What Blockception Minecraft Bedrock Development is
Blockception Minecraft Bedrock Development is a free extension for creating Minecraft Bedrock Addons and Minecraft Education Edition content. It supports .mcfunction, .json, .lang, and .molang files, with tools suited to each format. JSON features include validation, completions, hovers, signatures, code lens, code actions, and schemas. For .mcfunction files, it offers completion, formatting, diagnostics, navigation to definitions, regions, symbols, syntax highlighting, and validation files. The .lang tools include formatting, diagnostics, regions, symbols, and syntax highlighting. The extension can read .mcattributes, .mcdefinitions, and .mcignore project files. A setting adds Education Edition items, blocks, entities, and commands to suggestions and debugging. Other settings can toggle diagnostics and selected completion options. During debugging, inline values can show variable lookups for mcfunction and Molang files; this is off by default. The extension is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its earlier repository was archived on September 28, 2025, and points to Minecraft Bedrock Language Server as its successor. The project is licensed under BSD 3-Clause.
