Script API General

[dim tusk]

then he can't edit the variable then? Or
He meant another thing

[timid zenith]

There is seve the function of the set home

[deep yew]

or

function homesystem (){}
export {homesystem}

main.js: import "homesystem"

[rose light]

Guys, how do I use the scoreboard class or anything else that uses the world

[thorn flicker]

oops.

[deep yew]

If it says it has no permissions, surround needed code with system.run()

[rose light]

It doesn't work like that anymore

is my using script v2

[timid zenith]

I could have enabled you to the priv

[thorn flicker]

he should use const anyway

[deep yew]

Then I am not sure what exactly you need or have an issue with.

[rose light]

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native property getter [World::scoreboard] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (modulo/all_class/database/ScoreboardAapi.js:2)

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [script expansion - 1.0.0] - [main.js] ran with error: [ReferenceError: Native property getter [World::scoreboard] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (modulo/all_class/database/ScoreboardAapi.js:2

[timid zenith]

I can talk to you about the DM

[rose light]

.

[thorn flicker]

you can import all of your scripts in world.afterEvents.worldLoad

[deep yew]

As I said, you can do system.run(()=>{world.scoreboard.otherstuff} for simply giving it permission, or use worldLoad with premade variables

[rose light]

How would this work? Should I call all scripts through it?

[timid zenith]

Ummm

[rose light]

but this code doesn't use BeforEvents for this kind of thing

[deep yew]

You define variable names before worldLoad like let var1; let var2; then in worldLoad you give them the values they need like var1 = "test"; var2 = world.scoreboard.getScore();

[rose light]

humm

[thorn flicker]

just set up your main.js (or whatever the entry is called), to have worldLoad.
make seperate script files for your stuff, and import them.

// entry
import { world } from '@minecraft/server';

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  import("./scripts/example_1.js");
  import("./scripts/example_2.js");
  import("./scripts/example_3.js");
})

[deep yew]

it doesn't need to use beforeEvents to use system.run().

[rose light]

would I have to do this for all my codes?

[rose light]

ahhhhhhhh

[rose light]

I thought I couldn't do that kind of thing

[thorn flicker]

...

[rose light]

Could I simply call a function there? But if I want to use an event, for example ItemUse, what happens?

@thorn flicker

[chrome gyro]

Random question... has anyone ever ran into lag from having too many scoreboards. I'm trying to figure out if I want to go full lore variables somehow or just keep using scoreboards.

[rose light]

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native property getter [World::scoreboard] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (world/modulo/all_class/database/ScoreboardAapi.js:2)

]

[rose light]

if you make 6 trillion, you will have lags using scoreboard

[chrome gyro]

Well... probably, but have you actually heard anything about it? Seems like an arbitrary number to me.

From my research someone didn't notice anything at 10,000 so it should probably be ok for my purposes. But curious for future use as well.

[dim tusk]

The amount I think doesn't really matter but the items you set values on that identity can probably contribute to it.

[warm drum]

can anyone tell me what change in the 2.0.0 beta

[chrome gyro]

Makes sense, when they're active it would have a bigger load, I didn't think about that... hmm ok I'll have to just test it then.

[dim tusk]

You're the script API itself, you should've already know that.

[warm drum]

but really

[wary edge]

Read the changelogs.

[warm drum]

oh right

[wary edge]

No seriously, read the changelogs. It's a shit ton.

[warm drum]

someone should compile a list of change

[wary edge]

😭 That's what the changelogs are.

[valid ice]

Literally

Or… a community hosted docs site and you can compare changes between versions

[wary edge]

Update was massive

https://tenor.com/view/know-what-else-is-massive-massive-meme-low-taper-fade-gaming-marvin-gif-5434763778147397120

[elder heath]

Yes, I was just told that it is because of the new update.

[dim tusk]

This dog.

[warm drum]

Can be called or Must be called?

Why...

[distant tulip]

both

[warm drum]

How do we do blockComponentRegistry and itemComponentRegistry now?

world.afterEvents.worldLoad ?

[distant tulip]

startup event

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.70/classes/_minecraft_server.StartupEvent.html

it might not work 🤷‍♂️

[valid ice]

pain

[warm drum]

What do u mean?

[distant tulip]

some people here didn't work for them and did work for others

[warm drum]

knockback is also change....

[distant tulip]

applyKnockback method now takes a VectorXZ parameter for the knockback horizontal force (which includes the strength/magnitude), as well as a vertical strength parameter. To convert from V1, you should normalize your previous direction vector and multiply it by the old horizontal strength value. Vertical strength is the same as before.

[dim tusk]

This is my first time dealing with custom commands so no hate lmao

~~js system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ customCommandRegistry }) => { customCommandRegistry.registerCommand({ name: 'creator:hellocustomcommand', description: 'Celebration size', permissionLevel: 'Any', optionalParameters: [{ type: 'Integer', name: 'celebrationSize' }] }, (celebrationSize) => { world.sendMessage('Lezz go!'); }); });

I'm kinda confused about what's wrong here.~~
-# fixed it.

[dim tusk]

not a big change.
fromjs Entity.applyKnocback(x, z, 2, vertical)tojs Entity.applyKnocback({ x: x * 2, z: z * 2 }, vertical)

[granite cape]

we need CustomCommandSender!!

[slim spear]

did they ever make equippable work for entities other than the player yet?

[wary edge]

No.

[unique acorn]

the type should be a number or use CustomCommandParamType.Integer, you might've already fixed it to cuz of those lines

same thing for permission level

tbh this is so dumb, why couldn't it be string

[iron apex]

Guys, how do I make a cooldown?

[dim tusk]

Yeah, it annoys me so much.

Tho i won't really complain since it's newly released lol

[shy leaf]

item cooldowns?

[iron apex]

Yep

[shy leaf]

wait, is this script API question? or

[iron apex]

I tried using JSON and it didn't work, so I thought maybe it's now being done through a Script

[dim tusk]

Wdym it didn't work?

[iron apex]

I mean, Cooldown doesn't work for some reason.

[shy leaf]

AFAIK you need JSON to create cooldown category and set the max cooldown ticks

and you use script API to start cooldowns, i think?

[iron apex]

I wanted to use a Script for this, but when you said about the JSON in which you need to make a Cooldown category, I broke down at that moment. Has this innovation been introduced long ago? I just remember that they used to do this in the item file.

[shy leaf]

actually no, i think im remembering smth wrong

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/preview/behavior_pack/items/wind_charge.json

this is vanilla example, ill grab some codes from addons, brb

[iron apex]

TY

[shy leaf]

ok so yeah, you can follow the vanilla JSON

and then you start cooldown using scripts

there are various ways of starting cooldowns, ill tell you if you need

[iron apex]

Can you tell me how to use it via Script? I'll need it for the future, in case I need it

[shy leaf]

do you know the basics of JavaScript?

[iron apex]

Yep

[shy leaf]

so the first one is Player.startItemCooldown(), this allows you to start cooldown of specified category on player

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html#startitemcooldown

[iron apex]

Thank you very much

[shy leaf]

the second one is ItemStack's cooldown component's startCooldown() function

it gets the category from the ItemStack itself, so you need to specify the player only

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.ItemCooldownComponent.html#startcooldown

const item = player.getComponent("equippable")?.getEquipment("Mainhand");
item?.getComponent("cooldown")?.startCooldown(player);

player.startItemCooldown(cooldownCategory, tickDuration);

the former one starts the cooldown of duration set in JSON, while the latter can be anything, even beyond the max cooldown ticks

[dim tusk]

tbh, this is what I loved

The same goes to setCurrentValue of health, tho the health icons don't increase :(

[shy leaf]

wait, it doesnt clamp?

[dim tusk]

Nope, try doing setCurrentValue(999) and do /damage @s 20 the health, you don't die.

You can try it.

[shy leaf]

what the devil

[thorn flicker]

well that could be considered a problem in some cases

[shy leaf]

what if you heal with broken health

will it clamp the health back to 20?

[dim tusk]

I dunno, go test it.

[shy leaf]

bet

[prisma shard]

is there a "workaround" to make a entity Invincible, just like when a player is in creative, and you hit him, he doesnt get hit. By workaround, I meant that something like if applying 255 amplifier resistance or instant health every tick, something like that

[fallen cape]

what's the problem of using 255 resistance?

anyways, if the entity is yours, or you can edit its json, use damage sensors

[prisma shard]

the red hit overlay still appear ig? which i dont want

[prisma shard]

nope, its not custom entity

its vanilla entity, thats why

[fallen cape]

apply weakness 255 to the player when the player is looking at that entity?

[prisma shard]

bruh-

thats some real goofy workaround

[fallen cape]

yeah

[prisma shard]

nah like i heard that 255 instant health every tick does that

so i am curious to know if its real

bcoz i dont have minecraft to test

[fallen cape]

the red overlay would still appear probably

[prisma shard]

can ya test

[fallen cape]

nah i'm busy rn

[prisma shard]

👍 np

[lyric kestrel]

Is it possible to initialise a block in JS yet, or no?

[distant tulip]

no

[shy leaf]

it actually doesnt show damage color when instant healing heals the damage away in a tick

so yes that could work

[dim tusk]

guys, what Minecraft version is this script "1.0.0-beta.11940b24" and below.

Just curious

[cold grove]

Never heard about it

[dim tusk]

Then the npm is funny lol

[fast wind]

Does anyone know how to get the players current speed?

[chilly moth]

can anyone show example of
JSON.parse dynamic property and using it in json ui bindings/variables

[prisma shard]

That was what i am talking about

i heard someone do it

so was asking abt that

[lyric kestrel]

:whenme:

Damnit, Nitro ran out

[shy leaf]

const movementComp = player.getComponent("movement");
const speed = movementComp?.currentValue

or if youre talking about velocity,
player.getVeloicty()

[fast wind]

Does this work with knockback?

[shy leaf]

uhhh what are you talking about

oh

no, it gets the player's movement speed

not the player's speed

[fast wind]

So I have like a fly tag that works with appyKnockback

[fast wind]

Alr thanks, anyway I found a way even if not really efficient

[shy leaf]

i think you can just do player.getVelocity()*20

for player's block per second

[dim tusk]

What's so hard about it?

You just grab the value of dynamic property and thats it.

Use it to somewhere else, there no special thing tho.

also, you shouldn't problem in script side... Json ui is harder

[chilly moth]

yeah I guess I am confused in bindings and stuff

let slots = JSON.parse(world.getDynamicProperty(`slots_${player.id}`) || "[]");

I have made it using sidebar so just trying to remake it with json

[dim tusk]

What json?

you mean actionbar?

Then do setActionBar()

[chilly moth]

like that but actionbar disappears

[dim tusk]

Learn how to grbs the data in json ui

in short, learn json ui.

[chilly moth]

have any references

hm

[dim tusk]

bedrock wiki exists.

go in #1067869374410657962 and ask there

Open a post etc.

[prisma shard]

[cold grove]

Found it!

Preview 1.19.60.22

[dim tusk]

Ohh, that's why....

.60 preview first then stable .50

[prisma shard]

hey, how would i make a entity follow the player?

[distant tulip]

add tame component and tame it to the player

[prisma shard]

like setting its location to player.location each tick, then doing entity.remove() other entities that is not on the player.location is very unoptimized way, what would be a easiest way to do it?

[solar dagger]

If an entity is teleported to a location where a block is present. Does the game teleport the entity above that block or in the block?

[prisma shard]

@distant tulip

[distant tulip]

yeah that is unoptimized a bit

[distant tulip]

in the block, you want it to avoid putting the entity in the block?

[solar dagger]

Yes, I'm guessing I have to detect the block first? If present, move the entity up by one block. Maybe even higher if there's a lot of blocks above it

[prisma shard]

so, no way to optimize it?

[distant tulip]

you could do that or use spreadplayers command

[distant tulip]

is it custom entity?

[prisma shard]

no

[distant tulip]

what entity

[solar dagger]

I don't believe using a command would be wise. But thank you for the insight

[prisma shard]

its light block, trying to make a simple dynamic light thingy

[distant tulip]

huh, light block is not an entity

[prisma shard]

if (Math.floor(entity.location) === Math.floor(block.location)) {
  dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:pig", { x, y + 1, z })
}``` 
something like this, im guessing, (that is a example)

[prisma shard]

oops, accidentaly said light block as a entity

where is my mind at lol

[prisma shard]

i know- Math.floor doesnt work there- uh

thats why its an example

[distant tulip]

that is not a fix anyway

[prisma shard]

you will have to do y++ until the entity.location is air, then spawn it, (wait.. how would you check the location before spawning.. .hmmmm)

[prisma shard]

anyways, what would be an optimized way (i accidentaly said the block as a entity ignore it)

[solar dagger]

The dimension class has a native method getTopMostBlock

[prisma shard]

ooh, i forgor, yeah you have to use it

[prisma shard]

then its all fixed, just spawn the entity there

[dim tusk]

BRUHH.

No.

[prisma shard]

^

[prisma shard]

i forgor getTopMostBlock existed

[dim tusk]

I mean I know, how about you?

[prisma shard]

?

[dim tusk]

You also forgot that getBlockFromRay() also exists.

[dim tusk]

i replying to thi.

I mean I know, how about you?

[prisma shard]

good

[prisma shard]

i never used that so

can you tell me some uses of getBlockFromRay()

its like getBlockFromViewDirection() right?

[dim tusk]

yeah, but accurate

since getBlockFromViewDirection() has ray limit

[prisma shard]

also can ya help me a bit in off topic

[dim tusk]

Try looking at the edge of a block it passes through it

Unlike getBlockFromRay() it doesn't.

[dim tusk]

Huh?

[prisma shard]

Why does my VSCode auto-complete this?

instead of: js import { world } from "@minecraft/server"
Why is it doing this?

[dim tusk]

Because require is like import {} from? And vscode can read it but Minecraft can't?

[prisma shard]

but i have script API npm installed

is this any extensions doing that

[dim tusk]

and what's the connect?

[prisma shard]

connect?

[dim tusk]

what's the connect of Script APi npm istalled?

[prisma shard]

what is connect?

[dim tusk]

Im not stating here btw, I'm asking.

[prisma shard]

connecting is merging things... what would you mean by "connect of script API"

[prisma shard]

you mean version?

[dim tusk]

sigh

[slow walrus]

change the "type" in your package.json to "module"

[dim tusk]

what I meant is, what's the connect of Script APi installed to it auto completing it.

[prisma shard]

i see no type

[slow walrus]

then add it

how is there no type

[prisma shard]

still the same thing

[slow walrus]

did you do npm init?

[prisma shard]

nope

[slow walrus]

then how tf are you even using typings

[prisma shard]

any reference? i have no idea how would i do that

[slow walrus]

delete it and do npm init

the package.json

delete that file

and then in the same folder it was in, open terminal and run npm init, and then reinstall the dependency

[prisma shard]

okay..

[prisma shard]

but the typings work.

[prisma shard]

it ask for a package name

what i put

[gaunt salmon]

the module is it what ask for?

[lyric kestrel]

if you're doing the 2.0.0-beta stable, then npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

If you're doing the lastest then the top one

[slow walrus]

whatever you want

or nothing

[untold magnet]

uh, worldInitializes stable or beta?

[inland plinth]

stable

[unique acorn]

it's stable, but it got removed in 2.0.0-beta

and been replaced with worldLoad and startup

[untold magnet]

well, is it stable on 1.17.0 or 1.18.0?

[night acorn]

anyone know how to get the itemstack currentlyin the players offhand slot?

im trying to use getSlot() but its index based

[wary edge]

Equippable component.

[night acorn]

ohhh

i was using the inventory one

[unique acorn]

it is stable on on both

[untold magnet]

good.

[inland plinth]

[wary edge]

Not yet.

Planned.

[inland plinth]

[fast wind]

After the new update worldInitialize stopped working and so my code for custom crops now is broken. What was it replaced with?

I've been using it to register a custom component

[timid zenith]

Ummm

[wary edge]

System.beforevent.startup.

[fast wind]

Thank you

[wary edge]

Please open a post.

[fast wind]

Use system.run()

Oh read that wrong

I actually don't know sorry

[timid zenith]

Well

[timid zenith]

Ready

[prime zenith]

Can you use script to make npc dialogues

[unique acorn]

sadly no

[prime zenith]

How big can a title form body be

[wheat condor]

how do custom components work in the new 2.0.0-beta?

[wary edge]

Registered in startup.

[wheat condor]

i mean what's the event?

world.beforeEvents world initialize doesnt exists

[unique acorn]

it's now system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe()

the rest should be the same

[wheat condor]

ty

[coral ermine]

Why does js world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlockExecute 4 times?

[woven loom]

use property

[coral ermine]

wym

[woven loom]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe
if ( ! e.isFirstEvent) return

ur code
})

[coral ermine]

Ty

[unique acorn]

in the sendMessage part, you should do

world.sendMessage(celebrationSize.toString() + " " + string);

[dim tusk]

Motehr ufck I'm stupid

I didn't realized I'm using sendMessage

All this time I thought I'm using console

Mbmb

[flat barn]

Why does the Proxy native object no longer work?

[untold magnet]

uh, afaik there's a way to add emojis kind of things into the game, so try adding one somehow and apply it there.

-# idk how btw

well, try making the emoji longer

like increase the actual image size of that emoji, horizontally and diagonally and test if it works.

[unique acorn]

what's the event where when you press sneak it runs it

nvm found it

[untold magnet]

-# get the player input mode and detect if the humanoid-creature is pressing the sneak button or not

[unique acorn]

yep figured it out

[thorn flicker]

they said nvm

[untold magnet]

ik, im just giving him the hard way to detect sneaking

[thorn flicker]

[midnight ridge]

what is the best way to get the player inventory when he died?

[drowsy scaffold]

doing it at the start of the event before anything else is fired to ensure that it's gotten, easiest to do with Array.from() and setting a size component of the player's inventory size and then mapping that but also manual for looping is usable as well

[deep yew]

You can save the players' inventories in a map that's being updated every few ticks and/or every time the inventory is updated. After the death, you can just get the inventory from the map

[distant tulip]

just use keep inv and get it on death

[drowsy scaffold]

actually yeah this would be a better means of doing it

[slim spear]

Is there a way to check if an item stack is a block without manually inputting every block id?

making a pickup notification thing and i need to differentiate between purely items and blocks

so i can put item. or tile.

[wary edge]

In 2.0.0 there is a get localization key.

[slim spear]

any ideas when that is gonna be stable?

[wary edge]

No.

[slim spear]

[fallen cape]

Scaling the whole glyph file makes the bounding box larger
If that's what you're talking about

Yeah just make a line on a bigger scale glyph file

[prisma shard]

hey hey, can you give me your package.json (2.0.0-beta)

[prisma shard]

how did you detect picking up items???

[prisma shard]

btw can you share your package.json? (2.0.0-beta)

[slim spear]

the system in that video was detecting item entities but the new system i made js compares old and new inv every 1/4 of a second

[prisma shard]

ugh

[prisma shard]

ooo i see

[slim spear]

here it is if you were curious

function updateInventory(player: Player) {
    const items: {[typeId: string]: {amount: number, item: ItemStack}} = {}
    function addItem(item: ItemStack) {
        const key = item.nameTag ? item.nameTag : item.typeId

[round bone]

you can use a Record for items

Record<string, { amount: number, item: ItemStack }>

[slim spear]

what's the difference?

[fallen cape]

wdym

You want the package version to install?

Should be @minecraft/[email protected] or smth like that

[prisma shard]

nope, like the package.json file which generates after installing the module

[stark kestrel]

what was new applyKnockback ?

hurtEntity.applyKnockback(0, 1, 0.3, launchPower);

[dim tusk]

Entity.applyKnockback({ x: 0 * 0.3, z: 1 * 0.3 }, launchPower)

[stark kestrel]

thanks!

[stark kestrel]

hurtEntity.applyKnockback(view.x, view.z, power, view.y * power); will turn into?

[dim tusk]

Entity.applyKnockback( { x: view.x * power, z: view.z * power }, view.y * power );

[stark kestrel]

okayy. thanks

[prisma shard]

uh

how would i set blockVolume and get it again as a global variable, to do setType() on it?

@dim tusk

[dim tusk]

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

let volume;
world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  volume = new BlockVolume({ x, y, z }, { x, y, z });
});```

[prisma shard]

ujhh is there no way to get interacted block in itemUse?

i want to get the block interacted, but playerInteractWithBlock only works with interactable blocks

[dim tusk]

getBlockFromRay().

[prisma shard]

hmM ok

[dim tusk]

I'll send a snippet wait.

[prisma shard]

pretty genious workaorund lol

lemme see if i can do it before sending your snippet lol

do i have to get the first intersection using [0] in getblockfromray?

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
  if (source.typeId !=== 'minecraft:player') return;

  const head = player.getHeadLocation();
  const view = player.getViewDirection();

  if (itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:stick') {
    const blocks = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay({ x: head.x, y: head.y + 0.1, z: head.z }, view, { maxDistance: 10 });
    if (!blocks) return;

    const { block, face, faceLocation } = blocks;

    console.error(block.typeId);
  }
});```

[shy leaf]

this, in fact, did not work

[prisma shard]

thanks

[dim tusk]

Maybe it's fixed.

[shy leaf]

yeah

[prisma shard]

i want to set volume variable in itemUse event, and i also need to use volume variable outside

declaring it like this only works in worldLoad

[dim tusk]

Try it then.

[prisma shard]

i tried export let volume

then set it inside the event

then did console.warn(volume)

then bruh returns undefined, meaning it wasnt set

[dim tusk]

Are you entirely sure? Did you try to put values like string or numbers?

I will try it, if it works means you did something wrong.

[round bone]

if you want to export a variable between files and change it, try using some singleton pattern

[dim tusk]

And yes, it works in my side....

[round bone]

const exportingObject = {
    "volume": "some value"
}

export { exportingObject }

[prisma shard]

i had to go, sorry for the late reply, and yes. I tried with string and numbers

um i think it works

it said its read-only

so i removed the export and works

[prisma shard]

how can i get the messege that has been sent?

@dim tusk

how can i get the messege that has been sent?

[dim tusk]

Wdym message that's been sent?

[prisma shard]

the mesege that has been just sent by player

[dim tusk]

chatSend...

[prisma shard]

if ( mesege === "helo")
this just check for if the messege matches

[dim tusk]

and yes it's beta, and no I don't know when it will become stable.

[prisma shard]

but i want to get the whole message as a variable,, that has been just sent

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((ev, { message, sender } = ev) => {
  if (message === 'hello') {
    ev.cancel = true;
  }
});```

[prisma shard]

bruh

this just check for if the messege matches

suppose player sent a text in chat, i want the whole string in the script.

[wary edge]

Then use the whole message...

[prisma shard]

..

how

anyways

i think i am just being stupid

[dim tusk]

uhh, where'd common sense go? Obviously get the message properties

[prisma shard]

btw how do i setType in BlockVolume? forEach doesnt work

[prisma shard]

OH WHAT THE-

FU

[dim tusk]

fillBlocks...

[prisma shard]

damn, cant belive im THAT STUPID

[dim tusk]

BlockVolume, returns locations from point1 to point2, so it returns array of locations

[prisma shard]

messeeg just returns the string 😭 why im stupid

[prisma shard]

k
thx

[dim tusk]

for getting individual locations just do js const volume = new BlockVolume(); for (const location of volume.getBlockLocationIterator()) { Dimension.setBlockType(location, 'minecraft:tnt'); }

[prisma shard]

alr thats genius

but fillBlocks is faster

uhm uhmmmm\

@dim tusk so i just updatedd tto 2.0.0-beta today, and.. i think i just saw that system.run() works to give privilage, why is everyone doing global variablle or await null?

[dim tusk]

Not 100% reliable

why do that if you can just make that you store variable after world is loaded.

[prisma shard]

hmm

fair

[prisma shard]

uhm

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((ev) => {
    const { message, sender: player } = ev;
    if (player instanceof Player && message === `!set minecraft:stone`) {
        ev.cancel = true;
        player.dimension.fillBlocks(volume, "minecraft:stone")
    }
})

How would i make it for every block.typeId ?
like even if i type "!set minecraft:dirt", it will fillBlock dirt..

[dim tusk]

Doing instanceof is very unnecessary

Can a zombie or mobs chat? No right?

[prisma shard]

yeah lol ik lemmme remvoe that

[prisma shard]

lmao i was thinking of it

animals cant chat 💀 ahh moment

[prisma shard]

can you know answer the question then

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((ev, { message, sender: player } = ev) => {
    if (message.startsWith('!set ')) {
        ev.cancel = true;
        const blockId = message.substring(5).trim();
        player.dimension.fillBlocks(volume, blockId);
    }
});```

As simple as that

[prisma shard]

"as simple as that". regex is not for everyone

[dim tusk]

Hmm, very obvious... You're doing a world edit.

[dim tusk]

Tf, it's not even regex

Where'd you get that?

[prisma shard]

ok lol

[dim tusk]

message.substring(5).trim()
regex? Where?

[prisma shard]

i meant those string methods, i havent learn about them

so its hard for me

[dim tusk]

Substring get the text from 1 to what value, in this case we get 5 so it's !set including space, next is we trim(), its literally in the name.

[prisma shard]

hmm okay

thanks then

damn

cool

works liken a charm

[prisma shard]

uh- i removed the space after "!set " but it works somehow

[round bone]

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

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const { sender: player, message } = eventData

    if (message === "!hello") {
        // code
    }
})

[prisma shard]

solved

already

[dim tusk]

Sorry I made a mistake it's index 0, not index 1

[prisma shard]

what?

[dim tusk]

let text = "Coddy";
let substring = text.substring(0, 2); // Extracts "Co"```

[prisma shard]

so, change .substring(5) to .substring(0, 2) ?

[dim tusk]

Nono, I didn't say that.

[prisma shard]

hm,mmmm. fillBlocks cannot perform single fill greater than 32768 blocks

how would i divide it so, it would perform 2 fillBlocks if it is greater than 32768 blocks?

@distant tulip

[dim tusk]

Calculate the locations of the volume.

[fallen cape]

why do you even need it

[dim tusk]

get if the blocks are more than that if yes dividie that.

[stiff ginkgo]

is it possible to add multiple thing in one line like this?

player.addTag('max').setproperty('max', 1).getComponent('projectile')

[dim tusk]

That's not valid.

addTag().setProperty()

[stiff ginkgo]

i know but this there a way?

[dim tusk]

You're saying setProperty() is under addTag()??

[dim tusk]

why?

[stiff ginkgo]

i want to summon entity with setproperty and getcomponent

player.dimension.spawnEntity(projectile, direction).getComponent("projectile");

[dim tusk]

then put it like it used to do.

[dim tusk]

const entity = Dimension.spawnEntity();
const projectile = entity.getComponent('projectile');
projectile.owner = player;

entity.nameTag = 'bruh';```

[prisma shard]

wdym then

[stiff ginkgo]

how to teleport entity like tp @s ^^^5

[boreal siren]

Guys, how can I use the beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock event to determine the color of a bed?

[dim tusk]

I'm not entirely sure but you can check if it has states that corresponds to color by doing.js world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({ block, player }) => { if (block.typeId === 'minecraft:bed') { console.error(JSON.stringify(block.permutation.getAllStates())); } });

[boreal siren]

{"direction":2,"head_piece_bit":false,"occupied_bit":false}

There is no mention of color here.

[dim tusk]

const entity = ...; // Your entity
const distance = 5; // How far to teleport forward

const view = entity.getViewDirection();
const head = entity.getHeadLocation();

entity.teleport({
    x: head.x + view.x * distance,
    y: (head.y + 0.1) + view.y * distance,
    z: head.z + view.z * distance
});```

[dim tusk]

Then unfortunately you can't.

[boreal siren]

0_0

[prisma shard]

omg hel naw

bro wrote a whole script for me

who told you to make a whole script

💀 .

[prisma shard]

uhm

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((ev) => {
    const { message, sender: player } = ev;
    if (!message.startsWith('!set ')) return
    ev.cancel = true
     player.dimension.fillBlocks(volume, message.split(" ")[1])
})

would that work too?
what is the difference between yours and this?

[dim tusk]

Can I be annoying?

[prisma shard]

what

[distant tulip]

sure

[prisma shard]

whats going on

[dim tusk]

wtf is a math.cbrt

[dim tusk]

cuberoot

[slim spear]

oh

[remote oyster]

Hi Google

[prisma shard]

Hello, how can i help you today?

[dim tusk]

I definitely missed something from rawdogging it.

[prisma shard]

i miss the days when "several peoples are typing" in this channel

[distant tulip]

would be cool if there is a general root function that you pass it n and it uses that for
root(number, n)

[distant tulip]

-# that function is ai generated

[dim tusk]

aww man :(

[distant tulip]

lol

[dim tusk]

fck u.

Never simplifying codes again.

[distant tulip]

lol, i mean you did a great job

[dim tusk]

the problem is I didn't understand anything, I just simplified it.

Especially I love destructing so much.

[prisma shard]

i am confused if i wanna use it or not..

i dont wanna make my sscript that complicated

[lyric kestrel]

It's not just interactble blocks. It's just if you click the interact button on any block

[distant tulip]

it is not that complicated, the main thing is that we used cuberoot of the max blocks to get the max cube size possible (31)
the rest is just us looping using that size maxStep

[untold magnet]

uh, how am i going to decrease the itemStack amount? (const itemStack = player?.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand');)

[untold magnet]

itemStack?.amount -= 1?

[honest spear]

I love this, did you make it?

[untold magnet]

has log

[untold magnet]

is it by getting the entity inventory or something?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[past coyote]

Will they add anything like this for getting texture paths?

[past coyote]

This might be better than what I did for my inventory sounds system

I’ll check when I can, replying so I remember

[lyric kestrel]

would be amazing if they did. But doubt it, at least for years

[oak lynx]

So like I am trying to do regions for my server and like I am storing player data in an external DB
any way to be sure that a player joining the server is the same player

I guess I can use a different server software that isn't pure bds for the routing server

[lyric kestrel]

pretty cool

[remote oyster]

If the server they are joining is the same then the id property from the player will suffice. Can have multiple players with the same name, each ID will be different. How you utilize that for tracking in your environment is the question.

[past coyote]

New pfp?

[remote oyster]

Yea, some time ago. Lol.

[fast wind]

How does the new applyKnockback work?

Before I used this to make a character fly:
const { x, y, z } = player.getViewDirection();
player.applyKnockback(x, z, 4 - Math.abs(y) + player.getDynamicProperty('acceleration'), y)

How would it work now?

I get how it works just not how to add speed to x and z

[unique acorn]

player.applyKnockback({ x: x * 4 -  Math.abs(y) + player.getDynamicProperty('acceleration'), z: z * 4 -  Math.abs(y) + player.getDynamicProperty('acceleration')}, y)

[fast wind]

Oh I just needed to multiply my bad

That makes sense

[unique acorn]

you multiply the x and z value by the Horizontal strength

[fast wind]

Thank you very much

[fast wind]

How do you make text like this btw? I don't want to look like a dumbass

[unique acorn]

you can replace the js with anything

js is for javascript

and code is the code

[sharp elbow]

Please use variable assignment for acceleration 🙁

If doing that does anything, it makes it more readable

[unique acorn]

that's how I code lol

[sharp elbow]

It's interesting seeing people's approach to variables. Some people minimize their use as much as possible. Others use them quite liberally

[oak lynx]

the routing server will be the same but the region servers will be different I will probably use that

[oak lynx]

me when 500 character long lines

[distant tulip]

i use it when there is a get function or functions in general, i think most people do it this way too

[wary edge]

What's your use case for this, curious.

[oak lynx]

prolly ui related

[past coyote]

Applying textures to button icons

It’s generally tedious

I ended up deciding to map items in a giant file that’s exported

[oak lynx]

for custom items I just made it so that the texture matches their ID

[wary edge]

Oh that's an excellent suggestion.

[oak lynx]

but for vanilla you kinda just need to have a big map

[wary edge]

I havne't messed with Server-UI that much and I glanced over that you can define an icon path!

[oak lynx]

My wishlist for script api:

• a method that can get an area of blocks because getBlock() is slow
• commands without namespaces (in case of no conflict)
• ability to get player XUID
• ability to use node js workers 🗣️
• other stuff I forgot about

[wary edge]

Isn't the first one possible with blockvolume? I thought that's what it was for.

[supple reef]

minecraft updates is shit

[wary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[oak lynx]

no you need to iterate over all the blocks and use getBlock() (it takes forever)

[stuck ibex]

what

u mean like putting icon on buttons?

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server-ui/1.3.0/classes/ActionFormData.html#button

[slow walrus]

you want a method to get a 3d array of blocks?

[oak lynx]

I just need blocks in a format I can store in an external DB
you don't need a 3d array if you know the size of the area

[untold magnet]

uh, why is my itemStack not decreasing?
i tried all of those:
itemStack.amount--;
itemStack.amount -= 1;
itemStack.amount = itemStack.amount - 1
and i tried having all of them inside of system.run(() => {***}) and still not working for some reason

btw const itemStack = player?.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand');

[unique acorn]

const itemStack = player?.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand');
itemStack.amount -= 1;
player?.getComponent('equippable')?.setEquipment("Mainhand", itemStack);

maybe you're not placing it back into the inventory

[open urchin]

itemStacks are like block permutations, modifying them has no in-game impact
you need to set the player's equipment again after modifying the itemStack

[untold magnet]

more specifically, beforeEvents/block?.registerCustomComponent/onPlayerInteract({player, block}) {

[untold magnet]

its now working but its bugged with 1 item ( i know how to fix that btw )

[unique acorn]

👍

[lyric kestrel]

I've got something pretty cool to show in about an hour when I get back

I was going to send a video now, but I realised a texture path issue

[coral ermine]

Why does this error happen?

const ids = [
   "minecraft:coal_ore": "minecraft:coal"
];
const id = ids[block.typeId]
player.dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(id), { x: x + 0.5, y: y + 0.5, z: z + 0.5 });```

error: ```[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Native variant type conversion failed. Function argument [0] expected type: string | ItemType at ItemStack(native)```

[unique acorn]

const ids = {
   "minecraft:coal_ore": "minecraft:coal"
};
const id = ids[block.typeId]
player.dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(id), { x: x + 0.5, y: y + 0.5, z: z + 0.5 });

use {} instead of [] in ids

[coral ermine]

same error

[unique acorn]

make sure the item type id is correct

otherwise it won't work

[coral ermine]

ty it worked

[warped blaze]

isn't there a way to make custom slash commands without namespaces? 😭

[unique acorn]

for now, there is no way

[warped blaze]

Do you know if it will be possible in the future? Or will it stay that way?

[unique acorn]

a lot of people have been saying to get rid of the namespace but at the moment nobody really knows except for the people that work at mojang

-# im betting that SmokeyStack knows if they will tho, he knows too much

[timid zenith]

A question there is no tuturial of how to create a custom item and with that item one can open a user interface

[unique acorn]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/addcustomitems?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

you can use itemUse after event to open form

[timid zenith]

Well, thank you

[timid zenith]

:v I don't know the item sjsj

[dim tusk]

Just check if the current amount is 1 if he's undefined the one you will place otherwise keep decreasing it.

[untold magnet]

( ( i know how to fix that btw ) )

[timid zenith]

Does anyone know why I don't see the dam um

[distant tulip]

Your item have a syntax error

[timid zenith]

The item already appeared but it doesn't open the menu ui

[ivory bough]

how to force the player to look at an entity?

[leaden elbow]

does anyone have an extrrnal event handler

[prime zenith]

What is the script method to play a vanilla sound

[dim tusk]

Dimension.playSound()

Player.playSound()

[thorn flicker]

dimension.playSound('use.wood', {x: 0, y: 0, z: 0})

[prime zenith]

So not player.playsounf

[thorn flicker]

or you can use the method on the player class which plays the sound just to them

[prime zenith]

Minus my typos

[thorn flicker]

2 different purposes.

[prime zenith]

Thats what i want

[thorn flicker]

so use the player method

[prime zenith]

I got to wait 2 minutes to test cause i didnt add a debug to speed up or reduce time

[thorn ocean]

Is it me, or does applyKnockback not work on players anymore? I am already using the new syntax and it works on every entity except the player.

[leaden elbow]

is there a way to check if provided type id is mob, item, or something? like for example, minecraft:diamond returns item

or just an array of type ids

and also how to get Entity as Player? just like in EntityDie, i want to get damagingEntity as a Player

[prime zenith]

What is the sound for signing a book i think its signing a book sound im thinking of

Wait no when a page is turned hold on let me listen for the sound i need

Ok its when page is turned

Nvm found it

[fallen hearth]

How can I identify the last item the player received via /give?

[cold grove]

you can detect new items on the inventory

but you cant know if its from a command

[dim tusk]

Probably only you, it works fine with mine.

[dim tusk]

you can do, get() it will return undefined if it doesn't exist in the array of it...js ItemTypes.get('<name>') EntityTypes.get('<name>') BlockTypes.get('<name>')while if you plan getting all IDs available, just do getAll() in any of that above...

[dim tusk]

??js world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ deadEntity, damageSource: { damagingEntity, damagingProjectile, cause } }) => { if (deadEntity.typeId === 'minecraft:player') { // ... } });

[thorn ocean]

Are u using the 2.0.0-beta?

[dim tusk]

yeah.

[thorn ocean]

Can I show u my code then?

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source }) => {
  if (source.typeId !== 'minecraft:player') return;

  const view = source.getViewDirection();

  if (itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:stick') {
    system.run(() => source.applyKnockback({ x: view.x * 2, z: view.z * 2 }, view.y) );
  }
});```

[thorn ocean]

Well this is my code: ```function* liquidRun() {
for (const DimensionTypo of DimensionTypes.getAll()) {
world.getDimension(DimensionTypo.typeId).getEntities().filter((ent) => {
let block = ent.dimension.getBlock(ent.location);
if (block == undefined) return false;
if (customLiquids.includes(block.typeId)) return true;
}).forEach((ent) => {

        try {
            ent?.applyKnockback({ x: 0, z: 0 }, 0.01);
            ent?.addEffect("slowness", 10, { amplifier: 2, showParticles: false });
            if (ent.typeId == "minecraft:player") {
                ent.runCommand("effect @s slow_falling 1 240 true");
            };
        } catch (e) { };
    });
}

}```

[leaden elbow]

does this also work on custom item ids and not minecraft: ids?

[dim tusk]

yes.

It returns EVERYTHING that is available in the world even custom ones.

[dim tusk]

What's the purpose?

[thorn ocean]

It's a function that gets every entity inside a valid custom liquid block and applies a knockback every tick to slow the entity down as it falls. I was trying to use knockback instead of using effects.

I was trying to see if I could slow down an entity (mainly a player) without using effects, as I plan to expand on such a thing in the future.

In fact I'm starting to think that applyKnockback for players DOES NOT WORK in system.run events.

And I mean without being included INSIDE world.beforeEvents or world.afterEvents.

[midnight ridge]

minecraft start destroying

[thorn ocean]

At least in 2.0.0 beta.

[dim tusk]

Then why does this work?

[thorn ocean]

Because it's inside a world.beforeEvent, my function is in a system.runInterval that runs continuously. It doesn't run after a specific event happens.

At least that is what I'm assuming.

[dim tusk]

Uhh no?

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    const view = player.getViewDirection();

    if (player.isSneaking) player.applyKnockback({ x: view.x, z: view.z }, view.y);
  }

[thorn ocean]

Hold on let me see if this works.

[thorn ocean]

It's not working for some reason.

[sharp elbow]

Out of curiosity, what device are you testing on?

[thorn ocean]

Mobile.

[sharp elbow]

Android?

[thorn ocean]

Yep.

[sharp elbow]

That could be it, actually

[thorn ocean]

You're joking.

[sharp elbow]

Do you take knockback from other mobs when they hit you?

[thorn ocean]

I actually don't.

[sharp elbow]

Then applyKnockback will not push you around, either

[thorn ocean]

But what's causing that?

[fallow carbon]

oh boy, as far as we know thats a platform specific bug, not 100% what the trigger for it is but we have had it happen when the player is in an npc dialog and the npc is removed using the remove method in scripting.

if you find a way to fix it please let us know 🙂

[sharp elbow]

It might trigger in other conditions too, that's just the only one Fetchbot and I know about

Affects Nintendo Switch too.

Oddly, not any other platform. PC is totally fine

But the player not being pushed can also happen through more conventional means. For example, if you set the "minecraft:knockback_resistance" component to 1 on the player, applyKnockback will not push them either

[thorn ocean]

I have no idea what these conditions might be, but ur right. I went into another world, took knockback, and the applyKnockback worked.

[thorn ocean]

I never modified the player file, so I know that ain't it. I probably ran into the bug unintentionally and now I'm just suffering lol.

[sharp elbow]

Likely. Sorry to hear you are another victim of the weird bug

[thorn ocean]

It's fine. Hope Mojang fixes it soon.

[thorn ocean]

Look's like your code and even my code was fine lol. I was just a victim of a bug.

That is a #1067869136606220288 question. Your custom item is invalid.

[valid ice]

hey also @wary edge , that issue I was having with the startup event not being subscribed to- I solved it with a buttload of dynamic imports and globalThis's in a worldLoad event

I hate it, but it works

[valid ice]

what do you expect me to do, then

[wary edge]

It's not a you thing. I completely understand the need for why 2.0.0 executes the way it does...but it leads to a mess of upgrading from 1.X.X....Im so glad its still beta.

[prisma shard]

bro are you a teacher damn theese gifs how do you make

[prisma shard]

if (lores.length === 0) return;

why does this line return error

i am having a stroke fixing my script

[sharp elbow]

The only error I would expect that to throw is "cannot read property 'length' of undefined"

Are you not checking if lores is an array first?

There's a couple of ways to check that:

if (lores && lores.length === 0) return;
if (Array.isArray(lores) && lores.length === 0) return;
if (lores?.length === 0) return;

[prisma shard]

yes yes, it is this error Cannot read property "length" of undefined

It only happens, when you break a block, with a "empty hand"

(since it is in playerBreakBlockEvent)

I think it is bcoz it cant get lore lenght of hand

[sharp elbow]

That's a fair assessment. Then I would first check if getItem() on the container / slot returns undefined

[prisma shard]

h,mmmmmmm

seems like a chaining operator fixed them

ok i should really practice using chaining operator

[leaden elbow]

whats the event for player obtaining or picking up an item

[prisma shard]

hmm

So anyone can help me how could i do this

So..

It's a custom enchantment table, where the 1st slot is tool, 2nd slot is enchantment book, 3rd slot is result. So when we take the result, the 1st and 2nd slot doesn't get remove, we have to do it by scripting.

But this makes that. when 3rd slot is empty (meaning result item is taken) we clear 1st and 2nd slot

But this would do even, when we put the item and book there, they get cleared automatically

bcoz the result coming is slow, the result item appears after some delay

and it thinks that result item has been taken,

so the items get cleared without even taking the result item.

^
Can anyone help me with this problem?

i have no idea how could i fix this now

?

[sharp elbow]

I'm not sure I understand. To me it seems reasonable to have the inputs only be consumed after the check for a valid recipe; are you consuming the inputs and determining the outputs in separate logic loops?

Something like the following pseudocode:

function customEnchantingLoop() {
  slot1 = get slot 1
  slot2 = get slot 2
  output = recipeLookup(slot1, slot2)
  if (output) {
    slot3 = get slot 3
    slot3.setItem(output)
    slot1.setItem(undefined)
    slot2.setItem(undefined)
  }
}

Or, if the 3rd slot is set to the enchanting result and must be taken, then you should design the table with a state in mind, so you can compare information across ticks

But I'm taking shots in the dark at how you have it structured

[prisma shard]

ok we should move to a help post

i am gonna post the script there

uhhhhhhh

wasn't there a clearInterval()

I cant find it

there is only clearRun() and clearJob()

whattt

@dim tusk

[thorn flicker]

clearRun works for runInterval

[prisma shard]

hmmm oh bruh

[dim tusk]

Why tag me 😭

[prisma shard]

lol sorry..

    // 5% chance of getting frozen
    if (isFrostAspect && Math.floor(Math.random()) < 0.05) {

        //freeze entity for 3 seconds
        const interval = system.runInterval(() => { 
            victim.clearVelocity();
            victim.teleport({ x: victim.location.x, y: victim.location.y, z: victim.location.z });
        });
        //stop freezing if the entity is dead
        if (!victim.isValid) {
            system.clearRun(interval);
        };
        //release entity after 3 seconds
        system.runTimeout(() => {
            system.clearRun(interval);
        }, 60);
    
    };```

Cma anyone tell me why this isn't working?

the 5% chance is not working

also, even when the entity is dead, the interval keeps running

[shy leaf]

try a runTimeout with for loop value as tick value

instead of using runInterval

[prisma shard]

how

[shy leaf]

or... make a runInterval somewhere and do getEntities to run the function when its true

[prisma shard]

oh

ok k

[shy leaf]

also for freezing entities, try setting movement conponent value to 0

[prisma shard]

but the 5% isnt work it is always true

[prisma shard]

Oh! how would i do i?

in was thinkin abt it

[shy leaf]

im on phone rn i cant make a quick code

[prisma shard]

alr

np

[shy leaf]

one handed too cuz i have a coffee on my other hand

[prisma shard]

haha

[shy leaf]

this is funny cuz i used to be able to make quick codes on my phone

but it became hard to do ever since i started using visual studio code

[valid ice]

Math.floor(Math.random()) will always return 0

[prisma shard]

ooo

[valid ice]

So… “0 is less than 0.05” is always true..

[prisma shard]

so remove Math.floor

[valid ice]

Yes

[prisma shard]

alr thanks!

[prisma shard]

how would i set entity;s movement conponent

victim.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Movement).setCurrentValue(0)

tried this didnt work

[valid ice]

Dunno

[shy leaf]

that should work though

hmm

[echo tinsel]

Could anyone help me with script for making 4 custom loot items drop with (very low and progressively lower rates) when any mob dies, I would like to make it work with add on mob?

I don't know what info I'm supposed to be looking at for this

May have found it. Is it EntityDieAfterEventSignal?

[true isle]

using oninteract how the hell do i get a block to change permutation/state with any or no item selected ?

[dim tusk]

block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState('<name>', <value>))

[true isle]

so its not permutation.resolve got it

[dim tusk]

You can also use that, resolve resets the states you didn't defined to default one, while with state only change what you changed and it retains the rest.

[distant gulch]

Why did RunCommandAsync and what’s the new command for it?

[leaden elbow]

how to get the item that is dropped by block after breaking it? can i use PlayerBreakBlock event for it

[shy leaf]

runCommand is the way

[buoyant canopy]

can we read the color of a bed item somehow?
typeId for both the block and the item is minecraft:bed

(and I don't want to place all the colors in a barrel and compare my item with it again)

[distant tulip]

Kinda, with runCommand

[buoyant canopy]

the clear command?

[distant tulip]

testfor + hasitem property
loop through the 16 colors

Used it in my banner markers addon

[buoyant canopy]

oh yeah! i forgot about the hasitem target selector

thank you for helping

[distant tulip]

Yeah, tbh command can be more direct and faster sometimes

Your welcome

[shy leaf]

imagine the tickrate drop when doing this

[distant tulip]

In a small server, it doesn't really effect it much

[shy leaf]

thankfully

[distant tulip]

Actually, Beds still share same id?

[shy leaf]

maybe?

i dunno

[distant tulip]

Alr, i will double check when i can

[buoyant canopy]

yeah, i was surprised too

[leaden elbow]

how to get the item that is dropped by block after breaking it? can i use PlayerBreakBlock event for it

[buoyant canopy]

you can get the item of the block

[leaden elbow]

what property

[buoyant canopy]

block.getItemStack()

[leaden elbow]

how about if its BlockPermutation

[buoyant canopy]

same thing, BlockPermutation also has this method

[copper lake]

Can I have Script check for structure blocks and then summon entities on them?
If so, can I lay out an order in which they get summoned and named procedurally?
OR, if I were to make a list of the locations, could I have them be automatically summoned and named in order?
This is in 1.21.07 (education) so using server 1.11.0 stable.
Basically, I'm trying to modify one of the Education Build Plate worlds to be a little easier for the teachers to manage the students. I've already manually set up the world I need to use this week but it would be much nicer to put everything into a pack that could automatically do the added setup and save it all into a new Template world.

[prisma shard]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1342156231242023014

Is this what you mean?

I guess its perfect for you

but else than idk

[rapid nimbus]

Hey @dim tusk

[leaden elbow]

just broke diamond ore with PlayerBreakBlock event but it doesnt detect, especially in getItemStack. how to know what loot was dropped by that block?

[dim tusk]

What?

[dim tusk]

Mix playerBreakBlock and entitySpawn.

There's no 100% accurate way to get it.

[rapid nimbus]

@dim tusk Let me ask, does the findClosedBiome script work across dimensions when searching for recent biomes?

[dim tusk]

umm, it depends... Since it's under dimensions it will work based on that dimension only... if you do world.getDimension('overworld').findClosestBiome() it will work on overworld only, while if you do player.dimension, it use the dimension based on players current dimension

[copper lake]

Hum, not exactly what I mean since it isn't like I'm creating a pattern with multiple blocks that the detector could watch for. This is more of a script that I want to run once after initial world load to set things up whenever I load the world template.

[unique acorn]

do you mean the script will look for structure blocks in the world, then spawn entities on top of it?

[copper lake]

Yes exactly

a literal structure block

[timid zenith]

Nobody cobtest

[unique acorn]

it's very laggy to get all blocks in the world and check if it's a structure block or not, however what you can do is make it summon the entity when you place the block, it's better to make a list of locations then summon the entities there

[copper lake]

Ok, I suppose making more of a hard code setup script is reasonable.
So this world has lots of command blocks since the creator only used structures in the BP for it's creation.
I want to avoid having to manually edit and add so many command blocks. (world is created for up to 40 students, there are 40 teleports and 40 build plates and to do it manually, I have to copy/re-orient 80 impulse command blocks and then add selectors to them and add a chain command block to each of these locations.)
How can I use scripts to help me with all the command blocks? (I'm ok with having the blocks run a script event instead of adding more blocks.)

[unique acorn]

script can't edit text inside a command block, or edit it in general if that's what you mean, if you can explain more because I don't really understand yet

[copper lake]

Can script place a command block already populated with commands? (I don't think so but just want to confirm)

[unique acorn]

yes you can clone a command block

[copper lake]

I'm willing to give up the command blocks if I can figure out a way to do what needs done without them.

I expect I could change all the existing command blocks to call a scriptevent to procedurally handle what needs to be done.

I actually don't much like the command blocks since they can't actually tell who pressed the button or who stepped on the plate.

[unique acorn]

I still don't know what you're trying to do, so if you can explain please?

[copper lake]

trying to not clog up the general channel so should probably take this to a thread.

How to spawn baby variant mobs?

[north rapids]

Is there any way to stop the night from passing by when sleeping?

[thorn flicker]

you can trigger the event that makes them a baby

[true isle]

what are you trying to accomplish? the main point of sleeping is to pass night

[night acorn]

is there a way to stop join messages showing up

[night acorn]

pretty sure you could use player.isSleeping every tick or interaction and then freeze the time until its false

nevermind isSleeping doesnt exist

[cursive yacht]

Specifically? What event are you referring to?

[thorn flicker]

the ones defined in their entity file.

you can find vanilla entity jsons in bedrock samples

[cursive yacht]

Oh maybe you mean is_baby, ageable... etc, I've tried using summon but it failed, when I summon the mob it stays in adult version

[night acorn]

no you can use /event

[thorn flicker]

no

[night acorn]

or entity.triggerEvent() im pretty sure

[thorn flicker]

use the native method

[night acorn]

wait what

[thorn flicker]

yes

[thorn flicker]

you can

[night acorn]

but in API

[thorn flicker]

however theres a native method you mentioned afterwards

[cursive yacht]

Which one?

[thorn flicker]

yes, use the native method.

[night acorn]

entity.triggerEvent()

[thorn flicker]

the one dismal mentioned.

[cursive yacht]

I think I should try this one

[night acorn]

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

[thorn flicker]

?

im telling you to do that.

[cursive yacht]

I don't really understand what you mean, especially since I'm still a beginner.

[thorn flicker]

im telling you to use the one dismal mentioned

which is the native method

[cursive yacht]

Oh I didn't read the name

Sorry

[thorn flicker]

its fine

[night acorn]

does anyone know if there is a gamerule or a way to stop join messages showing up

[thorn flicker]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/classes/Entity.html#triggerevent

(better than microsoft docs imo)

[cursive yacht]

Thanks

[thorn flicker]

doesnt seem like there is

[cursive yacht]

You can change the text in the resourcepack, I forgot how it's written, but the point is it's in the language section.

You can change the join player text to blank

[thorn flicker]

you'll still see the popup though

it'll be a tiny grey box

[cursive yacht]

Yeah, I find it a bit annoying.

[night acorn]

oh

how do you print a log to the content log

i can only find Logger in server-editor

[cursive forge]

console.log()

it is native js function

[night acorn]

oh

ok

how do you use translate strings in script api

wait hang on

nvm i dont got it

i know you can use { translate: "key" } but is there a func i can use to process them, because what im trying to do wont work

[untold magnet]

i dont think it is possible to detect the realife date using scripts, right? like writing the time last time the player died or something

[dim tusk]

You can.

[open urchin]

you can get the date/time of the server with Date

[untold magnet]

fr?

like detecting the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades?

[dim tusk]

Yes

[open urchin]

const currentDate = new Date()

currentDate.getFullYear() // 2025

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((ev, { message, sender } = ev) => {
  ev.cancel = true;
  const date = new Date();
  world.sendMessage(`§b[${date.toLocaleString()}]§r <${sender.name}> ${message}`);
});```

This will display date and time

good to know!

[livid junco]

In server aternos, the experimental API beta works?

[shy leaf]

how can i do applyKnockback without resetting the velocity?

[dim tusk]

It doesn't reset it right?

[shy leaf]

it does reset it

for some reason

[shy leaf]

using velocity directly into applyKnockback isnt 100% accurate

thats why

[sterile epoch]

why when I do ```js
entity.applyKnockback({ x: entity.location.x, z: entity.location.z }, 1);

the entity gets launched onto another planet

i thought the second argument was upwards velocity

[untold magnet]

uh, thats what i used it for #art-and-modeling

[shy leaf]

youre applying knockback with entity location's value

[sterile epoch]

yeah cuz I just want the entity to fly up

[shy leaf]

applyKnockback doesnt send the mob to specific location

[untold magnet]

its, not like that

[shy leaf]

the Vector2 youre seeing there is for direction

[sterile epoch]

oh

I'm so slow

[shy leaf]

yeah

[untold magnet]

it should be somewhere like this (0,0,0,0) ig

[shy leaf]

youd need { x: 0, z: 0 }

[untold magnet]

he probably needs Vector3 bec he's trying to make his entity fly up

[shy leaf]

...no?

applyKnockback takes two arguments

Vector2 and vertical strength

[untold magnet]

mhm,

im using this on my exe addon
entity.applyKnockback(0, -0.03, 0.16, 0); to make the entities moving

[sterile epoch]

I did this, do you know why sometimes my entity fly's a little bit and other times goes way further

[shy leaf]

oh right are you on stable?
