StewBeet mcfunction Syntax

Syntax highlighting and block decorations for mcfunction code embedded inside StewBeet write_* Python calls.

Configuration

All settings are under StewBeet.* in your settings.json:

Setting	Default	Description
`enableBlockDecorations`	`true`	Toggle block decorations on/off
`backgroundColor`	`rgba(80,40,0,0.15)`	Background fill color

`borderWidth`	`"2px"`	Border thickness

Example customization:

Features

Syntax highlighting

Triple-quoted and single-line strings passed to the following functions are highlighted as mcfunction:

Function	Content argument
`write_function(path, content, ...)`	2nd
`write_versioned_function(path, content, ...)`	2nd
`write_scheduled_function(duration, content, ...)`	2nd
`write_load_file(content, ...)`	1st
`write_unload_file(content, ...)`	1st
`write_tick_file(content, ...)`	1st

All string forms are supported: """...""", '''...''', "...", '...', and their f-string variants.
Python interpolations ({variable}) inside f-strings are parsed correctly and never mistaken for mcfunction syntax.

Block decorations

Multi-line strings are wrapped in a unified colored rectangle. Single-line strings get an inline border that starts exactly at the quote character.

Grammar

mcfunction grammar from MinecraftCommands/syntax-mcfunction, bundled via StewBeet.
