# Insert MoLang File \[Minecraft Bedrock\]

Very simple extension to make development on Minecraft: Bedrock a little more easier, it gives you options to insert `.molang` files into `.json` files without a problem.

## Usage

To use this extension, simply right click (you can also use command pallete) on any string within an addon file, a menu will pop up and you can select whichever file from the `molang` folder you want to insert. It doesn't matter if the string is empty or not, it will simply replace it completely.

If working in resource pack file it will only look into resource pack's `molang` folder and so with behavior packs.  

When it inserts the MoLang file's code, it removes any newlines or returns and comments, so you don't have to worry about json errors!  

Comments are supported within MoLang files like so: single-line comments using `//` or `#` and multi-line comments using `/**/`. They will be ignored and won't be inserted.

### !Attention!

Molang files in subfolders aren't supported, refer only to files in root folders!

`molang` folder is case-sensitive, make sure it's all lower-case letters!

The extension looks for the addon root path by finding the directory closest to the root of the file system, that contains a folder with addon keyword name like `features` or `entities`. Make sure addon folder keyword names don't exist anywhere in the addon root path, only inside the addon!

Example of this problem: `C:\Minecraft\Development\biomes\My addon\features\test.json`

- In this case the extension will think your addon is located at `C:\Minecraft\Development\` even if you intent to have it at `C:\Minecraft\Development\biomes\My addon\`. A simple fix for this is to replace the `biomes` folder with something else like `Custom Biomes`, which isn't a keyword name.

Addon folder keyword names: `subpacks,features,biomes,feature_rules,entities,entity,blocks,items,animations,animation_controllers,attachables,particles,render_controllers`

This extension does not have any dependencies.

## Settings

- `molang-insert.fileSorting`: set how files will be sorted in the menu
