MCFunction Editor

Discord Server

Default theme

Light theme

This is a ready-to-use but being worked on text editor for Minecraft commands.
It's currently aimed at Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Java Edition.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for contributions and/or feature requests.

Features:

• Syntax Highlighting
  This editor has proper syntax highlighting for commands.
• Performance
  Although it's written in Python, this editor is way more efficient than performance intensive editors like VSCode. It uses at least 10 times less ram. And on my 1.8 GHz (very bad) CPU, CPU usage is around 0-2% while writing!

• Small
  The text editor is relatively small compared to any others. The download size is very small and it's lightweight.
• Easy Manipulation
  You can easily manipulate parts of the text editor by just configuring variables. You can also change your themes in familiar ways by changing the "dark.qss" and "light.qss" files. Is the font ugly? Change it! If you need help, don't hesitate to ask.
• Aimed at Commands
  This editor is aimed specifically for commands and mcfunction, nothing else meaning it's the main focus and will be richest.
• Command Bar
  Does not refer to CLI
  The editor has a small command bar which you can run Python, some editor methods, or get documentation from.
  
• In-editor Python
  Available only in beta.
  Allows you to run Python to assist yourself with certain tasks, such as folder setup.
  It also allows libraries to be used while running Python on the MCFunction editor.
  This also means you can easily extend the exitor

Changelog

Recent changes, whether or not in the current latest tag.
If you would like to test things before the tag is released, just manually copy each file OR clone/download the repo.

• Add support for Python to be ran in the editor.
• Fix bug of save shortcut that removes the need of save as every time using invalid file path if none is provided.

Installation:

For the latest release, simply follow the instructions on the release. Releases are also called 'tags'.
For latest working beta:

• Install Python 3.9+ (make sure to tick environment variable)
• Run pip install PySide6, if it fails try pip3 install PySide6 on Command Prompt/Terminal.
• Download the repository

**NOTE**: I highly recommend downloading the latest _tag_ or release. Since it has an easy to download ZIP. And it's safe to use (because it's been tested well).

• Go to the 'app' directory, go to main.py, read through the first comment.
• Run main.py and you're done. I recommend you make a shortcut to main.py. If there are any problems, get the path to your installation of MCFunction-Editor. Copy it. Go to Command Prompt and run cd <path>. Then, do py main.py.

To make a shortcut, create a batch file. Put the following contents in it:

cd <path to mcfunction editor>
py main.py

pip is not recognized well if pip3 doesn't work either, search up how to add python to your environment path variable. You did not install Python with the same instructions here, fortunately it can be fixed. Same goes if any command won't work.
