# ❓ What Are Datapacks ❓

Datapacks are ZIP files that can customize your Minecraft experience. They can be used to add/remove/change advancements, loot, structures, recipes, etc without the code modification that mods do.

|| Datapacks have only been implemented in Minecraft recently, so they only work on Minecraft `1.13.x+`. Make sure to check if the datapack you want to use works on the newest Minecraft versions!

# Find Your Datapack

To set up a datapack on your server you need to first find one. You can use our `Datapack Installer` to search for it (recommended) or you can manually find one to install.

|| NOTE: [This is a good source](https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/datapacks/) to find datapacks to install manually.

—

2. Click on `Files`, then on `FTP File Access`, and log in.


—

3. Open your current world folder.


|| This folder might not be called `world`! The world folder name will be the same world name that is on your main server page.

—

4. Open the `datapacks` folder (which is located in your world folder).


—

5. On the bottom left, click `upload`, upload your datapack, then start your server.


||| A Datapack is a ZIP file! Do not extract it! Leave the ZIP file itself in your world’s datapacks folder.

That’s how to install a datapack manually.
