Editing Lang Files

Editing .lang files

Subfunctions disregard the syntax of mcfunction files, allowing you to leverage them for editing various file types. While it might not be practical for most files in the pack, there are cases where modifying .lang files could prove beneficial.

When using subfunctions as a standalone filter, the edit_lang_files option is initially disabled. However, you can enable it to utilize subfunctions syntax within language files.

For users employing subfunctions with the System Template, the subfunctions option for .lang files is also disabled by default. You can enable it in the _map.py file within the mapping for your .lang file.

Editing .lang files does come with some limitations. Certain features tailored for .mcfunction files are disabled in this context:

• function, definefunction and schedule

• functiontree

• unpacking (UNPACK:…)

• Subfunction comments (##)

This capability provides a convenient way to apply subfunctions’ concise syntax for tasks specific to language files, enhancing your workflow in certain scenarios.
