🛑 Before you Start

  • I have searched existing bug reports for my problem.
  • I have read the F-A-Q.
  • I am using the latest version of Animated Java
  • I will only report a single bug in this report. If I have found multiple bugs, I will create a separate report for each one.

🗣️ Describe the bug

Various elements get generated without quotes, breaking the function since the SNBT format isn't introduced until 1.21.5

Example:

Taken from zzz/summon/animation_arg/no_negative.mcfunction

tellraw @a [{"text":"","color":red},[{"color":gray,"text":"\n "},{"color":"#00aced","text":"ᴀɴɪᴍᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴊᴀᴠᴀ"},{"color":dark_gray,"italic":true,"text":"\n (aj:error)"},"\n → "],"ᴇʀʀᴏʀ: ",{"text":"Frame cannot be negative","underlined":true},"\n\n ",{"text":frame,"color":yellow},{"text":" must be a non-negative integer."},"\n"]

When it should be:
tellraw @a [{"text":"","color":"red"},[{"color":"gray","text":"\n "},{"color":"#00aced","text":"ᴀɴɪᴍᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴊᴀᴠᴀ"},{"color":"dark_gray","italic":true,"text":"\n (aj:error)"},"\n → "],"ᴇʀʀᴏʀ: ",{"text":"Frame cannot be negative","underlined":true},"\n\n ",{"text":"frame","color":"yellow"},{"text":" must be a non-negative integer."},"\n"]
