Will this data pack work with my current world?

No, you need to generate a new world with the data pack enabled to see the changes. Existing worlds won't update their terrain.

Can I use this with other data packs?

Yes, it works fine alongside other data packs. There shouldn't be any conflicts since it just removes vegetation.

Do I need Forge or Fabric to use this?

No. Data packs are vanilla Minecraft and work without any mods installed. Just put the file in your datapacks folder.

What if I want grass back in certain biomes?

This data pack removes vegetation from all biomes. If you want selective removal, you'd need to modify the data pack yourself or look for a different one.

Does this affect grass I plant myself?

No, this only changes world generation. Grass and plants you place manually will stay exactly where you put them.

No More Grass and Kelp Data Pack 1.21.1

The No More Grass and Kelp Data Pack strips out grass, tall grass, kelp, seagrass, and ferns from your Minecraft world. If you want a cleaner look without all the vegetation cluttering up your terrain, this data pack does exactly that. It works for both land and ocean biomes, giving you a more barren, minimalist landscape.

What This Data Pack Does

Removes Vegetation

Eliminates grass blocks, tall grass, kelp, seagrass, and ferns from world generation. Your terrain stays grass-free and clean from the moment you generate a new world.

Works Everywhere

Changes apply to all biomes. Land biomes lose their grass and ferns, while ocean and river biomes lose seagrass and kelp.

No Performance Hit

This is a simple data pack. It doesn’t bog down your game or cause lag.
