Paxi is an innovative utility mod designed to streamline the management of data and resource packs in Minecraft, addressing the common challenge of manually loading these packs for every single world. Traditionally, players and modpack creators have to go through a tedious process of selecting and enabling data packs for each new world they create or join, which can be particularly cumbersome when dealing with numerous packs. Paxi eliminates this hassle by introducing a centralized 'paxi' folder within your Minecraft configuration directory. By placing your desired data and resource packs into this designated folder, they will be automatically applied to all worlds you access, significantly simplifying your gameplay experience and making modpack development much more efficient and user-friendly for everyone involved. This mod fundamentally changes how data and resource packs are integrated into your Minecraft sessions. Instead of per-world installations, Paxi establishes a global system. It creates a 'datapacks' subfolder within the 'paxi' configuration directory, where any data packs you place will be automatically detected and loaded into every world. For resource packs, a similar 'resourcepacks' subfolder is established. This means that once packs are added to the Paxi folder, they are available everywhere without further intervention. The mod also offers advanced features like defining a specific loading order for both data and resource packs through JSON files, ensuring compatibility and predictable behavior, and even allows for loading packs from external directories relative to your Minecraft instance, offering unparalleled flexibility for complex setups and custom installations. Paxi is designed for broad compatibility across various Minecraft versions and mod loaders. It officially supports Fabric, Forge, and NeoForged loaders, and is available for Minecraft versions including 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21, and 1.21.1. The mod's functionality is flexible regarding installation: it is optional on both the client and the server. This means you can install Paxi solely on your client if you only wish to manage resource packs or data packs for your personal gameplay, or on your server if you want to ensure all players on that server automatically receive specific data packs. The choice depends entirely on your specific needs and how you intend to utilize the mod's powerful global pack management capabilities. Installing Paxi is a straightforward process that ensures its global pack loading functionality is correctly implemented. After downloading the mod file, you should place it into the 'mods' folder of your Minecraft installation. For Fabric, Forge, or NeoForged, this is the standard location. Before launching the game, it's crucial to verify that you have the correct version of the mod for your Minecraft version and chosen loader. Upon the first launch with Paxi installed, the mod will automatically create the necessary 'paxi' folder within your Minecraft configuration directory, along with its subfolders for data and resource packs, and the order configuration files, ready for you to populate with your desired content.
