studio.mcbcode

developer ide for all things minecraft

what is this?

a developer ide for addon creators: professional, direct, and useful for both local packs and mcbCode cloud projects.

how to use?

go to studio.mcbcode and click the download icon on the right side of the url bar, or use the in-browser version.

navigation and files

• quick open (ctrl/cmd+p) searches files in the active project and open editor tabs.
• command palette (ctrl/cmd+shift+p) runs editor, navigation, and view commands.
• the Explorer shows the active project's real file tree, or the tabs that are actually open. it shows no files when there is no project or open tab.
• open file → open .mcpack / .mcaddon imports a temporary local workspace. imports stay in the browser and are not uploaded to mcbCode. PNG/TGA images and supported audio formats have read-only previews.

search and Bedrock authoring

• workspace search checks open buffers and project paths. choose Search all project files to explicitly scan text-file contents, including unopened cloud files. scans are bounded to 300 files, 2 mb per file, and 32 mb total; unavailable and oversized files are reported. regular expressions are length-limited and reject common nested-repetition patterns for search safety.
• project-wide replace is review-first. inspect the preview, then apply it. cloud changes are saved only after choosing Apply replacements; imported-pack edits remain in the browser until the pack is exported.
• JSON editors offer conservative Bedrock key/value hints with ctrl/cmd+space and manifest structure diagnostics. these are guidance, not a complete versioned schema or Minecraft runtime test. identifiers are suggested from open buffers and may be incomplete.
• view → preview geometry renders supported minecraft:geometry cubes as a live isometric preview. cube rotations, textures, and animations are not rendered yet.
• Preferences → Bedrock authoring profile stores a target Minecraft version and optional experiment notes per workspace in this browser. profile values do not modify pack files or replace testing in game.

editor find (edit → find) searches only the active file; workspace search covers files and paths in the project.

source layout

the page shell is index.html; additive interface styles live in css/studio.css. JavaScript is split by feature under js/: command-palette.js handles quick open and commands, project-search.js handles explicit project-content scans and reviewed replacement, bedrock-intelligence.js provides editor hints, geometry-preview.js renders basic geometry, studio-workbench.js contains workspace search and editor preferences, and local-files.js handles archive import and export. cloud-projects.js handles project browsing and cloud file access.
