Type the function and, on Java 1.20.2+, the arguments its $ macro lines read. The preview shows the function file and where it lives in the pack.

How it works

A function is a .mcfunction file of commands that run in order, in one tick.

Java 1.20.2 and later: macro arguments

function my_pack:give_kit {item:"diamond_sword",count:1}
function my_pack:give_kit with storage my_pack:settings
function my_pack:give_kit with entity @s SelectedItem

Lines starting with $ in the function get $(item) replaced with the argument.

Java 1.13 – 1.20.1

function my_pack:start
function #my_pack:load

Function tags (#) run every function in the tag. Java 1.12 has functions but no tags.

Bedrock

function my_pack/start

The path inside the behaviour pack's functions/ folder — no namespace, tags or arguments.

FAQ

Where do I put a function file?

Java: data/<namespace>/function/<path>.mcfunction in a data pack (functions/ before 1.21). Bedrock: functions/<path>.mcfunction in a behaviour pack.

What are macro functions?

From Java 1.20.2 a function line starting with $ can use $(name); you pass the values inline as a compound or with storage / entity / block data.

Why does my function say 'Unknown function'?

The pack isn't loaded, the path is wrong, or a command in the file has an error (Java skips the whole function). Run /reload and check the log.

Can a function tag take arguments?

No — only a single function takes macro arguments.

Do Bedrock functions use namespaces?

No. Write the folder path, like my_pack/start for functions/my_pack/start.mcfunction.
