HOW TO UNINSTALL FROM SERVER

First of all, multiplayer module is in BETA and that means this data pack should not be used on servers outside of purely testing purposes.

However if you already installed it and now want to disable it, follow these steps:

  1. Disable data pack from the world by console command / in game command: /datapack disable DATA_PACK_NAME
  2. Turn the server off.
  3. Navigate to files -> your world.
  4. Download level.dat file.
  5. Open downloaded file in NBT Explorer or other software supporting nbt file structures.
  6. Find and expand WorldGenSettings branch.
  7. Find and expand dimensions branch.
  8. Find and delete pillage:castle_dimension branch by selecting it with single click and clicking on the red x at the top of the window (NBT Explorer).
  9. Save changes by clicking on the floppy disc icon or by using Ctrl+S.
  10. Upload and replace the original level.dat (NOT level.dat_old) with the modified file.
  11. Boot the server.

Pillage the Village is the second entry in Devu Projects Vanilla Expansion Series. This data pack contains 4 brand new Villages, 1 new Bastion Remnant type and an abandoned variant for all vanilla ones. Beside all that, PtV also completly reworks Illusioner, adding a neat mix of attacks known from Minecraft Dungeons, as well as behaviours completely unseen before. Lastly, there are 2 fully fledged custom bosses and raid mechanics ported from Bedrock Edition. And of course there are special new mechanics for all of Goat Horns, brand new Totem and a balanced way to bypass max vanilla enchantments levels. And that still is not everything this "large mod-scaled" data pack offeres! On absolute top of that, most mechanics can be modified to your heart's content via special, in-game CONFIG menu.

Pillage the Village is a themed project revolving around Minecraft civilizations. Its content varies from new villages and bastions, through new enemies to fight, ending on new items allowing for things long awaited by some parts of the community, or just adding functionalities to otherwise quite useless items. All of that while trying to keep the most vanilla-ish vibe with some more dangerous measures, like it was during The Update Aquatic and of course both Village and Pillage and Nether Update, which when combined, describe the aspects of this Data Pack.

List of changes

Side-note:

Most of upcoming information serve as default setup. You can modify most options to your will with data pack config.

Grand Illusioner

An Illusioner whose illusionistic powers are beyond an ordinary Illusioner's capabilites. Unlike most Illusioners you can find, Grand Illusioner has chosen to pratice only defensive magic what makes his way easier to defeat, yet more challenging to overcome.
