Data Types

The following is a list of types referenced in the Moxlib API. These are not the same as NBT types; they are largely simplified aliases for them instead, for ease of use and understanding.

Object

{a:1,b:2,c:3}

Objects are collections of data organised into key/value pairs. They are contained within an opening and closing curly bracket ({ and }). Keys and values are seperated by a colon (:), such as key:value.

Each key/value pair record within the collection is seperated by a comma (,).

Array

[1,2,3,4]

Arrays are ordered collections of data, contained within an opening and closing square bracket ([ and ]). Each record withing the collection is seperated by a comma (,).

Within the documentation, data listed as an Array will often have another data type listed in front of it, dictating the type of what the values within the array should be. For example, String Array is an array containing only Strings.

Arrays may only contain a single type of data.

String

"Hello, World!"

Strings are a collection of characters, contained between two quotes (either ' or ").

Json

'{"text":"Hello, World!"}'

Json is a subset of String, of which the String is also a valid Raw JSON Text Component.

It is used for formatting text.

Numeric

The following types are numeric, and as such, can retrieved and stored into the scoreboard.

Any reference to Numeric will accept any of the following types.

Byte

12b

A number between -128 and 127. Has a suffix of b.

Boolean

true

Internally, a Boolean and a Byte are stored identically. However, a Boolean can only be between 0 and 1.

Optionally, true and false can also be used in this type, for added readability.

Short

1337s

A number between -32,768 and 32,767. Has a suffix of s.

Integer

123456

A number between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647. Has no suffix.

Long

8489748397l

A number between -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Has a suffix of l.

Float

30.68f

See NBT Format - Data Types. Has a suffix of f.

Double

847.093D

See NBT Format - Data Types. Has a suffix of D.

Score

A score on a scoreboard objective. Same value range as Integer.
