Old Datapack to 1.20.2+ syntax updater python script
Hey I know that a lot of people may have made datapacks pre-1.20.2 and the syntax change. With the syntax change going forward from 1.20.2 everyone's datapack code will have to be different. I have made a simple python script to update datapacks made before the syntax change. You can just insert the directory of the folder you want to update and run the script. The script will automatically rewrite all the files so that it is in the new format. I suggest making a copy of your code and then updating the copy as this will rewrite your code with no going back.

so its like a datapack updater?
Exactly what it does. Updates your data packs to be 1.20.2+ compatible. If you have a large datapack with a ton of files, it would take forever to update every change like this. I just made a "find and replace" script so that you can just run it and it will do all the changes for you over your entire datapack. Then you don't have to do that huge task manually.
