The Minecraft community is a warzone, and you never even saw the battle lines being drawn! A firestorm is erupting across Avonetics, exposing a brutal rivalry that’s been festering in the shadows: Mod Developers vs. Datapack Developers. For years, modders have been praised as the ultimate creators, but a growing legion of datapack wizards are fighting back, claiming they're the unsung heroes of innovation. The debate is VICIOUS. Is writing complex Java for mods that break with every update TRULY harder than mastering the labyrinth of pure JSON and command blocks to create game-changing experiences from scratch? Some say datapacks are just for small tweaks, while others reveal jaw-droppingly intricate creations that rival the biggest mods. We dive deep into the Avonetics thread that blew the lid off this secret war, exploring the technical nightmares, the stolen glory, and the shocking truth about who REALLY pushes Minecraft to its limits.
