Insert Molang File [Minecraft Bedrock] 2.4.0.
Description
This extension lets you use '.molang' files when working on larger scripts and easily insert them as a single-line string into Minecraft Bedrock addon files.
Usage
To use this extension, simply right click (you can also use command pallete) on any string within an addon file, a menu will pop up and you can select whichever file from the molang folder you want to insert. It doesn't matter if the string is empty or not, it will simply replace it completely.
If working in resource pack file it will only look into resource pack's molang folder and so with behavior packs.
When it inserts the MoLang file's code, it removes any newlines or returns and comments, so you don't have to worry about json errors!
Comments are supported within MoLang files like so: single-line comments using //<comment> or #<comment> and multi-line comments using /*<comment>*/. They will be ignored and won't be inserted.
!Attention!
Molang files in subfolders aren't supported, refer only to files in root folders!
molang folder is case-sensitive, make sure it's all lower-case letters!
The extension looks for the addon root path by finding the directory closest to the root of the file system, that contains a folder with addon keyword name like features or entities. Make sure addon folder keyword names don't exist anywhere in the addon root path, only inside the addon!
Example of this problem: C:\Minecraft\Development\biomes\My addon\features\test.json
- In this case the extension will think your addon is located at
C:\Minecraft\Development\even if you intent to have it atC:\Minecraft\Development\biomes\My addon\. A simple fix for this is to replace thebiomesfolder with something else likeCustom Biomes, which isn't a keyword name.
Addon folder keyword names: subpacks,features,biomes,feature_rules,entities,entity,blocks,items,animations,animation_controllers,attachables,particles,render_controllers
