Fix: missing datapacks (OpenLoader)

If your server refuses to start (or a world won’t load) and the log says datapacks are missing, it usually means something in the server pack wasn’t installed correctly — often files under openloader/ or config/.

Fix steps

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Back up your world folder.
  3. Re-install the official server pack for the exact modpack version you’re running.
  4. Compare your server folder with the fresh server pack, especially:
    • openloader/
    • config/
    • mods/
  5. Don’t “update a single mod” to fix it — restore the whole pack.

Why this happens

Some modpacks ship required datapacks and config-driven content. If a hosting panel “updates” only the jar/mods but not the accompanying folders, the server can’t find required content and fails to load.
