Mcfunction formatting

Dear Mojang,

 

Their are a few things that i want to do in functions that i can do in a normal (programming)language.

Mainly commantary and tabs/4spaces.

This will greatly improve readability and will also improve how easy it is to make.

I love the datapack system as a whole, but this needs to change i think

    If you start the line with # that line will be ignored and not executed. So comments

    But only if that is the first character.

    Also, tabs/4spaces would be entirely pointless as you cannot encapsulate a series of commands in {}, only in another mcfunction file. Just put a double linebreak between commands for clarification.

    So

    command1

     

    #Section comment

    command2

    Adding onto what deathconekul said, spaces before commands in functions are already perfectly allowed

    It'd be nice to be able to break out json payloads to commands in nice formatting, they're a pain to edit all one line.
