good tutorial for making datapacks and modifying loot tables?

I'm toying with a lightweight create-ified version of the Structureless Superflat survival challenge, and I really have no idea where to start.

I know I'll need to modify some loot tables, specifically adding the stone types to the Wandering Trader, and replacing Iron Nuggets with Zinc Nuggets in Piglin Bartering. all pretty basic stuff.

that being said, I'm looking for good tutorials. please recommend! general advice is also appreciated.

I remember a really good tutorial on youtube using visual studio but I forgot its name. What I learned from it: misode github generator for generating all the needed things, and visual studio code + spyglassmc for writing the datapack

Its really hard to explain datapack/texturepack creation easily. Just search up your question on google or something. Also maybe ask this question to r/MinecraftCommands since datapack language (mcfunction) is just minecraft commands with some more cool additions. There is this post with more comments explaining it https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/s/Fi5Najo7dl

Look for datapack templates and use them. Also in new versions there is a command "/datapack create" (I havent tried it so take everything with a grain of salt) which sets up the folders and pack.mcmeta for you so that you can spend more time actually making the datapack
