Script API General

[wary edge]

Well, when you spread misinformation and unhelpful stuff then yes, It concerns me

[turbid oriole]

Use an event that evaluates a state prior to the mount interaction and to compensate use a system.run to evaluate a verification of the player entity above of the mountable entity on the next tick. He does it in a messy way with the line I mentioned.

What he does not know is that he can use an event that evaluates the state afterwards and that when executing system.run from an event it is not executed in a tick later but in the same tick.

I read it directly in the official documentation. I think it was in the gameplay loop section.

:b speak.

Is my information useful? Admin.

[dusky cipher]

i just figured it out anyways lol, just had some docs issues

b/c ngl they’re kinda annoying to navigate

[remote oyster]

You learn to navigate as you play around in it lol.

[turbid oriole]

Also tell me.

[wary edge]

You can use https://stirante.com/script/ instead. Way more helpful imo than the official docs

[unique dragon]

or https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/

[inland merlin]

wow, just explored a few things.

man o man... never going back to js, just coding with typescript is too nice to have

[wary edge]

[inland merlin]

LOL

ty btw, never knew how handy it was

[turbid oriole]

It's pretty.

[fiery solar]

It's a real game changer. Once you understand how to create the types and interfaces you want it makes development so much faster it's crazy.

If you like that typescript has to offer you should look into eslint at some point. In combination with typescript's strict mode it will eliminate 99% of bugs.

[wary edge]

What the hell dude?

[slim spear]

|| as number ||

[inland merlin]

ohhh awesome thanks for the heads up/tips!

[remote oyster]

Welcome to the other side 😉

[inland merlin]

th

thx

yeah. parameter types for sure game changer,

using tsc --watch

getting tired of /reload

[wary edge]

Welll....dont you still have to do /reload?

[inland merlin]

yes, just less type errors

[inland merlin]

i will be doing less is all

sorry for confusion lol

[fiery solar]

I have a setup that automatically compiles typescript, bundles the code using esbuild and runs /reload every time you save.

I can post it in the next few days if people would use it. I just want to clean it up a bit and add documentation.

[inland merlin]

oh yeah that would be awesome

[solar dagger]

Thank you, this fixed my problem 🙂

@wary edge i got it, thanks for helping out 🙂

[wary edge]

Nice

[runic crypt]

can anyone tell me how to detect if player left clicks/right clicks a specific item ?
like i can name the item/add a tag to myself, then i clcik the item and a command is run ?

[neat hound]

JS Question Class Constructor
should it be only for the parameters => properties or should it also initialize anything that any of the parameters is related to or do the other properties outside of the constructor get initialized at the same time or if they are listed before the constructor?

[chrome flint]

that's a huge giraffe

[solar dagger]

Yes a giraffe 🦒

Use the itemUse event

[runic crypt]

i figured it out :)

[runic crypt]

can u help with this ?

[runic crypt]

this

[solar dagger]

Server version is wrong

Should be 1.12.0

[runic crypt]

can you fix it and add the subpacks line if possible ?

[runic crypt]

@chrome flint is editing this possible ?
like adding subpacks in this code ?

[chrome flint]

yes, by the example i sent, you should be able to do it by yourself

[neat hound]

Did I confuse you? LOL... I have this constructorJS constructor(location, qty = 0) { this.startLocation = location; this.blockTypes = Object.keys(MinecraftBlockTypes) .map((k, i) => { return { index: i, key: k, typeId: MinecraftBlockTypes[ k ], name: MinecraftBlockTypes[ k ].split(':')[ 1 ], isAir: false, isLiquid: false, isSolid: true, hasTag: false, tags: [], xyz: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, y_offset: MinecraftBlockTypes[ k ].includes('cactus') ? 1 : 0, defaultState: {} /* button: facing_direction */ }; }); this.maxBlocks = qty === 0 ? this.blockTypes.length : qty; } //end constructor and I do not think blockTypes belongs in there... but max Blocks needs it to be complete.

[chrome flint]

experiencing is the best way of learning

[runic crypt]

oki ill try thanks :)

[valid ice]

If blockTypes is a static thing, it's better to define it outside the function

[neat hound]

well the location stuff is not, that is dep on where I am (this is just some test I am doing, worked, but I want to make it a class)

But I do think the base part of that can be outside and I can pull it in and add the location stuff...

or it be static

?

in the class

the base part

[valid ice]

It definitely can- there's a reason people say to define function calls outside of other function calls..

1. bad practice
2. looks terrible
3. performance

Same deal for constants as you have there

Some cannot be avoided

[neat hound]

What function calls.. you mean the Object,keys()

[valid ice]

Like, defining functions within functions

[neat hound]

wait, then what does in a class

[valid ice]

Say, a getScore() within a blockBreak call

same-ish deal to what you have-but the blockBreak is your function method, and your getScore is the constant

Something like that would definitely be better in a outside constant.

[neat hound]

I thought the whole point of the class was to bundle it all together... maybe just same file is good enough

[valid ice]

I have global constant calls in my class definitions

[grave thistle]

How would I check if a block was broken with a pickaxe with a certain enchantment (stable)?

[neat hound]

mini example?

outside file?

so not portable

[neat hound]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server_1_14_0_beta.PlayerBreakBlockAfterEvent.html

[neat hound]

Also check beforeEvent... something should lead to the item used to do it and from there you may be able to get that information

[runic crypt]

can anyone tell me why this isn't working ??

[runic crypt]

https://youtu.be/_kyfTWcS-aU?si=Y2J3M6jfCkOT_2Kj
see this

[valid ice]

yesn't

It's just imports from a global constants file I have, nothing special

[shy leaf]

what is the best way to keep player's modified movement component during a specified time without it being reset to sprinting

runInterval sounds horrifying so im trying to stay away from it

unless its the only way

nvm ig it is the only way

[grave thistle]

Is getComponent stable? For example: hItem.getComponent("enchantable") doesn't have any other fields when I add a full stop after

[granite badger]

getComponent is stable. Stable typings don’t have a map on what class it returns based on specific parameters so it returns nothing. You have to use TS or jsdoc to set return type

[grave thistle]

How would I do that using js.

[granite badger]

/**
 * @type {_______}
 */
const component = item.getComponent()

[grave thistle]

Lol I'm lost. I've had a long break from scripting and addon making.

[prisma shard]

how can i describe a code using comments?

i dont know how to use those @param etc

those make the code pretty,

so i wanted to use them, to describe my code

but i dont know, how to

[neat hound]

Here is a live example:```js
/**

• @param { import("@minecraft/server").Vector3 } locationStart
  */
  locationSet (locationStart) {```So when I hover over the param

Part of is is also the settings I changed in vscode and it annotates in TS for me.

[grave thistle]

Think I need to take a refresher, still confused lol. Why did they have to make it confusing.

[neat hound]

It is not that.. it is that there are a lot of tools.. search for what you need, you will find it.

[runic crypt]

guys how do i make it so that a command is executed when player right click a diamond named test ?

[neat hound]

https://jsdoc.app/

[neat hound]

You mean when they use it? That would be a check for itemUse. From there look and see if you are able to see the name of the item... if you can, that is the route

[runic crypt]

can you tell me how ?
im a bit new to the item part

@neat hound

[neat hound]

Have you done other subscribes to events?

[runic crypt]

i made a block broken counter

[runic crypt]

this

[neat hound]

okay... this page (tho it is preview beta...) https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server_1_14_0_beta.WorldBeforeEvents.html
This is before. See ItemUse.... travel down that road.... you want to get the itemStack...

[runic crypt]

imma try it out

[neat hound]

some pages have sample code, you have to open them up

[runic crypt]

itemUse: ItemUseBeforeEventSignal

i gotta use this ?

wait ill send a zip file

this is what im working on

@neat hound
how do i implement the item use into it ?

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";
world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((data) => {
let { player, block, brokenBlockPermutation } = data;

player.runCommand("/scoreboard players add @s mined 1")

})

can i modify this code somehow ?

like add itemUse: ItemUseBeforeEventSignal into it ?

can you tell how ?

[neat hound]

Well I am confused... you want to know if they broke a block with a diamond named test... but you asked about a right click... those are 2 different things

left click hits and breaks.... right click interacts

[runic crypt]

no the code i sent

it detects when i block is broken

how do i modify it so that it detects player right-clicking a diamond

[neat hound]

no, you sent beforeItemUse and UseOn

the stuff I just told you to look up

This is what you sent.... nothing about blocks

use your code to display the nametag of the item to the screen so you know if you can get it.... for breaking block, it can also give you the itemused to break the block, so in that code you can test for the same thing....

and bedtime for me.... good luck

[valid ice]

real

[neat hound]

One more thing... in VSCode, go to file, settings, open up extensions, scroll down to Typescript....(if you do not have it, not sure what I installed to get it)... but if you do, go thru all the options that say JavaScript.. all kinds of neat things to turn on. After I played with it I had more information than I wanted, but then I got used to it. It keeps me straight.

Now I sleep, nite folks

[grave thistle]

I'm using bridge. Still can't get the detect silk touch script working...

He told me u can't read getObjective of undefined

Even after i wrote :

[cold grove]

Maybe beforeevent?

[random flint]

check typo

or any similar variable with the name world

Or actually, confirm where the error comes from

[amber granite]

Thefe is no

Maybe you cursor typed getObjective on another place

I think this is not possible an asignation like this

world.scoreboard = .....

But maybe(????

const score = getScore(player, "money");

why getscore is not defined

[naive tinsel]

ok so im doing skyblock island loading and saving

and when im loading the island it lags the game quite a bit

currently i have a 128x128 island.

and im using 4 structure blocks, (each at 64x64) to load the island

in the image there are 16 32x32 structure blocks

if i change the loading to use the 32x32 structures, would this create less lag?

and introduce priotity loading by loadint the 4 chunks in the centre and then the outside ones.

or split it up even more into 32 structure blocks at 16x16 each

idk, i just need a way to load efficiently without killing the server.

[naive tinsel]

like this.

[remote oyster]

If the function is not local in the same script where you are calling the function then it means you have it in another script, or you don't have the function at all. If it's in another script you need to export it, then import it to the script where you call the function.

[shy leaf]

is it possible to make the player to do swing animation when using a custom item

not on specific blocks but use in general

[amber granite]

How can i show scoreboard with number beside it ?

[sudden nest]

Why was the all in EnchantmentSlot removed? And there's still no Mace EnchantmentSlot Enums yet in the latest api

[prisma shard]

playAnimation

scripting not the best option to play animation

u can do it with json

[shy leaf]

i dont think swing animation is possible with that

[fiery solar]

Waiting for a few ticks in between structure loads might help

[remote oyster]

Not sure about the "all" but you could definitely make a report for "Mace".

[sudden nest]

okay, not really big of a deal for the devs ithink, but yeah. i'll try to report it later. thanks

Ignore the console.warn, I made them just to test if the script is even running.

[fast lark]

i dont have it, how can i solve this

[shy leaf]

youre using itemStartUseOn

try itemUse?

[crude ferry]

Oh, lemme try.

[grand heart]

im crying about the inconsistency in ;

[crude ferry]

I'm sorry.

[crude ferry]

So it does warn the item object but it doesn't show me the form for some reason.

[shy leaf]

then the form is most likely wrong

[crude ferry]

Whot-

How can the form be wrong lol?

[shy leaf]

shrug!

[grand heart]

try adding .then(f => if (f.canceled) console.warn("here 1"))

[shy leaf]

let me give you an example but its a modal form

function dcConfig(player) {
    let form = new ModalFormData()
    .title("Dungeons Combat Settings")
    .toggle("Toggle Mod\n(You can use compass to open this menu.)", player.getDynamicProperty("dc_state"))
    .slider("Camera Distance", 15, 30, 1, player.getDynamicProperty("dc_camdist"))
    .slider("Camera Position", 1, 4, 1, player.getDynamicProperty("dc_campos"))
    .slider("Camera Lerp", 10, 50, 5, player.getDynamicProperty("dc_camlerp"));  
    form.show(player).then((response) => {
        const { canceled, formValues, cancelationReason } = response;
        if (response && canceled && cancelationReason === "UserBusy") {
            dcConfig(player);
            return;
        }
        if (canceled) return;
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_state",formValues[0])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_camdist",formValues[1])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_campos",formValues[2])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_camlerp",formValues[3])
        if (player.getDynamicProperty("dc_state") == true) {
            setcamera(player)
        } else {
            clearcamera(player)
        }
    })
    }```

this is how i did

[grand heart]

no eror? no anything?

[crude ferry]

Yes.

Now time to beg for json ui help lol 😭

I'mma figure out something.

[amber granite]

U know json ui is the final boss

[crude ferry]

Fr fr.

[abstract cave]

would there be any reasom for someone to have more than one js file in theire manifest stuff

[amber granite]

? More than one ?

[abstract cave]

like the main.js file

just asking

[shy leaf]

no

dont think you can do that

[abstract cave]

then must your script file be named index.js or main.js

or can you change the name

[shy leaf]

also no

i mean

you can change the name

[amber granite]

U can change it to whatever u want

Even emoji

[shy leaf]

why emoji

💀

[amber granite]

Idk

[prisma shard]

hi

haha

[remote oyster]

Why are you attempting to call a function that you do not have in your code? I'm more curious about that one lol

Also, if you scroll above where you first mentioned the function there is some code regarding that function name which you could use to accomplish your goal.

It's written with TS in mind so you would need to clean it up slightly

[glacial widget]

thats better then what i can do

is it worth learning json ui or paying someone to do it for me?

[amber granite]

It is worth it to learn js

[shy leaf]

id say

90% yes

half of 90% is "learning something is great"

the other half is "i can make something ive dreamed of in minecraft"

[crude ferry]

It is worth learning.

[shy leaf]

json ui sounds really worth learning considering there are only few who knows it

but

idk if it pays well

i couldnt even start learning json ui because of how tedius it is

[distant tulip]

it dose pay well

[shy leaf]

yeah but like the learning progress counteracts it to me tbh

im just waiting for ore ui to be a thing

[distant tulip]

same 🤷‍♂️

[valid ice]

JSON UI is rewarding if you are good at it and know what you're doing

It sucks cuz you have to relog into the test world, and the miniscule changes to offsets & whatnot are annoying as hell

[shy leaf]

yeah thats the major thing

its like

making visual blindfolded

and then everytime you finish making, you take the blindfold off

[valid ice]

I would kill for a live JSON UI web editor tbh

[shy leaf]

omg that would be a game changer

in a literal sense too

[amber granite]

Yes , we need something like that

We need to wait until someone made it

[amber granite]

If u want ur sanity to be well then pay

If u want to be phycopath then learn

• they gonna change it

With ore ui

So

[mini rant]

Just "love" it when you look up a component in the massive list of script components. Just to read an ambiguous piece of text and nothing about how this component would supposedly be written in the script...

context.
This, does help explain what the component would use, but not how it would look as written.
https://stirante.com/script/server/1.11.0/classes/PlayerInteractWithBlockAfterEvent.html#block

It is almost like it could use an example of how the code would look like.

Just like how json files were documented in wikis and they had their code either explained out in full, or have an example to use as a reference.
Which helped a lot for someone learning from scratch.
Like this for example:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/blockreference/examples/blockjsonfilestructure?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

The former gives this detached piece of information folks may not know how to apply to a string of code.
The latter is a bit easier to apply like modules without needing to somehow know that "void" means this, or that "arg:" means that something else can be put in its place.

Something like a format guide would help a lot at this rate.

[abstract cave]

I feel ya bro

It honestly feels like a portion of fledgling addon writers have migrated to this section of the script abyss, and those able to write scripts have to deal with clueless folks asking the same questions in roughly the same way.

Which is a bit funny to see, but on a serious note makes me feel bad for bothering folks on where to learn and how it works.
Sorry folks XD

[valid ice]

Comes with the territory, I'm afraid 😛

[abstract cave]

ikr, few weeks ago I didn't even know what scripts are

[distant tulip]

we all been there (still are)

[valid ice]

Most people don't mind others asking questions, as long as the asker is making a conscious effort to learn themselves.

[glacial widget]

fixed it thank you sir

its surprising how fast a human can learn something if they are focused in it

my first addon was a script api one
i didn't know shit about the api then
and it is still the second best addon i ever made

[abstract cave]

I had to learn js to understand script, we are not the same

[neat hound]

Both Jayly and Stirante have done a lot of work to provide the help they provide with those API websites. I personally have Jayly's open 24/7.

They do it out of love for the game and for the knowledge. Jayly has added a lot of examples to his, but not to every thing. It is not his job, he does not get paid to do it.

That said, you can find lots of examples in this discord if you search on the key words. If you are not finding what you need, there is a whole community here to help and Jayly is active in this discord., Stirante in the OSS discord.

[amber granite]

is it normal to get ms spikes of ~140 the first time almost any event subscription is used?

for example, if i have subscribed to the entitydie event, the first time a mob dies i get an ms spike of like 120ms and then all next entities that die die smoothly

[distant tulip]

140 is a lot
depend on the script

[amber granite]

Maybe ur device is low end device

Any idea on how to use system.runJob()?

[amber granite]

Hey i have question

[noble lagoon]

I solved it, but the form is not shown

[distant tulip]

it uses generator functions
look into that

[remote oyster]

import { system, world } from "@minecraft/server";

// Variables to keep track of ticks and time
let tickCount = 0;
let lastTime = Date.now();
let tps = 0;
let tpsValues = [];
const intervalSeconds = 5; // Interval to calculate TPS
const intervalsToAverage = 12; // Number of intervals to average over (e.g., 12 intervals * 5 seconds = 1 minute)

// Function to calculate TPS
function calculateTPS() {
    const currentTime = Date.now();
    const elapsedTime = (currentTime - lastTime) / 1000; // Convert milliseconds to seconds

    // Calculate TPS
    tps = tickCount / elapsedTime;

    // Store the TPS value
    tpsValues.push(tps);
    if (tpsValues.length > intervalsToAverage) {
        tpsValues.shift(); // Remove the oldest TPS value to maintain the average window size
    }

    // Calculate the average TPS
    const totalTPS = tpsValues.reduce((sum, value) => sum + value, 0);
    const averageTPS = totalTPS / tpsValues.length;

    // Print TPS and average TPS to console (or use for other purposes)
    console.log(`TPS: ${tps.toFixed(2)}, Average TPS: ${averageTPS.toFixed(2)}`);

    // Reset counters
    tickCount = 0;
    lastTime = currentTime;
}

// Function to increment the tick count
function incrementTickCount() {
    tickCount++;
}

// Initialize world events and set up the TPS calculator
world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {
    // Set an interval to increment the tick count every tick
    system.runInterval(incrementTickCount, 1); // 1 tick interval

    // Set an interval to calculate TPS every intervalSeconds * 20 ticks
    system.runInterval(calculateTPS, intervalSeconds * 20); // 20 ticks per second
});

One of many ways to do it. This script will calculate and display the TPS every 5 seconds but the TPS being shown is the average TPS over the last 1 minute. Basically the first minute will be a process to determine your average and every 5 seconds after that will essentially be your average that's maintained. Make sense? 🤪

[amber granite]

How will that give u Correct tps ?

[remote oyster]

Considering latency, ping, hardware, etc, it will be extremely difficult to get an accurate read on TPS. Given the variables which can be problematic to some and maybe not so much to others, you don't have many options.

Is there a test for block equivalent for scripts that returns the block id of a block at a specific location?

[cinder shadow]

Dimension.getBlock(block location).typeId or something like that, I'm not at home to confirm

import { world, Dimension } from "@minecraft/server";

const player = world.getPlayers()[0];

const block = Dimension.prototype.getBlock.call(player.dimension, player.location).typeId;
console.warn(block);

Adjust location as needed.

It can throw if the block is unreachable.

Why doesn't kick works? Like I'm using player.runCommand(kick @s) and it just don't kick

I tried using player.name

And world.getdimenson.runcommand too

[ionic kayak]

Tried something my own, but it throws an error saying the dimension can’t be found

[remote oyster]

What did you try?

[ionic kayak]

Experimenting using one of my projects @remote oyster

Made a whole new code

[remote oyster]

Show the code.

[ionic kayak]

Actually let me try something real quick

[random flint]

you're supposed to do world.getDimension() not importing the Dimension class

[remote oyster]

Have to tell it a specific target.

world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).runCommand(`kick ${player.name}`);

[remote oyster]

You can call it from a prototype.

[random flint]

player.dimension alrwady returns dimension class.

[random flint]

Wouldn't that be an error tho? It specifically bind the method calls next in that dimension. Calling it from a prototype woudln't technically work

[remote oyster]

It works. Try and see for yourself.

[fair quarry]

I will try

[random flint]

if it work, then what dimension it were being called from? maybe Overwolrd as default?

Interesting knowledge from you, i might test it later

[remote oyster]

The parameter for world.getDimension() requires a string not the Dimension type. It returns the Dimension type.

[random flint]

That's not what I mean.

player.dimension already returns a Dimension instance of where the player's current dimension is.

Doing world.getDimension() and then player.dimension.id is redundant.

[remote oyster]

Ah, I see.

Valid.

However, given my experience, the kick command tends to run into permission issues unless called from world.

[random flint]

If I remember correctly, you cannot use selector argument on /kick command. Only player names

[valid ice]

yes

[remote oyster]

That is also true.

[random flint]

So this "was" his issue

[remote oyster]

Yes, which I mentioned.

[random flint]

I think calling runCommand() from the Entity class ignores the target permission.

[remote oyster]

I know that calling it from the Player Class would sometimes result in a failure when kicking a player, due to permission issues, and logging it via try/catch logic helped to recognize that problem some time ago. So the solution found to help work around that was the example I shared above, albeit being redundant.

[random flint]

I see... well thanks for the knowledge. I'm gona test it later

[remote oyster]

I knew what the exact reason was back then. I've forgotten now. It's plausible I made a note on it in the commit, back then lol.

[fair quarry]

It worked, I didn't know you can't kick yourself/owner of the world, thanks man

Any idea about how to detect air with getBlockFromRay?

getBlockFromRay({ x: x, y: y, z: z },{ x: 0, y: -1, z: 0 },{ includeTypes: ['minecraft:air'], includePassableBlocks: true }```I try this but dont work

[random flint]

Simply, you check if it returns undefined

then its air

[woven loom]

ahh i accidently removed the "summon baby hose" post which was resolved already, this happend for the first time in years sorry to the owner whoever posted that

but but

what about other events

Can detect on block & entity, that's it

[shy leaf]

and does the entityHitBlock fire only if the player hits a block

not even some sort of

god

damnit

kinda in the name

only if i could check for v.attack_time in scripts

];

for (const categoryCooldown of cooldowns) {
    Player.startItemCooldown(categoryCooldown, 0);
};

[shy leaf]

huh i can do that? neat

ty

[cold shoal]

Is it a bad idea to run a replacing item script with no delay? It basically replaces certain items in every players inventory with another item. I can make it so that it will only run for creative players (since the item I'm talking about is only obtainable in creative).

[round bone]

just iterate through cooldown category

[twilit crag]

What does only triggered on successful interaction in playerInteractWithEntity mean? No longer possible to make an item useable on every mob without modifying every mob?

Edit: sorry for crossposting, ended up asking the same thing in #1268601041063247955

[hazy nebula]

Is there a way to fill an area where the game won't load?

[wheat condor]

tickingarea command, you should run tickingarea in all the area not loaded

[remote oyster]

It's not a "bad idea" but you would definitely need to make sure the logic for looping through each player, and their inventory of items is as efficient as you can possibly pull it off to minimize the impact that script may have on your world.

import { system, world, Player, ItemStack, ItemTypes, GameMode, EntityQueryOptions } from "@minecraft/server";

const specificItem = "minecraft:stone";  // Replace with the specific item identifier you want to check for
const replacementItem = "minecraft:diamond";  // Replace with the replacement item identifier

async function checkAndReplaceItems() {
  const queryOptions: EntityQueryOptions = {
    gameMode: GameMode.creative
  };
  
  const players = world.getPlayers(queryOptions);
  
  for (const player of players) {
    const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
    const size = inventory.size;
    
    for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
      const item = inventory.getItem(i);
      if (item && item.id === specificItem) {
        inventory.setItem(i, new ItemStack(ItemTypes.get(replacementItem), item.amount));
      }
    }
  }
  
  // Schedule the function to run again after 20 ticks (1 second)
  await new Promise(resolve => system.run(resolve, 20));
  checkAndReplaceItems();
}

// Start the loop
checkAndReplaceItems();

Something like this I believe. Not really tested, but it's written up to be asynchronous to help it from jamming up the main thread, allowing other code operations to continue smoothly in your script, should that be applicable.

[shy leaf]

theres no way to just reset the entire categories, right?

[round bone]

what do you mean? it's seting item cooldown for every registered category to 0

if you have some of your custom cooldowns, just ad to this array

[shy leaf]

i mean well

im asking cuz there are a bit too much categories

but thanks anyway, better than nothing

[round bone]

there' s no other way, just add them to this array'

AND for a bit of a type safety, you can add type to this

/**
 * @type {readonly srtring[]}
 */
const cooldowns = [
    "minecraft:chorusfruit",
    "minecraft:ender_pearl",
    "minecraft:goat_horn",
    "minecraft:shield",
    "minecraft:wind_charge"
];

[shy leaf]

meh im using custom cooldown categories so

[round bone]

you have to add them to this array

there's not really any other solution in API to remove all of these cooldowns

[shy leaf]

there are like 40 categories to add but

meh ive had worse

[round bone]

at this point you can build yourself a small API

[shy leaf]

sounds a bit overkill for one functionality

[round bone]

import { Player } from "@minecraft/server";

/**
 * @type {readonly string[]}
 */
const categories = [
    "minecraft:chorusfruit",
    "minecraft:ender_pearl",
    "minecraft:goat_horn",
    "minecraft:shield",
    "minecraft:wind_charge"
    // all these categories
];

class PlayerServer {
    static resetItemCooldowns(/** @type {Player} */player) {
        for (const cooldownCategory of categories) {
            player.startItemCooldown(cooldownCategory, 0);
        };
    };
};

export { PlayerServer };

[round bone]

to not repeat yourself later

[shy leaf]

to be more specific the cooldown reset only happens when you use a special item

so

yeah

actually i should do that lol, dont wanna make that one item code in particular to look larger than rest of the code

[abstract cave]

umm, how do I summon an entity with scripts

[shy leaf]

whatcha trying?

Okay understood sorry

[sudden nest]

idk what i am doing everytime xp

Internet so slow

Thanks

[fiery solar]

Adding the ticking area only starts loading the chunks. You have to wait for them to be loaded. If you're using beta API you can use dimension.fillBlocks, which will throw an error if the chunks aren't loaded yet.

[feral minnow]

can i use getBlocks to get all blocks in the world?

without needing to load them

[wary edge]

You mean every block in the registry? Or do you mean outside loaded chunks?

[feral minnow]

outside the loaded chunks

so you just afk the player

[wary edge]

Last i checked you cant get outside loaded chunks

[distant tulip]

getBlocks have allowUnloadedChunks parameter
but getBlocks return only positions
you still need to deal with that

[feral minnow]

what do you mean

so i cant getBlock for the unloaded chunk?

[abstract cave]

    player.dimension.spawnEntity({ identifier: "minecraft:pig" }, location())

do i make an object inside location

and is there a neater way to do this

{x:number,y:number,z:number}

[abstract cave]

so I'm making an object

inside an object

or do I put it into a constant anddo it that way

[distant tulip]

    player.dimension.spawnEntity({ identifier: "minecraft:pig" }, {x:number,y:number,z:number})

[abstract cave]

thx but can I put it into a const

const spawmEntity = player.dimesion.spawnEntity();
spawnEntity = {...}

Will this work

[solar dagger]

Heh

[distant tulip]

bruh what

const entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity({ identifier: "minecraft:pig" }, {x:number,y:number,z:number})

change number to a number

[abstract cave]

ok, sorry my js knowledge is janky

[distant tulip]

it is alr
you should take a basic js course

[solar dagger]

What are you trying to do with that?

[abstract cave]

I have but its still new to me so I'm polishing my js skills with scripts

[abstract cave]

me?

[solar dagger]

[distant tulip]

btw spawnEntity is not object it is a function

[abstract cave]

im trying to make an item shoot a projectile when I rightclick

[solar dagger]

Oh

Bro I got you

[abstract cave]

am I doing it right?

[solar dagger]

well that only spawns the entity, you need to get the location numbers right

and since you're using an item you might want to spawn it in front of the player

[abstract cave]

also if I set it to 0, 0, 0 will it spawn on the player or on the world coords

[distant tulip]

kinda
but you are just spawning it there is a shot function and it is better to spawn it in head location

[solar dagger]

it spawns it in the dimension coordinates 0,0,0

[abstract cave]

bruh

[distant tulip]

no
give me a minute and i will write something for u

[abstract cave]

okee

[solar dagger]

ye so you need to get the player's head position

[distant tulip]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(async event => {
  const { source, itemStack } = event;

  const power = 1
  const velocity = Vector3Multiply(source.getViewDirection(), power)

  const location = Vector3Add(source.getHeadLocation(), source.getViewDirection())
  const arrow = source.dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:arrow", location)
  const projectile = arrow.getComponent('projectile');
  projectile.shoot(velocity)
})

function Vector3Add(a, b) {
  return { x: a.x + b.x, y: a.y + b.y, z: a.z + b.z }
}

function Vector3Multiply(a, b) {
  return { x: a.x * b, y: a.y * b, z: a.z * b }
}

[abstract cave]

thanks so much

whoa this is uhhh...

[distant tulip]

change the power to change the velocity
also there is a lot of parameters in the projectile component
like gravity and other things

[abstract cave]

after the projectile const I don't understand anything, lol

[distant tulip]

the last functions is just to add and multiply vector3 ({x:number,y:number,z:number})
the shot function is a function that receive velocity and shot the projectile accordingly

[abstract cave]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-what-que-recalculando-loading-gif-19097337

but why

[distant tulip]

this why i need to add

[hushed ravine]

Does @minecraft/math contain Vector as well?

[distant tulip]

the multiply is kinda obvious

[hushed ravine]

nvm

[distant tulip]

it dose but it is a external library now

check the pined messages

[hushed ravine]

How do I use @minecraft/math

[feral minnow]

limit?

is there a way to load/generate chunk without needing the player to go to the position

[hushed ravine]

Do I have to include it in the bundled JS file?

Answer to my question: yes

[distant tulip]

yeah
but there is some vector3 class people coded here
check the pined messages

[hushed ravine]

I just used that NPM package and bundled it how I usually would

Also, can I change gamerules without using commands?

The gamerules fields in World seems to be read-only

[distant tulip]

you can

huh

let me see

[hushed ravine]

Wait

NVM

What about the difficulty?

[distant tulip]

lol all your questions end up with nvm

[hushed ravine]

I always end up finding out myself. I don't know why I ask instantly qwq

[distant tulip]

nope

[hazy nebula]

How to use dimension.fillBlock?

[solar dagger]

Same

[hushed ravine]

Is there any way to load chunks? Even by using commands

I need this because the function I made requires it when 0 0 isn't loaded due to the location being in the ocean

function getHighestOverworldBlock(x: number, z: number) {
  return server.world
    .getDimension("overworld")
    .getBlockFromRay(
      { x, y: 319, z },
      { x: 0, y: -1, z: 0 },
      { maxDistance: 320 },
    )?.block;
}

[wary edge]

Tickingarea

[hushed ravine]

Like this?

[wary edge]

Ye

[frigid cape]

Hello, does anyone know how I can get the player's hunger percentage with a script?

[fallow rivet]

Item lore limit is 50 letters, is it possible to increase it?

[valid ice]

no

[grand heart]

tameable component is undefined on wolf, why?

[unique dragon]

not possible

[frigid cape]

oh well, thanks

[frigid cape]

Would it be possible with commands?

[unique dragon]

i don't think it's possible to get the hunger percentage by any way

only modding

[twilit crag]

because in wolves' json the tameable component is in their wild component group instead of in "components", and thus gets removed when they get tamed

[grand heart]

i... can you rephrase I didn't understand im sorry

[twilit crag]

only wild wolves have the tameable component

[grand heart]

spawned wolves have?

[twilit crag]

yes

[grand heart]

it's not yet tamed so it's wild yet it's still an error

my code

let wolfie = overworld.spawnEntity("minecraft:wolf", player.location);
wolfie.getComponent("minecraft:tameable").tame(player);

console error

... TypeError: cannot read property 'tame' of undefined ..

the wolfie is spawned, yet no tame

[twilit crag]

try putting system.run around wolfie.getComponent("minecraft:tameable").tame(player);

i mean

let wolfie = overworld.spawnEntity("minecraft:wolf", player.location);
system.run(()=>wolfie.getComponent("minecraft:tameable").tame(player));

[grand heart]

oyyy you solved it thanks so much!

[twilit crag]

np, it's basically because the wild component group of the wolf isn't added instantly

so you delay the taming a little with system.run

[wheat condor]

ok so basically you can add a ticking area only if the area is currently ticking and there is a limit, so basically if the area is larger than 64x64 blocks you need to teleport you in one side and then add a ticking area then teleport on the other side and add another tickingarea then remove the areas, is s bit complicated becouse there isnt any way to start loading a chunk in bedrock edition without using the player to render it

[grand heart]

ohhh ohh i get it now if the component is still being added from component group or something. thank you!

[wheat condor]

ill make it simpler

if area < 64x64 : fill.

if area > 64x64 : add the firts tickingarea, teleport the player in the remaining part, add the second ticking area,(more area uncovered more tickingareas), fill all the area(if fill is more than the limit just do 2 times fill), remove all ticking areas

if area > ten times 64x64 : add the firts tickingarea, teleport the player in the remaining part, add the second ticking area,(more area uncovered more tickingareas), fill all the area(if fill is more than the limit just do 2 times fill), remove all ticking areas. redo the process for the rest

remember to add like 5 ticks of delay between all the operations to optimize it or the game will crash
or just add a menu with ticks based on the device to make slower (40 ticks) less laggy for mobile players and faster (3 to 5 ticks) for pc players
@hazy nebula

and use scripting to fill

[true isle]

how to i play an animation like the vanilla axe swing when stripping custom logs instead of the awkward place only lol

[cinder shadow]

you make your own 😔

[true isle]

? im confused why i have to make my own animation when using bonemeal does the item swing thing

[distant tulip]

hard coded

[true isle]

whats the difference theyre both items

[distant tulip]

the swing animation is hard coded

[true isle]

right i know that. but why does bonemeal do the swing when in a script and using an axe doesnt

[cinder shadow]

They are two different items

[grand heart]

how to add wolf armor to wolf using scripting

[buoyant wolf]

Try using ItemEquippableComponent on the wolf entity

[dense skiff]

"@minecraft/vanilla-data" doesn't need to be in the pack's manifest dependencies, does it?

import { MinecraftItemTypes } from "@minecraft/vanilla-data";
is throwing
[ReferenceError: Module [@minecraft/vanilla-data] not found. Native module error or file not found.]

[wary edge]

You need to bundle it

It's not a module technically

[dense skiff]

bundle it?

[grand heart]

tried it equppable is undefined

[somber cedar]

https://jaylydev.github.io/posts/bundle-minecraft-scripts-esbuild/

[buoyant wolf]

Maybe make a full post for this one and include your code

[neat hound]

you will need to npm it @ your scripts folder to get the download of it. If you are doing JS, may need to make a package.json with {} in it, then run npm init, then npm the vanilla data... then the vanilla data js file isn deep in there, can pull out or reference it.... if ts.... well.. however that works, you still need to get that node-modules folder installed.... I had to deal with this frustration the other day. King and Kiro has to hold my hand thru it.

I suggest running a formatter on the index.js file cause it's ugly-style...

[dense skiff]

Thanks all

I've also got an entity that looks like this:

    "format_version": "1.20.40",
    "minecraft:entity": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "canopy:probe",
            "is_spawnable": false,
            "is_summonable": true,
            "is_experimental": false,
            "properties":{"canopy:light":{"type": "int","range":[0, 15],"default":0}}
        },
        "components": {
                  // components
                }
          }
}```
But things like projectiles and player hits still interact with it. Can I make it even more invisible?

[cold grove]

Disable hitbox

#1067869022273667152

Not channel topic

[amber granite]

Agree

[feral minnow]

does adding ticking area on ungenerated chunk makes it generate the chunk?

[wary edge]

No, you would need to have a player to generate the world

[feral minnow]

so i need to teleport the players there?

how about simulated players?

[wary edge]

I do not know

[distant tulip]

simulated players work like players
they can load chunks

[shy leaf]

how can i add custom armor equip sounds

i could use itemUse event but that wont work when wearing the armor directly in inventory

[fiery solar]

You can load chunks using ticking areas without having a player at all with BDS. Does that not work the same in the regular game?

[wary edge]

Will that generate the terrain?

[feral minnow]

how about generate

[rich kernel]

im not sure to understand how to use this

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(bruh => {
  world.sendMessage("no way")
})
``` can't call it like that

[shy leaf]

i honestly dont feel major difference between beforeEvents and afterEvents

[rich kernel]

i can't even use afterEvent

[shy leaf]

other than using beforeEvents for custom components

[shy leaf]

bru

why

[rich kernel]

idk

[shy leaf]

[wary edge]

@rich kernel are you using the beta apis?

[rich kernel]

no

[wary edge]

There's your answer

[rich kernel]

oh no

[wary edge]

PlayerInteract is in beta APIs

[shy leaf]

[rich kernel]

is there any way I can know if the player is interacting with a block (like itemUseOn but with the hand also)?

without beta

[shy leaf]

theres afterEvents for playerInteractWithBlock

if you can use afterEvents that is

[rich kernel]

I think I need beta for that unfortunately

[shy leaf]

its on stable

its beforeEvents thats in beta API

wait no

both are in stable

[granite badger]

The class is stable, but there’s no way to access that class

[rich kernel]

that's weird

[shy leaf]

WHY MOJANG

WHY?????

WTF

[rich kernel]

[wary edge]

I recommend using stirante's website, far more easier to understand what is and isn't stable: https://stirante.com/script/

[shy leaf]

yeah i should unpin microsoft docs off my chrome

so called creators of one of the largest operating system

[granite badger]

shameless plug https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/

[wary edge]

You should still keep it, just not for scripting

[shy leaf]

meh i can just leave it open in the tab

[shy leaf]

also i can do this, right?

wrong reply but its close enough

[granite badger]

itemuse triggers when player rights clicks the jtem (eg eat)

[shy leaf]

and no trigger for wearing the armor itself?

[granite badger]

probably not. You probably have to make your own event to listen for that armor in the slot

[shy leaf]

sounds like runInterval thing

[inland merlin]

Sounds like it

I have a feeling they def want to add inventory events one day. I bet it's alot of backend work.

[shy leaf]

yeah

[fiery solar]

Yeah, just tested it in a random location of a brand new world. I can get any block in a chunk that has never been visited by a player.

I guess I can't be sure if that's proof that it generated the whole chunk though... Might have to try to load the data in a world editor

[shy leaf]

god, i dont like using runInterval for events

im in boomerang level of fear

[wary edge]

To my knowledge, the game generates terrain when a player loads it in

[shy leaf]

not knowing when the game will kick me out for making a tiny mistake in math

[neat hound]

"tiny"

[remote oyster]

All part of the process in learning 🤪

[shy leaf]

its a damn 50/50 chance too

[neat hound]

nah

[shy leaf]

the game will either have mercy and do watchdog

or my phone will run out of memory

and the content log's last words would be Out of Memory

[neat hound]

There is logic behind everything... else nothing in the world would work

[inland merlin]

It would be "out of m.."

[remote oyster]

Lol, I hope not. Trouble shooting memory leaks can be a daunting task for new/future developers.

[inland merlin]

Lol

[shy leaf]

all of my out of memory errors were from not being able to clear runinterval and were related with texts lmao

[inland merlin]

I've crashed the world more then enough times lmao

[shy leaf]

this is way too relatable

like when i was optimizing the code

[granite badger]

how do you guys managed to use up all the script memory

[shy leaf]

i saw that one block of code, thinking "why did i put this here? " and removed it

[remote oyster]

It only allows 250 MB correct?

[shy leaf]

not even script memory, it was my entire device memory

[remote oyster]

That's really bad haha

[shy leaf]

[inland merlin]

When your screen is full of thousands of new intervals... your fkd

[shy leaf]

my phone UI literally restarted

basically i was making dynamic health bar using nametags and i had to keep track of the entity's health using runInterval

you know the rest

[near siren]

Didnt they add something new to get the top most block?

[remote oyster]

Top most block of what? To be more specific lol.

[near siren]

Just to get the top most block from a location

[wary edge]

Yes they did

[near siren]

Do you know what class its a part of?

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0-beta.1.21.30-preview.21/classes/Dimension.html#getTopmostBlock

[near siren]

Ah, thank you

[inland merlin]

Dang that's so much better then previous raycast

[remote oyster]

Ah, it's preview. Would explain why I couldn't find it lol. I was looking at getBlockAbove with Ray cast options haha.

[rich kernel]

we can't set damage on custom items?

[wary edge]

Wdym?

[rich kernel]

waht does data-driven items mean?

[wary edge]

Means custom items

[rich kernel]

ohh lmao

do I need beta to make it works?

[shy leaf]

whatcha trying though

[wary edge]

Seems like a #1067869136606220288 questiob

[rich kernel]

let dura = item.getComponent("durability")
dura.damage = 50;

this is what I got but im not sure if this is what im supposed to do

[shy leaf]

hmm i could give you the code but its in my tablet rn

and im outside the home

[rich kernel]

ahh np

[shy leaf]

brb ill check smth

[rich kernel]

alr

[shy leaf]

so damage part represents how much 'damage' the item has gotten

(duh)

but if you were to add damage (or in other words, reduce durability), you need to add values on it

dura.damage += 50 iirc

cant tell if this is how you do cuz i only touched durability component for once

[rich kernel]

this was it and I also needed to update the item in the mainhand slot

[shy leaf]

oh right

itemStack

[runic crypt]

guys anyone has a addon/script that introduces command cooldown ?

please i need it

[shy leaf]

sounds simple to make

[runic crypt]

can you do it ?

like not vanilla commands

things like !kit

these

[shy leaf]

both vanilla and custom

[runic crypt]

wait really ?

[shy leaf]

but rn no i cant use my tablet rn

[runic crypt]

can you tell me how to ?

[shy leaf]

you need to use an event that triggers upon chat send

[runic crypt]

ok

[shy leaf]

its in beta API, and make sure to use beforeEvents for it

[runic crypt]

imma search it up

if you get the time can you pls make it ?

[shy leaf]

no sorry i have other stuff to do

[runic crypt]

oki np

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
const player = eventData.sender;
if (!player.hasTag('Admin')) return;
switch (eventData.message) {
case '!gmc':
eventData.cancel = true;
player.runCommandAsync('gamemode c');
break;
case '!gms':
eventData.cancel = true;
player.runCommandAsync('gamemode s');
break;
default: break;
}
});

where do i add the cooldown in this ?

[shy leaf]

you could use those

#1067535608660107284 message

[runic crypt]

can i use scoreboards ?

[shy leaf]

i dont recommend it

[runic crypt]

like instead of has tag

i use scoreboards ?

[runic crypt]

it will be fun 💀

[shy leaf]

no

[runic crypt]

how do i do it ?

[shy leaf]

trust me

[runic crypt]

come on i wanna try :)

[shy leaf]

use setDynamicProperty and getDynamicProperty

instead of scoreboard

[runic crypt]

idl what taht is 😭

[shy leaf]

its like scoreboard but without scoreboard

[runic crypt]

im kinda new to scripting

[shy leaf]

ok uh let me explain tbis

[runic crypt]

can u add it in the code if possible ?

[shy leaf]

uh idk, i dont have your code so

except that

tell me what you need scoreboard for

[runic crypt]

like when score "cooldown" hits 0 then a text msg is sent saying you can use the command again

if player tries to use command before then a msg saying "no" is sent

[shy leaf]

ok then i think you dont need dynamic property for this too

gimme a second

[runic crypt]

oki thanks :)

after u dont can u tag me ?

[shy leaf]

#1067535608660107284 message

[runic crypt]

i saw but idk how to implement it :(

[shy leaf]

uh

should be easy though

[runic crypt]

is it possible to make it so that instead of checking if player has admin tag it checks if player's score is 0 ??

@shy leaf

[shy leaf]

please for the gods sake dont use scoreboard for scripting

[runic crypt]

i wanna :(

[shy leaf]

not to mention i dunno how to manipulate scoreboard in scripts

cuz i dont use em

[runic crypt]

what was the idea u were suggesting ?

can you implement that one ?

[shy leaf]

give me a second then

[runic crypt]

oki

tag me when u make it ?

[shy leaf]

ok

[subtle cove]

Anyone benchmerked item dynamic prop so far yet?

[prisma shard]

I don't think it's possible, hunger component doesn't exist at this moment.

[shy leaf]

@runic crypt

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const player = eventData.sender;
    const time = Date.now();
    if (!player.hasTag('Admin')) return;
    if (!(player['cooldown'] > time)) {
    switch (eventData.message) {
        case '!gmc':
            eventData.cancel = true;
            player.runCommandAsync('gamemode c');
            player['cooldown'] = time + 15000
            break;
        case '!gms':
            eventData.cancel = true;
            player.runCommandAsync('gamemode s');
            player['cooldown'] = time + 15000
            break;
        default: break;
    }
    } else player.sendMessage('Command is in cooldown')
});```

cant guarantee itll work

[prisma shard]

°-°
beforeEvents is for running some code "before" the event occurs and canceling the event.

afterEvents is for running some code "after" the event happens.

[shy leaf]

ye but there are very few beforeEvents

compared to after one

and aside from that

i dont feel the difference

[prisma shard]

😭

why

[shy leaf]

like

i dont need canceling events that much

maybe in future

[prisma shard]

fr. there are less beforeevents compared to aftervents

[prisma shard]

let dura = item?.getComponent("durability")
dura.damage += 50;

[runic crypt]

thanks :)

[shy leaf]

wait

[runic crypt]

ok

[shy leaf]

i think i made the chat to cancel regardless of the command

[runic crypt]

well uhhh

also how do i adjust the time ?

and does it send a msg on how much time is left ?

[shy leaf]

see the 15000 thing?

[runic crypt]

yea

[shy leaf]

its in milliseconds

[runic crypt]

ohkkk

tahts 3min right ??

[shy leaf]

no, 15 seconds

1000ms is 1 second

i edited the code, check it again

[runic crypt]

how do i make it show how much time is left tho ?

[shy leaf]

you could do
player['cooldown'] - time

itll show in milliseconds so youd need to divide it by 1000

[runic crypt]

} else player.sendMessage('Command is in cooldown')

[subtle cove]

Since it's attached on player, u can access that anywhere

[runic crypt]

here ?

[runic crypt]

oki i can do that 🫡

[shy leaf]

player.sendMessage(`Command is in cooldown for ${player['cooldown'] - time}`)

[runic crypt]

oki

lemme add it

so now it will work ?

imma try it out

[shy leaf]

shrug

you can test it

[tiny tartan]

use native methods bruuh player.setGameMode('creative')

[shy leaf]

im not the one who made the base code

[runic crypt]

@shy leaf
didn't work :<

[shy leaf]

☠️

[runic crypt]

no i wanna make daily kits

like i can do !kit

get a kit

but i cant do it for the next 24hrs

is it possible ?

[tiny tartan]

any error?

[shy leaf]

can you show content logs

also are you sure youre using beta api

[subtle cove]

Prob the undefined > time

[shy leaf]

oh wait yeah that

[tiny tartan]

probably required privilege

error

[shy leaf]

also that since its beforeEvents

[subtle cove]

if ((player["cooldown"] ??= 0) < time)
