+# 📦 Datapacks & Dev-World Overview
+
+## 🎒 1. `datapacks/` — Minecraft’s Built-In Modding System
+
+Datapacks are Minecraft’s **official way to add custom game logic** without installing mods.  
+They allow you to create:
+
+- 🍲 Recipes  
+- 🎁 Loot tables  
+- 🗺 Structures  
+- ⚙️ Commands/functions  
+- 🌌 Dimensions  
+- 🏆 Advancements  
+- 🌱 Worldgen features  
+- 👾 Mob behavior (via loot/function triggers)
+
+Datapacks live inside:
+
+```
+world/datapacks/
+```
+
+(or inside any other world folder you choose).
+
+### 📁 Example Structure
+
+```
+world/
+  datapacks/
+    my_custom_pack/
+      pack.mcmeta
+      data/
+        minecraft/
+        mypack/
+```
+
+### ⚡ How Datapacks Work
+
+- When the server starts, Minecraft **automatically loads** all datapacks in that folder.
+- You can reload them live with:
+
+```
+/reload
+```
+
+### 🧠 Why Track Datapacks in Git?
+
+Because datapacks are basically **tiny mods made from text files**, Git gives you:
+
+- Full version control  
+- Rollbacks for bad experiments  
+- A safe way to iterate  
+- Easy syncing between machines  
+- A complete history of every change  
+
+> **Note:** Minecraft 1.1 did not support datapacks yet — but this structure is useful for future worlds or modern servers.
+

+
+## 🌍 2. `dev-world/` — A Safe Testing Sandbox
+
+`dev-world/` is **not** a built-in Minecraft feature.  
+It’s a folder **you create** to safely test changes without risking the real world.
+
+### 🎯 Purpose
+
+Use this sandbox world to test:
+
+- Dangerous commands  
+- Datapack functionality  
+- Worldgen changes  
+- NBT edits  
+- Anything experimental  
+
+### 📁 Example Structure
+
+```
+dev-world/
+  level.dat
+  region/
+  playerdata/
+```
+
+This mirrors your real `world/` folder.
+
+### 💡 Why a Dev World?
+
+- Reset it instantly  
+- Duplicate it whenever needed  
+- Safely break anything  
+- Prototype new features  
+- Avoid griefing or corrupting the main world  
+
+### 🔧 How to Use `dev-world/`
+
+In your `server.properties`, set:
+
+```
+level-name=dev-world
+```
+
+Start the server → it loads the dev world.
+
+When you're finished testing, switch back:
+
+```
+level-name=world
+```
