GameTest interpreter is an add-on that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language into GameTest Framework, the new scripting engine for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

The add-on currenly allows JavaScript and TypeScript code to be executed, and is mainly for debugging code snippets in game.

JavaScript Interpreter

Currenly JavaScript is the only programming language that allow developers to use GameTest Framework APIs from within their code.

This add-on allows developers to debug JavaScript code and reports an error condition immediately in Minecraft in-game using this interpreter. This reduces the amount of script errors happened in your code development and time, and allows developers to experiment with the new features available in GameTest Framework API modules in Minecraft.

To learn more about GameTest API, please visit GameTest Documentation.

Here are some examples executing JavaScript in-game:

Example #1

This script makes the world / script engine say "running"

 

Example #2

This script shows the script has error.

To get started:

1. Type $javascript in chat to get the enchantment book
2. Use the enchantment book to open the interpreter
3. Type your javascript code in the chat
4. Press Submit button to start executing your code

TypeScript Interpreter

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds syntax for types to compile to a clean JavaScript output.

This add-on has converted TypeScript source code from a CommonJS module to a ECMAScript module to become compatible with GameTest Framework.

This interpreter has the ability to show which character in a line of code has caused an error

To get started:

1. Type $typescript in chat to get the enchantment book
2. Use the enchantment book to open the interpreter
3. Type your typescript code in the chat (This interpreter do not support javascript input)
4. Press Submit button to start the compiler
5. Wait until an error prompt pops up or a JavaScript interpreter with compiled code
6. Press Submit button again to execute your code

In the world setting, enable GameTest Framework in experimental section.

Enable GameTest Framework in new UI design

Enable GameTest Framework in old UI design

If your Minecraft version is below 1.18.30, the dialog will not appear when you type $javascript because of outdated API, you would have to start coding in chat with $ prefix.

To start coding on Minecraft versions below 1.18.30, you have to switch GameTest Framework version to below 1.18.30. For example: 

Resolution name is subject to change, always recommend using this add-on in latest stable / preview version of Minecraft.
