Command Data

From wiki.vg
Jump to navigation Jump to search

From Minecraft 1.13, the Command Graph data structure defines commands which can be used in chat or in command blocks, and how they're parsed.

Graph Structure

The graph consists of nodes of type root, literal and argument. A node may point to a number of child nodes, or redirect to another node, or neither. The root node is nameless, and its children are literal nodes for familiar commands ("msg", "me", etc).

Nodes are marked as executable if the node stack to this point constitutes a valid command. E.g. this is false for /ban but true for /ban Dinnerbone and /ban Dinnerbone created this crazy format.

When including redirects, this structure is a directed graph that may include cycles (e.g. consider /execute run execute run execute ...). When excluding redirects, the structure no longer contains cycles but may still not be a tree, as a node may have multiple parents.

Node Format

Field Name Field Type Notes
Flags Byte See below.
Children count VarInt Number of elements in the following array.
Children Array of VarInt Array of indices of child nodes.
Redirect node Optional VarInt Only if flags & 0x08. Index of redirect node.
Name Optional String (32767) Only for argument and literal nodes.
Parser ID Optional VarInt Only for argument nodes.
Properties Optional Varies Only for argument nodes. Varies by parser.
Suggestions type Optional Identifier Only if flags & 0x10.

Flags

Bit Mask Flag Name Notes
0x03 Node type 0: root, 1: literal, 2: argument. 3 is not used.
0x04 Is executable Set if the node stack to this point constitutes a valid command.
0x08 Has redirect Set if the node redirects to another node.
0x10 Has suggestions type Only present for argument nodes.

Parsers

Clients are expected to implement all parsers, including properties (if any). If an unknown parser is encountered by a client, unpacking of the Commands packet should stop immediately, as the structure of the remainder of the packet cannot be guessed.

Since 1.19, parsers are identified by their ID in the Node Format. Parsers (as well as parser IDs) are provided only for argument nodes. If properties for parser are not specified, then this parser has no properties and "Properties" section in Node Format contains no data.
