How to Make a Function in Minecraft! (Tutorial)

Where is the Function File Stored in Java Edition?

Each function belongs to a specific saved world.

When storing functions, you must first create a new folder under the datafunctions folder for the saved world. You can then store your function within this new folder. The filename for the function must have a .mcfunction extension.

For example, you could create a new folder called digminecraft for the saved world called World1. You would then store the function give_diamond.mcfunction in this new folder. Depending on your version of Minecraft, this function would be saved under one of the following hidden paths (Note: path may be different on your system):

You could then run the file called give_diamond.mcfunction with the following /function command:

As you can see, you do not need to enter the .mcfunction extension when using the /function command.

TIP #1: Make sure you are in the correct saved world. Since each function is stored under the datafunctions folder for a specific saved world, the function can only be run from within that saved world.

TIP #2: Always run the /reload command after saving or changing a function file before using the /function command.
