Bedrock Edition beta MoLang documentation

This is the MoLang documentation for Bedrock Edition beta 1.13.0.4. New features, components, and capabilities in this release are not final and might change without notice before the final release (1.13.0). Be sure to check the documentation once the release is out of beta if the add-on isn't working properly. Resource and behavior packs created for the beta are not guaranteed to work on the final release.

Why does MoLang exist?
MoLang is a simple expression-based language designed for fast calculation of values at run-time. Its focus is solely to enable script-like capabilities in high-performance systems where JavaScript is not performant at scale. We need scripting capabilities in these low-level systems to support end-user modding capabilities, custom entities, rendering, and animation.

Lexical structure
The language structure is largely based on simple C-style syntax, focusing on handling math expressions. A script is made of either one expression for simple cases, or can be made of several where intermediate values are required or to help reduce compute time.

In all cases, the value of the last expression in a script provides the script's value. In a multi-expression script, all but the last expression must assign a value to a variable. The last expression can as well, but doesn't need to as its value is assumed to be the used as the return value.

Values

 * Value types are concretely specified, or numeric if not.
 * All numerical values are floats.
 * Boolean values such as actor flags are converted to a float value of either 0.0 or 1.0 for values of false or true respectively.
 * For boolean tests, a float value equivalent to 0.0 is false, and anything not equal to 0.0 is true.
 * For array indices, floats are c-style cast to ints, and clamped at zero for negative values or wrapped by the array size for large values.
 * Other supported types are textures, materials, and geometry where they make sense (such as to render controllers).
 * Errors generally return a value of 0.0.

Variables
There are several domains a variable may belong to:

Types, values, and variables
In general, all expression values are floats. In render controllers, some expressions result in a texture or material depending on the context. All array index expressions are processed as floats, and cast to integers when performing the final lookup into the array. Positive array indices wrap by the size of the array. Negative array indices clamp to 0.

Simple vs complex expressions
A simple expression is a single statement, the value of which is returned to the system that evaluated the expression. e.g.:

A complex expression is one with multiple statements, each ending in a ';'. Each statement is evaluated in order. In the current implementation, the last statement requires the use of the return keyword and defines the resulting value of the expression. e.g.:

temp.my_temp_var = Math.sin(query.anim_time * 1.23); temp.my_other_temp_var = Math.cos(query.life_time + 2.0); return temp.my_temp_var * temp.my_temp_var + temp.my_other_temp_var;

Note that in a simple expression, ';' is not allowed, whereas, in a complex expression, each statement requires a ';' including the last.

Entity definition scripts
In the definition file, there is a section for pre-computing values. These are executed immediately before animation and render controllers are processed and stored in the entity. The purpose is to pre-compute any expensive and complex values you may want to reuse in your scripts, long-living index variable updates, or generally any one-off computation per render tick.

"scripts": { "pre_animation": [ "variable.my_constant = (Math.cos(query.modified_distance_moved * 38.17) * query.modified_move_speed;",     "variable.my_constant2 = Math.exp(1.5);",    ]  },

Animation and animation controller files
These are always numerical operations to control which animations are playing and how to animate bones. "variable.variable_name" and "query.function_name" refers to the entity currently being rendered. They have access to everything in the language except material, texture, and geometry types.

Render controllers
There are a few different kinds of expressions here, where context implies what is allowed. As with animations, the entity accessors refer to the current entity, however depending on the context one also has access to materials, textures, and geometries. There are two sections in a render controller:
 * Array definitions (optional)
 * Resource usage (required) The array definition section allows you to create arrays of resources by resource type if you so desire. These can then be referenced in the resource usage section.

Array expressions
For each of the three resource types (materials, textures, and geometry), you can define an array of resources. The name of the resource is the nice-name from the definition file. Using materials as an example:

"arrays": { "materials": { "array.my_array_1": ["material.a", "material.b", "material.c"], "array.my_array_2" : ["material.d", "material.e"], "array.my_array_3" : ["array.my_array_1", "material.my_array_2"], "array.my_array_4" : ["array.my_array_2", "material.my_array_3"], "array.my_array_5" : ["array.my_array_1", "material.my_array_1", "material.my_array_4"], "array.my_array_6" : ["array.my_array_1", "material.f"], ... },

Note that all elements of an array must be of the same type. e.g.: a texture array must contain only textures.

An array can reference any combination of zero or more arrays (including duplicates if desired) and/or zero or more materials (again, including duplicates if you like), and you can have as many arrays as you like, each with as many elements as you like. If an array includes arrays in its members, they do not need to be the same length. When indexing into an array in the resource usage section, you use numerical expressions. If the resulting number is negative, it uses zero as the index. Any non-negative index is converted to an integer, and wraps based on the size of the array:

index = max(0, expression_result) % array_size

Resource Expression
A resource expression must return a single resource of a specific type depending on the context. For example, in the "geometry" section, you must produce an expression that results in a single geometry. Some examples:


 * Always use a specific geometry

"geometry": "geometry.my_geo"


 * Cycle through an array of geometries at a rate of one per second

"geometry": "array.my_geometries[query.anim_time]"


 * Pick a geo-based on an entity flag

"geometry": "query.is_sheared ? geometry.sheared : geometry.woolly"


 * Use specific geo when sleeping, otherwise flip through an array based on a cosine curve, using index zero for almost half the time while the cosine curve is negative

"geometry": "query.is_sleeping ? geometry.my_sleeping_geo : array.my_geos[math.cos(query.anim_time * 12.3 + 41.9) * 10 + 0.6]"

Resource sections

 * Geometry

The geometry section specifies which geometry to use when rendering. As you can specify as many render controllers as you like in the definition file, a single render controller is concerned only with how to render a single geometry. Note that a geometry can be arbitrarily complex using any number of bones and polygons.


 * Materials

The materials section specifies how to map what material to what bone of the geometry. A single material is mapped to a whole bone. Material expressions are evaluated in the order listed. The first part of each statement is the name of the model part to apply the material to, and the second part is the material to use. The model part name can use * for wild - card matching of characters. For example:

"materials": [ { "*": "Material.default" }, { "TailA": "array.hair_colors[variable.hair_color]" }, { "Mane": "array.hair_colors[variable.hair_color]" }, { "*Saddle*": "variable.is_leather_saddle ? material.leather_saddle : material.iron_saddle" } ],


 * This starts by applying Material.default to all model parts.
 * Next, it sets the material on a model part named "TailA" to the result of the expression "Array.hairColors[variable.hair_color]". This looks up some previously created variable on the entity named hair_color and uses that to index into a material array called "array.hair_colors" defined in this render controller. This overwrites the Material.default material set in the line above.
 * Third, it looks up the same material as the expression is identical, and applies it to the "Mane" model part.
 * Lastly, it finds any model part starting with, ending with, or containing "Saddle" (case sensitive) and changes its material to either material.leather_saddle or material.iron_saddle depending on the previously set entity variable variable.is_leather_saddle.

Query functions
Query Functions are boolean expressions that allow you to query for values owned by the engine under different circumstances. They can be used in MoLang expressions. Useful for controlling things like changing positions, textures, animations, etc. if a mob is a baby. For example:

"position": [ 0.0, "query.is_baby ? -8.0 : 0.0", "query.is_baby ? 4.0 : 0.0" ]
