MiniBench: Packs for Minecraft

Write, build, preview, and learn Minecraft Bedrock function packs on iPad.

MiniBench is a native, code-first editor for Minecraft Bedrock Edition function packs. Create a project, write your commands (or let a builder write them for you), check the result in 3D, and export a .mcpack that opens in Minecraft with one tap. No hand-editing JSON in a plain text app.

LEARN BY DOING — FREE
• 10 interactive Labs teach commands one hands-on step at a time: selectors, coordinates, execute, scoreboards, tags, and a capstone
• 28 command drills, from /fill and /summon to /scoreboard and /title
• Write it in a real pack, tap Check for a friendly nudge, let MiniBench fix it for you if you're stuck, then ship it to Minecraft
• Labs, hints, and in-file comments in 13 languages

A REAL CODE EDITOR
• Syntax highlighting for commands, selectors (@a, @e, @p, @r, @s), coordinates (~, ^), strings, numbers, and NBT-like braces
• Context-aware autocomplete with a signature bar that previews argument shapes as you type; Tab accepts a completion from the full vanilla 1.21 catalog
• Selector-argument key completion inside @e[...]
• 80 ready-made snippets: execute chains, give, teleport, scoreboard, tags, and more
• Jump between functions: autocomplete "function " and tap any function call to open it
• Inline validation for unknown commands, malformed selectors, and unbalanced braces
• Light and dark editor themes, multi-tab editing, and iPad split view with a draggable divider

3D PREVIEW — FREE
• See what your .mcfunction builds before you share it, with your own character standing in the scene
• The preview follows function calls, so a build split across several files renders as one complete scene
• 12 painted world backdrops with gradient skies, block art close to Minecraft's own, and translucent glass that renders correctly

BUILDERS (PRO)
• House Builder: houses, towers, and rooms up to 32 floors at exact, block-perfect sizes, with roofs and lighting
• Chest Builder: lay out loot on a visual grid with Bedrock's real stack limits
• Demolition Builder: rig a build with concealed TNT and a fuse
• Image → Build: turn a photo into a block statue, solid or hollow

PROJECTS, EXPORT, IMPORT
• Single-screen project wizard; store locally or in iCloud Drive
• Valid manifest.json scaffolded with fresh UUIDs, plus a manifest form editor
• Auto-save and Cmd+S; tabs and split state restored across launches
• Export validates the manifest, UUIDs, version arrays, pack icon, and functions folder, then hands a .mcpack to the share sheet; export as a playable .mcworld with Pro
• Import an existing .mcpack from Files or the share sheet
• 26 project icon packs: Classic is free, the rest are $0.99 each

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Cmd+S save, Cmd+W close tab, Cmd+T new tab, Cmd+F find, Cmd+Z / Shift+Cmd+Z undo and redo, Cmd+Shift+E export, Tab to accept a completion. Full cheat sheet built in.

WHO IT'S FOR
Minecraft creators, map makers, teachers, and anyone learning commands who wants a real editor on iPad, not a watered-down web wrapper.
