Function Calls

MCB Supports a few non standards call systems for functions, function calls can be made using a relative path, a hiarchical reference and an absolute function reference as well as normally with a literal function reference.

The hiarchical function reference starts with ^ and takes a number of steps up from the current function in which its used.

function ^<integer>

Example

Code

function dummy {
    block {
        function ^1
        function ^0
    }
}

my_pack:zzz/0.mcfunction

function my_pack:dummy
function my_pack:zzz/0

The root function reference starts with * and will make a reference from current namespace with the given path.

function *<path>

Example

Code

dir folder {
    function dummy {
        function *dummy2
    }
}
function dummy2 {
    say Hello, world!
}

folder/dummy.mcfunction

function my_pack:dummy2

The relative function reference starts with either ./ or ../ and can be used to call a function relative to the call location. Similar to how file paths work in a file system.

function ./<path>
function ../<path>

Example

Code

dir folder {
    function dummy {
        function ./dummy2
        function ../dummy3
    }
    function dummy2 {
        say Hello, world!
    }
}
function dummy3 {
    say Hello, world!
}

folder/dummy.mcfunction

function my_pack:folder/dummy2
function my_pack:dummy3

The final way of calling a function is as normal using using an absolute function call.

function <path>

Example

Code

dir folder {
    function dummy {
        function my_pack:folder/dummy2
    }
    function dummy2 {
        say Hello, world!
    }
}

folder/dummy.mcfunction

function my_pack:folder/dummy2
