Custom fuels not working

[woeful plover]

I'm trying to add custom fuels from Create Diesel Generators, but for some reason I can't seem to get my datapack to work.
folder path: .minecraft/config/openloader/data/liquidfuel/data/railways_liquid_fuel/diesel.json

Hello @woeful plover! Someone will help you shortly, please do not ping moderators or other people and just wait for someone to come help.

Could you try putting it in a normal datapack in your save first? Also, do you have the "pack.mcmeta" file so that it's actually recognized as a valid datapack?

[woeful plover]

yeah, ill try it as a normal datapack. and yes, i have the pack mcmeta, and the datapack shows up when i use /datapack list

just tried as a normal datapack. its still not working

@patent crane any updates on this? sorry if im not supposed to ping you, idk if youd seed this otherwise

I didn't see it before, but your datapack structure is wrong. Here's what the directory layout should be:

.minecraft/saves/MySave/datapacks/my_pack/pack.mcmeta
.minecraft/saves/MySave/datapacks/my_pack/data/my_namespace_usually_same_as_my_pack/railways_liquid_fuel/diesel.json

You are missing the [namespace] element between my_pack/data and railways_liquid_fuel/diesel.json

And It's totally fine to ping me (or other devs) once I/they enter the discussion, the bot is just trying to discourage any @ Moderator pings on unanswered questions b/c people are impatient :)
