This data pack makes it so that ringing a bell while certain blocks are above it or holding specific items will cause it to highlight different mobs whenever it is rung. Useful for when you're searching for unlit caves, or trying to find that nearby zombie that keeps annoying you with its growls...

2) Click "Select game version". !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/808b08785b5384cc1937341e692a412d3429df2e.png)
3) Select a Game Version. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/14225be43a4e36166f20947ceee59fc87413797b.png)
4) Click the download icon for both the data and resource pack files, as shown below. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/85d3c66b4d6a7211dab61017cea445be0dfa2d78.png)
5) Unzip the files (optional, but recommended as that's how I use/test them).
6) Add the resource pack to your Selected Packs (ideally at the top) in your Resource Packs menu.
7) Add the data pack to either your Selected Packs in the Data Packs menu (if adding at world creation) OR put it in your world's 'datapacks' folder (if adding afterwards. Recommended to either not have world open at the time or to close and reopen it afterwards).
8) You may get a prompt about experimental settings not being supported when opening the world. This can safely be ignored, but it's also never a bad idea to make a backup if it's a world you care about.
