Bedrock `.brarchive` files

.brarchive is a simple uncompressed text archive format Bedrock decided to invent for some reason. It stores the contents of a single directory.

The binary format of the file is as follows:

Header

The file begins with a 16-byte header containing metadata.

8 bytes: Magic number. Always equals 7d2725b1a0527026.
4 bytes: Little-endian integer. Number of entries in the archive.

Requirements

Selector arguments can optionally have two requirements: requiring only players, and requiring only a single target. Here are some examples of arguments of each type:

Only players: /give <targets>
Only a single target: /damage <target>
Only a single player: /xp query <targets>
Any number of any entities: /kill <targets>

As is well-known, each selector type has default "implicit" arguments. All behavior below will be described in terms of these arguments, not the base selectors themselves.

@p, @a, and @r have an implicit type=player, and will fail to parse if given a different type.

The following characters have special behavior in Minecraft, and care should be taken when retexturing them in a custom font:

Unusable

\u0000: NULL �
- This character cannot be included in a bitmap font, since it's used as a placeholder to skip certain cells of the texture grid.
\u000a: LINE FEED ⏎
- This character can be retextured and appear in text that does not support multiple lines. In chat, it will be invisible and cause a line break.
\u0025: PERCENT SIGN %
- This character is used for text insertions when using translate and with, so it could be unexpectedly replaced if used unintentionally.
\u00a7: SECTION SIGN §

Syntax Errors

hasitem={location=slot.weapon.mainhand}
hasitem={location=slot.weapon.mainhand,quantity=0}

Doesn't work: item must be specified

Air Item

hasitem={location=slot.weapon.mainhand,item=air}
hasitem={location=slot.weapon.mainhand,item=air,quantity=1..}

Doesn't work: doesn't find player with empty hand or with filled hand

Appearance

Idles

Sora has an idle animation of looking left, then right, then left again. This is straight out of his Kingdom Hearts 1 idle combat loop, and returns in Kingdom Hearts 2. He has a bit better posture in Smash Bros., but it's nice to see the return of this animation.

Another idle animation has Sora spin the keyblade in his off-hand, which is somewhat reminiscent of the Wisdom Form idle keyblade spin.

Another idle animation has Sora twirling the keyblade in front of himself. It resembles the beginning of the Tinker Bell summon animation from Kingdom Hearts 1.

All in all, pretty good idle animations! I most appreciate the first one.

Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5

⚠️ Any NBT tag type other than short for an item's enchantment level crashes Minecraft. Therefore, no enchantment can have a level above 32767 or below -32768.

Enchantment	Formula	Effective Range
Protection Fire Protection Feather Falling Blast Protection Projectile Protection	Start a running total. For each enchant, add `(level² + 6) / 2` if the enchant protects against the taken damage. For feather falling, add twice. Cap the total at 25. Add one, then divide by two. Now add a random number between 0 and the total. Cap the new total at 20. If the total is one or greater, set the new incoming damage equal to `(damage * (25 - total)) / 25`. Since the level gets squared, negative levels behave as their absolute value.	0 to 7 Lower levels are identical to their absolute value Higher levels are identical to 7
Respiration	Take the first respiration

Bedrock `.mcstructure` files

Saving and Loading

mcstructure files are created by the Export button in a structure block. To load them in game with a load structure block, the files must be placed in a behavior pack. The path determines the structure identifier, which is typed into the structure block to load the structure.

Examples:

`sound_definitions.json`

There are two different ways to format this file:

All the sound event keys in the root
Sound event keys in an object called sound_definitions, with an additional key format_version set to 1.14.0

You should always use the latter, as using the former prevents fields like pitch from working.

You can reference sounds in OGG or FSB format. FSB sounds do not fade properly with distance, so prefer OGG unless the sound is intended to be global like music.
