[Feature Request] Use Folder Outside of Minecraft
ardissaps opened this issue ยท 7 comments
Would you please support global datapack that can be in directory outside of minecraft folder? It will be useful if we have many instance of different minecraft so as example all instance can use datapack from Downloads folder or other folder. Thx in advance sir!
Sorry, this is a huge security risk, I definitely won't allow using anything from the Downloads folder.
However, I could imagine having a global folder for this within your app data folder or similar. But as this has potential to break a lot of stuff, I can already assure that it'll be locked behind a config option, that hopefully will be disabled in most modpacks by default.
I'll consider it for the next update, but like I said, it's a huge security issue, so I have to think a bit about it.
Or at least maybe outside instance but still under Launcher folder? (example ATLauncher, so all instance can use same folder as optional datapack folder unified for all Instance)
I can't code something specific for each launcher, especially as mods cannot detect what launcher is used.
Like I said, the only way I can imagine doing this, would be a new folder within your appdata folder.
Or some other specific folder.

Similiar with this but they dont support datapack, only world save and resource pack

Implemented in v1.14 requires a config value to be set to true, it'll use a global folder that is equal for everyone and cannot be changed.
