(JavaScript-like Minecraft Function)

JMC (JavaScript-like Minecraft Function) is a mcfunction extension language for making Minecraft Datapack.

Code example:

Text.tellraw(@a, "everything outside the function");
say "just goes into the load function";

function myFunc() { // function
    execute as @a at @s run {
        Text.tellraw(@a, "&<green,bold> this text is green and bold");
        say "this is a function executed through execute as @a";
    }
}
function varOperations() {
    // this variable x is equal to the number of items in hand ;
    $x = data get entity @s SelectedItem.Count;
    $y = 100; // this is the second variable
    $random_int = Math.random($x, $y);
    Text.tellraw(@a, "random number from &<$x> to 100: &<$random_int>");
}
class folder {
    function funcInFolder() {
        if ($x < $y && $random_int <= 50) {
            printf("X is less than Y and random number is less than or equal to 50");
        } else if ($y > $x || $x == 69) {
            printf("X is greater than Y or X is equal to 69");
        } else {
            printf("other cases"); // "printf" is shortcut for "tellraw @a"
        }
    }
}
function folder.raycast() {
    Raycast.simple(
        onHit=()=>{
            printf("i hit some block");
        },
        onStep=()=>{
            particle happy_villager ~ ~ ~;
        }
        interval=0.5,
        maxIter=100,
        stopAtBlock=true,
    );
}
