• enables server-side resource loading in 1.3-1.12
• enables loading data packs from the datapacks/ directory in 1.3-1.12
• no /datapacks command has been added in these versions yet

Server Resources

Server-side resource loading works much the same as client-side resource loading. Server resources should be placed in /data/<namespace>/ directories, from where they will be loaded automatically. You can retrieve server resources through the server resource manager.

ResourceManager resourceManager = ResourceManager.server();

// this gets the top resource at /data/example/cookies/chocolate_chip_cookie.json
Optional<Resource> resource = resourceManager.getResource(ResourceLocation.of("example", "cookies/chocolate_chip_cookie.json"));

Similarly, you can query all loaded data packs through the server pack repository.

ResourcePackRepository packRepository = ResourcePackRepository.server();

// this gets all data packs that are currently enabled
Collection<ResourcePack> datapacks = packRepository.openSelectedPacks();

Data Packs

Data packs will be loaded from the datapacks/ directory. Similarly to 1.13+, any data packs found will be enabled by default. At this time there is no /datapacks command in 1.3-1.12 where users can control which data packs are enabled, but the level.dat file is extended to include lists or enabled and disabled packs, and packs can of course be enabled/disabled programmatically.

Loot Tables, Advancements, and Command Functions

In 1.9-1.12 loot tables, advancements, and command functions, are loaded from the data/ directory. This is not changed, and resources discovered from there have precedence over resources loaded from data packs. In a way, the data/ directory acts as a data pack that is fixed at the top of the list.
