Minecraft Datapack Creator is a 3rd party program that makes it possible to create datapacks (duh) in a more easy way!
It features:
a higher-level language that makes things like "variable" creation easier
a GUI that makes you able to add, edit and delete files and folder
a way to turn off the compiler to write only in Minecraft commands
If you have an issue, you can leave your complaint in the Github Issue tracker or write your complaint in the comments. I will add a new issue to the issue tracker and give you the URL so you can stay updated about the issue progress.
From what I worked out just from loading it up, it gives you a template of the main folders/files like pack.mcmeta and a few others.
All you need to do is the rest like add commands/other aspects to consider the datapack you want, if it's about food, tools/armour, new blocks, etc. then form it to what your after.
Don't expect it to be all GUI based or simple like MCreator as I assume it's intended for getting people started not doing everything for them too much or with just clicking on buttons so some coding/command knowledge is needed.
As it's a jar file I'd say it is best to have Java installed but I'm not too sure if it's required as you can open it but it's not packaged and requesting decompiling with a Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Eclipse or IntelliJ which people use for mods and all sort of things like you'd expect with opening/accessing jars usually.

Thanks for your critique @SuntannedDuck2! But there are still some things where I got confused about what you wanted to say:

It would be nice if you explained to me what you mean by those quotes
You need at least Java 8 installed to get it working. It's a simple jar file, which you can double click like a normal .exe and it does the rest for you
@panda_gamer_dk You need to go to "Releases" and then select the version you wanna have installed. Then you go to "assets" and select the file whose name ends with a ".jar". That's the file you want to grab. If you have Java installed, you're good to go. Otherwise, follow this tutorial on how to install Java

Let me know what you think about it!
How to start it?
How do you even launch this or start it or etc?

I'd say it's still best to follow the directions on the Minecraft wiki here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Creating_a_data_pack or look at other datapacks and how they do things.

You'll probably also want Notepad++ to write your files in. It's much easier for programming than plain Notepad.
How to get it started can anyone make video plz
Do I need to make it a java file? and how if yes
