MCCode

MCCode is a cli for generating mcfunction files from so-called ".mccode" files for Minecraft.

It adds three commands to the command line:

mccode generate PACKNAME: It will generate a template datapack.

mccode compile PATH: It will compile all files in the specified folder. PATH default is ./.

mccode watch PATH: It will compile all files in the specified folder. PATH default is ./.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every file has to start with "!file: PATH" where PATH has to be replaced with a relative path for the new file.

Commands have to start with a "/". There are also some useful shortcuts like log(TEXT) where TEXT will be sent to every creative and spectator player in a fancy way, rather than say TEXT. For every execute "sub-command" like execute as except "store" there is a shortcut:

``mccode
!file: ./greet

as(@p) {
/say hi
/say hello
}
`

will result to execute as @p run say hi and execute as @p run say hello. You can also seperate multiple arguments with || like this: asat(@p || @e[limit=1]) /say @s which will result in:

`mcfunction
execute as @p at @s run say @s
execute as @e[limit=1] run say @s
`

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The if statement is a little bit more advanced:

- conditions can be seperated with || to choose between one
- conditions can be seperated with && to require both
- conditions can be inverted with ! to form a unless command
- conditions can be grouped with ()
- the if statement can be followed by a else statement

`mccode
if(entity @e || entity @p) /say hi

if(entity @p && entity @r) {
/say hello
}

if(!entity @a) /say nobody online

if(entity @p[distance=..10]) /say nearby player
else /say no nearby player
`

`mcfunction
execute if entity @e run say hi
execute if entity @p run say hi

execute if entity @p if entity @r run say hello

execute unless entity @a run say nobody online

execute if entity @p[distance=..10] run say nearby player
execute unless entity @p[distance=..10] run say no nearby player
`

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A file can containt data for multiple mcfunctions to generate:

`mccode
!file: ./hello
/say hello

!file: ./hi
/say hi
``

This will generate two seperate files.
