ScriptCraft and the Scripting API

[ghost]

The new Scripting API for Minecraft Bedrock Edition will be coming out soon. What impact do you think this will have on ScriptCraft? If it comes to Java Edition, will it make ScriptCraft obsolete, or will the two systems work in tandem? Will they be completely separate? Will there be a way to send and receive data to and from the API, perhaps through in-world systems like command blocks or entity NBT data? These are all questions that need be asked, in my opinion.

This is considering that the scripting API uses JavaScript.

Hi Harrison, I don't know a lot about the Scripting API for Bedrock Edition - other than what's available here.

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Bedrock_Beta_Script_Documentation

What I gather from that page is that the API will be javascript based and not just JS but ES6 (use of let instead of var etc).

I think that the Java one has some life left in it.
