# PyBDS

**Python API for automating Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS)**

PyBDS is a Python library that allows you to interact with Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Servers using a **modern async API**. It integrates with a small JavaScript behavior pack that emits game events directly to Python, so you can programmatically react to in-game events, run commands, and manage multiple servers — all from Python.

---

## Features

* Automatically downloads and installs the latest BDS for Windows or Linux.
* Installs a behavior pack that forwards events to Python.
* Supports multiple independent servers per project.
* Fully async event hooks for Python scripts.
* Send Minecraft commands directly from Python.
* Automatically handles BDS logging and parsing.
* Cross-platform (Windows and Linux supported).

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install PyBDS
```

> Note: PyBDS will attempt to download and install BDS automatically. If network restrictions prevent this, you can manually download BDS and extract it to `./server/` in your project directory.

---

## Quick Start Example

```python
import asyncio
from minecraft_bds import BDS

# Event handler example
@BDS.event
async def World_Loaded(data):
    # Called when the Minecraft world is loaded
    await BDS.RunCommand('say Server loaded world!')

@BDS.event
async def Entity_Killed(data):
    entity, killer = data.get('entity'), data.get('killer')
    print(f"{entity} was killed by {killer}")

# Start the server and event loop
asyncio.run(BDS.start())
```

---

## API Reference

### `BDS.event`

A decorator to subscribe to Minecraft events emitted by the behavior pack.

```python
@BDS.event
async def EventName(data):
    ...
```

**Parameters:**

* `data` — a dictionary containing event-specific information:

  * `World_Loaded` → empty dict
  * `Entity_Killed` → `{ "entity": <entity_type>, "killer": <player_or_entity> }`
  * `Block_Break` → `{ "player": <player_name>, "block": <block_type> }`
  * Additional events can be emitted via the behavior pack.

---

### `await BDS.RunCommand(command: str)`

Send a Minecraft command to the BDS server.

**Example:**

```python
await BDS.RunCommand('give @p minecraft:diamond 5')
```

---

### `BDS.start(base_path: str | Path = None)`

Start the BDS server and begin listening for events.

* `base_path` (optional) — path where the server should be installed. Defaults to `./server/` relative to your script.

This method is **async** and must be run inside an `asyncio` loop.

**Example:**

```python
import asyncio
from minecraft_bds import BDS

asyncio.run(BDS.start())
```

---

### `BDS.stop()`

Stops the server gracefully and closes the event loop.

---

### Event System Notes

* Events are emitted in real-time from the server’s behavior pack.
* All handlers are **async functions** and can run commands or perform I/O.
* Multiple handlers can be registered for the same event.

---

## Multi-Server Support

By default, PyBDS installs the server in `./server/` relative to your script.
You can create multiple independent servers by specifying different `base_path` values when initializing the `MinecraftBDS` instance:

```python
from minecraft_bds.core import MinecraftBDS
server1 = MinecraftBDS(base_path="./server1")
server2 = MinecraftBDS(base_path="./server2")
```

Each server will have its own world, behavior pack, and logs.

---

## Logging

All BDS console output is forwarded to Python’s `asyncio` logger.
You can also hook into specific events to capture structured data programmatically.

---

## Supported Platforms

* **Windows 10 / 11**
* **Linux x86_64**
  *(macOS is not officially supported)*
