Data Packs are considered "mods" on the app & frontend even though there is a separate listing for them.

Please confirm the following.

• I checked the existing issues for duplicate problems
• I have tried resolving the issue using the support portal

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge, Chrome (including Arc, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi), Firefox, Safari

Describe the bug

The website does not filter out datapacks from the mods listing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://modrinth.com or open the Modrinth App
2. Click on the Discover content > Mods button (mr.com)/Click on the compass (Discover) button and select Mods (MR App)
3. Search for a datapack (An example: Terralith)
4. The datapack will appear in the mods section.

Expected behavior

The datapack does not appear in the search listing.

Additional context

I'm not sure if this is a true bug since Modrinth does package it into a mod .jar, therefore technically making it a mod. However, I was informed by the support agent that this is a bug on the frontend and advised me to file a report.

That seems to be fully intentional on the dev's part. If you click the GitHub badge, Terralith's release page says:

If you would like the mod version, you can download it from Modrinth.

The impression I've had is that data pack devs often package them as mods for convenience, rather than Modrinth doing that.

Nope, Modrinth has an option to package datapacks as mods automatically. In this case I suppose the author has taken it into account though.
