Usage

Building a project

dash_compiler build: Loads all plugins and builds the project inside of your current working directory in production mode.

• --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. This option requires the Minecraft client to be exempt from network loopback restrictions. This exemption is set automatically as long as Dash is running with admin privileges.
