TMM datapack_extension
by YUN-SAN3
TMM datapack_extension lets server owners customize the game areas of the Train Murder Mystery mod through datapack JSON files.
What it does
A datapack placed in the world's datapacks folder can set the player spawn, spectator spawn, ready area, play area and offset for each game area. Areas are defined in a custom areas.json file, and values in it replace the defaults of the original mod. Where a setting is absent, the original default values remain in use. The area reset template and area reset paste settings are configured the same way.
Following the required folder structure, a datapack can be built with custom configuration files and applied without touching the original mod code. Hot reload is supported, so changes take effect with a reload instead of a server restart. Wathe: Murder Mystery is bundled inside the mod, so the game it configures is included in the same package.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2025-12-07. The code is not open source; a public source repository exists, but the mod is released under All rights reserved.
