`try` function evaluates expression, and continues further unless `throw` function is called anywhere
|
||||
inside `expr`. In that case the `catch_expr` is evaluates with `_` set to the argument `throw` was called with.
|

This mechanic accepts skipping thrown value - it throws null instead, and catch expression - then try returns
|
||||
null as well This mechanism allows to terminate large portion of a convoluted call stack and continue program
|
||||
execution. There is only one level of exceptions currently in carpet, so if the inner function also defines
|
||||
the `try` catchment area, it will received the exception first, but it can technically rethrow the value its
|
||||
getting for the outer scope. Unhandled throw acts like an exit statement.

`try` function evaluates expression, and continues further unless an exception is thrown anywhere inside `expr`,
|
||||
it being produced by `throw` or a catchable exception is thrown by Carpet. In that case the `catch_expr` is evaluated with
|
||||
`_` set to the id of the exception and `_msg` set to the exception message. If `id_filter` is present, only exceptions
|
||||
with an id equal to that value will be catched, and any other exception will continue up the stack. It is recommended to filter
|
||||
the exceptions to catch to be able to distinguish from an exception that is known that may happen from one that shouldn't.

The `try` function allows you to catch some Scarpet exceptions for those cases when trying to get things like items,
|
||||
blocks, biomes or dimensions from registries, that may have been modified by resourcepacks or mods, or when an error that
|
||||
is out of the scope of the programmer occurs, like problems when reading a file.
|
||||
|
||||
In this documentation, those are documented in at least most of the functions that throw them, and the current list of exceptions
|
||||
is the following:
|
||||
- `unknown_item`: Happens when a specified item doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_block`: Happens when a specified block doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_biome`: Happens when a specified biome doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_sound`: Happens when a specified sound doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_particle`: Happens when a specified particle doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_poi_type`: Happens when a specified POI type doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_dimension`: Happens when a specified dimension doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_structure`: Happens when a specified structure doesn't exist
|
||||
- `unknown_criterion`: Happens when a specified scoreboard criterion doesn't exist
|
||||
- `nbt_read_exception`: Happens when there is an exception while reading an NBT file
|
||||
- `json_read_exception`: Happens when there is an exception while reading a JSON file
|
||||
|
||||
### `throw(id?, message?)`
|
||||
|
||||
Throws an exception that can be catched in a `try` block (see above). If ran without arguments, it will pass `null`
|
||||
as the value to the `catch_expr`. `message` is the message to show to chat or console in case the `throw` is
|
||||
unhandled.

||||
|
||||
### `if(cond, expr, cond?, expr?, ..., default?)`
