Stonecutter

A text editor for creating Minecraft datapacks.

What?

Stonecutter is an all-in-one .json and .mcfunction editor. Our goal is for it to include syntax highlighting, formatting, linting and debugging for both formats. It is also built with tinkering in mind, so that you could build the environment that suits you best.

Why?

The current state of datapack development is not good. Most novice to mid-level programmers use Notepad++ which, while not bad, is very rudimentary. We aim to fix that by creating an extensible, yet user-friendly and lightweight IDE which include tools you need as a datapack creator.

Installation

To install Stonecutter, simply download the latest release package from our releases page.

Note: Stonecutter is still in very, very early development. Usage is likely to be lackluster and buggy at times.
