Hello everyone! Today, I bring to you my simple, yet very useful, user-made coding language for Notepad++ based on Minecraft commands. It highlights most Minecraft-related tags, as well as all commands, block ids, sounds, entities, etc. Here's it in action:
Now, it also includes an auto-completion file! What that means is that, when writing your commands, you don't need to try and remember the id of that block, or how to spell an entity's name, or what the name of a certain command is: by typing in the first letters, it'll show a list of names to complete your words!
If I missed anything, should add something else or if you have any idea related to this, let me know, and I'll happily reply (and probably execute your request).
(Note: for being on Dropbox, every occasional update holds the same link, so all you need to do is redownload on the same link)
How to install a user-made language:
First, once you have Notepad++ open, go to [Language], then [Define your language...].
Next, on the pop-up menu that will, well, pop up, look for the [Import] button.
Browse into the folder where you saved the .xml file, then double click the file. If you selected the right file, this should appear:
That's it! Now you'll need to restart Notepad++ for it to show up. Once you've closed and re-opened it, the custom language should show up in the [Language] tab already.
If it is there, just click it and have fun building amazing overcomplicated contraptions!!!
How to uninstall/reinstall a user-made language:
First, you're going to need to go to the [Language] option and search for [Define your language...].
Next, once the pop-up shows up, go to the "User language:" list and select the user-made language installed.
Then, you'll click the [Remove] button with the language selected.
Once a confirmation window pops up, press [Yes].
If you want to reinstall or update a user-made language, just follow the installation explanation after uninstalling.
How to install Auto-Completion files:
First, go to your Notepad++ installation file (most commonly at C:\Program Files\Notepad++). Open it and look for the plugins folder. Open it, and go to the APIs folder. Open it.
Drag the file you've downloaded for the Auto-Completion (should be named Minecraft Cmnds.xml) and drop it on the opened folder:
And that's it! Your auto-completion file is ready to go! However, you need to activate the feature inside Notepad++ itself.
Activating/deactivating Auto-Completion for Notepad++:
First, go to the [Settings] tab on Notepad++, then open the [Preferences...] option:
Once the Preferences window opens, select "Auto-Completion" in the right tab:
Once that tab is selected, mark the "Enable auto-completion on each input" checkbox. Make sure that the first option, "Function completion", is the one selected. Additionally, you may change the value of "From [N] th character" to whatever number suits your needs better:
And that's it! If you want to remove the auto-completion functionality, simply follow all these steps again, but uncheck the checkbox instead. Furthermore, if you want the auto-completion function, but in a non-invasive way, you may use the auto-completion shortcut (default to [Ctrl]+[Space]).
Nice! I can see this coming in use for a lot of people who prefer syntax colouring rather than the plain text Minecraft's command blocks offer
Thanks, Orbital! Yeah, I hope it's some use for someone
As for the Addon, I added double hyphen comments (even though they don't take effect on Minecraft). I also fixed a small problem with relative negative values, and added a file extension to it (.mccmd). It doesn't affect anything (it's just a .txt file with a different extension), but it makes things easier when you want to save or open command files.
Hello again, folks! I just wanted to bump this thread so you guys could see the newest feature I included for my user-defined language, the Minecraft Commands language: it now includes auto-completion! What that means is that you can get the name of commands, tiles and entities much easier and without the need for searching for it on Google or wikis!
Main post is updated with a new download link and a step-by-step tutorial on how to activate this new feature!
This is great! I'd love to see an update to this for Minecraft 1.12, now that we can save commands as functions! This would be perfect if updated to 1.12!

Hey! I have made my own notepad++ Minecraft commands language for 1.12! Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/?23a679f65gg95or
Hope you enjoy! Pm me any problems you have with it.

Just redownload and reinstall it for the update.
Well, well... Very interesting! A much nicer color scheme than the one I built for myself, and more complete too. Well done!
thank you, very much appreciated!
added to my personal essential downloads list
Brilliant! i love the concept and its worked great for me so far!
Thanks, guys, I really appreciate it.
Again, if you have any suggestions, I'll try my best to implement them

Excellent! Can you please support 1.13? I want it for a project.
As well as more items, blocks, commands, and entities? It should be more helpful this way.
Is possible to update this to the new 1.13 syntax? I can help if you tell me how you make the addon in the first place
