Paxi Extra
by aspctt
Paxi Extra lets a Minecraft world load built-in resource packs and data packs in a chosen order, and it is an addon for the Paxi pack loader.
What it does
Paxi loads packs without any manual steps, and this addon adds control over which ones load and where they sit. Players can write a packs list so only the packs they want are loaded, and anything not listed is left out. Packs added by mods can also be placed in the order the list sets, which the default Paxi behavior does not allow.
The addon also handles the Paxi pack folder layout. A --user-- flag in the list marks the point where packs picked by the player sit, so packs above it are overridden by the player's own choices and packs below it sit at the top. Leaving the flag out keeps every pack on top, as Paxi normally does. Paxi Extra requires Paxi, and its release files for 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2 are published for Fabric and NeoForge.
Either side can run Paxi Extra, and neither needs it. Its license is a copyleft license that allows later versions, and the project is open source with a public issue tracker. The mod is listed under Management, with Utility, Decoration and Library as other categories.
Key features
Packs list with load order
Packs are written in a list, and a later entry in the list overrides an earlier one, so the last pack wins.
User flag for manual packs
The --user-- flag sets where packs the player picked by hand sit within the stack.
Fixed pack order
Packs cannot be dragged or reordered in the pack screen, because the list decides their position.
Generated datapack folder
The addon can create the datapack folder and its JSON file at startup, instead of after world generation.

Later in the list wins. Anything above --user-- sits under the packs you picked yourself, anything below it sits on top of them. Leave --user-- out and everything stays on top, the way Paxi normally does it. For the built-in pack support you need the ID of the pack. You can check the mod's source, guess it, or use…
