Is there anywhere I can find just... a laid out document of all the namespaces in vanilla Minecraft, or a datapack that covers all the vanilla mobs/blocks etc? I learn best by looking at what already exists and figuring out how to modify it. So for example, if I wanted to modify zombie behaviour, the first thing I want to do is be able to look at the default vanilla data for a zombie to figure out how it works - and I'm stumped on how to find this. Existing datapacks only have the things that have changed (obviously) and all the official Mojang documentation seems to be for Bedrock.

If you extract the jar, you can get the default data and resource pack for that version. You won’t find data for mobs and blocks though, since those are defined in the game code and not data-driven

If you only want to browse the "vanilla data pack", you can find that in the version jar, like Eroxen said or here (https://github.com/misode/mcmeta/tree/data) if you want to view it online, there is even a versioned history if you select one of the tags

Thank you, I'll have a look at that link and a rummage around in the jar
If mobs and blocks aren't governed by data, how do datapacks make changes to them?
keen patio
They use workarounds to make it looks like blocks and mobs are changed
Like placing a display entity with a custom model that makes it look like a new block
Or using a combination of models, mobs and commands to make new mobs
Though blocks and mobs are not the easiest and cleanest to do with data packs
Like — since all "blocks" are entities, they create more lag for the server and client than regular blocks

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing - I have datapacks that e.g. make Endermen not pick up blocks

These give endermen an invisible block into their hands or what Eroxen said

That one can be controlled by a block tag, but most things require dirty workarounds

Huh

I keep this updated with every version

This may explain why I've been struggling then!
