Ressource packs in data packs

Ressource packs should be integratable into datapacks. Having to seperately install the datapack and ressource pack is fairly user-unfriendly.

For this, the datapack menu when creating a world in 1.16 could be used, where you could sort the datapacks to set the priorities of the included ressource packs.
This menu would also have to be accessable after creating a world.
A datapack with an integrated ressource pack could also have a small icon in this menu to indicate that.

  I agree that it is inconvenient to install resourcepacks separately from datapacks in some circumstances. Perhaps resourcepacks can be included in datapacks, as the world can have a resourcepack that is not in the resourcepacks folder

  It should be the data and assets combined together into one.

  It would be a very nice add for datapacks; the installation of "adventure" datapacks would be much easier with this feature.

  A "resources.zip" file, similar to the one found in worlds, at the root of the datapack would work well.

  I was searching around to see if I can integrate a resource pack into a data pack and unfortunately this post has answered my question.

  I think the most intuitive way to implement this would be a pack that contains both a "data" folder and an "assets" folder. The pack.mcmeta would have, instead of a "pack_version" field, a "resource_pack_version" field and a "data_pack_version" field.

  To compare to comething a previous person said.

  It should be "data format" : { "min" : [], "max" : [] } and "resource format" : { "min" : [], "max" : [] } if they want to keep their current naming for some reason. if it's a data pack with resources it's dropped into data pack section and people will just download the entire data pack instead of just the resource pack when they connect to the server.

  Besides the pack.mcmeta and pack.png there are no shared folders or files between them anyways.
