Again, not really gonna be able to help you find the creator of the pack, and I don't think that would be beneficial anyway

If you have a specific issue you're running into while trying to update this, please elaborate

well the problem is i really want this datapack to continue as it is a plugin i found that is very amusing visually

and the problem is i haven't looked at the datapack making a single time in a few years and i couldn't keep up with the updates and i really want to optimize it. So i'm looking for suggestions and i can't get it to work but i fixed a lot of things

[vernal helm]

And that's fine, I'm not saying to give up

[vernal helm]

We're not really going to be able to offer broad suggestions. If you know something isn't working or you don't understand an error in the logs, we can help with that, but the answer to "How do I update this to the latest versions?" is simply to do it

It's going to be a lot of work, certainly

[manic cove]

i didn't say update it for me

i said i can't get it to work it seems almost perfect to me and something is missing i can't find it i need help

[vernal helm]

I didn't say you did, I said we can't give advice without knowing the actual problem

Check the logs

Output Logs

The logs are where Minecraft displays errors when something goes wrong and can thus help you gain information about why something isn't working for you! To open the logs:

1. Enable logs in the Minecraft Launcher
2. Start your game (or restart it if you already have an open instance)
3. Enjoy spotting errors getting much easier!

The logs will surely be filled with errors, they are your starting point

Like Kano said

[manic cove]

i used server log

it works too i just can't figure out why the detections are not working or maybe the tick is not working

i just upload it to my localhost server and restart it every time I make a change

[vernal helm]

I recommend testing and fixing in singleplayer

[vernal helm]

Clearly it isn't working, so that's why you need to see what errors show up in the logs

You may also not have changed the folder names yet

Updating Datapacks Past 1.21

1.21 renamed many folders that make up a Minecraft datapack, breaking virtually all datapacks from prior versions. Now, all folders which previously had plural names, except tags, now have singular names.
Below is a list of all folder names changed in 1.21:
structures -> structure
advancements -> advancement
recipes -> recipe
loot_tables -> loot_table
predicates -> predicate
item_modifiers -> item_modifier
functions -> function
tags/functions -> tags/function
tags/items -> tags/item
tags/blocks -> tags/block
tags/entity_types -> tags/entity_type
tags/fluids -> tags/fluid
tags/game_events -> tags/game_event
