I wondered why is datapack not allowed,is it just like mods gives unfair advantages???

BTW what's your thought too?comment down below

Also you can agree my thoughts too if you want

datapacks can modify game behaviour and are not needed in any capacity for minecraft speedrunning

The use of data packs or mods in Minecraft speedrunning is typically restricted to maintain a level playing field and ensure fair competition. The primary reason for this restriction is to create a [retro bowl](https://retrobowl-game.co) standardized environment in which all speedrunners can compete on an equal footing.
