Shulkerscript

Shulkerscript is a scripting language and command-line tool for creating Minecraft data packs. Its syntax resembles other programming languages and extends beyond `.mcfunction` files: one source file can generate multiple function files callable from Minecraft or other Shulkerscript files. Language features include functions, imports, tags, conditionals, execute blocks, groupings, literal commands, and embedded Lua. Functions marked with `#[tick]` can run every tick, while `#[load]` functions can run when a data pack loads. The CLI builds projects into a `dist` directory, watches for file changes, and can package a compiled project as a ZIP archive. An online playground allows browser use without installation, and an optional official Visual Studio Code extension supplies syntax highlighting and snippets. Installation instructions cover Windows, Linux, and macOS, with options including GitHub releases, cargo-binstall, and building from source with Rust and Cargo. The project is free and open source. The documentation labels the playground and Lua integration as works in progress.
