In their own words
PackForge
PackForge is a web service that turns plain-English requests into downloadable ZIP datapacks for Minecraft. It can generate custom weapons and items, commands and abilities, loot drops, recipes, functions, and other SMP features. Validation checks look for broken JSON, dangling functions, and uninitialized scoreboards; PackForge says failed checks are repaired before another AI review. The Command Builder creates version-aware commands and indicates whether to run them in chat, a command block, or both. Pack Upgrader accepts an older datapack ZIP and migrates its format, folders, commands, and item syntax to a selected newer version. The FAQ lists stable Minecraft Java releases from 1.20.1 through 1.21.11. Standard datapacks can run in Realms, singleplayer, and Java servers without players installing anything. The free plan allows two generations monthly. Crafter costs $7.99 a month, Creator $16 a month, and Server $32 a month. Prompts go to a third-party AI provider, and generated packs may be retained without a fixed deletion schedule.
