There has been a major breaking change to experimental JavaScript APIs:

All script modules have been renamed to follow a new convention.

For example, rather than using:

import * as mc from "mojang-minecraft";

Use:

import * as mc from "@minecraft/server";

Use of script eval() and Function() must be explicitly enabled in manifest.json

To do this, set script_eval in capabilities array.

"capabilities": [ "script_eval"]
