mcemu 0.5.3

Minecraft command emulator library

mcemu

A lightweight, programmatic, and interactive Minecraft Command Emulator designed as a standalone Python library and REPL environment. It simulates a virtual Minecraft environment, allowing you to test, debug, and execute complex command sequences and .mcfunction files without needing to launch the game!

🚀 Features

• Interactive REPL Environment: Start the engine right from your terminal and type commands in real time. Features colored syntax feedback, auto-suggestions, and deep typo detection.
• .mcfunction & Macros Support: Load and execute function files, complete with support for scheduling, ticking, and dynamic NBT macro arguments via regex substitution (e.g., /function namespace:test {a: 42} matching $(a)).
• Security Control: Includes a rigorous allow_functions engine configuration to restrict potentially malicious local file system access when evaluating untrusted text.
• Robust Entity Management: Create and manage players and entities dynamically within a simulated world, complete with inventory, nbt properties, and active effects tracking.
• Scoreboard Simulation: A fully-featured programmatic scoreboard that replicates the in-game behavior for mathematical operations and player tracking.
• Command Dispatcher: An exact replica of the Minecraft command-tree parsing structure, enabling you to powerfully chain execute subcommands seamlessly.
• Vast Command Library: Emulates over 60 native Minecraft commands directly out of the box, cleanly modularized for easy extendability.

📦 Installation

To install mcemu directly from PyPI (once published):

pip install mcemu

If you are developing locally, clone the repository and install it in editable mode with development dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/OguzhanUmutlu/mcemu.git
cd mcemu
pip install -e .[dev]

🎮 Usage

Once installed, mcemu exposes a powerful command-line interface. Simply open your terminal and type:

mcemu

Supported Commands

The emulator currently supports an extensive array of commands, grouped intuitively in the backend but accessible seamlessly:

Entities & Players: summon, kill, tp, teleport, damage, ride, spectate, xp, experience, clear, give, item, effect, enchant Data & Logic: data, execute, function, return, schedule, scoreboard, tag, attribute, advancement, recipe World Manipulation: setblock, fill, clone, time, weather, difficulty, gamerule, seed, worldborder, spawnpoint, setworldspawn Administration: op, deop, ban, pardon, ban-ip, pardon-ip, whitelist, kick, stop, save-all, save-on, save-off, reload, debug, jfr, perf, publish, stopwatch Chat & Visuals: say, tell, msg, w, me, teammsg, tellraw (with ANSI JSON Component parsing!), title, tm, bossbar, particle, playsound, stopsound, dialog, team, setidletimeout, forceload, datapack, list, transfer

Special REPL Commands

The interactive console also provides helpful emulator-specific utilities:

• entities: Prints all tracked entities, inventories, and effects.
• scores: Prints the current scoreboard dictionary.
• toggleblocks: Enables or disables actual block data storage in memory (useful for large /fill commands).
• getblock <x> <y> <z>: Returns the stored blockstate at a coordinate.
• returncode: Prints the integer return value of the last evaluated command to prevent clutter.
• reset: Completely resets the internal environment memory map.
• exit: Shuts down the emulator.

Example Interaction

mcemu> scoreboard objectives add kills dummy

mcemu> give @p minecraft:diamond_sword{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:5}]} 1

mcemu> effect give @p minecraft:speed 100 2 true

mcemu> entities
- Dev (minecraft:player) at (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) tags: set()
  inventory: {'inventory.0': {'id': 'minecraft:diamond_sword', 'count': 1, 'nbt': '{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:5}]}'}}
  effects: {'minecraft:speed': {'duration': 2000, 'amplifier': 2, 'hideParticles': True}}

mcemu> toggleblocks
Block tracking enabled.

mcemu> setblock 0 0 0 minecraft:stone
mcemu> getblock 0 0 0
Block at 0 0 0: minecraft:stone

🧪 Testing
