Entity variables can hold selected entities, support += and -=, and can be assigned directly from a summon command.Read 4 Oct 2026 · github.com

Examples

The repository links working examples for string functions, raytracing, and subcommands.Read 4 Oct 2026 · github.com

File support

Programs can include other source files and copy supporting files into the generated datapack.Read 9 Oct 2026 · github.com

Minecraft development

The CLI includes a link command that symlinks a datapack folder into a named Minecraft save for development.Read 4 Oct 2026 · github.com

Minecraft workflow

The `datapack link` command symlinks a datapack folder into the `.minecraft` folder so changes carry over there.Read 9 Oct 2026 · github.com

Notable limit

The README says recursion in functions is disallowed because of limitations with data storage in entities.Read 9 Oct 2026 · github.com
