*Getting started requires visual studio code and hopefully minecraft

The video by Legitimoose helps alot when starting out with datapacks
Especially this video [color=#2fcc71]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac6V5-KT6Rg&ab_channel=Legitimoose[/color]

This shows a small rundown on what datapacks can do!
[color=#18a085]https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Creating_a_data_pack[/color]

Now all this stuff has a purpose, the .mcfunction is a generic minecraft command output like using command blocks
the .json file tells minecraft what to look for, and are its main resources for extensive datapacks,
the pack.mcmeta tells minecraft that the thing in the folder is a datapack!


Your namespace is what holds all .mcfunction files and is what shows up when executing a file

Example: yournamespace:test.mcfunction

Basics:
Usually you would start a command with /give @p stick 1
But what if you want to execute if a condition happens, a better way to format this command is /execute as @a at @s run give @s stick 1
Using Commands with datapacks also lets you use /schedule function command.

Variables:
Now in regular coding you would have variables, well minecraft has them too!!
Using the scoreboard command allows you to add dummy scoreboards or more selective scoreboards!
doing /scoreboard objectives add temp dummy "Temp" allows a scoreboard only affected by commands.
But Wait! Its even more crazy! by using /scoreboard objectives add mined_stone minecraft.mined:minecraft.stone "Mined Stone"
you can detect when a player mines stone!
How to detect if a player has a score? Do /execute as @a at @s if entity @s[scores={temp=1..}] run say hello world ,This will run
when the scoreboard is higher than 0.

Math:
Doing math in minecraft is really easy! By using scoreboards you can add, subtract, multiply, divide,
percentage, and equal/less than/greater than signs!
by using this command /scoreboard players operation @p temp += @p temp adds the scoreboard
temp by itself!
