainer Doubles

Designed for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1, it works alongside Cobblemon, Radical Cobblemon Trainers, and its API. For our BoxToPlay community, it is a practical way to make a Cobblemon server’s battles more dynamic without manually editing every trainer.

A configuration function and tags let administrators adjust natural conversion and target bypass rules, while summon functions provide direct control. Because some villagers may convert randomly, existing trades can be lost. With BoxToPlay, this village defense feature fits naturally into multiplayer survival.
