Function (Java Edition)

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

Functions allow players to run lists of commands using text files with the extension .mcfunction. It is recommended to use UTF-8 encoding (without BOM) for function files to prevent any problems. This page covers how to use functions in Java Edition.

Usage

To utilize functions, the text files must first be placed into a top-level folder within [WORLD_NAME]/datapacks/[DATA_PACK_NAME]/data/[NAMESPACE]/functions. The name of the new top-level folder will be the namespace used when running the functions inside. Functions can also be placed into subfolders within the top-level folder.

For example, running the function custom:example/test will refer to the file located at data/custom/functions/example/test.mcfunction. If the namespace is left out when trying to call a function, it will default to the minecraft: namespace. Using a custom namespace is recommended in order to prevent unintended behavior in the case of future additions to the default namespace.

Functions, being text files, are easily modifiable and less likely than command blocks to induce lag when used in large quantities. If a function is modified or added, using the /reload command will reload the function files from disk. This allows Minecraft to recognize any changes to the function files, without the need to quit and re-enter the world.

Upon successfully running a function, a message will display in the chat: Executed [amount] command(s) from function '[function file directory]'. The successful output of the commands inside a function cannot be measured with a comparator (although the same effect could be accomplished with the use of /stats and /scoreboard commands).

Function syntax

Testing the function system. Three /tellraw messages and one /give command were used in this simple function.

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 #.

Individual commands in functions can be longer than the 32,500 character limit in command blocks but the total number of commands run inside a function will still obey /gamerule maxCommandChainLength, which is 65,536 commands by default; any commands beyond this limit will be ignored.

Running a function

Functions will run all of their commands in a single tick and functions called from within other functions will also run their commands in the same tick as their parent. Functions will use the command environment of whatever called the function. This includes command sender, position, rotation, etc.

Changes to the command environment that happen within a function will not affect the command environment used by the other commands within that same function (or within its child functions) until the next iteration, regardless of the order of commands. The /execute command is an exception and will update the command environment.

For example:

execute as @a at @s run function foo:bar

foo:bar

teleport @s ~ ~5 ~
setblock ~ ~-1 ~ emerald_block
execute at @s run setblock ~ ~-1 ~ diamond_block

When called through a player this function will teleport that player 5 blocks up, place an emerald block one block below their original position before the teleport, and place a diamond block one block below their new position after the teleport. This behavior does not affect target selector arguments.

There are several methods of running a function file in-game:

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.
• The optional arguments if and unless will make the function only run when the selector was found or not found in the world respectively.
• Usage: /function <name>

Advancements

Advancements can run a function once as a reward for completing them. The commands in the function are run through the player who completed the advancement.

Reward functions are called within advancement JSON files using the following format:

{
    "rewards": {
        "function": "namespace:path/to/function/file"
    }
}

Tags

Functions can be grouped together using tags in data packs. These tags can then be called to run all the functions inside that tag with /function #(namespace):tag.

Functions tagged in minecraft:tick will automatically run every tick at the beginning of the tick. Functions tagged in minecraft:load will run after (re)loading the datapack.

Bookshelves also naturally generate in certain [[woodland mansion]] rooms. === Breaking === Bookshelves can be broken fairly easily by hand, but can be broken faster by using an [[axe]]. In either case, they drop 3 books when broken, allowing the reconstruction of the bookshelf with the addition of six wood planks.

It can also be placed on some transparent blocks; see [[Opacity/Placement]] for more information. It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands, which is not unintentional.<ref>{{bug|MC-182709}}</ref> Redstone wire configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone [[Redstone components#Power components|power components]] and [[Redstone components#Transmission components|transmission component]] connection points. Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a solid opaque block above the lower redstone wire. If there is only one such adjacent redstone component, redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}} line pointing both at the neighbor and away from it. If there are two or more such adjacent components, redstone wire connects them in the form of {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-upleft}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-t-up}}, or {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} as needed. When there are no adjacent components, a single redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} plus sign, which can provide power in all four directions. By right-clicking it can be changed into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-dot}} dot, which does not provide power to any of the four directions. {{IN|bedrock}}, redstone wire automatically configures itself to point toward adjacent blocks or [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]]. {{IN|java}}, it does not. If such a configuration is desired, the other neighbors of the redstone wire must be arranged to create it, i.e the redstone dust must be placed in a way that it would be pointed at the block’s location even if it were not there. When redstone wire is reconfigured after placement, it does not update other redstone components around it of the change unless that reconfiguration also includes a change in power level or another component provides an update. This can create situations where a mechanism component remains activated when it shouldn't, or vice versa, until it receives an update from something else – a "feature" of redstone wire that can be used to make a [[BUD|block update detector]]. {{-}} === Behavior === {{Schematic|caption= {{IN|be}}, the signal can go down from glass blocks. |||rd-$ew!|RL-!||||rd-$ew!|RL-!|- |rt-$!|rd-$ew!|SB|||rt-$!|rd-$ew!|glass||- |ts-$|SB|rd-$ew|RL||ts-$|SB|rd-$ew!|RL-! }}{{Schematic|caption = However, the signal can never go down from slabs. |||rd-$ew!|RL-!||||rd-$ew!|RL-!|- |rt-$!|rd-$ew!|SB|||rt-$!|rd-$ew!|glass||- |ts-$|ts-$|rd-$ew|RL||ts-$|ts-$|rd-$ew|RL }} Redstone wire can transmit power, which can be used to operate [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]] ([[door]]s, [[piston]]s, [[redstone lamp]]s, etc.). Redstone wire can be "powered" by a number of methods: * from an adjacent [[Redstone components#Power components|power component]] or a strongly-powered block * from the output of a redstone repeater or redstone comparator * from adjacent redstone wire. The powering dust can be a level higher or lower, but with restrictions: ** Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on an [[opaque]] block one level higher. A transparent block cannot{{only|java}} pass power downward. ** The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or transparent. A solid block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust. The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few ([[daylight sensor]]s, [[trapped chest]]s, and [[weighted pressure plate]]s) may create a lower power level. Redstone repeaters output power level 15 (when turned on), but [[redstone comparator]]s may output a lower power level. {{Schematic | caption = Redstone wire can transmit power up to 15 blocks. |rt-$!|rd-$ew!+15|rd-$ew!+14|rd-$ew!+13|rd-$ew!+12|rd-$ew!+11|rd-$ew!+10|rd-$ew!+9 |rd-$ew!+8|rd-$ew!+7|rd-$ew!+6|rd-$ew!+5|rd-$ew!+4|rd-$ew!+3|rd-$ew!+2|rd-$ew!+1|rd-$ew+0 }} Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened – typically with a redstone repeater. Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, an opaque block provides ''weak'' power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components. Transparent blocks cannot be powered. When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power. Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" [[particles]] of the same color. While redstone wire always provides power to the directions it points into, it can still point into directions in which it cannot give power. If redstone wire comes in the form of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Block/Normal}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Redstone Dust |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Block |spritename=redstone-dust |spritetype=block |nameid=redstone_wire |form=block}} {{ID table |displayname=Item |spritename=redstone-dust |spritetype=item |nameid=redstone |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Redstone Dust |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Block |spritename=redstone-dust |spritetype=block |nameid=redstone_wire |id=55 |form=block}} {{ID table |displayname=Item |spritename=redstone-dust |spritetype=item |nameid=redstone |id=373 |form=item |foot=1}} === Block states === {{see also|Block states}} {{/BS}} {{LoadPage|Redstone Dust/Asset history|List of block state combinations|h4}} == Achievements == {{load achievements|Dispense With This}} == Video == {{Video note|These videos do not show all uses for redstone in crafting and all methods of obtaining.
