Issues

  • Very "long" numbers can't be parsed by the molang compiler (Ex: 0.4398741874364278346234372)
  • Transparency is not supported yet (switch to text display entities?)
  • Molang expression support for UV mappings is limited due to resource-pack limitations in minecraft java edition
  • No support for bezier_curve-type curves
