Shulkerscript

What Shulkerscript is

Shulkerscript is a scripting language and command-line tool for building Minecraft data packs. Its syntax resembles other programming languages and adds capabilities beyond `.mcfunction` files. A source file can produce multiple function files that Minecraft or other Shulkerscript files can call. The language supports functions, imports, tags, conditionals, execute blocks, groupings, literal commands, and embedded Lua. Functions marked with `#[tick]` can run every tick, while those marked with `#[load]` can run when a data pack loads. The CLI builds projects into a `dist` directory, watches files for changes, and can create ZIP archives. An online playground lets users try the language in a browser, and an optional official Visual Studio Code extension provides syntax highlighting and snippets. Installation guidance covers Windows, Linux, and macOS, with options including GitHub releases, cargo-binstall, or building with Rust and Cargo. The project is free and open source. The documentation labels the playground and Lua integration as works in progress. Builds generate no `.mcfunction` files unless at least one function has a `tick`, `load`, or `deobfuscate` annotation.
