I am going to add theses features someday, but they aren't here now.

Known bugs

• Using the particle iconcrack with mc.particle crashes the game, but using an invaild particle name is fine.
• postToClient really doesn't like it when you use \n. When posted they might also post a lot of garbage to server side chat.

Extras

Raspberry Juice compatibility

One day all of these will be supported.

• getBlocks
• getPlayerEntityId
• player/entity.getRotation
• player/entity.getPitch
• player/entity.getDirection
• events.pollChatPosts
• ChatEvent

Particles

Particles are client side and only shown if the player is within 16 blocks. Here is a particle list I found at 0x107511 in minecraft-pi

• bubble (only works in water)
• crit
• flame
• lava
• smoke
• largesmoke
• reddust
• ironcrack (crashes the game)
• snowballpoof
• explode
