Blockception Minecraft Bedrock Development
What it is
Blockception Minecraft Bedrock Development is a free extension for developing Minecraft Bedrock Addons and Minecraft Education Edition content. It supports .mcfunction, .json, .lang, and .molang files, with tools tailored to each format. JSON capabilities include validation, completions, hovers, signatures, code lens, code actions, and schemas. For .mcfunction, it provides completion, formatting, diagnostics, navigation to definitions, regions, symbols, syntax highlighting, and validation files; .lang tools include formatting, diagnostics, regions, symbols, and syntax highlighting. The extension can read .mcattributes, .mcdefinitions, and .mcignore project files. A setting adds Education Edition items, blocks, entities, and commands to suggestions and debugging. Other settings let users toggle diagnostics and selected completion options. During debugging, inline values can show variable lookups for mcfunction and Molang files, but this is off by default. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux as an extension. The earlier extension repository was archived on September 28, 2025, and points to Minecraft Bedrock Language Server as its successor. The project is licensed under BSD 3-Clause.
