Yes. They're called datapacks.

"Oh! Those aren't mods!"

Well, they modify the game, so they're mods.

Yeah what I was asking about is official support in Java; that's probably what OP is referencing. I looked it up and the answer is no.

It's a bit like saying Skyrim didn't have mod support in 2011 when it released until 2017 when Creation Club content was added. Of course there were mods in 2011 but not officially supported ones.

Also texture/resource packs are also technically mods, because you are modifying the game's resources and packs are officially supported.
