Top 20 Best Minecraft Data Packs of the Month | 1.18.1

Hey guys, I wanted to cover another Datapack  video, as I know quite a few of you use them.   I’ll mostly be looking at data packs which  were released over the past month or so,   and are functional on Minecraft 1.18. And you can  download any of these from the description below.

Amplified Nether uses some features introduced  with Minecraft 1.18 to improve on the Nether.   You’ll notice that it’s been given a new world  height of 256 blocks, which allows for more   dramatic terrain. You can also expect to find  Nether Mountains from the original trailer,  

As well as more biome variation. I love how  the Nether looks with this pack installed,   and hopefully something like  this is integrated in the future.   Flying around with an Elytra  is also going to be really fun. Day Counter Title Message is a simple mod  which displays the current day on the screen,  

Either when you join the world, after you  sleep or when the next day arrives passively.   There’s many places this could be useful, such as  if you’re doing a one hundred days playthrough. Reinforced Creatures adds some new variants to  already existing mobs. Some examples are the  

Superior Stray, which is stronger and can shoot  Ice Blocks at the player. The Confetti Creeper   can die with a single punch, but will blow up  in a ball of Fireworks. The Superior Drowned   holds a Trident that’s usable in water, and will  shoot beams of light. The Piglin Mage has twice  

The amount of health, and can cast some different  spells. Some others are the Superior Husk, Wither   Skeleton Knight and Phantom Jockey, and they  all have different percent chances of spawning. Working Sailboat introduces a new type of Boat,  which can be created by dropping a Spruce Boat,  

A Spruce Plank and a Spruce Log on top of  eachother. You’ll be given a Ships Box Spawn Egg,   which you should use when you’re in the water to  summon the Sailboat. To control it, sit in the   Spruce Boat at the back. It’s not the smoothest  looking thing in the world, but it’s functional.  

A friend can jump in the Minecart at the front of  the Boat, so that it acts like a Passenger Seat.   Or you can use the Minecart with Chest  located inside the Boat to store items. No Tree Punching means you won’t get Logs  from punching trees anymore. Instead,  

You’ll need to start by collecting String, from  Grass, Tall Grass or Ferns. When you break Leaves,   you’ll now have a chance of getting Sticks as a  drop. Finally, you’ll need to collect some Flint.   When you combine these items in a Crafting Table,  you’ll be able to create a Wooden Axe, which will  

Let you start collecting supplies, so it’s just  going to make your early game a little longer. Second Inventory Page will  add an item to your inventory,   which will take you to another inventory  page when you press it. It’s almost like  

Having a Backpack mod, as you’ll instantly be  provided with an additional 26 inventory slots. Unluminous End brings an expansion to the End  Dimension, which should have more dramatic terrain   and biomes. With the pack enabled, you’ll find  locations like the Basalt Bluff, Lumin Valley and  

Forgotten Forest. The only problem you’ll find  with this pack is that there’s no Ender Dragon   fight, and End Cities are also removed, so take  that into consideration. To return home, you can   jump through a Portal located in the Lumin Valley  Biome. You can find Shulkers in the Forgotten  

Forest, and there’s a 1 in 44 chance of receiving  the Elytra as a drop from a Phantom in the End. By throwing 5 Blue Ice, 5 End  Rods and a Diamond on the ground,   it will turn into the Blizzard  Staff from Terraria. It looks great,  

And when you right click on a mob while  holding it, you’ll summon ice from the sky   which deals a lot of damage. The developer  has worked on many other fantasy weapons too. You can now craft Night Vision Goggles  from 5 Iron Ingots, a Redstone Dust,  

Nether Quartz, an Ender Pearl and a Glass  Block. They can be equipped in the head slot,   and you’ll be given the Night Vision  buff for as long as you’re wearing them.   So they’re going to be especially  useful when underground. Lodestone Warps allows you to quickly travel  throughout your world. To get started,  

You’ll need to link a Compass to a Lodestone. When  you place this Compass in an Item Frame, you can   right click it to teleport to the Lodestone it’s  linked to, at the cost of 1 level. Alternatively,   you can hold the Compass in your hand and right  click while sneaking to quickly teleport too.

A pack that’s not new, but has been  updated is Blaze and Cave’s Advancements.   It’s great for completionists, as it adds  over 900 new advancements to the game,   split throughout 16 different tabs.  So it’s going to give you a lot to do,   with some advancements having rewards to collect.

Portable Houses adds 3 new structures,  which are the Starter House,   Desert House and Mansion. You can use the trigger  command to see all the items each house requires,   and each one should cost a lot of materials,  so it’s not exactly overpowered. When you throw  

All the required items on the ground, you’ll  receive a miniature version of the structure,   which you can place down to spawn it. Read the  installation instructions carefully for this pack,   and note that if you pack up a house, all the  Chests and changes you’ve made will be cleared.

Technical Enchants will add over 40 new  Enchantments into Minecraft, and you can throw   a Book and Quill onto an Enchanting Table to get  a Guide Book. The easiest way to obtain these new   Enchantments would be by having levels already,  as well as Lapis in your inventory. When you throw  

A regular Book on an Enchanting Table, it will be  converted into one of the new custom Enchantments.   Then you can throw your Enchantment and  item onto an Anvil. Or you can just take   the item you want to enchant and throw it on the  Enchanting Table instead. Some of my favorites  

Are Waterjet for the Trident, which causes  hit enemies to be launched into the air.   Anti-Explosion for Swords, which causes  Creeper and TNT to not explode when nearby.   Auto Smelt for Axes and Pickaxes, which  will automatically give ingots from Ores,  

Or Charcoal from Logs. Or Lava Walker for  Boots, which will allow you to walk on Lava. This data pack adds the Tardis from  Doctor Who, which you should find   near the coordinates zero zero. When you  walk inside, you’ll see the control room,  

Where you can control lots of things about the  Tardis, and your world. Pulling the levers will   allow you to change the time, the location of  the Tardis, as well as the dimension it’s in.   The interior looks pretty cool too, and it  seems that any changes you make are saved.

Grandmaster Mode aims to make Minecraft a  lot harder, with a significant change coming   to the Ender Dragon. It’s going to be more  difficult to defeat, as it has 6 new attacks,   which are pretty dangerous to be hit by. All  hostile mobs in general have been buffed,  

Including the Wither who also has some  new attacks. You’ll no longer be able   to collect Ender Pearls from Piglins, as  they’ve been removed from the trade lists. You can now play as Miles from Spiderman, and  to start, you’ll need to craft his mask from 12  

Copper Ingots, 10 Netherite Ingots, 32 String, a  Golden Carrot and a Fermented Spider Eye. Before   you become Miles, you’ll also need to be bit by  a Cave Spider. Your first ability is web-sling,   and you’ll be able to fire out a web, attach  it to blocks and swing through terrain. It  

Takes a couple of tries to get used to it, but it  works really well. You also have a Punch ability,   which deals a lot more damage than regular melee  attacks, and can be turned into a Venom Punch.  

Your Cloak allows you to go invisible, when  you press F on it, which will cause hostile   enemies to lose aggression. There’s more to this  pack, with lots of abilities relying on Venom   which naturally charges up, and the developer  has a great video on the packs page.

Bubblellaneous starts by adding lots of new  furniture items, like Tables, Drawers, Cabinets,   Couches, Shelves, Chairs and more. All these new  items look great, and are quite easy to craft.   There’s also items in other categories,  like some foods, and security related  

Items which can emit Redstone signals, like  Lasers, Retinal Scanners and Pin Code Locks.   By throwing a Glass Bottle on a Crafting  Table, you’ll receive the Bubble Bench,   which is where you can start  crafting all these new items. Potions Plus adds lots of new drinkable  items, with there being about 14 right now.  

Some examples are the Potion of Swimming, which  requires a Water Bottle and a Heart of the Sea,   and it will give Dolphins Grace, Water Breathing  and Conduit Power. Or the God Potion, which   gives an insane amount of Health, Strength and  Resistances. There’s also Potions of Immortality,  

Instant Death and Saturation, as  well as drinks like Beer and Coffee. The Better Chests Loot Datapack changes the loot  that you find throughout your world. It’s aimed   to be vanilla friendly, and you should have a  chance of finding better items, like Diamonds,  

Tridents, enchanted equipment or even  the Totem of Undying inside of chests. Ice Tools brings in some new equipment, and you  can start by making Ice Ingots from Blue Dye   and Ice Blocks. Using the ingots, you can then  make tools like you normally would in a Crafting  

Table. They’re really powerful, as they have  Enchantments that aren’t achievable in the   vanilla game. So you can expect to break blocks  instantly, or kill most mobs in a single hit. That’s the end of this list. Make  sure to check out my channel for   more content like this, and subscribe for more.
