Here are the data packs we use:

Our main datapack bundle comes from vanillatweaks and can be found here: https://vanillatweaks.net/share#xMDuyU
- Armor Statues - Provides a unique book which allows the posing and modification of armor stands and item frames
- AFK Display - Grays out a player's name if AFK for 5 minutes
- Durability Ping - Get notified when a tool is under 10% durability
- Track Statistics - Tracks some interesting statistics
- Track Raw Statistics - Adds 100+ things to a scoreboard which can rotate and show online players who has done what
- Coordinates HUD - Shows the players XYZ coords and time of day above the hotbar
- Workstation Highlights - Allows you to find the workstation of any villager
- Player Head Drops - Players will drop their heads when killed. The dropped head will have a tag showing who killed them. The block is a player head with a texture baked into the item, so texture will persist even if the player changes skins.
- More Mob Heads - Mobs have a chance to drop their head when killed, the head is a player head with a texture baked into the item.
- Villager Death Messages - Notifies the server chat when a villager is killed
- Wandering Trades - The wandering trader will now sell mini blocks which cost emeralds AND a full size version of the mini block. The blocks are player heads with textures baked into the item.
Custom Roleplay Data - A datapack to allow custom re-modeling of items for additional roleplay stuff; it's technically no new items, but if a custom model is added to the server resource pack, it renders in-game for anyone in game. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/custom-roleplay-data-datapack. Our current list of custom models can be viewed here.
Stillagers - A custom DataPack made by surfrock66, this allows you to apply a nametag to Villagers titled "Stillager" which disables their AI which reduces lag in 1x1 spaces in trading halls. The still villagers will restock at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM in game. This can be reversed by applying the nametag "Moveager." https://www.teh3l3m3nts.com/new-datapack-stillagers/
