If you can’t find the answer to your question, feel free to ask in our Discord server.
Why don't Myriad items show up in the creative inventory?
This is a datapack. Datapacks do not have the proper functionality to add items to the creative inventory yet.
Use
/loot give @s loot myriad:items/<item>instead.Why is Myriad a data pack instead of a mod?
Because it’s a very interesting field and has great potential for the future.
It also runs completely server-side and works with vanilla clients.
Also sunk cost fallacy.
…and Java is a disgusting programming language.
Why doesn't my plugin-based server software work?
Paper, Spigot, Sponge, Purpur, etc. are not friendly towards data pack features.
Additionally, many performance plugins are notorious for downright deleting entities that this pack relies on.
If you want a performant server, I would recommend Fabric with Lithium.
If you still need plugins, Cardboard offers an elegant solution.
How do I get the resource pack?
When clicking the main download button on Modrinth, the required resource pack is not downloaded alongside the data pack. This Modrinth problem is one of our most common questions. To learn more, read this issue on GitHub.
It is attached with every Modrinth version as a zip file. To find it, navigate to the versions tab, choose the version you want, and scroll to the bottom to find it. It will be labeled “required resource pack”.
If you do not have it downloaded on first login, there will be a bright red message printed in the chat that links you to the proper place.
The data pack and resource pack are included separately.
The data pack provides the logic, the resource pack provides the visuals.
How can I spawn mobs from the pack?
This is a datapack. Datapacks do not have the proper functionality to add true mobs yet, so /summon will not work.
Use
/function tcc:commands/summon/<insert mob here>instead.Can you backport Myriad to an older version?
No.
Many features rely on data pack content that is exclusive to modern versions.
Development time is also better spent making new content, rather than wasted on porting to janky old codebases.
Can you add compatibility with <insert thing here>?
Depends on what, ask in our Discord.
Most datapack compatibility issues can be solved by using Smithed Conventions or Weld.
Can I get this on Bedrock Edition?
No. Myriad is not made for Bedrock Edition.
It will not be ported to Bedrock Edition unless you pay me obscene amounts of money.
