Function (Bedrock Edition)

This article is about functions in Bedrock Edition. For functions in Java Edition, see Function (Java Edition). For the command, see Commands/function.

Functions allow players to run lists of commands using text files with the extension .mcfunction. This page covers how to use functions in Bedrock Edition.

Usage

Text files must be placed into a top-level folder named "functions" within a behavior pack: [behavior_pack]/functions

Subfolders and namespacing

Subfolders can be added to this folder to serve as namespaces.

For example: running the function sub/foo will run the file located at [behavior_pack]/functions/sub/foo.mcfunction.

/reload

Note: Currently /reload will only reload functions that already exist at the time the game is launched, meaning changes can be made to existing functions but will need to restart the game for newly added functions. This will change in future updates of Minecraft.

Success results:

Upon successfully running a function, a message will display in chat: "Executed [amount] Command(s) from function [function file directory]." In version 1.12.0 this is "Successfully executed [amount] function entries."

Function syntax

Within the .mcfunction file, one valid command is placed per line, without the usual forward slash /. Players can add comments within the function text file by preceding them with a #.

min_engine_version

Functions require a minimum engine version specified in the pack manifest.json file.

This field determines which version of a command to run. The number specified here should match the version number of the game. For example, lets say that /fill was changed in 1.9.0. If your behavior pack has "min_engine_version": [1, 8, 0] and runs a function that contains /fill, it will run the older version of fill (as if the version was still 1.8.0).

Manifest example

{
    "format_version": 1,
    "header": {
        "description": "Function worldedit",
        "name": "Function worldedit",
        "uuid": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111",
        "version": [1, 8, 1],
        "min_engine_version": [1, 8, 0]
    },
    "modules": [
        {
            "description": "",
            "type": "data",
            "uuid": "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222",
            "version": [1, 8, 1]
        }
    ]
}

Simple function example

test.mcfunction

title @p title Test
setblock ~ ~2 ~ diamond_ore
say Test
#this is a comment

More complex function example

BuildHut.mcfunction - this function builds a basic stone and wood house around you. Note that because the function runs commands in order, that the glass windows and wooden door will replace the stone walls created by the first command.

fill ~-2 ~-1 ~-2 ~2 ~2 ~2 stonebrick 0 hollow
fill ~-2 ~-1 ~-2 ~2 ~-1 ~2 planks
fill ~ ~ ~2 ~ ~ ~2 wooden_door 1
fill ~-2 ~1 ~ ~-2 ~1 ~ glass
fill ~2 ~1 ~ ~2 ~1 ~ glass
fill ~ ~1 ~-2 ~ ~1 ~-2 glass

Running a function

Functions will attempt to run all commands within a single tick, including the commands of nested functions called within another function.

Limits

A single function call will only run up to 10,000 commands (including calls to other functions, i.e. recursion).

Running /function HelloWorld from above will output:

• Chat output: [your name]: hello
• Fill the block above your head with a gold_block
• Chat output: [your name]: world

Commands

/function

• Allows players to run a function once
• The commands in the function are run through the entity or command block that ran the /function command.
• Usage: /function <path/to/function/file>

Naturally-occurring emeralds are rarer than [[diamond]]s. == Obtaining == === Trading (how emerald is renewable) === {{main|Trading}} Emeralds can be obtained by trading with [[villager]]s, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers either buy or sell specific goods for emeralds. Some villagers trade stuff that is renewable with emerald. === Mining === [[Emerald ore]] drops one emerald when mined using an iron or better [[pickaxe]]. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself in ore form instead of an emerald. === Crafting === {{Crafting |Block of Emerald |Output= Emerald,9 |type= Material }} === Smelting === {{Smelting |Emerald Ore; Deepslate Emerald Ore |Emerald |1 }} === Natural generation === {{see also|Emerald Ore#Natural generation}} Emeralds can generate in [[chest]]s in some [[village]] houses or other generated [[Generated structures|structures]]. {{needs update|inaccurate=1|section=1}} {{LootChestItem|emerald}} === Drops === [[Vindicator]]s and [[evoker]]s drop 0–1 emeralds upon death. [[Looting]] increases the maximum emerald drop by one per level, for a maximum of 4 emeralds with Looting III. [[Fox]]es that are holding emeralds also have a chance of 100% to drop the emerald they are holding upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item to entice the fox to drop the emerald without killing it. {{IN|bedrock}}, vindicators and [[pillager]]s spawned from [[raids]] can drop 0–1 emeralds. Depending on difficulty, vindicators and pillagers spawned from raids also have a chance of dropping additional emeralds. There is a 65% chance of dropping on easy and normal, and an 80% chance of dropping on hard. If this additional drop condition is met, different emerald counts can drop with different chances. There is a {{frac|10|39}} chance to drop an additional 0–1 emeralds, a {{frac|5|39}} chance to drop an additional 2–3, and a {{frac|2|39}} chance to drop an additional 4–5. {{IN|bedrock}}, with Looting III, it is possible for a vindicator in a raid to drop up to 16 emeralds upon death (vindicator drops + raid drops + an additional drop<!-- emerald from 2/39 chance-->). == Usage == === Trading === {{main|Trading}} Emeralds are primarily used as currency for [[trading]] with villagers and wandering traders. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage}} ===Beacons=== Emeralds can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers and then insert an emerald into the item slot. An emerald can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]], a [[gold ingot]], a [[diamond]] or a [[netherite ingot]] in a beacon. === Smithing ingredient === {{Smithing |head=1 |ingredients=Any Armor Trim +<br/>Any Armor Piece + <br/>Emerald |Any Armor Trim Smithing Template |Netherite Chestplate |Emerald |Emerald Trim Netherite Chestplate |showdescription=1 |description = All armor types can be used in this recipe,<br/>a netherite chestplate is shown as an example. |tail=1 }} ;Trim color palette The following color palette is shown on the designs on trimmed armor: *{{TrimPalette|emerald}} == Achievements == {{load achievements|The Haggler;Buy Low;Master Trader}} == Advancements == {{load advancements|What a Deal!}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showitemtags=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Emerald |spritetype=item |nameid=emerald |itemtags=beacon_payment_items |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Emerald |spritetype=item |nameid=emerald |id=512 |form=item |foot=1}} == History == {{History|java indev}} {{History||0.31|snap=20100129|Added [[diamond]]s, referred to as emeralds in the code.}} {{History|java}} {{History||May 21, 2012|link={{tweet|jeb_|204619936616808451}}|[[File:Ruby pJE20120521.png|32px]] [[Jens Bergensten|Jeb]] released a screenshot of himself testing the [[trading]] system.

A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s. == Obtaining == === Breaking === Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}} A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref> If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation. === Natural generation === An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair. === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}} === Crafting === [[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs. {{Crafting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |nolink=1 |A1= Matching Planks |B1= Matching Planks |C1= Matching Planks |A2= Matching Planks |B2= Matching Planks |C2= Matching Planks |B3= Stick |Output=Matching Sign,3 |type=Decoration block }} {{Crafting |name= Hanging Sign |A1= Chain |C1= Chain |A2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |B2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |C2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |A3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |B3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |C3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |Output= Matching Hanging Sign,6; Bamboo Hanging Sign,6 |type=Decoration block |foot=1 }} == Usage == Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids. === Placement === ==== Signs ==== Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign. Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign. Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother. For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]]. ==== Hanging signs ==== Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways: * Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions. * Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block. ** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions. ** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions. === Text === [[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]] Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters. Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front. Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited. After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}} [[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]] A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+ class="nowrap" | Glow ink colors !Name !! Main Color !!

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this. {{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks. {{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs. : Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}} Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command. === Interaction === Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}. Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}} Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}). === Fuel === Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign. === Note Blocks === Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds. == Sounds == === Generic === ====
