Script API General

[dull shell]

no that was my entire js file

[slow walrus]

what the

where are your if statements

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

/** @type {import("@minecraft/server").BlockCustomComponent} */
const CreativeModeOnlyBlockComponent = {
    onPlayerDestroy(event) {
        if (event.block.typeId === "jay:coal_ore" && event.entity.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
            entity.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ say broke coal ore");        
        }
    }
}

plus that event is wrong anyway

it's player not entity

and block doesn't exist

[winter plaza]

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

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(event => {
  const itemStack = event.itemStack;
  if (itemStack.typeId === "minecraft:diamond_sword") {
    const itemData = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:display_name");
    if (itemData) {
      itemData.setLore(["Custom Description 1", "Custom Description 2"]);
    }
  }
});

help

[slow walrus]

it should be like this:

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

/** @type {import("@minecraft/server").BlockCustomComponent} */
const CreativeModeOnlyBlockComponent = {
    onPlayerDestroy(event) {
        if (event.destroyedBlockPermutation.type.id === "jay:coal_ore") {
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("say broke coal ore"); 
        }
    }
}

@dull shell

[dull shell]

oooo i forgot about if statments

sorry im new to js

[dull shell]

yeah its still not working im not sure

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

const CreativeModeOnlyBlockComponent = {
    onPlayerDestroy(event) {
        if (event.destroyedBlockPermutation.type.id === "jay:coal_ore") {
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("say broke coal ore"); 
        }
    }
}```

i removed the thing up top

[slow walrus]

did you initialize it?

what are you trying to do anyway

[random flint]

cache if the position xyz in that location was a cake

[dull shell]

im trying to make it so when I break my custom block it runs a command but im not getting any errors logs

[dull shell]

wdym

[dull shell]

i want the player to get added a score when the block is blocken

[random flint]

Did you register the custom component? Did you use it in your block.json?

[slow walrus]

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

const CreativeModeOnlyBlockComponent = {
    onPlayerDestroy(event) {
        if (event.destroyedBlockPermutation.type.id === "jay:coal_ore") {
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("say broke coal ore"); 
        }
    }
}

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent(
        "jay:coal_ore_component",
        CreativeModeOnlyBlockComponent
    )
})

then in your block.json add

"minecraft:custom_components": [
    "jay:coal_ore_component"
]

[dull shell]

{
    "format_version": "1.21.40",
    "minecraft:block": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "jay:coal_ore",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "construction", 
                "is_hidden_in_commands": false
            }
        },
        "components": {
        },
        "minecraft:custom_components": [
        "jay:coal_ore_component"
        ]
    }
}```

[random flint]

Put it inside "components", not outside of it

[dull shell]

amen 🙏

thank you guys sm

so then to add more just keep copy and pasting it?

then changing it from jay:coal_ore to wtv

[distant gulch]

Is it possible to attach a sign to a wall?

[chilly fractal]

Now I'm 100% sure it's permutation

Yessss! This is my time to shine!

[distant gulch]

well yes thats what i assumed

however ```js
export type BirchStandingSignStates = Pick<BlockStateSuperset, 'ground_sign_direction'>;

Dont seem to support anything but the direction itself

I had to settle on this

):

[chilly fractal]

Nuh uh

[distant gulch]

yuh huh

[chilly fractal]

Noooooo!!!! Why not let me resolve it for you??? Why resolve it (fades away like Thanos even tho he not evil)

[distant gulch]

what do you suggest?

[chilly fractal]

I mean, could it work? ```js
block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("cardinal_direction", "west"));

[distant gulch]

ill need to try that

[chilly fractal]

I gtg cuz it's 5 am here

I just fell asleep and I now woke up randomly

[distant gulch]

good night

[sterile epoch]

does anyone know what reach the player has since ik it changes depending on if you're sprinting, walking or still

[dim tusk]

Wadahel

[chilly fractal]

Real

[dim tusk]

Because I'm a good guy, I'll help you BUT if ever you're using it again... I won't anymore.

[chilly fractal]

Lmao "minecraft:display_name" maybe in a different universe after Flashpoint occurs lol

(You'd only understand if you watched the flash up to season 4 I believe)

item.nameTag & item.setLore have been real quiet since his code appeared fr

Worst part is he is setting the lore to the component (that does not exist)

[dim tusk]

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

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
  const equipment = source.getEquipment('equippable');
  if (itemStack.typeId === "minecraft:diamond_sword") {
   itemStack.setLore(["Custom Description 1", "Custom Description 2"]);
   equipment.setEquipment('Mainhand', itemStack);
  }
});

[chilly fractal]

I don't think lore needs you to regive the the item,... but whatever.

[dim tusk]

I think you need it too since you're modifying the item

I don't know tbh, because I rarely use lore ask @valid ice he's addicted to it

[chilly fractal]

I mean, iirc I think nameTag & lore don't need you to regive the item. Other things like enchants & durability and stuff like that requires regiving the item.

I used it not long ago and I didn't need to regive the item.

[chilly fractal]

I wonder why?

[subtle cove]

ContainerSlot ItemStack difference

[dim tusk]

Thanks but I don't need to cache it... I fixed it in under 3 minutes, I just used this since it returns air Soo if it doesn't exist put 7 instead because max is 6 block.permutation.getState('bite_counter') || 7

Yes very simple fix

[chilly fractal]

Uhhh I think containerSlot returns the index of the itemstack in the inventory

Not sure tho

[dim tusk]

No. ContainerSlot is different than ItemStack

It's like getEquipmentSlot and getEquipment

[chilly fractal]

Moyang be confusin' sometimes fr

[chilly fractal]

(Love yall tho)

[dim tusk]

Tbh what you said doesn't make any sense because you're saying when we modify items you don't need to set the item back to slot so it shoudl work globally then....

Imma test it really quick I'm on my phone so it's good

[subtle cove]

ContainerSlot is the present instance of the slot like slotIndex 0

[chilly fractal]

Idk man. I said "iirc"

[subtle cove]

ItemStack is a clone of an item

[chilly fractal]

K....?

I didn't ask for the difference........ I know that they are different.................. I thought you were asking so I gave you my assumption.

Ima go now cuz I gotta learn some good'ol heavy duty backend. (Php). Why do I call it that? Cuz it's syntax makes -1% sense! 😀

[dim tusk]

I tried it.

And..... It doesn't work without setting the item back to the slot

I luv how I can open mc fast but my internet is as slow a turtle

[subtle cove]

cus its all ItemStack...

[dim tusk]

Yes I know I just want confirmation

[subtle cove]

ok

[distant gulch]

getItem, getEquipment Method:
Purpose: Retrieves a read-only copy of an item's data
Behavior: Provides a snapshot of the item without enabling direct modifications
Recommended Use: When you need to inspect or reference item properties without altering the original inventory item

getSlot, getEquipmentSlot Method:
Purpose: Allows direct modification of an item's data within the inventory
Behavior: Returns a ContainerSlot instance that enables immediate and persistent changes
Recommended Use: When you need to update, replace, or manipulate the item in its original inventory slot

Key Distinction: getItem offers a non-destructive, read-only view, while getSlot provides a direct interface for inventory item manipulation.

Always choose the appropriate method based on whether your intention is to read or modify inventory items

[dim tusk]

Unnecessary butt k

[distant gulch]

This is essential: you should never retrieve a copy of an item, modify it, and then put it back

[dim tusk]

you should never? Wym?

Are you saying when you just want to set a lore into an item you literally need to use getEquipmentSlot or getSlot to such a simple thing?

[tawny jungle]

                    if (item) player.dimension.spawnItem(item, player.location)```
why is this giving me a bunch of items?

[dim tusk]

Are you running it continuously?

Even if you put 1 only but you run continuously it will give you more than that

[tawny jungle]

just on click in playerInteractWithBlock

[dim tusk]

Can I see it?

[tawny jungle]

oh yeah sry

    const blockAbove = block.above();
    const blockFaceValue = blockAbove.permutation?.getState("sci:block_face");
    const position = redstoneOreParticleSpawnPositions[blockFaceValue];
    const playerMainHandSlot = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment("Mainhand");
    const honeyFilled = block.permutation?.getState("sci:honey_filled")
    system.run(() => {
        if (block?.typeId === "sci:bee_nest_mini" && playerMainHandSlot?.typeId === "minecraft:honey_bottle" && honeyFilled === false && player.isSneaking) {
            block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("sci:honey_filled", true));
            if (player.getGameMode() === "survival") {
                if (playerMainHandSlot.amount === 1) {
                    player.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment("Mainhand", new ItemStack("minecraft:glass_bottle", 1));
                } else {
                    itemStack.amount--;
                    player.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment("Mainhand", itemStack);
                    const item = player.getComponent("inventory").container.addItem(new ItemStack("minecraft:glass_bottle", 1))
                    if (item) player.dimension.spawnItem(item, player.location)
                };
            };
        }
        if (block?.typeId === "sci:bee_nest_mini" && playerMainHandSlot?.typeId === "minecraft:glass_bottle" && honeyFilled === true) {
            block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("sci:honey_filled", false));
        }
    });
});

[dim tusk]

What's the purpose of the if (playerMainHandSlot.amount === 1)??

[tawny jungle]

i stole it from something else in my script

i was feeling lazy

but also it ensures it still runs even when it is the last item in the slot

[distant gulch]

As I said, ContainerSlot is specifically designed for directly modifying item data. Its usage is not complex, and the steps are actually fewer than retrieving an item's copy, modifying it, and then reinserting it

[ruby haven]

Is there a way to kill a player with a minimum health component through scripts cause I tried overding that component through json but it didn't work

[scarlet sable]

what allows a mob to break blocks in a script?

[scarlet sable]

for anyone looking fo the answer in the future it's minecraft:break_blocks

[cold grove]

Thats the json component

[scarlet sable]

yep

mb I used the wrong term

[dim tusk]

getEquipment is adding 2 lines only 😭

[dim tusk]

Are you setting it with component groups? You can't override health inside of components only

[buoyant canopy]

so when you define a really really large variable in the beginning of a script, and rarely use it, is it filling up a chunk of memory all that time for no reason?

[ruby haven]

Yes I used component groups so one for a normal health and one for a minimum health

[burnt robin]

please someone explain how this makes sense

ughhh

lemme fix the size

[dim tusk]

I feel like that's memory leaking...

[dim tusk]

Does the event run? If yes and it can't trigger means minimum doesn't work on the player just use the damage sensor and disable fatal and remove once you're done

[burnt robin]

(its sending what it logs without the number just the array)

[distant tulip]

it is not

[distant tulip]

yep

[dim tusk]

That's why I said I feel because I never did that in my life

[burnt robin]

how does this make any sense at all

[buoyant canopy]

is it better to load it at the beginning of a script or load it once you need it?

let's say you need to access it 10 times in one session but most of the time you won't need to access it.
isn't loading it and unloading it 10 times bad for performance?

[distant tulip]

in general it is better to pre-load stuff that may effect performance

[buoyant canopy]

if i preload everything, i am putting unnecessary load on the memory, if i don't, i am adding extra work for the CPU

[distant tulip]

what variable are we talking about here

[buoyant canopy]

a large array of objects

[warm mason]

How many kilobytes?

[buoyant canopy]

for an achievements system

[buoyant canopy]

i dunno

[warm mason]

Look at the file size

[buoyant canopy]

currently the file containing the array is 49 kilobytes but it will be larger

[distant tulip]

even a 1mb shouldn't be a problem to preload it

[buoyant canopy]

i also have another file for a similar system that is 66 kilobytes

[buoyant canopy]

so i shouldn't worry about preloading them all

[distant tulip]

no

[buoyant canopy]

is the file size the amount of memory used?

[warm mason]

no

[buoyant canopy]

or does it get compressed?

[buoyant canopy]

so how to calculate memory?

[warm mason]

Memory is just variables. You can create a 10 line code that creates an array of 1,000,000 objects that takes up half the memory

[warm mason]

In regular js there is such a thing as Blob, with which you can find out the size of a variable, but as far as I know this does not work in scriptAPI

[buoyant canopy]

let's say it's just a constant that doesn't change or get defined again throughout the process. will it consume exactly 49 kilobytes of memory

[warm mason]

I think a little more. Since this is not just text, but an object with methods and properties

[buoyant canopy]

only properties

[warm mason]

no

[buoyant canopy]

but in general it stays constant?

[warm mason]

if this is not true/false then there are methods

[buoyant canopy]

good to know

[buoyant canopy]

as long as the size of these methods is negligible

[warm mason]

Modern amounts of RAM are sufficient to accommodate your variable, but it seems to me that the debugger may complain about using too much memory

What does this variable look like?

[distant tulip]

you can use process.memoryUsage() in node js to get the memory usage

[warm mason]

I think the problem is more in Minecraft. Will it allow the use of a large amount of memory?

[buoyant canopy]

well it's not an array anymore, i change it into a string for ease of editing, and i have a function that converts it back into an array, so it's hard to let how does it look when it's loaded

but if i have to guess it looks like this: js [ { id: string, name: string, icon: number|string, require: [string] reward: undefined|string conditions: [string] } ]

[warm mason]

In short. Even if you have problems using memory. Do you have another option to do this?

[buoyant canopy]

what do you mean?

[warm mason]

The fact that you are trying to solve a problem that has no solution. You're already using the best option

[buoyant canopy]

i figured preloading large constants is best for cpu, but i thought the game was smarter for dealing with memory

but if 50kb is nothing for modern RAMs I don't really care much

[warm mason]

I have one variable weighing +- 30 kb and everything works fine

[distant tulip]

it is not 50kb
memory storage is not same as disk
but it shouldn't be a problem in this small scale

[buoyant canopy]

i know it's a little larger because of object methods but it's still negligible

one thing i am afraid of, when i import that constant to different scripts, does it take a chunk of memory for each one of them?

[distant tulip]

not sure how the import work tbh
let me look into it

[buoyant canopy]

i think it does, because if i mutate an imported object or array, it obviously doesn't affect other scripts

[distant tulip]

unless the export loaded it once and the imports return a reference to the same object 🤷‍♂️

@honest spear do you have any knowledge regarding this?

[honest spear]

do you think you can provide me more context

• whats you want to achieve
• whats is unexpected
• why do you think it should happen in different way

[buoyant canopy]

i don't think i understand?

[buoyant canopy]

@honest spear

[honest spear]

same file imported from different files has same isntance

so no copy of the module is created

if thats what do you mean

[buoyant canopy]

so does that give the importing files the ability to mutate the original module

[distant tulip]

he is importing a variable from another file and he is asking if calling that variable use any memory or just refer to the same

[honest spear]

no there is no way to mutate module object

its freezed

[buoyant canopy]

so how can my computer keep track of different versions of the same module if it isn't copied?

a mutated version for each file importing it

[honest spear]

there are no different versions (one script = one module)

[buoyant canopy]

...

let's say i have a file containing one exported object.
and i have 10 other scripts importing that same object.
now there is 10 mutated objects,
how are they handled by memory?

[honest spear]

objects are passed by reference so its only one object

[distant tulip]

they are probably referring to the same obj that got exported

[honest spear]

well there could be some cases when exported value is different, but only when you reassign that exported object

[buoyant canopy]

so am i referencing the 10 imported objects or the 1 exported object?

[honest spear]

like i said there is only one module instance for one file so doens't matter how many times and where do you import it its still all the same

so if exported object is "export const" then there is only one object in total of that type

also you can just test it if you don't believe me

¯_(ツ)_/¯

https://tenor.com/view/try-it-and-see-give-it-a-try-try-try-and-see-try-it-yourself-gif-24095805

[buoyant canopy]

i Know that, i will try to explain what i mean by an example:
when i import the object {fish: "large" }
and then mutate it to {fish: "medium" } in one file, and then i import it to another file, and mutate it to {fish: "samll" }
how does the memory look like at this point

[honest spear]

in all cases the memory would look like absolute mess bc thats how JS works, but anyway the object would remain the same

[distant tulip]

you are editing the same variable

[honest spear]

nah

you are editing the same obejct

[buoyant canopy]

i am not worried about the original object, i believe you that it doesn't get mutated

[honest spear]

it does gets

but mutability doesn't means its not the same object

here is example

[buoyant canopy]

my concern is the memory, does it have copies of it or not?

[honest spear]

pointer for that object is the same

but there were some copies bc you manipulated with string

and strings are bytes in memory

[buoyant canopy]

That's what i wanted to know

so in general it's best if i don't import large objects to multiple files.

[honest spear]

no

in general don't use large strings

don't*

object in memory has dynamic size

and object pointer it self is relatively small

[buoyant canopy]

computer memory is a real pain, good thing we don't have to worry about it in js

and other high level programming languages

[honest spear]

let data1 = {test: "test"};
let data2 = data1;

data1.test = 5;
console.log(data1); // {test: 5}
console.log(data2); // {test: 5}

the object is the same even you you changed the property

[honest spear]

Well looks like you kinda worry tho

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[distant tulip]

lol

[buoyant canopy]

my bad

[honest spear]

np if you have any more questions just ping me anytime

[buoyant canopy]

these questions come to me while coding and i can't help but feel bad for not optimizing something that's really obvious

[buoyant canopy]

thank you

[honest spear]

just imagine how bad would JS be if it would do the copies like that

sorry to be annoying but what the hell is going on

[buoyant canopy]

i need that

[distant gulch]

what is this for a language

nvm its c++

[distant tulip]

off-topic

[distant tulip]

or c 🤷‍♂️

[distant gulch]

yep

[vital halo]

how do i see what item the player is holding? i'm trying to hook onto playerBreakBlock to see if they have certain equipment on

[warm mason]

let item = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment("Mainhand")

[vital halo]

thank you so so much ^^

i do feel kinda bad asking so many questions lmao

i appreciate all the help i'm being given

[burnt robin]

this was @server-net so its script api, not off topic

[neat hound]

WTF... faceLocation in PlayerInteractWithBlock is Vector3 Absolute world position and faceLocation in PlayerPlaceBlock is the final delta from center of block. Thus making my class useless for what I need... I can fix, but dang...

No wonder this stuff is still beta.. and they did not even provide faceLocation in the blockRegistry version of place block, which would be dope

[wary edge]

Its an easy fix, annoying, but easy fix.

[valid ice]

[neat hound]

Can't fix the not providing it for custom components tho.. which is why I have to do my slabs in the regular events... (cause I am providing vertical positions)

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.16.0/classes/BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.html
?

[distant tulip]

you need to provide more info

[neat hound]

onPlaceBlock.. not interact

[wary edge]

What are you trying to do exactly?

[neat hound]

Slab, that can be placed horizontal or vertical and depending on where you click on a block. So think of a block divided as a 4x4 grid... so that the middle means flat - just use the block face, but the edges can place it perpendicular, etc.....

I've made my block with with Interact (1st time, cancelling all tho), but there is a weird visual lag when placing a block, like it undoes a regular placement... I can see it.

[wary edge]

That seems like a simple thing. Just cancel block placement via beforeOnPlayer place custom component. Grab interaction faceLoc -> set block.

[neat hound]

I did

I am testing via using the block placement right now... I will change it back to the other to show later... I made a class that can take either event and pull out the information and configure, so there is one function to do the work either way.

But still the blockRegistry component for placing a block does not have faceLocation at all... like they forgot (or did not remember that I think outside of all the boxes)

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.16.0/classes/PlayerPlaceBlockAfterEvent.html

Im blind...where does it show faceLoc?

[neat hound]

Before Events

Beta

[wary edge]

Ideally...this all would have been a block trait.

[neat hound]

I use the block trait... my strictly vanilla version does not need the scripts at all... whatever block face you stick it on is where it goes, vertical or hoizontal

but in order to do like real slabs I can add the vertical half... but for the vertical slabs, I need a non-provided horizontal-half

thus, I need face location to tell me where they clicked and I can figure it out myself

and then for special placing, I use the information of where clicked and the block-face trait of the slab they clicked on (if added to another of same type) for more fun stuff

Believe it or not, this is all for my Auto-Sifter Add-on.... cause can sift concrete powder... and powder needs to become concrete if water touches... thus you can make slabs from 1 to 15 height... so need a way to place them... I am loving workin on this tho

After working... will re-use code for my actual more-slabs add-on

[alpine nebula]

Can I somehow load unloaded chunks using coordinates of block in it?

[fiery solar]

You can, you have to use the /tickingarea command.
You just need to add the tickingarea (using dimension.runCommand), then wait for the block you need to access to get loaded.

[vital halo]

Is there a way to drop items with scripting?

I imagine

I also need to know about summoning entities with this but-

I have been looking a lot at the documentation and that's given me many answers, but I don't know what I don't know and am unsure where to begin

[distant tulip]

dimension.spawnItem()

[distant tulip]

dimension.spawnEntity()

[vital halo]

thank you so so much

[dim tusk]

Hey Quick question

I want a function to return true otherwise false if the player is holding an item with data but idk how, I don't want to use tags for thsi

function waterBottle(player) {
   try {

Kinda like this lol

I just want it to return true or false lol

[distant tulip]

just make a new itemstack and use isStackableWith

[dim tusk]

Small snippet? Lmao, I'm lazy today

[dim tusk]

I'm lying that I'm lazy, I don't really know how to use that shi at ALL...

[tawny jungle]

how laggy are permutations?

like a lot of them

like 200,000

wait

wrong channel

[wary edge]

This is more of a #1067876857103536159 question. And to answer, its 65536 is the recommended limit.

[tawny jungle]

i see

thanks

[distant tulip]

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

    //clear unnecessary data that will interfere with isStackableWith
    heldItem.nameTag = undefined
    heldItem.setLore()
    heldItem.clearDynamicProperties()

    if(heldItem.isStackableWith(bottle)) return true
}

wait... is minecraft:bottle for empty bottle

[dim tusk]

Permutation is limited you can't have 200k

[dim tusk]

yes it's supposed to be minecraft:potion

[distant tulip]

not limited just break the addons

[tawny jungle]

im running 400k as i speak (optimizing in progress)

[distant tulip]

alr
test that and let me know

[dim tusk]

Oh yeah...

Maximum Amount Per Block
A block cannot have more than 65,536 permutations (equivalent to 4 states with 16 values each). Exceeding this limit will result in a content log error and some states being absent from your block.

Maximum Amount Per World
A world should not have more than 65,536 block permutations registered (not necessarily placed). Exceeding this limit will result in the following content log warning:

World with over 65536 block permutations may degrade performance. Current world has XXXXX permutations.

[tawny jungle]

right

i forgot about that bit of documentation

[dim tusk]

That's why I said you can't have 200k

[tawny jungle]

of course, that makes sense

[dim tusk]

Even if the block states is past the limit, you can't apply that state on the block

[distant tulip]

in the same block, yeah

[dim tusk]

Hmm, that's what I'm saying earlier

[dim tusk]

I'll test it later I have exams ☠️

[dim tusk]

I kinda remember... Potions aren't stackables

[distant tulip]

🤷‍♂️ maybe this mean that don't matter either

[dim tusk]

function isWaterBottle(player) {
    const heldItem = player.getComponent("inventory").container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
    if (!heldItem || heldItem.typeId !== "minecraft:potion") return false;
    const bottle = new ItemStack("minecraft:potion");

    heldItem.nameTag = undefined;
    heldItem.setLore();
    heldItem.clearDynamicProperties();

    return heldItem.isStackableWith(bottle);
}

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        console.error(isWaterBottle(player));
    }
});```

Did I do something wrong? It still returns false even if I'm holding every type of potion

[distant tulip]

log all these
heldItem.typeId
heldItem.isStackableWith(bottle)
bottle.isStackableWith(bottle)
to the console?

[bright dove]

How do you dynamically get the id of a block ?

[wary edge]

Elaborate.

[dim tusk]

It returns false

All of them

[random flint]

if (block.typeId === "minecraft:tnt")
world.sendMessage("kaboom")

i tried this but it didnt work, do u know why?

 const regenPot = ItemStack.createPotion({ effect: "poison"});

Ah, has to be capitalised. My bad.

[marsh berry]

Can anyone point me to a resource to read up on how node.ja works for a Minecraft addon? How to setup so that none native code can work etz?

[slow walrus]

minecraft doesn't use NodeJS

[random flint]

Minecraft: Bedrock Edition uses its own version of JavaScript, which is based on QuickJS. It uses the ECMAScript module (ESM) system for organizing and loading code, which allows for a more modular and organized approach to writing scripts for the game.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/api-environment

[marsh berry]

Thank you. Question thorough. How are other people able to use node.js modules on addons to use things like fs-extra if node dont work?

[distant gulch]

Has anyone ever noticed that the debugger does not work normally on Linux. What should i do?

Has the debugger ever worked on Android apks?

[granite badger]

https://github.com/Mojang/minecraft-debugger/?tab=readme-ov-file#ensure-that-the-minecraft-bedrock-edition-client-can-make-loopback-requests
You have to enable the UWP loopback, not sure how that's gonna work on linux

[distant gulch]

Linux doesn't have UWP apps

It's more like APK port with libs

The game connects, but the debugger session crashes immediately

[distant tulip]

it is mostly for servers development

[slow walrus]

no?

[sterile epoch]

what's a good way to implement lots of chat commands without a massive switch case?

[distant tulip]

hmm?

[slow walrus]

debugger is for any script dev

not mostly for servers

[distant tulip]

he said in Linux

[slow walrus]

you can try using a map with the command as the key and a function callback as the value

[slow walrus]

yeah?

wassat gotta do with anything

[distant tulip]

i mean how are you going to work in game with the debugger there?
there is no official bedrock version there

[slow walrus]

well yeah he probably can't but the debugger isn't made mostly for servers

[distant tulip]

outside of bds and in game development?

[slow walrus]

what?

[distant tulip]

i mean is there a use case for it excluding those

[sterile epoch]

Ah, that's smart. Thanks for the idea!

[slow walrus]

for the debugger? no cause it's literally made for minecraft

[distant tulip]

huh... that what i said, no?
there is no minecraft bedrock there so that only leave us with servers

[slow walrus]

what are you talking about bro

lmao

[distant tulip]

🗿

forget about it

[remote oyster]

He is saying that if you use it, you will be using it in a BDS environment prior to production or release of your pack for Realms, if shared for Realms, because you can't utilize the tool to test, and debug your code if running your pack directly on Realms.

[slow walrus]

I don't think that's what he's saying at all

[distant tulip]

bruh
that is exactly what i am saying

[slow walrus]

ok well that just doesn't make any sense whatsoever then

why are you saying a server?

you can develop packs for realms on a normal world yk

[steady canopy]

Hello guys, i have a scripting performance question

[past blaze]

I'm just entering here, and all I can say is that the debugger is for Minecraft itself. It's not server specific

[steady canopy]

i've seen that you were having a conversation about something similar with Yaser.

but my case is slightly different since im not loading constants. so

I have a clans system (for factions) and i have a question.

This is the structure of my Clans:

type ClanRole = 'owner' | 'veteran' | 'member'
interface ClanMember {
    role: ClanRole;
    name: string;
    power: number;
    joinDate: number;
    lastActivity: number;
}

export interface Clan {
    displayName?: string;
    id: string;
    shield: number;
    creation: number;
    members: ClanMember[];
    isPublic: boolean;
    owner: string;
    claims?: string[];
    friendlyFire: boolean;
}

The storage im using is Dynamic Properties, saving the stringified objects there.

The data will be constantly edited during the play time, some properties such as displayName, shield, isPublic, friendlyFire, members, could be constantly changing.

So my question is, is it a good practice to cache all the clans when the world starts? (Im 100% sure it won't be more than 100k clans, 100k clans is actually too much for the average players that play on the server where im using this)

Or what's my best option for this case?

[slow walrus]

wow uh

I would definitely not

which of those fields in the Clan interface are most often accessed?

[steady canopy]

I mentioned them on the message

[slow walrus]

ah I see

[steady canopy]

and claims might be also modified constantly but not much since claims have a price and it's very high.

[slow walrus]

what is shield exactly? Out of all those it seems the most active one

I'm assuming a value that can change very quickly?

[steady canopy]

it's actually one of the less used. It's the time for the faction's shield to expire (The thing that protects the faction's claims)

[slow walrus]

Ah ok

[steady canopy]

SInce shields are expensive too

they won't use it too much

[slow walrus]

how often would you say those change?

saw you made a post

[steady canopy]

members, conditionally, will change everytime a player joins / leaves, to adjust their power, displayName, isPublic and friendlyFire can be changed at any time by the owner. The shield can change everytime someone buys it in the faction but as i said it's expensive so won't occur very often

Yeah so we don't spam here

#1316413003838783488 In case you want to help with this issue go to my post please! 🙂

[distant tulip]

while having the option to use the debugger, how?

[slow walrus]

wdym?

[distant tulip]

we are talking about using the debugger in Linux, as far as i know the only option is using it with bds sense there is no bedrock for Linux.
unless the un-offecial version can run with the debugger

[wary edge]

Another Linux L. Windows stays superior.

Wdym

[scarlet sable]

like did you have an issue try to reset it?

[tight sparrow]

I mean I want the cooldown will be reset if I hit entity

how do i make my item name tags always show

like when its on the floor it will say the nametag of the item

[dim tusk]

It's an #1067869022273667152 thing not script api

It's nameable component the always_show should be true

[dim tusk]

It didn't work... I made my own :)

function isWaterBottle(player) {
    const testfor = player.runCommand('testfor @s[hasitem={item=potion,location=slot.weapon.mainhand,data=0}]').successCount
    if (testfor > 0) return true;
    else return false;
}```

[dawn zealot]

but how on an item?

[dim tusk]

Ohh, create own entity... Wait I'll give you one

-# if I cns find it

[dim tusk]

Since you can't access the item entity file

[dawn zealot]

heh?

[dim tusk]

Wait I'm stupid what do you mean item? Like in inventory or the entity

[distant tulip]

nameable component when

[dawn zealot]

i mean like when i drop an item i want its name to be displayed above it on the ground

[dim tusk]

2030 lmao

[dim tusk]

Then you need to overwrite the entity file of the entity entity since you can't access it so make your own...

[simple arch]

How can I change a player/entity skin? I'm trying to do that with simulated players but to no avail.

[steady canopy]

player i dont think u can... For entities skin_id or mark_variant components but the skins should be already defined in the resources.

[simple arch]

I mean I can try and do a sample of it I just don't know the code for it.

[steady canopy]

@simple arch

it's as simple as that

[simple arch]

But also I'm kind talking about custom ones too not just any of the skin that the simulated player has. But I can give it a shot ig.

[steady canopy]

if you are talking about dynamically changing skins, that not possible in any way in minecraft bedrock.

Like changing the skin to something that isn't in the entity's resource is not possible in any way

[simple arch]

#1216415516751822889 message not like this?

[steady canopy]

Exactly, all those skins are pre-defined in the zombie's RP.

That's why he has a limit of skins, numbers, he doesn't load any skin he wants from nowhere

If you wanna do that

[simple arch]

So I can't exactly do that? Just to be clear

[steady canopy]

What is in the video you can do it

[simple arch]

Yes I want to do that

[steady canopy]

by modifying the zombie's RP

[steady canopy]

You create a ModalFormData with a slider that has all the possible mark_variant values or skin_id values and set the entity's component like this to that value .

[simple arch]

So to be sure I have to modify the simulated player resource pack. But nobody has ever done to players correct?

[vital halo]

For some reason the onPlace custom component hook is refusing to pass an argument to my function

It's returning undefined

bridge makes it look like a javascript error, as the IDE is not even acknowledging the data type that the hook should be passing to the function (but doing it for other components)

[steady canopy]

Yeah, i don't think player skin is managed by any component. The change of the skin must be client-side and then the skin data (That we can't access or send yet through scripts yet) is sent to the server

To do what's in the video here's a function:

import { Entity, Player } from '@minecraft/server'
import { ModalFormData } from '@minecraft/server-ui'

function changeSkin(player: Player, entity: Entity, possibleSkins: number[], component: 'mark_variant' | 'skin_id'){
    new ModalFormData()
    .title('Change Skin')
    .slider('Skin ID', possibleSkins[0], possibleSkins[possibleSkins.length - 1], 1, possibleSkins[0])
    .show(player).then(response => {
        if (response.canceled) return;
        const skinId = response.formValues[0] as number

        entity.getComponent(component).value = skinId
    })
}

import { Entity, Player } from '@minecraft/server'
import { ModalFormData } from '@minecraft/server-ui';
function changeSkin(player, entity, possibleSkins, component) {
    new ModalFormData()
        .title('Change Skin')
        .slider('Skin ID', possibleSkins[0], possibleSkins[possibleSkins.length - 1], 1, possibleSkins[0])
        .show(player).then(response => {
        if (response.canceled)
            return;
        const skinId = response.formValues[0];
        entity.getComponent(component).value = skinId;
    });
}

And here's in javascript

Usage:

changeSkin(player, entity, [0, 1, 2, 3], 'mark_variant')

So the entity's skin is changed by it's mark_variant component and it has 4 possible values (0,1,2,3,4)

[vital halo]

FIGURED IT OUT

[steady canopy]

world.getDynamicPropertyTotalByteCount()

For me returns 6200373 how do i convert that to MBS? what is that number? i don't understand in what digital storage form is that

And also, does this affect the performance in any way?

[vital halo]

I have this line of code.

let playerEquipment = (player.getComponent("equippable")).getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);

getComponent is returning an entityComponent, but .getEquipment requires an entityEquippableComponent and is not running. is there some way to fix this issue?

I know I can't cast in javascript but what can I do to get the equipment?

[alpine ibex]

Does anybody know how to trigger something when punching?

[flat barn]

I would split each clan into their own dynamic property, so that when you read from that dynamic property, the data isn’t so large

[flat barn]

Well this is in bytes so 1000 bytes = 1kb , 1000kb = 1mb

so it looks like yours is

6.2mb roughly

[remote oyster]

Absolutely it impacts performance. You are reading and storing large data to possibly change only a single value. You need to reconsider how you store your data using Dynamic Properties. Remember, Dynamic Properties don't need to be used to design a database that is Monolithic. Due to the uniqueness of how Dynamic Properties work, there are far more efficient ways to make a database, with less complexity.

[tight bloom]

What's the format for using permutation.resolve()? I'm trying to set a permutation on a block while not resetting other permutations, and it seems like this is what I need to do it

I haven't been able to see someone using .resolve() for multiple permutations in this server

[dim tusk]

I think you misunderstood it... Using resolve reset the rest and set what you defined, maybe you mean withState()? Like you only modify that state while retaining the other ones

[wary edge]

You need to use withState if I understood correctly.

[thorn flicker]

world.getPlayers accepts entityQueryOptions and getAllPlayers does not.

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.14.0/interfaces/EntityQueryOptions.html

[tight bloom]

withState... I see

[viscid horizon]

anyone know what i can do to make it so my scripts update live instead of me having to reload the world manually everytime

[wary edge]

Just /reload?

[viscid horizon]

yeah that’s just me doing that

[wary edge]

Thats as best you can do.

[viscid horizon]

so i can’t just make something automatically reload my scripts in an interval?

[fiery solar]

You can create a websocket server that you can connect the game to. On save in vscode you could trigger your websocket server to send the reload command.

[wary edge]

You can also use the debugger and have it set as a shortcut i guess.

It'll get quite annoying though imo, having it reload on save each time.

[viscid horizon]

what if i just wanted it running in a world

i suppose a command block running the reload command could work

[wary edge]

Nope.

Command blocks don't have the proper permission level.

[viscid horizon]

couldn’t i also just have something reload the world using runCommand?

[fiery solar]

No, that doesn't work. Only the player, debugger, or websocket server can trigger the /reload command.

[karmic pond]

why does the afterEvents.playerSpawn not detect player switching dimensions?

[slow walrus]

because the player isn't respawning

[karmic pond]

but does it not spawn the player..?

[slow walrus]

there's a specific event for dimension changes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerdimensionchangeafterevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[slow walrus]

nope, the player just gets transferred

[karmic pond]

ohh I didn't see they added that thank you

a lot of new events since I coded last time

[meager pulsar]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(({message,sender,cancel})=>{
    if(message == `mh! getGuide`){
        cancel = true
        system.run(()=>{
            sender.runCommand(`give @s mh:guide`)
        })
    }
```what´s the right way to call this event? and what version of minecraft-server do i need to use?

[karmic pond]

latest version is 1.17.0-beta

[remote oyster]

Don't destructure the cancel property from the event object. Doing so stores the Boolean into a variable, so if you attempt to change the variable for cancel later on in the event, then you are only changing the Boolean to the variable and not the actual property in the object.

In other words, it will fail to work.

[meager pulsar]

is there an stable versiion?

[remote oyster]

Not for chatSend.

[shut citrus]

can I use beforeDataDrivenTrigger event?

[queen prism]

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {

        case "toro:set_property":
          SetProperty(source,event.message);
          break;
      }
    } catch {

    }
});
function SetProperty(Source, Details) {
  let detailsSplitter = details.split('/');
  let propertyName = parseInt(detailsSplitter[0]);
  let propertyType = detailsSplitter[1];
  let propertyValue = detailsSplitter[2];
  let propertyMin = detailsSplitter[3];
  let propertyMax = detailsSplitter[4];
  if (propertyType == "float")propertyValue = parseFloat(propertyValue);
  if (propertyType == "int") { 
    
    propertyValue = parseInt(propertyValue);
    propertyMin;
    propertyMax;
    Source.SetProperty(propertyName, Math.min(Math.max((propertyValue),propertyMin),propertyMax));

  }
  if (propertyType == "float") { 
    
    propertyValue = parseFloat(propertyValue);
    parseFloat(propertyMin);
    parseFloat(propertyMax);
    Source.SetProperty(propertyName, Math.min(Math.max((propertyValue),propertyMin),propertyMax));

  }
  if (propertyType == "string") { 

    propertyValue;
    Source.SetProperty(propertyName, propertyValue);
    
  }
}```

Can anyone tell me what's missing in this?

The content log kept saying that the system was undefined.

[random flint]

You gotta import it.
import { system } from "@minecraft/server";

Also, check your spelling in your code, it's case-sensitive 💀

[queen prism]

you didn't even had to- 💀

Alr thanks.

[carmine yarrow]

Just to be sure, since inputPermissions is read-only, we have to set them via commands?

[warm mason]

no, it's just the object itself read-only, but you can set its values ​​via methods or properties. like this: js player.inputPermissions.movementEnabled = false

[carmine yarrow]

Ah makes sense thanks 🙏

[dim tusk]

Ngl it hurts my EYES 👀

[distant tulip]

even so
you should support here, Jane have a scriptophobia
it is like you using JSON ui, at least she is trying

[dim tusk]

No I'm not talking about the code I'm talking about she didn't code block it

```js
// code
```

[distant tulip]

ah, yeah

[dusky pulsar]

-# cough cough that's my code cough I fixed it since she sent that version of it

[carmine yarrow]

Since it's not explicitly said in the docs (or I'm blind), we can listen to the response of an HTTP request right?
With
await http.request(req).then((response) => { })

[gusty bramble]

import { ItemStack } from '@minecraft/server';

dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1, location);```

^ how would I make this summon at a set location like 0:0 
-# it’s probably really obvious but I’m stupid lol

[slow walrus]

import { ItemStack } from '@minecraft/server';

const location = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }
dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1), location);

[gusty bramble]

Wow it’s really that simple Jesus I need to learn more anyway thx

[dense sun]

which is more stable?

player.runCommand
or running the command in the dimension
or tick.json

[warm mason]

It is more stable to use API methods

[dense sun]

ight

[distant gulch]

I got Windows but i think Linux is way better if you want to have more control over your OS

-# but well, its way more complicated

However,

can i make a SimulatedPlayer following a targeted Player? when i tried to, it just walked into the endless... .

by the way, im not that experiented with the gametest api

[random flint]

yes kal'tsit.
There's navigateToBlock, navigateToEntity, navigateToLocation. So the keyword is "navigate" instead of "move" ig

[carmine yarrow]

Is there a way to make an entity invulnerable with ScriptAPI ?
I don't believe so but there are so many smart people here...

[warm mason]

no

[distant tulip]

effects 🤷‍♂️

[pale terrace]

I get an error saying that the value is outside the range of my property in the player, but this does not happen with entities, only with the player and with all the properties, can someone help me?

[distant tulip]

share your property and script

[pale terrace]

Property:

"a:bar": {
          "type": "int",
          "range": [ 0, 21 ],
          "default": 21,
          "client_sync": true
        },```
Script:```js
system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((data) => {
  data.sourceEntity.setProperty(data.id, data.message)
})```
Command:
```/scriptevent a:bar 9```

[distant tulip]

try Number(data.message)

[pale terrace]

oh, it works xd

thank you

[distant tulip]

There

There’s my question

I’m not writing it all here

[distant gulch]

i just fell in love with you for knowing her name

Anyways, Thanks.

Seems to be my fault because i wasnt looking enough

[vital halo]

Is there a way to give the player a custom component without using player.json?

[wary edge]

Entities don't have custom components, what are you trying to do?

[vital halo]

I've done this before using player.json but wanna rewrite it. I wanna check the player's inventory to see if they have an item with a custom tag. If they don't have that item, I wanna apply a status effect

[wary edge]

System.runInterval -> getPlayers -> check -> apply effect.

[vital halo]

Okay so there is a function for that, thank you!

[distant tulip]

getPlayers -> get inventory component -> loop through the items -> check tags -> apply effect

[burnt robin]

anyone know why server-net only sends out one request per startup, i start the server the requests sends after that, nothing

its just very annoying

[empty quail]

Can the enchantments on an item be modified through scripting? Resolved

[empty quail]

What is this issue with Bridge and how do I resolve it

main.ts

import * as server from "@minecraft/server";

^ "Cannot find module '@minecraft/server' or its corresponding type declarations. (2307)"

manifest.json

{
"module_name: "@minecraft/server",
"version": "1.18.0-beta"
}

[patent tapir]

Missing an entry

Or the version isn’t good

Just add
“entry”: “main.ts”
To the manifest module

[empty quail]

Why does that resolve the issue?

[patent tapir]

Idk

[empty quail]

Lol

[patent tapir]

But apparently you need it for it to work

And then you need to make a main.ts in your scripts folder

[empty quail]

Yeah, I have a main.ts file and I already have "entry" in modules. I think it's the dependencies section

[patent tapir]

What does the dependency look like then

[empty quail]

This

[patent tapir]

Try setting “beta-api” in the config to “true”

That would be upcomingcreatorfeatures

Sorry

I think

[ruby haven]

Can I access structure properties to scripts? structures in Minecraft like villages

[dim tusk]

No

[dim tusk]

Uhuh

[random flint]

Probably cus I played the game where she came from

[distant gulch]

je, I already thought something like that

[astral quarry]

Is there any hacky ways to get the entity height?

Like, entity height as in hey a creeper is roughly 1.5 blocks tall.

[knotty plaza]

Not sure if this would work, but try comparing the head location and the location

[rigid meadow]

im trying to get today's date by this code but the output is off by 1.
String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, "0")

[valid ice]

It always returns UTC in Minecraft, btw

[astral quarry]

Potentially a workaround! Thanks.

[near siren]

Is there any way to get the equippable component from an entity or is it just borked? All it returns is undefined

[dim tusk]

equippable component is broken on entities rn

[near siren]

Bedrock wants to get in my way huh 😭

[dim tusk]

It's broken for a long time

[near siren]

Oh dang

[fallen cape]

Use replaceitem, equippable works only for players rn

[astral quarry]

So, I'm not crazy!

Was driving me nuts all night long lol.

[dim tusk]

Crazy? I was cr-

Nvm

wtf

seem like my window system in there

[slow walrus]

it's your content log files

[shut citrus]

oh right

[tight plume]

Guys does setDynamicProperty stack? For example, setting two properties with the same ID. Would this give out errors or ignores it?

[warm mason]

You will simply overwrite the previous value. For example, here the final value will be 2:

world.setDynamicProperty("id", 1)
world.setDynamicProperty("id", 2)

you gotta show ur code dude

import * as net from "@minecraft/server-net";

const data: any = {

[burnt robin]

i'm not sure what is wrong with it

i just changed it to test create

[slow walrus]

well your only sending it once

[quick shoal]

What does this do

[slow walrus]

which part are you wanting to always send or whatever

you want it to happen every tick?

what do you want it to do?

[quick shoal]

Idk I just ask

[slow walrus]

im asking him lol

[burnt robin]

its either somethign in the server.properties or mojang being mojang and limiting us again but, it wont send when you reload this is just in the index fike

[quick shoal]

Oh bruh

[burnt robin]

im just storing a few things externally

[slow walrus]

are you doing /reload from the client or from the bds console?

[burnt robin]

bds console

[slow walrus]

hmm

[burnt robin]

i can screenshare in a vc(no mic, cant hear)

its not the highest quality right now

[slow walrus]

can you scroll up the bds console a lil

[burnt robin]

could u see what i was showing?

[slow walrus]

there's something about server properties

[slow walrus]

yeah

ah nvm that's something else

that's pretty weird

might be a bug idk

[burnt robin]

exactly

but there is a possible issue

[slow walrus]

can you restart the node app and then try /reload in the bds?

[burnt robin]

take a look here

its almost as if theres just nothing canceling the last packet

yeah here 1 sec

its server sided

not the node app

[slow walrus]

yeah

try chucking a system.run around the req part

see if that does anything

damn that is strange

[burnt robin]

ok i think i know the issue

sooo look at my 3000 port connections

[slow walrus]

oh wait yeah

the connection might still be open or something

[burnt robin]

it has 3 things that mention 3000, 2 are established, so the network request isnt completed so i think its just not reciving it, do i do net.http.cancelAll after i recieve a response?

2nd one is after stoping the server

default:~/dev/server$ sudo lsof -i:3000

you sure your http request is set up right?

honestly don't know sorry dude

I assume it's a bug

[burnt robin]

my bad, my pc crashed

[burnt robin]

hope it gets fixed soon

[wheat condor]

player.dimension.fillBlocks({ from: volumeA.get(player), to: volumeB.get(player) }, text[2])
is this the right way to use BlockVolumeBase?

volumeA,b are vec3

[distant tulip]

that or
const volume = new BlockVolume({ x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }, { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 })

with BlockVolume imported

[north depot]

what does a "return null" Do?

its like a cancel event?

[wheat condor]

it does not let the code after return null run, and also if the function will return nothing

[north depot]

ohhh... thanks....

[grim raft]

yo

why does setScore not work in scoreboardPlayerMaxHealth

const scoreboardPlayerHealth = world.scoreboard.getObjective("health")
const scoreboardPlayerMaxHealth = world.scoreboard.getObjective("maxhealth")

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        const playerHealthComp = player.getComponent(EntityHealthComponent.componentId);

        if (!playerHealthComp) return;

        const currentHealth = playerHealthComp.currentValue;
        const maxHealth = playerHealthComp.maxValue;

        scoreboardPlayerHealth.setScore(player, currentHealth);
        scoreboardPlayerMaxHealth.setScore(player, maxHealth)
    }
}, 1);```

[warm mason]

playerHealthComp.maxValue -> playerHealthComp.effectiveMax

[warm mason]

health.currentValue

[sage sparrow]

hi there, is there a easier way to get entities from ray but creating some kind of area?
for instance instend getting entities fron a straight line on ray, get entities from from a area like a cone? so as farther more blocks to get entities will be included?

[warm mason]

Do you want to make the ray radius larger?

[sage sparrow]

I think yes, I want to causa damage to entities inside this cone, so getting straight line will only get part of them, farther entities that is slightly located to both sides from my line of view will not be included

[warm mason]

function getEntitiesFromLargeRay(dimension, fromLocation, direction, rayLength = 64, options = {}) {
  let entities = []
  options.maxDistance = options.maxDistance || 1
  for (let i = 0; i < rayLength; i++) {
    options.location = {
      x: fromLocation.x + direction.x*i,
      y: fromLocation.y + direction.y*i,
      z: fromLocation.z + direction.z*i
    }
    entities = entities.concat(dimension.getEntities(options))
  }
  return entities
}

Usage example:

let entities = getEntitiesFromLargeRay(word.getDimension("overworld"), {x:0, y: 0, z: 0 }, {x: 0.5, y: 0, z: 0.5}, 10, {maxDistance: 5})

• dimension - player.dimension
• fromLocation - player.location
• direction - player.getViewDirection()
• rayLength - The name speaks for itself
• options - EntityQueryOptions

[sage sparrow]

great starting point, I will work on that, thank you

[steady canopy]

that won't work due to Unloaded Area error

[dim tusk]

Use tickingarea 🤷

[warm mason]

Nope, getEntities will just return an empty array if you try to get entities from unloaded chunks

[winter plaza]

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

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
  const equipment = source.getComponent("equippable");
  if (itemStack.typeId == "dlvn:pokeball_pokemon" && itemStack.getLore().includes("Pikachu Level 5")) {
   source.runCommandAsync(`say foi? ` + itemStack.getLore().replace("Pikachu Level ", ""));
  }
});

why doesn't "replace" work?

[cold grove]

doesnt getLore() returns an array??

oh yes, it does

[remote oyster]

Yea, it returns a string[].

[cold grove]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/itemstack?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#getlore

[winter plaza]

So what do I do?

[remote oyster]

Have to sort through each string in the array until you find the specific string you are looking for, then replace and apply to your message.

[winter plaza]

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

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
  const
    equipment = source.getComponent("equippable"),
    test = itemStack.getLore();
  if (itemStack.typeId == "dlvn:pokeball_pokemon" && itemStack.getLore().includes("Pikachu Level 5")) {
   source.runCommandAsync(`say foi? ` + test.replace("Pikachu Level ", ""));
  }
});

I tried like this, but it didn't work

[cold grove]

just use filter()

[winter plaza]

How do you use a filter?

[remote oyster]

if (itemStack.typeId === "dlvn:pokeball_pokemon") {
  // Locate the specific lore containing "Pikachu Level"
  const lore = itemStack.getLore();
  const pikachuLore = lore.find((line) => line.startsWith("Pikachu Level "));

  if (pikachuLore) {
    // Extract the level from the lore
    const level = pikachuLore.replace("Pikachu Level ", "");
    source.runCommandAsync(`say foi? ${level}`);
  }
}

[winter plaza]

How, thanks

but I wanted it to be from the lore itself, because when I use the same item, but with the description like "Charmander Level 5", I will have to create another filter

[remote oyster]

// Define a lookup object for lore patterns and their handlers
const loreHandlers = {
  "Pikachu Level": (lore) => {
    const level = lore.replace("Pikachu Level ", "");
    source.runCommandAsync(`say Pikachu is at Level ${level}`);
  },
  "Charmander Level": (lore) => {
    const level = lore.replace("Charmander Level ", "");
    source.runCommandAsync(`say Charmander is at Level ${level}`);
  },
  // Add more handlers as needed
};

if (itemStack.typeId === "dlvn:pokeball_pokemon") {
  const lore = itemStack.getLore();

  for (const line of lore) {
    // Check each lore line against the handlers
    for (const key in loreHandlers) {
      if (line.startsWith(key)) {
        loreHandlers[key](line); // Call the handler dynamically
        break; // Stop checking further handlers for this line
      }
    }
  }
}

That is about as good as you are gonna get in terms of efficiency. Based on your concept.

[winter plaza]

Ok

thank you very much

you are the best!

[patent tapir]

How do I test if a player has al 4 pieces of netherite armor in their inventory

[distant tulip]

inventory or equipment

[patent tapir]

Very helpful, thank you

I don’t know how to do that

import { world, system, Dimension, EntityInventoryComponent, } from "@minecraft/server"
const ascensionArea = {
  x = 9999,
  y = 99,
  z = 9999
}
const lookAt = {
  x = 10003,
  y = 100,
  z = 9999
}
world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(data => {
  const sender = data.sender
  const message = data.message

  const senderInventory = data.sender.getComponent(EntityInventoryComponent)
  world.getDimension("overworld").getPlayers()
  if (message.startsWith("!") && message.substring(1).toString().toLowerCase() == "ascend") {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("coins").getScore(sender.scoreboardIdentity) >= 100000 && world.scoreboard.getObjective("kills").getScore(sender.scoreboardIdentity) >= 25) {
      sender.teleport(ascensionArea, { facingLocation = lookAt })
    }
  }
})```

I want the command to run only when they have all 4 pieces of netherite armor in their inventory as well as 100k coins and 25 kills

[distant tulip]

that was a question...

[patent tapir]

Oh, what?

What do you mean by that

Inventory?

I don’t care if they’re wearing it i just want them to have them

Also am I using vector3 correctly

[distant tulip]

you want to test if the armor is in the armor slots or inventory in general

[patent tapir]

Inventory in general

[distant tulip]

  const inventoryComponent = player.getComponent("inventory");
  const inventory = inventoryComponent.container;
  const netheriteArmor = [
    "minecraft:netherite_helmet",
    "minecraft:netherite_chestplate",
    "minecraft:netherite_leggings",
    "minecraft:netherite_boots",
  ];

  // Keep track of armor pieces found
  let foundArmor = 0;

  for (let slot = 0; slot < inventory.size; slot++) {
    const item = inventory.getItem(slot);
    if (item && netheriteArmor.includes(item.typeId)) {
      foundArmor++;
    }
  }

  if (foundArmor === 4) {
    //...
  }

[patent tapir]

Thank you!!

Am i using vector3 correctly btw

By making an object with x, y, and z

And using that as the vector

[distant tulip]

yes

[patent tapir]

Ok great

[winter plaza]

hurt.typeId.split("dlvn:")[1].toUpperCase()

When I use "toUpperCase" it capitalizes the entire word, I only want the first word.

[steady canopy]

exactly...

[steady canopy]

Yeah i said the code won't work in it's current status that doesn't use tickingarea... It's obvious you have to use one

[late cliff]

hurt.typeId.split(/:|_/).slice(1).map(s=>s[0].toUpperCase() + s.slice(1)).join(" ")

[vestal spruce]

I try to do this if he doesn't equip the armor, it equips him by itself but I can't do it

[dim tusk]

let result = hurt.typeId.split("dlvn:")[1];
result = result.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + result.slice(1).toLowerCase();

Lmao i just realized someone already did it

[late cliff]

can properties, components (specially mark_variant), and tags not be accessed from a projectile that has hit an entity as ive tried this and I either get an error or undefined?

world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe((data) => {
  const {dimension, hitVector, location, projectile, source} = data
  if(projectile.typeId == 'cc:blaster_proj'){
    const lev = projectile.getProperty('cc:level')
    const level = projectile.getComponent('minecraft:mark_variant').value
    const levels = projectile.getTags()
    world.sendMessage(`${lev} | ${level} | ${levels}`)
  }
})

[dim tusk]

try using before events of entityRemove you can't acces the projectile's data especially if it has the destroy_on_hit

you could use the projectilehitentity if you don't have that but if you do just resort using the entity remove

[quick shoal]

Its it open source

What can simulated player do

[simple arch]

simulated players are like real players but you can anything what a player can do. Sometimes

e.g, breaking a block

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server-gametest/simulatedplayer?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental document about them

[late cliff]

thanks for the info, that gives me an idea so I can still use projectileHitEntity and not have to use entityRemove 👍

[dim tusk]

you removed the destoy on hit or other way? kinda curios

[patent tapir]

Why is Minecraft throwing an error at the line of code with the x variable on it const buttonLocation = { x = 10003, y = 101, z = 9999 }

]```

It invalidated my ENTIRE main.js

But it didn’t throw any errors for the other files that had the exact same kind of object

I’m using it as a vector3

And my file has all of it’s brackets matching up so it should be fine

[dim tusk]

are you sure that part was the one who make the error

[patent tapir]

I moved where the variable was and it still throws the error at the x object value

[dim tusk]

can you share the whole snippet atleasst?

can't help you if you just give me thaat object

[patent tapir]

world.afterEvents.buttonPush.subscribe((data) => {
    const buttonLocation = {
        x = 10003,
        y = 101,
        z = 9999
    }
    const spawn = {
        x = 0,
        y = 64,
        z = 0
    }
    const button = data.block.location
    if (button.x === buttonLocation.x && button.y === buttonLocation.y && button.z === buttonLocation.z) {
        //if (button === buttonLocation) {
        world.sendMessage({
            rawtext: [
                {
                    text:
                        `§5${data.source} HAS ASCENDED`
                }
            ]
        })
        world.getDimension("overworld").playSound("mob.enderdragon.growl")
        world.getDimension("the_end").playSound("mob.enderdragon.growl")
        data.source.teleport(spawn)
    }
})```

I dunno how much I should send so I sent the whole darn thing

[dim tusk]

nah you good i'll try what you gave

[patent tapir]

I think I’m gonna remove the playsound tho cuz I can do that with a command block

Can’t omit the tellraw because of source name

[dim tusk]

byw the §5${data.source} HAS ASCENDED works?

[patent tapir]

…it invalidates the entire main.js, I couldn’t even test

[dim tusk]

yeah i forgot wait

[dim tusk]

oof i checked documentation

[patent tapir]

What

What did i do

[dim tusk]

it only have source

[patent tapir]

Wdym

[dim tusk]

data.block.location is not valid

[patent tapir]

Bruh…

[dim tusk]

i chcked the preview and not preview and only the source exist

also

[patent tapir]

Then how am I supposed to get the name of the person through a /tellraw nesting in /execute

[dim tusk]

that's not how you use object

[patent tapir]

……..

[dim tusk]

it should look like this

const vector3 = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 } ```

[patent tapir]

Oh

[dim tusk]

you used colon not equals

[patent tapir]

Well I’m gonna get some ice cream brb

[dim tusk]

i just noticed it mybad

[patent tapir]

Please tell me how to get username of player through /execute /tellraw

[dim tusk]

nvm im wrong you can get the location of the button lmao

that docs doesn't include it that's why i assumed

and also you can get the name using source.name

[dim tusk]

[dawn zealot]

can someone help rq

[dim tusk]

state your prblem

[dawn zealot]

basically im (this is just an example ik its not correct) im trying to get the name from player 1 that matches the ID of 1, and display it as a button name

wait i might know

nvm im dumb

[late cliff]

I deleted destory_no_hit and remove_on_hit and added

"set_last_hurt_requires_damage": true,
            "destroy_on_hit_requires_damage": true

along with a despawn component group to make it more accurate

[dawn zealot]

figured it out, wrong scoreboard obj lol

[patent tapir]

Hey so I finally got my scripts to work but uhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native function [ScreenDisplay::setTitle] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (goToAscend.js:47)

So how do I elevate the script permissions?

[dim tusk]

using before events?

Wrap the part of the code with system run

[patent tapir]

Ok so system.run bypasses this?

Is there a way for me to naturally set the script permissions higher?

Like for example wtf is permissions.json

[patent tapir]

This also happens with source.teleport

[dim tusk]

ok so modifying things before it happens isn't possible that's why we add system run since it will happen next tick

[slow walrus]

that's not what it means. In beforeEvents, they run before the game tick (as implied by the name) in a read-only state, so that means you can't call functions that modify the world or anything inside it. You can check which functions don't have "permissions" by checking the function description, where it'll say something like "this function can't be called in read-only mode". By using a system.run, you delay that code till the next game tick, where the state is read & write, so it has the proper "permissions"

[patent tapir]

Oh, ok

That makes sense

[slow walrus]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/script-server.html#beforeevents-privilege-system

[patent tapir]

Does that also delay the rest of the code though, including the event.cancel

[slow walrus]

you don't have to wrap all your code in a system.run

only the stuff that can't run in a readonly state

event.cancel can't be delayed otherwise it does nothing

[patent tapir]

Yeayeayea but if event.cancel is at the end of the world.beforeEvents.chatSend function will system.run delay it until message has already been sent

[patent tapir]

Oh

[slow walrus]

no, only the stuff inside of the callback is delayed

[patent tapir]

Thanks for the help

[slow walrus]

no problem

[patent tapir]

Also

Does system.run need the () => {}

In the parentheses

Or can i just directly put the sender function into the system.run

[dim tusk]

system.run(() => {
   // code
});```

[patent tapir]

So it does need it

Even if the nested parentheses are empty

[dim tusk]

runtInterval and runTimeout too

[patent tapir]

Why isn’t data.cancel = true working

I even put it at the start of the world.beforeEvents function and it doesn’t stop my message from being sent

[dim tusk]

Send the code

[patent tapir]

import { world, system } from "@minecraft/server"
const ascensionArea = {
  x: 9999.5,
  y: 99,
  z: 9999.5
}
const lookAt = {
  x: 10003.5,
  y: 99.5,
  z: 9999.5
}

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(data => {
  data.cancel = true
  const inventoryComponent = data.sender.getComponent("inventory");
  const inventory = inventoryComponent.container;
  const netheriteArmor = [
    "minecraft:netherite_helmet",
    "minecraft:netherite_chestplate",
    "minecraft:netherite_leggings",
    "minecraft:netherite_boots",
  ];
  let foundArmor = 0;

  for (let slot = 0; slot < inventory.size; slot++) {
    const item = inventory.getItem(slot);
    if (item && netheriteArmor.includes(item.typeId)) {
      foundArmor++;
    }
  }
  const sender = data.sender
  const message = data.message

  world.getDimension("overworld").getPlayers()
  if (message.startsWith("!") && message.substring(1).toString().toLowerCase() == "ascend") {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("coins").getScore(sender.scoreboardIdentity) >= 100000 && world.scoreboard.getObjective("kills").getScore(sender.scoreboardIdentity) >= 25 && foundArmor === 4) {
      system.run(() => {
        sender.teleport(ascensionArea, { facingLocation: lookAt })
      })
    } else {
      system.run(() => {
        sender.onScreenDisplay.setTitle({
          rawtext: [
            {
              text:
                "You can't\nascend yet"
            }
          ]
        })
      })
    }
  }
})```

It’s a lot

Two things I want to fix from this too though

1. How do I close the player’s chat immediately upon sending the command
2. I want to check for at least 1 of every netherite armor piece is in their inventory

[neat hound]

Why oh Why... If I cancel the playerInteractWithBlock Event, where the space that I touched from is air, so can take the block normally, why do I see a quick blip of it, then it disappears... is it me, or has anyone else noticed this? Is this why it is still beta?

So this really looks bad when I place those pink slabs connecting them, because it shows the default placement then switches to the new permutation placement

Does not matter too much between if I let the interact or the placeblock event handle it... only one that does not do that is the block's BP file...

[wary edge]

Probably because place block triggers before interact.

You should use beforePlayerPlaceBlock and see if it still occurs.

According to the afterevents ordering anyways, I presume beforevents have the same ordering.

[neat hound]

According to my testing where I actually show that stuff on the screen. The the player interact with block, the before event, happens before the player place block, before event. And on top of that, which kind of makes sense, if you cancel the interact event, it will not do the place event. So you're saying that the documentation says it should be the other way?

That was voice to text so if anything is off blame Google because I do not talk. Funny

[slow walrus]

it's just a visual desync between the client and server

cause the client predicts that the block will be placed, so it renders it, but then the server cancels the event, so it gets "un" rendered

[neat hound]

Yeah, well that sucks

[tight plume]

Anyone quick question, how do i get the item in the armor slots of the player

i forgot what method that was

[dim tusk]

Why you're rwatextibg the setTitle can't you just do it directly?

[dim tusk]

const equipment = player.getComponent('equippable');
const head = equipment.getEquipment('Head');
const chest = equipment.getEquipment('Chest');
const legs = equipment.getEquipment('Legs');
const feet = equipment.getEquipment('Feet');

[dim tusk]

And you can't detect armor with an inventory component use equippable component

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

const ascendPos = { x: 9999.5, y: 99, z: 9999.5 };
const lookAtPos = { x: 10003.5, y: 99.5, z: 9999.5 };

const netheriteArmor = [
  "minecraft:netherite_helmet",
  "minecraft:netherite_chestplate",
  "minecraft:netherite_leggings",
  "minecraft:netherite_boots",
];

function hasFullArmor(player, armor = []) {
  const equip = player.getComponent('equippable');
  const head = equip.getEquipment('Head');
  const chest = equip.getEquipment('Chest');
  const legs = equip.getEquipment('Legs');
  const feet = equip.getEquipment('Feet');
  
  return [head, chest, legs, feet].every(item => item && armor.includes(item.typeId));
}

function getScore(player, objName) {
  const obj = world.scoreboard.getObjective(objName);
  return obj ? obj.getScore(player) || 0 : 0;
}

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((data) => {
  const player = data.sender;
  const msg = data.message.trim();

  if (msg.toLowerCase() === "!ascend") {
    data.cancel = true;

    const hasArmor = hasFullArmor(player, netheriteArmor);
    const coins = getScore(player, "coins");
    const kills = getScore(player, "kills");

    if (coins >= 100000 && kills >= 25 && hasArmor) {
      system.run(() => {
        player.teleport(ascendPos, { facingLocation: lookAtPos });
      });
    } else {
      system.run(() => {
        player.onScreenDisplay.setTitle({
          rawtext: [{ text: "You can't\nascend yet" }],
        });
      });
    }
  }
});

[patent tapir]

Only just now getting to this, I spent WAYYYYY too long working out some incredibly simple logic that I could’ve just ignored but it was throwing errors and buggin me so I fixed it

But thanks

[dim tusk]

Btw you can't close the chat forcefully unless you damage the player which is annoying asf

[patent tapir]

Aw

Ok

[dim tusk]

Didn't test it so don't expect it would work immediately 😭

[patent tapir]

Also you forgot to add the netherite armor array to this line which is why it grayed for me

const hasArmor = hasFullArmor(player, netheriteArmor);

[dim tusk]

It's already defined outside the chatsend

[patent tapir]

It was grayed which means it wasn’t used in the code

[dim tusk]

Wha-?

It would work still

What software are you using

[patent tapir]

That’s what it looked like when I put it in

[dim tusk]

Ohh, copy it again

[patent tapir]

So I added the array

[dim tusk]

I modified it lmao

[patent tapir]

Oh

[dim tusk]

I keep editing the message and you copied the first version lmao mybad

[patent tapir]

Also the dude who sent me the first script to check for if the armor was in the inventory at all it worked fine but I could just have 4 netherite boots and it passed

Can’t it just check the entire inventory?

[dim tusk]

Ohh you're checking it if it's on the inventory only not wearing it?

Oof

Sorry bout that

[patent tapir]

You literally said it up here 💀

But that wasn’t really true

[dim tusk]

Sorry my grammar and I forgot to type that you can't detect wearing it with just inventory component ☠️☠️

[patent tapir]

Uh-huh

I read it as “you can’t detect inventory, only armor slots”

[dim tusk]

function hasFullArmor(player, armor = []) {
  const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
  let armorCount = 0;

  for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
    const item = inventory.getItem(i);
    if (item && armor.includes(item.typeId)) {
      armorCount++;
    }
  }

  return armorCount === armor.length;
}```

Yeah I just retain your old one :)

[patent tapir]

I would do it myself but I already tried for like an hour earlier to get the inventory on it’s own and didn’t turn up anything of worth

[patent tapir]

But the issue with that one is, like I said, i could hold 4 netherite boots and pass the test

But i could probably just add an [i] somewhere

[dim tusk]

Hmm wait

[patent tapir]

Trust me, i would know, i have done STRENUOUS testing for the last like 4 hours

Before that, I had dinner, and before THAT, more testing!

I’m so glad it’s Saturday tomorrow

Pretty much today my iPad was suffering from all the extremely stressing testing where I had 3 applications open at once and usually like 20 players on my world at the same time all day

But at some point I have to set the world to invite only because of world breaking exploits from the main.js getting invalidated

Am I just a nuisance here?

Am I asking for too much?

Should I leave?

I like the help ;-;

[dim tusk]

It's no in my notes to say the word... Impossible

And I've been doing this for a long time and don't expect I don't know any solution

[patent tapir]

Ok well I finished my entire laundry while waiting and watching yt

[sterile epoch]

I made a function that takes a date and returns the date as "8d, 3h, 2m"
But if I do long dates, like a year, it'll say "-1y" and idk why

does anyone know why this happens

[dim tusk]

function hasFullArmor(player, armor) {
    const inventory = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
    const foundArmor = new Set();
    for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
        const item = inventory.getItem(i);
        if (item && armor.includes(item.typeId)) {
            foundArmor.add(item.typeId);
        }
    }

    return armor.every(piece => foundArmor.has(piece));
}

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(ev => {
    if (ev.message === '!test') {
        ev.cancel = true;
        const netheriteArmor = [
            'minecraft:netherite_helmet',
            'minecraft:netherite_chestplate',
            'minecraft:netherite_leggings',
            'minecraft:netherite_boots'
        ];
        if (hasFullArmor(ev.sender, netheriteArmor)) {
            ev.sender.sendMessage('Full set of netherite armor');
        } else {
            ev.sender.sendMessage('Not full set of netherite armor');
        }
    }
});```

done

[dim tusk]

send the code

do you use the ticks or the date.now?

or whatever you used

[patent tapir]

Ttthhhhaaaaaaannnnkkkkkssssss

[dim tusk]

nothing is impossible to me blud..
-# unless I'm really that stupid that idk any way lmao

[patent tapir]

The more I get solutions from u guys the more I have issues with my own requests

I have no idea how I was supposed to phrase that

[sterile epoch]

export function getTimeRemainingString(endDate) {
    if (endDate === null) return "Permanent";

    const now = new Date();
    endDate = new Date(endDate);
    let years = endDate.getFullYear() - now.getFullYear();
    let months = endDate.getMonth() - now.getMonth();
    let days = endDate.getDate() - now.getDate();
    let hours = endDate.getHours() - now.getHours();
    let minutes = endDate.getMinutes() - now.getMinutes();
    if (minutes < 0) {
        minutes += 60;
        hours -= 1;
    }
    if (hours < 0) {
        hours += 24;
        days -= 1;
    }
    if (days < 0) {
        const prevMonth = new Date(endDate.getFullYear(), endDate.getMonth(), 0);
        days += prevMonth.getDate();
        months -= 1;
    }
    if (months < 0) {
        months += 12;
        years -= 1;
    }
    const timeComponents = [
        years ? `${years}y` : "",
        months ? `${months}mo` : "",
        days ? `${days}d` : "",
        hours ? `${hours}h` : "",
        minutes ? `${minutes}m` : ""
    ].filter(Boolean);

    return timeComponents.join(", ") || "Mute expired";
}

[sterile epoch]

i use new Date() then a function that takes the time set from a form and adds that to the date, the returns the date and sets to db

[dim tusk]

how do you use it? what's the format?

[sterile epoch]

format of what?

i use it whenever i want to show the duration of a ban/mute

[dim tusk]

nvm i get it now..
-# i think?

[sterile epoch]

but in a readable format

[dim tusk]

can you give me the really2 long dates you used that it gave -1y?

i want to recreate or test it

[sterile epoch]

sure one sec

[wheat condor]

can someone explain me why this is wrong

why is it not registering the component

[open urchin]

custom components are registered in regular script files in the BP/scripts folder

[gusty bramble]

Is there a way to cancel all momentum for the item that’s summoned with this?

import { ItemStack } from '@minecraft/server';

const location = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }
dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1), location);

I considered just tping the item to the location to do it but I thought there may be a better way

[open urchin]

this might work

const itemEntity = dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1), location);
itemEntity.clearVelocity();

[gusty bramble]

I’ll try

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to effect it

[neat hazel]

How to detect if the player used the item and when I stopped using it
When you use it, you get a tag, when you stop, you lose the tag.

[chilly fractal]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/enums/_minecraft_server.EntityInitializationCause.html
Yo which one is the cause for entity getting spawned by spawner?
I can't really test rn cuz I'm working on some web thing and I am using most of my device ram on that thing and yeah 😅

[chilly fractal]

world.afterEvents.itemUseStart

[neat hazel]

Thnk

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome

[chilly fractal]

Does anyone know or can anyone test it for me rq & thanks in advance!

[neat hazel]

Why is it not working?

mc.world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe((eventData) => {
  const player = eventData.source;
  const item = eventData.itemStack;

  player.sendMessage("Start")
});

mc.world.afterEvents.itemStopUse.subscribe((eventData) => {
  const player = eventData.source;
  const item = eventData.itemStack;

  player.sendMessage("Stop")
});

[chilly fractal]

ReleaseUse

[coral ermine]

Why event is not working?

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(event => {
  const player = event.player;
  const block = event.block;
    if (block.typeId === "minecraft:dirt") {
        summoned(player);
        event.cancel = true;
    }
});

[chilly fractal]

First is correct, second should be itemReleaseUse

[chilly fractal]

Well the problem probably lies in the summoned(player); function, show us it's code so we can help you.

[neat hazel]

It didn't work

[chilly fractal]

Share the error.

[neat hazel]

Nothing appears in the Log

[chilly fractal]

Well show me the code you used anyway

[neat hazel]

mc.world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe((eventData) => {
  const player = eventData.source;
  const item = eventData.itemStack;

  player.sendMessage("Start")
});

mc.world.afterEvents.itemReleaseUse.subscribe((eventData) => {
  const player = eventData.source;
  const item = eventData.itemStack;
  
  player.sendMessage("Stop")
});

[chilly fractal]

Well do you do the import like the following:
import * as mc from "@minecraft/server";?

If not then that's the error

It should work otherwise

[neat hazel]

Yes, I used import * as mc from "@minecraft/server";

[neat hazel]

I can use itemUse, to detect when to use
But the problem is to detect when to stop using it.

[winter plaza]

entityWest = block.dimension.getEntities({maxDistance:6,location:{x:x - 27, y:y, z:z + 3},type:"minecraft:player"},tags:("start_mission");

How do I put a tag filter and scoreboard in this const?

[sharp elbow]

For tags, add the 'tags' array to the object passed into getEntities.

To filter by scoreboard, we need to filter the array elements, removing entities who do not match the condition.

[winter plaza]

if (getScore("missions", entityWest) == 3) {}

like this?

[sharp elbow]

entityWest = block.dimension.getEntities({
  maxDistance: 6,
  location: {x: x-27, y: y, z: z + 3},
  type: "minecraft:player",
  tags: ["start_mission"]
}).filter(function filterByScore(entity) {
  return getScore("missions", entity) == 3;
});

[winter plaza]

Thanks
