Minecraft commands generated with JavaScript
npm install @open-mapmaking/mcjsMinecraft commands generated with JavaScript.
* Compiles .mcjs files to .mcfunction.
* Generate Minecraft commands using all the power of JavaScript.
In terminal, use the --help option to see all the commands available:
``
mcjs --help
1. Install Node.js, open a terminal and type:
`
npm install -g @open-mapmaking/mcjs
2. Create a test.mcjs file containing:
`javascript
// Regular javascript
let entities = ['creeper', 'zombie', 'bat']
for (let entity of entities) {
// cmd function is used to output Minecraft commands
cmd
summon ${entity} ~ ~ ~
say Summoned ${entity}!
}
3. Compile test.mcjs from terminal:
`
mcjs test.mcjs
test.mcjs is interpreted like regular javascript. A test.mcfunction file is generated from its execution, in the same folder. It contains all commands passed to the cmd function:
`
summon creeper ~ ~ ~
say Summoned creeper!
summon zombie ~ ~ ~
say Summoned zombie!
summon bat ~ ~ ~
say Summoned bat!
When the cmd function is called from a .mcjs file, it outputs the string it gets to the final .mcfunction file:
* test.mcjs
`javascript`
cmd('say hello')
cmd('summon creeper ~ ~ ~')
* test.mcfunction
`
say hello
summon creeper ~ ~ ~
cmd is also a template tag, which means that multiline strings are available:
* test.mcjs
`javascript
let name = 'Steve'
cmd
say ${name}!
say ${name.toUpperCase()}!!
* test.mcfunction
`
say Steve!
say STEVE!!
