How to condition if item placed has specific NBT data?

[steep silo]

    NBT = e.item.getNbtString();
    // If NBT contains "test", cancel the event
    if (NBT.includes("test")) {
        e.cancel();
    }
})```
I'm trying to make a server-side custom crate item that is used by placing and I'm stuck at step 1. I need to check if the block has specific NBT data (to determine it's an official crate) so that I can only run the crate logic if that condition is met.

i think if you just do .nbt you can access it

from there it should be interpreted similar to a JSON object by kube

can always test method names by console.log()ing the result of using them on stuff, and if it's undefined, it's probably nonexistent, or the item doesn't have the appropriate data anyway

[steep silo]

I will try this now

It is undefined:
BlockEvents.placed("dirt", e => { NBT = e.nbt; // If NBT contains "test", cancel the event console.log(NBT); })

[visual thicket]

you need to use .nbt on the item from the event

I have the same issue, when you put a block it loses the nbt data right?

[visual thicket]

it does, yes, besides the BlockEntityTag

this event handler is looking at the block before placement however

[steep silo]

    console.log(e.item.nbt);
})```
Still nothing?

[steep silo]

Success!

``BlockEvents.rightClicked(e => {
let nbt = e.item.nbt;
if (nbt == {Tags:"test"}) {
e.cancel();
}

})``

[steep silo]

    const nbt = e.item.nbt;
    const name = e.item.hoverName
    if (nbt == `{Tags:"test"}`) {
        e.cancel();
        console.log("Block with nbt test was right clicked");
    }
    if (name == 'Appol') {
        console.log("Appol was right clicked");
    } else { console.log(name); }
})```
I keep getting the else statment even when "Appol" is right clicked.

try another variable for name

one sec

try something like item.id or something like that

[steep silo]

    // const nbt = e.item.nbt;
    const myitemname = e.item.hoverName
    // if (nbt == `{Tags:"test"}`) {
    //     e.cancel();
    //     console.log("Block with nbt test was right clicked");
    // }
    if (myitemname == 'Appol') {
        e.cancel();
        console.log("Appol was right clicked");
    } else { console.log(myitemname); }
})```

still runs the else statement

[pulsar pendant]

I mean for your myitemname, sorry I phrased my response wrong

try this

name = e.item.id;

or maybe hoverName works and you just forgot the semicolon

not entirely sure

[steep silo]

that just prints the item's namespace id

now i'm getting minecraft:apple

[pulsar pendant]

try doing the previous thing, name = e.item.hoverName;, but make sure to add the semicolon

see if that works

I'm not on the game rn, so I can't really determine what will and wont work

[steep silo]

semicolon didn't work

    const nbt = e.item.nbt;
    const name = e.item.displayName;
    // if (nbt == `{Tags:"test"}`) {
    //     e.cancel();
    //     console.log("Block with nbt test was right clicked");
    // }
    if (name == '[Appol]') {
        e.cancel();
        console.log("Appol was right clicked");
    } else { console.log(name); }
})```
display name doesn't work either

hmm

I'll take a look at the code in a bit when I get done with hw
