In-Game Data Pack Editor

Data pack creation is a very useful feature for players, but I feel like there should be a in-game user interface for creating them. This "Data Pack Editor" could have a built-in command parser to help players as they are editing functions to find any errors before they use the "reload" command. This should be similar to parsing commands while entering them chat.

The "Data Pack Editor" could also have tools to help us when editing .json files. To be honest, I think creating advancements and crafting recipes is too difficult, because I need to remember all the different tags for the variables I use. I think this should be automated by using a simple tool for auto-generating .json files using a user interface rather than typing them by hand. The implementation of this feature can make data pack creation more accessible to the community.

    I suggest a general data pack directory on the client like the resourcepacks folder and copying over to each world on world creation.

    I LOVE this idea, if this were in the game, I'd never have to use a stupid generator again!
