Ward lets you write automated tests for your datapacks as plain .mcfunction files in a test/ folder.

A test run with ward, results stream in live.

Ward comes in two parts:

Running tests

Write tests in your datapack under data/<namespace>/test/:

# @timeout 100
summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Tags: ["target"]}
assert entity @e[tag=target]
await not entity @e[tag=target]

Comment lines starting with @ are directives that
configure the test, and assert is one of the test commands.

In-Game

• /test run <name> - Run a specific test
• /test runall [namespace] - Run all tests (optionally filtered by namespace)
• /test runfailed - Re-run previously failed tests
• /test runthis - Run the closest test
• /test runthese - Run all tests within 200 blocks

Console

Install then run the CLI:

uv tool install mcward[cli]   # or: pip install mcward[cli]
ward                          # discovers your packs, picks compatible versions, runs the tests

misode, and implements its full command set.
