  • --mode development: Tell bridge. that you want to compile a development build
  • --compilerConfig [path]: Compile the project with a different set of plugins

Watching for changes

dash_compiler watch: Recompile files whenever you make changes to your project

  • --out [path] Set a directory to output to. Default: com.mojang folder; use --out preview to instead output to Minecraft Preview
  • --reload [port] Open a WebSocket which, once connected, runs the /reload command in Minecraft when a script or function is updated. Default port: 8080.
