This time the work is focused on Japan, with a resolution of 30m, which means that a block in the game corresponds to 30m in the real world

Japan, located in the Pacific "Ring of Fire", boasts a variety of breathtaking landscapes that are perfectly suited for the use of high-resolution geographic data. From the spectacular coastlines overlooking the Pacific Ocean, such as the Izu Peninsula and Sagami Bay, to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in the country and an iconic symbol of Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun offers an incredible diversity of scenery.
Mountain ranges, such as the Japanese Alps and the Hida Mountains, offer breathtaking hiking trails and stunning mountain views. The presence of numerous active and dormant volcanoes, including Mount Asama and Mount Sakurajima, adds a touch of drama to the landscape, while the thousands of islands that dot the Japanese archipelago, such as Hokkaido and Okinawa, offer a variety of unique ecosystems.

Was wondering if there was a way to get this to work on 1.21.1? I'm getting a datapack initialization error and when I run in safe mode I can't add any datapacks to the map.
