What Minecraft Datapack Compiler is

Minecraft Datapack Compiler turns projects written in the `.planet` language into Minecraft datapacks. Its language supports variables, functions, imports, conditionals, while loops, Minecraft commands, and macros. Built-in helpers cover printing, random values, type conversion, scoreboard access, and data access or modification. You can set an input file, Minecraft version, output folder, namespace, logging level, or help page through CLI arguments. The precompiled Windows executable supports both GUI and CLI use; launching the GUI from source is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The project is free to use with proper credit, and its repository identifies an MIT license. Release notes list support additions for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 26.1, and 26.1.1. Note that the bundled basic datapack does not work on Minecraft 1.21.5 or later. Comet Highlighter is a VS Code extension for `.planet` syntax highlighting, but it does not provide autocomplete. The README points to a tutorial video that is currently unavailable.

Who it suits
