reason to put datapacks in resource packs?

why do you put those datapacks in resource pack section? shouldnt they be in datapacks section, doing that means any modpack creator will get the license strike due to curseforge being unable to find those in datapack section (this for all the repurposed/yung compatibility datapacks)
CF does indeed want datapack creators to upload them as resourcepacks. Someone got to hyped creating the datapack section without considering the consequences and now it's to late to remove it. Install the datapacks trought the CF Launcher & do not move them. Configure whichever mod you use to load them, to load them out of the resourcepacks folder.
so i will need to install the datapacks which are in the resource packs section into the paxi datapack folder and then i need to automatically load them? or what
You would switch to global packs and it’ll load the datapacks from resourcepacks folder.
Or switch to openloader and set it to read from resourcepacks folder.
Or copy the datapack into the paxi folder and then unzip them so the hash system doesn’t detect them but this could cause cf moderators to strike you for bypassing rules if they are feeling feisty.
or wait for paxi to update to where you can tell it to load from resourcepacks folder
Global Packs reads from resourcepacks folder by default without any configuring needed
(in the meanwhile i redownloaded the datapacks/resourcepacks like 2 times 💀 )
alright, in the meanwhile global packs didnt even work for resource packs,so i had to use paxi only for resource packs, and global packs for datapacks and datapacks in resource pack folder 💀
Well idk how to link it as it's notifications not support,altough ima wait to see how it goes with modrinth modpacks
while using them from datapack section in modrinth seems to not strike me ( i will check tomorrow morning once i wake up)
@VaporeonScripts, you could try both shipping the datapack in the override and have it listed in the manifest. CF launcher will download it into the resourcepacks folder where it will do nothing but still give me download counts. But the datapacks in the override folder will still work. They probably want the downloads to still count probably.
If they still fight back, link them this github post with my responses here and they should back down.
The project was made back when curseforge did not have datapack section. And they said they would one day migrate all legacy resourcepacks tagged as datapacks to the datapack section. As you can see, curseforge is slacking on this. And I rather not spin up a whole new project myself just to move all my stuff as it is quite a bit of work.
Also I doubt curseforge would strike modpack creators. Especially as shown on the project's sidebar, datapack is an option to select for a resourcepack project so CF knew what they gotten themselves into. If you get struck by CF, lmk and who youa re talking to so I can be blunt to them about their problem they made for themselves.
for CF. you would make a new ticket here explaining the issue and the pack and a CF rep can undo the rejection. Hopefully they can reach out to the CF moderator to tell them to stop rejecting datapacks until CF properly handles them

(Yes, I know this all sounds dumb, CF also knows that it's dumb, and they are working on a solution)
P.s. CF Will transfer all existing datapacks to the datapack project type, once those can be installed at all.
Which datapack loading mod do you use? Paxi, Global Packs, OpenLoader, KubeJS?
ima update all the mods, upload the pack, if i get the strike, im reporting it explaining that curseforge didnt yet move ur datapacks from res packs to datapacks and that i got permission to upload ur datapacks in my modpack by linking this issue?
Hmm checking paxi's configs and I can't seem to find how to make it target the default resourcepacks folder to load datapacks. Let me poke the Paxi dev for advice
