Goal

Let content developers write Minecraft datapacks with a structured language and modern editor tooling, then generate and validate mcfunction files through a compiler.

Pipeline

  • Lexer / Parser / AST → TypeCheck → HIR → MIR → Optimizer → LIR → datapack emit.
  • CLI, formatter, linter, standard library, and testing tools.
  • Language server, VS Code extension, online playground, and documentation site.
  • A Minecraft-aware validator that checks target-platform constraints before generation.
