Purpose
ModdedCreativeMenu provides a faux-creative browser for custom server content.
- It indexes content defined by installed server datapacks.
- It presents that content in an in-game paged menu (items, blocks, mobs, enchant books).
- It lets players obtain/use that content without manually typing datapack commands like
lootorfunction.

Content Source
- The plugin reads server datapack content from
<world>/datapacks(folders and zip packs). - Visuals/icons are rendered by the player's active resource pack.
- In practice, this relies on both:
- datapack for item/function/enchantment definitions
- resource pack for custom models/textures
