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...
Tags and scoreboards can be cleaned up by running /function bellhighlight:cleanup
Highlight Details:
By default, the highlight is triggered when a valid mob for the item/block is detected within 32 blocks, causing all valid mobs within 48 blocks to be highlighted. These distances can be doubled by holding a Nether Star in the offhand.

Installation Instructions to Get the Data AND Resource Packs:
1) Select "Files"
2) Select a Version
3) Click "View Full Page"
4) Click "Download" to download the data pack file, click "Additonal Files" to show the resource pack file, then click the download icon to download it, as shown below.
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.
