    "namespace:path/to/function": [
      // the content of .mcfunction file here.
      // It can be array of string (one command per entry),
      // or plain string contents.
    ],
    // Any path starts with # indicates this is a tag definition
    // (As in references of commands)
    "#namespace:path/to/sometag": {
      "values": [
        // Tags can be here too
      ]
    }
  },
