## Other

### Extra Information

* By holding different items, these being a map, a compass, a clock, or a leash (while on a horse), it will give you some information
	+ Map will give you cords, compass will tell you what direction you are looking in, a clock will tell the exact time, and a leash will tell the speed and jump hight of a horse you are riding
	+ This datapack can be toggled in the "/trigger Datapacks" menu

### Villager Leash

* Lets you move villagers around with a fishing rod. Duh
* This datapack can be toggled in the "/trigger Datapacks" menu

### Shulker to Backpack

* Simply by putting a shulker box in your offhand, you are able to view and modify the contents of the shulker box
* To swap headpieces, simply place your helmet, player head, dragon head, carved pumpkin, end rod, glass, ice, white banner (with any design), or observer into your offhand. It will remove curses from it for reasons...so I guess that's cool.
* **WARNING** - DO NOT try to mess this datapack. This is by the far the buggiest datapack in this compilation, and any attempts to exploit the system can very easily or even cause you to loose your items, or even stop the datapack from working for you. The only solution I know to fix this is completely resetting your character
