I want kubejs:light_seeker to find the nearest blocks with the kubejs:light_source tag and make it drop as an item.
I made this, and it can start the game, but it doesn't work properly.
( Sorry, I don‘t really understand this at all... I pretty much did it with ChatGPT. )
#EntityJS - How can I make a mob look for and break a specific blok?

Never say 'it crashed', 'it errored', or 'it didn't work' without providing the full scripts and log/crash report!

also i dont believe Infinity is a good thing to go off of in terms of it being smaller, just set it to the max size of your bounding box which looks like 40

let nearestDistance = 20

I tried doing it this way, but it's just standing there doing nothing

I faced the same problem, have no idea how to implement.
I don't think that looping over all blocks is a good idea - it scales really bad when search area grows (even for your example it's 64k iterations worst case) and block search should run repeatedly to make sure that lightsource isn't gone.
Maybe it's worth to track all placements of light blocks by player and ignore natureal lightsources (if it's enough)

still don't really get how to do it. I only know how to make this mob look for nearby entities, but I have no clue when it comes to block tags. It'd be much easier if there were some examples.

alright so i've spent some time revising it so it will use minecraft's built in BlockPos iteration logic, we're also instancing a lot of the logic in persistentData so it's multiplayer friendly and wont conflict with other mobs who have the same goals ect, we're also only checking once every second for a torch instead of checking every single tick to avoid unnecessary entity ticking which will save resources, im only sending the custom goal code because of discord's message limit though it should be copy and paste in
mob => {
if (mob.age % 20 == 0) {
let aabb = mob.boundingBox.inflate(20);
let Searching = mob.persistentData.get('Search')
if (!Searching) Searching = 0
if (Searching == 0) {
Searching = 1
for (let pos of BlockPos.betweenClosed(
Math.floor(aabb.minX), Math.floor(aabb.minY), Math.floor(aabb.minZ),
Math.floor(aabb.maxX), Math.floor(aabb.maxY), Math.floor(aabb.maxZ)
)) {
let block = mob.level.getBlock(pos);
if (block.hasTag('kubejs:light_source')) {
mob.persistentData.NLP = { x: pos.getX(), y: pos.getY(), z: pos.getZ() };
Searching = 2
break;
}
}
if (Searching == 2 && mob.persistentData.NLP) {
mob.getNavigation().moveTo(mob.persistentData.NLP.x, mob.persistentData.NLP.y, mob.persistentData.NLP.z, 0.7);
} else {
Searching = 0
}
}
let targetPos = mob.persistentData.get('NLP');
if (targetPos) {
let dist = mob.blockPosition().distManhattan(new BlockPos(targetPos.x, targetPos.y, targetPos.z))
if (dist <= 3) {
mob.level.destroyBlock(new BlockPos(targetPos.x, targetPos.y, targetPos.z), true);
mob.persistentData.remove('NLP');
Searching = 0
}
}
}
}```let me know if you have any other problems and we'll work them out

It’s running perfectly! I think this is exactly what I wanted!
