Script API General

[scarlet lynx]

Is there big changes?

[valid ice]

Yes

[dusky flicker]

what kind of big changes does it have?

[valid ice]

Mainly how the world is loaded up with respect to script s

[wise raft]

How can I get traits?

[woven loom]

what?

[wise raft]

these things from blocksjson "traits": { "minecraft:placement_position": { "enabled_states": ["minecraft:vertical_half"] }, "minecraft:placement_direction": { "enabled_states": ["minecraft:cardinal_direction"], "y_rotation_offset": 180 } }

[open urchin]

why

[wise raft]

because I need it

[open urchin]

which information

[wise raft]

the rotation

[open urchin]

block.permutation.getState("minecraft:vertical_half")

[wise raft]

oh

I wrote placement_direction instead of cardinal_direction

thanks

[verbal yew]

I need some help

[untold magnet]

step 1: go to #1067876857103536159
step 2: ask there

[thorn flicker]

if hes asking here, assume he asking how to get the states through script api...

turns out that was the case, if you read above.

[thorn flicker]

make a post about it, and tell people what the issue is

[verbal yew]

I did

[thorn flicker]

alr

[dense skiff]

Can someone give me an example for how to set particle colors using MolangVariableMap.setColorRGBA()? I'm having trouble actually changing the color value. Here's what I've got so far:

{
    "format_version": "1.10.0",
    "particle_effect": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "structool:outline",
            "basic_render_parameters": {
                "material": "particles_blend",
                "texture": "textures/particle/particles"
            }
        },
        "components": {
            "minecraft:emitter_rate_instant": {
                "num_particles": 1
            },
            "minecraft:emitter_lifetime_once": {
                "active_time": 1
            },
            "minecraft:emitter_shape_point": {},
            "minecraft:particle_lifetime_expression": {
                "max_lifetime": 1
            },
            "minecraft:particle_appearance_billboard": {
                "size": [0.2, 0.2],
                "facing_camera_mode": "rotate_xyz",
                "uv": {
                    "texture_width": 16,
                    "texture_height": 16,
                    "uv": [6, 11],
                    "uv_size": [1, 1]
                }
            },
            "minecraft:particle_appearance_tinting": {
                "color": [1, 1, 1, 1]
            }
        }
    }
}

Attempting to set color like this:

molang = new MolangVariableMap().setColorRGB("minecraft:particle_appearance_tinting",{ red: 1, green: 1, blue: 0, alpha: 1 });
overworld.spawnParticle("structool:outline", location, molang);

[dim tusk]

"minecraft:particle_appearance_tinting": {
  "color": [
    "variable.<name>.r",
    "variable.<name>.g",
    "variable.<name>.b"
  ]
}```
```js
const molang = new MolangVariableMap();
molang.setColorRGB('<name>', { red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0 });

Dimension.spawnParticle('<id>', location, molang);```

[dense skiff]

Mmm now they're flickering

Got it working thanks 👍

It was because I was expecting setColorRGB() to return the molang map but it's just void

[dusky flicker]

where do you find this kind of information?

[valid ice]

Was in the script v2 video on the creator channel

[sand saddle]

How can I filter players based on scores?

Help please

[gilded shadow]

anyone knows what is the difference between applyImpulse and applyKnockback?

[simple zodiac]

knockback is affected by side effects such as the knockback resistance from netherite armor

[winged root]

Speaking about this subject, I just posted a question about it. But since it’s more a discussion based subject rather than a question it might be more fitting for this chat. I am trying to find the best way to smoothly adjust the player position by applying momentum. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1361837344755552469/1361837346198257944/Minecraft_2025-04-16_00-50-44.mp4?ex=6800355d&is=67fee3dd&hm=ca2762aafacf9e0f1b4bd0f3e8b5ecf7f9b98aecae238dbb37d38c6a5f2bfb2a&

this is what I got so far using applyKnockback.

[woven loom]

that is really nice

[remote oyster]

That's really smooth.

I'd be curious if it can be done better.

[winged root]

It’s certainly usable but it is a bit jittery and player movement is not completely predicable. This is more apparent when actually playing of course.

[remote oyster]

I can see how the jitters would be bothersome.

[scarlet lynx]

Are they tryna switch people all to before events and stuff

[valid ice]

Huh? No

It doesn’t change current event firing; it just adds extra events and how data is handled when the world is first loaded up

[scarlet lynx]

So we can get before entity hit?

[thorn flicker]

no

[valid ice]

I don’t see how that’s related to the world loading… if you’re asking if it’s still possibly being added, then yeah, no reason it can’t be added

[thorn flicker]

entityHurt beforeEvents would be really nice

[valid ice]

Yar

[thorn flicker]

modifying damage would be great for configuration menus

[shy leaf]

please Mojang i beg you

[cinder shadow]

Took me 2 days to realize that my code wasn't working because I used inventory.length and not .size 😔

[cold grove]

Thats why you should use Typescript

[dusky flicker]

its just util for lsp, js with jsdocs would work as well

[cold grove]

Mmmm Typescript

[cinder shadow]

Weird when people try to act like a language is superior to others

Try using assembly next time

It's way better

[wary edge]

Minor oversight. Bro did not read the docs.

[cold grove]

Oh im just joking

[cinder shadow]

It was muscle memory 😭

[wary edge]

🙏 Muscle memory backfired.

[dusky flicker]

but rust is superior than typescript

[valid ice]

Binary on top

[cinder shadow]

Why would I ever give attention to a language named after old and errodded metal smh

[scarlet lynx]

whst language

[terse pulsar]

player.sendMessage({translate: 'text.ne:evolution', with: ['text.ne:sharingan1', 'text.ne:sharingan2']})

text.ne:sharingan1=Sharingan §4[1 Tomoe]
text.ne:sharingan2=Sharingan §4[2 Tomoe]
text.ne:evolution=§bYou Have Evolved! %%s -> %%s

Why inst working?

The menssage says You Have Evolved! %text.ne:sharingan1 -> %text.ne:sharingan2

[shy leaf]

you need to do translate for with too

youre using normal strings in that code

[idle dagger]

const objectiveNames = ["money", "top]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const objectiveName of objectiveNames) {
    const obj = world.scoreboard.getObjective(objectiveName);
    if (!obj) continue;

    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
      const realScore = obj.getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity);
      if (realScore === undefined) continue;

      world.scoreboard.setScore("fake_" + player.name, objectiveName, realScore);
    }
  }
}, 100);

Error:
native variant type conversion failed. Function argument [0] expected type: ScoreboardIdentity | Entity | string at <anonymous> (index.js:31)
error is at obj.getScore() line
how to fix it?

[woven loom]

chek for null

[shy leaf]

seems like player.scoreboardIdentity is returning undefiend

[analog salmon]

Is it possible to suppress vanilla blocks loot?

[random flint]

gamerule doTileDrop false

-# (pls laugh)

[dim tusk]

haha.

[half drum]

nyeh heh heh

[lyric kestrel]

I wonder if they're changing how API world loads work to prepare for dimensions and custom biome generation through scripting

[stuck ibex]

why would they implement those via scripting

[random flint]

Guys, how do I specify the players if they accept string[] in PlayAnimationOptions

using player.id does nothing

[dim tusk]

I don't trust you, is that a genuine question or nah? 🤔

[distant tulip]

did you try there name?

[safe stream]

can entities not be tamed by non-player entities via scripting?

[dim tusk]

Can entities tame other entities in the first place?

[safe stream]

Idk

wandering trader? no idea

[obsidian coyote]

I don't think non-player entities can tame other entities

[random flint]

no effect 😭

[distant tulip]

hmm

[dim tusk]

I don't think that's taming, that's leashing onky

[random flint]

Oh, actually nvm, .name work, a mistake on my end 💀

[distant tulip]

that is a weird way of doing it

[random flint]

Weird choice to use player name moyang

[obsidian coyote]

Providing the player instance imo would be better. hopefully changed in Scripting v2

[dim tusk]

Zombie apocalypse oh no.

[safe stream]

doesnt player.id return a long ass number just like any other entity

[dim tusk]

yeah, it's unique to that entity.

[safe stream]

does the player.id change from world to world is it unique to the account

[prisma shard]

I am tired of begging

[prisma shard]

Im going insane asking for this

[random flint]

it change from world to world

You're probably looking for "XUID"

[glacial widget]

💀

[obsidian coyote]

If I'm not mistaken it's supposed to be consistent across worlds but there are instances where it could change out of nowhere

[safe stream]

oh so it's not as reliable as player.name

[obsidian coyote]

Tbf, even the player's name can't be reliable because it can be changed at any time. I still prefer the player's id

[scarlet lynx]

What are you trying to do

If your trying to grab offline scores and names I have a system for that

https://github.com/BubblesToGo/ScoreboardClassMCBE

[gilded shadow]

is there an event for when an entity dies?

[somber cedar]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.WorldAfterEvents.html#entitydie

[devout dune]

Hey for some reason onTick is not invoking on my custom_component. The block has tick component. loop, etc.
OnPlayerInteract is working...

Not sure why at all. I figured if OnTick wasnt working, onPlayerInteract wouldnt either.

[cold grove]

Try adding the tick component to your block
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/blockreference/examples/blockcomponents/minecraftblock_tick?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

Im not sure, but it is needed

[dawn zealot]

can 2.0.0 be used on realms?

[valid ice]

Yes

[devout dune]

The tick component is on my block. I can place my block via command, or by hand. and onTick invokes.
BUT it is not invoking onworldload.
Yet the onPlayerInteract works...
So the custom_event is registering properly. But the blocks onTick specifically. is not working. Even with the block tick component

@wary edge Hey! Any idea why a blocks custom_component may not register onTick, when the world is loaded!

[wary edge]

So you place your block down then rejoiend the world?

[devout dune]

yes

to be more specific. I am placing a block in v1.0.0

loading the world again with the pack on v1.1

exact same block

but with a custom_component

the custom_component is registaering properly. because onPlayerinteract worls

[wary edge]

That seems like a bug.

[devout dune]

damnnnn. ive noticed it a few other times in other instances as well. For example. i spawn a bunch of single blocks, via feature rules. All of the blocks work with onPlayerInteract. But only half or so are invoking OnTick. Should i make a ticket

[wary edge]

Yeah, onTick has a 50/50 chance of actually ticking when placed via world gen.

[devout dune]

This is a known thing? so it is a bug? any work arounds? maybe just respawning the block when in loaded distance

[wary edge]

I know random tick still works so you could random tick and set the block again.

[devout dune]

Good idea ty

[scarlet lynx]

Hey would this delete any dynamic property that has the string Voter:"random like a player id"

    world.getDynamicPropertyIds().forEach((id) => {
        if (id.startsWith(`Voter:`)) {
            world.setDynamicProperty(id, undefined)
        }
    })

[broken osprey]

Can someone explain this error? [Scripting][error]-TypeError: not a function at <anonymous> (chat_cmds.js)

Side note, how to you add a new line on discord?

[grim raft]

is there a way to make a custom projectile entity to rotate to the player view?

im using this

let launchVel = 5;
        const velocity = player.getViewDirection();
        let headLoc = player.getHeadLocation();

        const proj = player.dimension.spawnEntity('ultra:revolver_bullet', {
            x: headLoc.x + velocity.x,
            y: headLoc.y + velocity.y,
            z: headLoc.z + velocity.z
        });

        const projComp = proj.getComponent('minecraft:projectile');
        if (projComp) {
            projComp.shoot({
                x: velocity.x * launchVel,
                y: velocity.y * launchVel,
                z: velocity.z * launchVel
            });
        }```

tried the methode that uses animations but it just rotate to the x axis for some reason

[dim tusk]

Yes.

[odd path]

Does anyone know how to increase the scale of an entity via script? 😔

[scarlet lynx]

ty

[dim tusk]

Not possible...

Scale's value property is read-only

[odd path]

I thought I could figure it out:

But I think I got it wrong 😔

[dim tusk]

It doesn't work.

Tho you could try it.

I may be wrong tho... :)

[gloomy wolf]

Only using entity events

[dim tusk]

You're adding velocity to head that's why.

[grim raft]

Elaborate

[gloomy wolf]

With component_groups changing minecraft:scale you can scale the entity up. But with scripts I don't know

[dim tusk]

I don't need to elaborate, you're adding the value of the head and the value of the view direction of olayer

[grim raft]

Arent they the same? (Idk nothin about how vel work)

[dim tusk]

Noo?

let launchVel = 5;
const view = player.getViewDirection();
const head = player.getHeadLocation();

const entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity('minecraft:snowball', { ...head, y: head.y + 0.1 });

const projectile = entity.getComponent('projectile');
projectile.shoot({ x: view.x * launchVel, y: view.y * launchVel, z: view.z * launchVel });

[gilded shadow]

how to get a player from playerid

[dim tusk]

getPlayers()

[gilded shadow]

ill check it out

[grim raft]

It was working normally with arrows then when I switched to custom projectile it broke

[dim tusk]

it's entities animation then

Not the scripts...

[gilded shadow]

interface EntityQueryOptions {
    closest?: number;
    excludeFamilies?: string[];
    excludeGameModes?: GameMode[];
    excludeNames?: string[];
    excludeTags?: string[];
    excludeTypes?: string[];
    families?: string[];
    farthest?: number;
    gameMode?: GameMode;
    location?: Vector3;
    maxDistance?: number;
    maxHorizontalRotation?: number;
    maxLevel?: number;
    maxVerticalRotation?: number;
    minDistance?: number;
    minHorizontalRotation?: number;
    minLevel?: number;
    minVerticalRotation?: number;
    name?: string;
    propertyOptions?: EntityQueryPropertyOptions[];
    scoreOptions?: EntityQueryScoreOptions[];
    tags?: string[];
    type?: string;
    volume?: Vector3;
}

i dont see id

[grim raft]

Tried the suggested methode from the bot but it worked as the vid I sent so I wanted to know if I can fix it w modifying the script

[dim tusk]

ummjs for (const player of world.getPlayers()) { if (player.id === id) {} }

[gilded shadow]

will getEntity work?

[dim tusk]

Yah.

that's much better tbh

[gilded shadow]

wouldnt it be better than whatever

[gilded shadow]

this is

[dim tusk]

I just suggested

[gilded shadow]

thanks tho

[grim raft]

Should I ask in entities channel?

[dim tusk]

Resources packs is better.

Try checking arrows animation and models.

[grim raft]

Other question, how can I make the proj go straight?

[dim tusk]

wdym straight?

[grim raft]

Like doesnt go down like an arrow

Not affected by gravity

Like a bullet

[dim tusk]

put high velocity or make it don't have gravity in Entities file

[grim raft]

Didnt think of that lol

Other other question, how can I modify its speed?

Wait nvm

[dim tusk]

the velocity in scripts

[dim tusk]

The variable you just made here.

[grim raft]

Was gonna say if I do that then it will fall near the player but I can just disable gravity in entity file

Ty for your help

[past blaze]

I finally started using the new custom command APIs. I really hope they come around to fixing the command descriptions, and adding the ability to type the command without the namespace

[distant tulip]

they said they might look into allowing the commands without namespace for none marketplace content

[past blaze]

? Are you implying that they intended it only for marketplace use?

[distant tulip]

no, if they ever allowed custom commands without namespace, they will enforce the namespace to the marketplace guideline

give me a sec to look for navi comment

[past blaze]

Oh you were just talking about the namespace requirement

[distant tulip]

yep

[untold magnet]

possible, using events only.
like "group_0" has the scale 0.1
"group_1" has the scale 3
"group_2" has the scale 7
etc, and via scripts, u activate those events by just entity?.triggerEvent('event:id');

[midnight ridge]

does script api has isRiding an entity?

[distant tulip]

ridingOn component

[untold magnet]

no, but u can detect it by getting the riding component

getComponent

[midnight ridge]

player get this component when he is riding somthing?

[midnight ridge]

okey tysm

[untold magnet]

player?.getComponent('minecraft:riding') ig

[neat hazel]

How to set item in hotbar with "Item Lock" and "Keep on Death"?

[distant tulip]

'minecraft:riding'

[untold magnet]

const smth = inv.getItem(slot*);
smth.lockMode = 'inventory';

[distant tulip]

<slot|item>.lockMode = "inventory"
<slot|item>.keepOnDeath = true

[neat hazel]

Thanks

[thorn flicker]

"inv" being a variable that stores the container class.

const inv = player.getComponent('inventory').container

[neat hazel]

Ok, thanks

[thorn flicker]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/classes/Container.html

[dim tusk]

What's the problem with the description?

[loud frigate]

is there any good reason why BlockComponentPlayerPlaceBeforeEvent doesnt fire if you have a block that has an item?

[leaden elbow]

can i lock chests using script api or like cancel the chest ui

[valid ice]

Player interact with block before event

[random flint]

I want translation key on item Lore 😔

[dim tusk]

iirc the % works

Didn't confirmed it yet tho.

[dim tusk]

I'm starting to be a bit OA in making these custom commands better and easier for me to add instead of manually adding registerCommand().

[chrome gyro]

I keep getting undefined from this, I am trying to target a certain entity and find out if it's holding an item. I've tried several different ways from the wiki to try and target the item, but nothing is working, any ideas what I'm doing wrong:

    for (const entity of world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities({
        families: ["cnb_ppl_emitter"]
        })) {

    
        const entityId = entity.id;
        const equippable = entity.getComponent('equippable');
        console.error(equippable)
        if (!equippable) return;
        const mainhand = equippable.getEquipment('Mainhand');
        console.error(mainhand)
        if (!mainhand) return;

        if (mainhand.typeId === `cnb:cnb_ppl_particle`) {
        const lore = mainhand.getLore()[0];
        if (!lore) return;
//...

[dim tusk]

Unfortunately the 'equippable' component is disabled in entities.

The best thing you can do is the hasitem command or molang query in animation controllers

[chrome gyro]

Ooooh ok Thank you, makes sense. Is there a way to figure out what item an entity is holding?

Oooooh ok

[chrome gyro]

Wait... why did you change your name again? Hahha

[chrome gyro]

Like a tag handoff through a function kind of thing?

[dim tusk]

I haven't changed it since April 1

[dim tusk]

yeah.

And it's better if you use animation controllers or function to run the command.

Not thru scripts.

[prisma shard]

Yeah i think its possible and needs script but you need some JSON along

[chrome gyro]

Oh ok, I haven't talked with you since then. I assume, though it must have been something before since it used to be a reference to "Filipino" in some way as your bio says.

[chrome gyro]

Ok, duly noted, thank you!

[dim tusk]

I haven't changed my bio, only my name lol...

And you'll be surprised at me having a blank display name lol

[prisma shard]

💀

[dim tusk]

nvm, just did it.

[prisma shard]

bro just changed his name llmao

[chrome gyro]

What the what??? lol

[prisma shard]

uh

[dim tusk]

I hate not having one Soo yeah, I'll be reverting it.

[prisma shard]

Debug scripts bot not working :((

[chrome gyro]

haha, Aaah there we go. That's the one I know. Anyway, thank you! I should have thought of that solution sooner.

[dim tusk]

Just one by one read your script.

[prisma shard]

hey coddy you free?

can u respond in DMs

[dim tusk]

Y...?

[prisma shard]

If you.. could help with making a addon....

i need some help w/ scripts

[chrome gyro]

Hmm any ideas on how to unpack the lore? I have the item number stored in it. Maybe I can use the getcomponent(“inventory”) somehow?

[chrome flint]

itemStack.getLore()

[chrome gyro]

Hmm ok thank you I’ll try it.

[distant tulip]

Did anyone answer you?

[loud frigate]

No but I can answer myself. It's because the scripting API is a total mess

[untold garnet]

how to disable watchdog

[distant tulip]

Don't

[untold garnet]

im working on a Chess AI

it does require a lot of computation power lol

im aware of the problem

[dim tusk]

Chess? Shyt I got PTSD on that

[distant tulip]

I encountered the same thing some days ago, it seem that block placer component only triggers the after event, do you need beforeevent for something specific?

[untold garnet]

so how to bypass the watchdog lol

i know its not a good practice but thats how chess engine works

[distant tulip]

The only knowledge i am bot sure to share lol
How much spike hangs do you get

Iirc there is a watch dog event under system.beforeEvents

Should be watchDog

[untold garnet]

system.beforeEvents.watchdogTerminate.subscribe?

[distant tulip]

Probably, try and see

[untold garnet]

for some reason when I add this event to the script it straight up wont load

I already imported from "@minecraft/server"

is it only in experimental?

running on stable

[loud frigate]

to alter the blockstate thats being place and prevent it from being placed when theres no solid block behind

also checking for a block face is solid is absolute garbage, such a basic thing and yet not decent way to do it (efficently)

was this reported? dont even know wheer this stuff could be reported

similar to .getRedstonePower() not returning power when block is next to a redstone block... scripting api is really a mess seems amateurish too there are way more of these quirks

[distant tulip]

you can do some stuff with itemuseon
not alter the blockstate part tho

[loud frigate]

actually no. even if you use that event the block still gets placed

so you do stuff twice if you for example place a block with item used

[distant tulip]

huh, well shit
lol

[loud frigate]

and cant even remove the block placer compoent as i need an item for 2d sprite and other item components stuff

and dont get me started on all the events.. if you add beforePlayerPlace component the player will swing its hand when clicking on the block empty handded... for some reason

[prisma shard]

Scripting is a mess indeed

[loud frigate]

and the onUseOn will make the hand swing ALL the times regardless of what player does. no context whatsoever...

[loud frigate]

not just scripting.
Ask the game for a minecraft:white_wool[color=red]
ah yes red wool that is....
oh animal mob family? yes that just contains goats
hardened clay? yup thats terracotta...

mob family? that has abunch of stuff including armor stand and NOT goats...

and why need for family whenthere are tags..
sorry for the rant but thisis all BS

[distant tulip]

Hey @spring axle , sorry for the ping.
Can you guys do something about this?
I am referring to the block placer component, It doesn't trigger BeforeEventPlayerPlaceBlock or Custom Components, it will be cool if it did or if not possible altar the placed block in the itemUseOn event? Either way we really need something done regarding this

[wary edge]

You should upvote the bug report (I think @open urchin made one). He's already aware of this in the OSS.

[fathom hemlock]

is it possible to make custom events?

I think yea

its impossible

I haven't made a bug report for it not working at all on BDS/Realms

[open urchin]

fixed in custom components v2

the arm still doesn't swing though

[distant tulip]

fixed the whole bug or just stuff you replied to?

[open urchin]

I haven't tested replace_block_item yet

[open urchin]

the client clearly isn't recognising that the player has placed the block so it's not fully fixed but at least the code in beforeOnPlayerPlace is running
makes building with the blocks difficult since too many get placed

[distant tulip]

it is only when replace_block_item set to true?

same with the beforeevent?

[open urchin]

what

the issue that has been fixed is beforeOnPlayerPlace being broken (not ever triggering) on BDS

[distant tulip]

ah, you were talking about BDS

[open urchin]

it is still broken with replace_block_item

How can i link my TS file to JS ?

the TS shows error when JS file is not open at the same time + the typings in JS don't show when TS file is not open at the same time

[terse pulsar]

Whent i use getComponent()? it returns a bool?

[drowsy scaffold]

/**
* @type {import("yourfilepath").yourinterface} 
*/
const yourVariable = yourDatatype

something like:

/** @type {import("./BattlePassTypes").reward[]} */
const rewards = [
    {
    //assume a rewards object here
    }
]

[prisma shard]

yo thank you very much!!!!

[lyric kestrel]

What component are you trying to get?

[terse pulsar]

item cooldown

itemStack.getComponent('minecraft:cooldown')?.getRemaingTicks

[drowsy scaffold]

is the component valid in that instance?

[terse pulsar]

Wdym?

[drowsy scaffold]

does the item have a cooldown component to begin with?

[terse pulsar]

Sometimes it has

But when not it send a error to console

[drowsy scaffold]

so then do isValid checks before trying to do anything with it 🤷

[terse pulsar]

Ok thnk

[loud frigate]

i mean you can create your own events but they will be fired from existing components or events

[wanton cedar]

Can anyone tell me why trying to set an entity enum property isn't working in this script?

theEntity.setProperty('wfir:prop', 'east')

It's trying to change the value of this property in the BP:

"properties": {
    "wfir:prop": {
        "type": "enum",
        "values": ["north", "south", "east", "west", "up", "down"],
        "default": "north",
        "client_sync": true
    }
}

I know the script is running, because there's another property that it's setting just fine. It's just the enum property that's causing problems. It stays the default and using setProperty doesn't seem to change it.

[chrome gyro]

This doesn't seem to work with entities since items are equipped to hand once given to them. And it doesn't seem like there's a way to unpack Lore within their container. Maybe I'm missing something though, here's my code just incase:

        const { container } = entity.getComponent('inventory');
        console.error(container)
        const itemStack = container.getItem(0);
        console.error(itemStack)
        const mainhand = itemStack.getLore()[0];
        console.error(mainhand)
        if (!mainhand) return;

[wanton cedar]

I figured it out. setProperty value applies on the next tick, not the same tick.

[wanton cedar]

How do I access the name of a block in scripting? For example, I'm after Oak Stairs, not minecraft:oak_stairs.

[deep yew]

You can just convert it using a function. Split the words by _ and then capitalize the start of each word.

export function getItemName(item) {
    return item?.nameTag ??
        item?.typeId.replace(/.*(?<=:)/, '').replace(/_/g, ' ').replace(/(^\w|\s\w)/g, m => m.toUpperCase());
}

[wary edge]

In 2.0.0 you can access the localization key if that helps.

[wanton cedar]

That's probably what I want... how do I access that key?

[warped blaze]

i think it's preview only

[wanton cedar]

Any idea where the documentation is for it?

[loud frigate]

is there a way to add features to vanilla biomes?

pretty sure ive seen addons do it, even if i imagine they were using hacks likespawning entities and such

what is the goto way?

[warped blaze]

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

[wary edge]

This is a #1067869232395735130 question.

[loud frigate]

ah so this must mean there is a proper way of doing it nice

[chrome flint]

you can't get the entities' main hand item at the moment

you can only get their inventory

[echo tinsel]

how could i check if a entity a player kills has over 80 health to then drop an item?

[chrome gyro]

Yeah... That's what I thought. Too bad, I found another way anyway, thank you. Np

[dim tusk]

If player killed a mob that's over 80 health?

Current health or max health?

[echo tinsel]

max, so anything that spawns with 80 health or up. trying to make it just bosses(and allowing it to include add on bosses) but excluding iron golem?

i think thats the only none boss type mob that spawns with over 80?

[thorn flicker]

get the health component and check if their max health is greater than 80

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/classes/EntityHealthComponent.html

to exclude the iron golem, just check if the typeId of the entity is not iron golem.

[echo tinsel]

Thank you!

[echo tinsel]

Like how you did the inanimate object?

[prisma shard]

ye

[prisma shard]

no

[deep yew]

Honestly sounds silly but I just want to ask:
Is it useless to just get the block permutation of each block in a structure and take a specific coordinate and use the structure blocks' relative locations to set each block using commands or scripts?

And if I wanted to use it for more controlled structure placement/animation, would it then be okay?

[dim tusk]

That would be slow, can't you just do it in one structure save?

[deep yew]

I know it would be slow, but I was just wondering if it'd be better that way if you'd want it slow. Purposefully slow wouldn't hurt the server with more complex structures, even custom sized ones, I'd assume

[lethal bramble]

I'm trying to get the block a player is looking at but it seems to be getting the wrong block

const blockRaycast = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay(player.location,player.getViewDirection());```
when i use the code it does not return the block that the player is looking at

pls help

oh wait nvm i fixed it

i was using the position of the feet 😆

[distant tulip]

getBlockFromViewDirection...?

[lethal bramble]

i did not know that was a thing

[distant tulip]

now you know

[dusky flicker]

people dont have autocomplete xd

[fathom hemlock]

ye its possible, but I mean word.after - beforeEvents. thtas prob impossible

[prisma shard]

yeah beforeEvents is impossible.

afterEvents are posible, if you need, i can give you my custom event script

why that "d"

[prisma shard]

idk

i am not that fimilliar with TS

[fathom hemlock]

I use it everytime but I can't import it

[prisma shard]

oh, its bcoz to make sure it doesnt conflict with JS

[prisma shard]

I dont think you can import TS directly in JS

[fathom hemlock]

typescript is so much easier

[prisma shard]

incorrect.

really really false.

[fathom hemlock]

why do I see in libaries ts files

[prisma shard]

?

lib?

wat libs

patchy api

[prisma shard]

patchy api?

what that

[fathom hemlock]

mc bedrock api

[prisma shard]

idk

I dont know much about TS

[fathom hemlock]

but I think it does smth

forms.js
forms.d.ts

but is it possible to make world.afterEvents.LOL

[loud zenith]

// for example, lets say this file is called "functions.js"

export function test() {

}

import { test } from './functions'

test()

With the new way minecraft load its world how can i make it run like so with worldLoad but i dont see how can someone show me an exemple

[fathom hemlock]

wdym?

[loud zenith]

When i try to import it it make the all thing bug

For exemple

[sharp elbow]

When you import code from another file, it imports the entire file. If you are invoking anything in the scope of that imported file, that is your problem

e.g.

# a_thingy.js
import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

// This line may throw in 2.0 when this file is imported
const overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");

export function init() {}

# main.js
import { init } from "./a_thingy.js"

init();

[loud zenith]

import {world} from "@minecraft/server"

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe( () =>
World.sendMessage("test")
})

import "file.js"
import { test } from "./function.js"

test()```

[loud zenith]

okay if the line with the const overworld cause problem how can i solve it ?

[sharp elbow]

You need to write more import-friendly code. I can only offer suggestions if you can share what error you are getting

[prisma shard]

Global variables.

let dimension;
world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(event => {
  dimension = world.getDimension("overworld");
})```

global variables fix the overworld constant issue

which returns a have not required priviliges error

[sharp elbow]

This works. That pattern can get repetitive, however. I would personally place those dimensions into another module that can be imported from elsewhere

[woven loom]

anyone know how to make VS Code use globally installed types

[prisma shard]

npm i -g <package>

[woven loom]

ye, I know how to install it

[prisma shard]

Oh if you mean make the VSCode 'use' globally installed type, just install it globally without opening any folder. Then you can use typings in any folder

[woven loom]

but vsc isn't detecting that

[prisma shard]

oh wait

uhhhh

[prisma shard]

I'm having the same problem lmao

I just realized

Does anyone know why my globally installed types don't work?

[onyx lantern]

does anyone knows if Mojang has any plans to make scripts able to intercomunicate with scripts from other add-ons?

would be extremely useful

[woven loom]

you can do that withscript eventss

[prisma shard]

yea

[onyx lantern]

wait, how?

[prisma shard]

there is scriptEventRecieve event

[woven loom]

trigger event and listen to the event

[prisma shard]

/scriptevent se:example

[onyx lantern]

but I cant like:
addon 1 with an input
addon 2 with the function, returns the result to addon 1

[woven loom]

u can also filter based on source

[prisma shard]

wdym

[onyx lantern]

and import files from other addons

[prisma shard]

why not just put the file on that other addon too

acts like import

[woven loom]

u can pass basic string args

[onyx lantern]

because if I needed to update the file I would have to update it in all projects

instead of just one

[onyx lantern]

how?

[prisma shard]

oh, can you getDynamicProperty between different addons? because iirc dynamic property saves in UUID, and different addon has different UUID

[wary edge]

Well this is where libraries come in.

[onyx lantern]

YES

[prisma shard]

Yeah

[onyx lantern]

thats it

[prisma shard]

lol

[prisma shard]

^

[onyx lantern]

I wanted to make a library for my projects

[wary edge]

🙂 I recommend learning how to publish libraries to NPM and utilise that.

I've done so with my adk-scripts-server library.

[woven loom]

u will need to sync that across packs

[prisma shard]

i see

by the way
is constant arrow function better than functions

[onyx lantern]

I have no idea where to begin with lol, can you point me to a starting point, please?

[woven loom]

doesn't matter

check npm site

its very easy

[onyx lantern]

but like how do you use this on a minecraft addon

[woven loom]

but u will need to install lib to every project

[wary edge]

And then bundle it.

[prisma shard]

npm i <package>
import {} from "@your/package"

you use like that in your addon

import your custom lib

[onyx lantern]

I never knew this was possible lol

I'm going to check more about this

if any of you guys have any tips or idk, youtube tutorials or websites that teach this it would be extremely useful

[prisma shard]

but either way thank you all very much for all the info!!

[patent bane]

how do i modify the durability of an item using scripts?

[thorn flicker]

get the durability component.

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/classes/ItemDurabilityComponent.html

[remote oyster]

I recall them removing support for it a while ago. Don't ask me when 😅. @honest spear may know? Hopefully I'm not confusing myself with something else entirely 🫡

[patent bane]

it doesnt seem to be workin

import { world } from '@minecraft/server';
import { hasLoreInHeldItem } from '../../../utils/utils.js';

const potato = true

function tryApplyReinforcement(player) {
        if (!hasLoreInHeldItem(player, 'reinforced')) return;

        if (potato) {
            const inventory = player.getComponent('minecraft:inventory')?.container;

            if (!inventory) return false;

            const selectedSlot = player.selectedSlotIndex;
            if (typeof selectedSlot !== 'number') return false;

            const item = inventory.getItem(selectedSlot);
            const durability = item.getComponent('minecraft:durability');
            console.log(durability.damage)
            durability.damage -= 1;

            player.playSound('random.orb');
            player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar('§r[§bReinforced Item§r]');
        }
}

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({ player }) => {
    if (player?.isValid()) {
        tryApplyReinforcement(player);
    }
});

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(({ damageSource }) => {
    const attacker = damageSource.damagingEntity;
    if (attacker?.isValid() && attacker.typeId === 'minecraft:player') {
        tryApplyReinforcement(attacker);
    }
});

[thorn flicker]

set the item back in the slot to save the changes made to the itemstack.

[patent bane]

oki

[honest spear]

There is no way, VSCode has deprecated this feature but you can change the path to the directory where globals are installed to be at the parent folder for your projects in that case it works as intended

[thorn flicker]

inventory.setItem(selectedSlot, item)

put it after the changes

looks like sprunkles suggested the same 2 mins ago.

[patent bane]

tysm!

[patent bane]

ah mb, i didnt see that

[thorn flicker]

its alr

[warm mason]

Make a check for zero durability.damage (because if you try to set it less than zero you will get an error). and I also think it would be better to increase durability in percent, not just by one

And remove this useless line

[patent bane]

tysm!

[fathom hemlock]

how to make floating text?

[random flint]

The easy way is to use an entity with a nameable component: always_show to true.

• A custom entity is preferable. But that'll require a resource pack to be rendered correctly.
• A vanilla entity could work without any new resource pack, but you'll be editing a vanilla file.

Shouldn't be hard to implement using max() and min()

[prisma shard]

ikr

but why it isnt just a native method

const clamp = (val, min, max) => Math.min(Math.max(val, min), max)```

we have to do this for clamp

atleast even a 1 line matters

[cold grove]

Is not a big problem...

[random flint]

You can actually delay players' clients to update their surroundings lol.

By overloading the client by sending and using player.spawnParticle, you can have them see a few seconds ago in the past.

Other player's perspectives would be normal. And it doesn't have any significant impact on TPS

[prisma shard]

Oh wait i must check out minecraft/math

[gilded shadow]

of what

[prisma shard]

here i want to get the player property
whereAs the detectJump is a function
and it will act like callback

How do i

make it a variable?

player.jump();
}

[warm mason]

function detectJump(callback) {
  // code
  callback(/* params */)
}

[distant tulip]

welp

[warm mason]

There are apparently no errors in your code. Mojangs don't like that.

[random flint]

• callbackArray

• detectJump(callback)

  • callbackArray.push(callback)

• the jumping logic

  • gather value to pass: info
  • callbackArray.forEach
    • callback(info)

[distant tulip]

lol, you jumped in without knowing the context

[random flint]

is that gud or nah

Yay.

[prisma shard]

function detectJump(callback) {
  world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event) => {
      const { player } = event;
      callback({ player: player })
  })
}

[warm mason]

What did you want to know?

[random flint]

You're adding new listener everytime you run that

[prisma shard]

How do i pass the properties of the events, to the function ?

[gilded shadow]

you can create a const outside the event callback then update the const with the data

[distant tulip]

we were arguing if system.run skip early execution

[prisma shard]

So that the properties of the event inside function, can be used in the callback like that:

detectJump((event) => {
  const player = event.player
})```

[prisma shard]

How

[warm mason]

const Listeners = []
function detectJump(callback) {
  Listeners.push(callback)
}

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    if (player.isJumping && player.isOnGround) {
      for (let callback of Listeners) {
        callback(player)
      }
    }
  }
})

[prisma shard]

oooooooooo

I see

[gilded shadow]

function detectJump(callback) {
 let player = undefined; world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event) => {
      const { source } = event;
       player = source;
  });
   player.jump();
}

[prisma shard]

Thanks

[thorn flicker]

there's playerButtonInput afterEvent

[prisma shard]

the Detect Jump is a example-

[warm mason]

autojump exists

[thorn flicker]

didnt think of that

damn.

[prisma shard]

player.jump() ???

also why set player undefined?

[gilded shadow]

just example

you can set default

[distant tulip]

event listener inside a function without unsubscribe
sound like a bad idea

[random flint]

One way road

[distant tulip]

well, the game crashing is the unsubscribe

[woven loom]

how

[distant tulip]

Some of my global types do work for some reason tho

What is the best way to visualize a shrinking border?

1. Singular Particle Walls (billboard)
2. Individual particle effects
3. Custom Barrier Blocks
4. Other method haven't listed

Thank you.

[dim tusk]

particles is better imo...

[real whale]

Can you send me an example of creating a manifest.json file for the script. I can't find it anywhere and I can't do it, it gives an error

[dim tusk]

tho not individual, just use one particle where it adjusts in xyz

-# not advertising...

[real whale]

The last time I tried to access this it was removed, that's why I asked

Thanks again

[dim tusk]

Ohh I changed the repo that's why

from com_project into manifest_generator lol

[real whale]

lol

[bronze pulsar]

I already have a particle set up, but I cannot spawn outside of loaded chunks. Did you just spawn it in whenever the player got close?

[dim tusk]

yes

[woven loom]

how do i make vsc auto compile

[remote oyster]

tsc --watch will compile automatically when files change. If you use package.json in your project then you can add that as a script:

"scripts": {
    "watch": "tsc --watch"
}

Then excute in your terminal npm run watch. Or just execute the command itself, but that script is good to have if others contribute.

[loud frigate]

Is there an entity animation event thing that can be triggered to make player swing it's hand?

[shut vessel]

hello, you knew how I can put my effects in percentage from 1 to 100% then make it so that when I put the scoreboard streng to 5 it gives 5% easily

[prisma shard]

Oh srry

[gilded shadow]

is there a way to load/unload chunks?

[dim tusk]

EntityHitEntity and EntityHitBlock

And no it can't detect hitting the air, either animation controllers or use old versions of script.

which I doubt you wil

[loud frigate]

I examined myself wrong. I want to trigger the player swing animation

[loud frigate]

If I wanted to do this I would just raytrace with item use event

[dim tusk]

for?

[dim tusk]

playing the animation? If that's what you meant, then no. It uses the variable.attack_time value to show much swing it plays, since it doesn't have value obviously the attack animation don't play.

[loud frigate]

So there's no way to make the player hand animaution play at will?

[round bone]

ticking areas?

[dim tusk]

recreate yourself, or create new animation and copy the attack animation and instead of using variable.attack_time use entity properties, the value is from 0.0 to 1.0

wait, lemme look

y'know how to use Blockbench right?

[loud frigate]

Can addons modify the player like that tho? I thought we couldn't alter vanilla stuff

[drifting raven]

What Vanilla Things Can We Modify?

Can

• Entities
• Certain Items(Any food items or those found in the windowsapp folder)
• Entity loot tables
• Features
• Feature Rules
• Biomes

Can't

• Blocks
• Block loot tables
• Items not found in the windowsapp folder
• Dimensions

Apr 19, 2025, 12:02 AM

[dim tusk]

.

[loud frigate]

Let me clarify, addons for the marketplace, I thought there was a policy where vanilla stuff shouldn't be overwritten and in my understanding to add an animation I would need to overwrite something no?

[dim tusk]

why are you overwriting it?

You can just add animation in the animations folder and play it using the playanimation command or playAnimation() API in scripts

[loud frigate]

Oh I see I see

I barely did anything outside of scripting, I need this because the interact events are so dumb and either always play the swing anim unconditionally or just don't play it at all

will have to look into it

[prisma shard]

it has no native method for add ticking areas

you do

runCommand(`add tickingarea ~~~ true`)```

smth like that it was

[gilded shadow]

how will i remove it

[lyric kestrel]

"worldSave" isn't correct

It's saying that worldSave is undefined

/ not correct

[prisma shard]

what is even a worldSave event 💀

chatgpt ahh moment

[gilded shadow]

worldSave doesnt exist?

[lyric kestrel]

It's not a thing

There's worldLoad in 2.0.0-beta, but no worldSave

If you're using AI. I suggest using Mistal AI's Le Chat

It doesn't make stuff up (most of the time)

[real whale]

Yes, I tried to add something in cpt, cpt is corrupted.

[distant gulch]

Wait that doesn't exist in the 2.0.0-beta.. do I need to use the newest beta for experimental

[warm mason]

🤷‍♂️

[distant gulch]

I dont know which versions are experimental or stable :(
2.0.0-beta = experimental
1.18.0 = stable??

Well, im using the 2.0.0-neta and installed the npm of it but it doesnt gets shown

maybe the npm is wrong, i got:

@minecraft/server-ui@2.0.0-beta.1.21.70-stable
@minecraft/server@2.0.0-beta.1.21.70-stable

wait

ughhh

I see it

guys

look

no namespace

[unique acorn]

how

[prisma shard]

HOW

Post that on #1067535712372654091

We need it

[fervent topaz]

its really scuffed

u wouldnt want ti

[unique acorn]

just say how

[prisma shard]

Yeah

Thats so crazy how would you do without namespace

Just tell us how

[wheat condor]

just dont write a namespace

[fervent topaz]

^facts

[unique acorn]

that's it...?

[wheat condor]

i think

[fervent topaz]

but no

i didnt do that

its scuffed

[unique acorn]

doesn't it return an error when you don't write a namespace?

[fervent topaz]

it does

[unique acorn]

then how did you do that

[fervent topaz]

ok ima reveal the method

u just do this

    const command = {
        name: "hello::::world",
        description: "bruh",
        permissionLevel: 0
    }```

and make the colon invisible

[unique acorn]

good to know.

[random flint]

A partial subcommand technique

[gilded shadow]

wtf

[gilded shadow]

how tho

[fervent topaz]

just do

[fervent topaz]

/effect : invisibility infinite 0 true

[random flint]

Does that automatically get parsed to be invisible?

[gilded shadow]

uhh

[gilded shadow]

im too stupid

[unique acorn]

wouldn't that mean you'd have to make a command for each effect

[fervent topaz]

yeah

defo

[random flint]

or you change the glyph texture?

[fervent topaz]

seems smart

but fr tho

just put this in ur font folder

[random flint]

ig you did...

[gilded shadow]

but wouldnt you still need to type ::::

[fervent topaz]

yes

i just pasted it in

so it looked like a space

[prisma shard]

mhm

Indeed very scuffed

[fervent topaz]

yes

[warm mason]

People playing on their phones will thank you.

[fervent topaz]

they sure will

[scarlet sable]

is chatSend not a stable thing?

[random flint]

No.

[scarlet sable]

brah

is there any way to read chat messages in stable api ?

[random flint]

Have a beta-api pack read it and pass it through script event to your stable api pack 💀

[scarlet sable]

nvm

I think you've killed some of my braincells

(I don't have many 💀 )

Wait you might have told actually the real way to do this

cool

Ah, yes, the obviously redundant and ridiculously stupid concept is being approved. I'm so proud of myself

[fathom hemlock]

how do I import a ts file

[unique acorn]

you don't

you gotta compile the ts file into js

[fathom hemlock]

why libaries are using ts files?

like test.d.ts

[distant tulip]

declaration files

[dim tusk]

Aww men, someone said it before me :(

[snow jungle]

this is real?

[fathom hemlock]

what?

[dim tusk]

try reading typescript

[fervent topaz]

yes its real

[snow jungle]

Do you have a example on how its done?

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


system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((init) => {
    const helloCommand = {
      name: "creator:hellocustomcommand",
      description: "Celebration super party hello",
      permissionLevel: 0,
      optionalParameters: [{ type: 1, name: "celebrationSize" }],
    };
    init.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(helloCommand, helloCustomCommand);
})

function helloCustomCommand(origin, celebrationSize) {
    world.sendMessage("Hello Custom Command!");

    if (celebrationSize) {
      system.run(() => {
        for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
          player.dimension.createExplosion(player.location, celebrationSize);
        }
      });
    }

    return {
      status: 0,
    };
  }

from https://github.com/microsoft/minecraft-scripting-samples/blob/main/custom-commands/scripts/main.ts

Seems to not roll any dice for me

[fathom hemlock]

but why herobrines chestui is using typescript or why patchyapi is using typescript?

[snow jungle]

your probably looking at the type bindings

[fathom hemlock]

if u can't import it

[snow jungle]

Which helps you see how functions are used

[distant tulip]

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-files/introduction.html

[fathom hemlock]

ohhhhh

thx

[dim tusk]

And btw, you tried it on phone?

[snow jungle]

I need to be on the beta 😔

[distant tulip]

i thought you are into something, lol
scuffed is an understatement

[fathom hemlock]

lol I can import ts files

[distant tulip]

you are talking about minecraft or third party software

[dawn zealot]

When i break a block how can i test if the crop was fully grown or not

[prisma shard]

Permutation

growthState

myb the max growthState is 7

Check if its 7 so that can u know if its fully grown

[dawn zealot]

So block.permutstion.growth() ?

[fervent topaz]

no

[dawn zealot]

My intrnet bkx broke so doin this shit on phone is aids rn

[prisma shard]

no

[prisma shard]

uhhh i dont rememebrr

check docs

about permutations

[dim tusk]

block.permutation.getState('..')

[prisma shard]

ya i was talking abt that lol

[dim tusk]

It doesn't work like a PC, it doesn't have the same effect

And yes, I used the font and 4 :

[dawn zealot]

Says getState of undefined im lost

[prisma shard]

block.permutation.getState('growth') === 7

@dawn zealot

[dim tusk]

console.error(JSON.stringify(block.permutation.getAllStates()));

Check the state block has.

[dawn zealot]

getAllStates is undefined

[prisma shard]

i remember u as i seen you as a Command guy somewhere, Osuea

[dawn zealot]

?

[prisma shard]

idk ignore it

[dim tusk]

Then the block isn't defined.

[dawn zealot]

But it is

[prisma shard]

Get it using block property in playerBreakBlock event

Or getBlock() if outside event

Pretty sure your just trying to detect growth when broken

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ block, player }) => {
  console.error(JSON.stringify(block.permutation.getAllStates()));
});```

[prisma shard]

Okay, why not just send the code

[dawn zealot]

Its on my pc

My wire to my internet box broke waiting to get replaced

So using data

[dim tusk]

noo? brokenBlockPermutation you mean?

[prisma shard]

oh yeah

block.permutation()
and brokenBlockPermutation property
Isnt it same thing it returns?

[dawn zealot]

4k quality

[dim tusk]

and what does it return?

[snow jungle]

17k subs and no screenshot button

[dawn zealot]

Cannot read property getAllStates of undefined at anon

[dawn zealot]

Internet box broke bud, no need for the comment

[snow jungle]

apologies sire

[dim tusk]

block doesn't exist anymore, that's why I said use brokenBlockPermutation

console.error(JSON.stringify(brokenBlockPermutation.getAllStates()));

[prisma shard]

What?

block property dont exist anymore?

[dim tusk]

There difference with block and block property my guy.

Read first...

[prisma shard]

Oooh

OK I SHOULD SLEEP

ITS ALL BCOZ IM BEING SLEEPY

[dawn zealot]

Same error

[dim tusk]

Try this @dawn zealot

[dawn zealot]

But what if its broken

[snow jungle]

its a afterevent

[dawn zealot]

I only need broken

[snow jungle]

how are you going to get data from a block thats already broken

🤔

[dim tusk]

just try it first pls?

[dim tusk]

brokenBlockPermutation exists, it's separate to the block property

[dawn zealot]

Still undefined

[dim tusk]

Are you sure you're editing the right file? Are you sure that the block has permutation?

[snow jungle]

Never been aware of that

[dawn zealot]

Its wheat and yeah

[dim tusk]

Since in the first place it should work, you can't tell me otherwise since I'm literally using it rn.

[dim tusk]

try sendMessage() to actually check if you're editing right file.

[vast comet]

what is your version

[dawn zealot]

Bro i am😭

[vast comet]

and are you using the beforeevent

[dim tusk]

then what the fuck.

[dawn zealot]

Yeah

[vast comet]

code?

[dawn zealot]

2.0.0-beta

[dim tusk]

before or after? Pls one answer.

[snow jungle]

It would be block.getAllStates()

[dawn zealot]

Cant provide it from my pc as my internet box broke, im using data atm

[dim tusk]

no.

It's under permutation, pls read docs first.

[vast comet]

👆

[dawn zealot]

I already said

[snow jungle]

no

[dawn zealot]

Before

I fixed it

Lmao

block.permutation.getAllStates()

[dim tusk]

source?

[vast comet]

... before event

[dawn zealot]

Thats old code

Jesus

[dim tusk]

And? Doesn't change the fact it's under permutation not block my guy.

[snow jungle]

what are you talking about

like seriouslly

[dim tusk]

I'm talking about this lol

[dim tusk]

that ain't valid lmao

[dawn zealot]

Right do how am i supposed to test if its broken if im using interact event then

[vast comet]

huh

[dim tusk]

block.permutation.getAllStates() not block.getAllStates()

[snow jungle]

show me in the docs where thats stated

[dim tusk]

excuse me, what?

[dawn zealot]

He told me to use playerInteractWithBlock event

[dawn zealot]

Thats what i asked in the first place😭

[prisma shard]

You guys are making Coddy frustrated

Just answer directly

Why argue

[dim tusk]

Ohh no someone didn't read docs

[vast comet]

lol

[dim tusk]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.BlockPermutation.html#getallstates

[prisma shard]

"" show me in docs where its stated ""
Like literally?

[dim tusk]

That just for testing lol

[dim tusk]

You asked me for my source and I gave you one, now... Give me yours for saying block.getAllStates()?

[dawn zealot]

Right... so then how do i test if the crop was fully grown when broken..?

[dim tusk]

what's the id does console returns for the growth?

[snow jungle]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {

    const { player, brokenBlockPermutation } = event;

    console.log(JSON.stringify(brokenBlockPermutation.getAllStates()))

})```

[dim tusk]

since the console will return list of permutation available on blocks, if you find one use it in getState('<name>')

[snow jungle]

{"growth":0}```

[dawn zealot]

{"growth":5}

[dim tusk]

Then use growth.

[dawn zealot]

What

Bro does not understand what im asking

[dim tusk]

block.permutation.getState('growth') === <value>

[snow jungle]

Use a beforeEvent, if the growth is below 5, then use event.cancel = true

[dim tusk]

I don't think he's canceling it, he just needs to check if it's in that state before broken.

[dawn zealot]

Ty.

[snow jungle]

Np, dont worry about these other trolls, sometimes they feel like they are inherintely better than others for no reason

[distant tulip]

brokenBlockPermutation is not in the before event in V2

[dim tusk]

ohh shit, I'm scared...

bro asks for source and gave him and I'm the one who's wrong? Oh noo.

[north frigate]

guys I'm bored what to code

[dim tusk]

Tbh, I talked to you properly but I guess you took it seriously? Then it's not my fault lol

[snow jungle]

Why are you being such a ass, just help the guy. Stop trying to bait me into a arguement thanks

[distant tulip]

-# that what he did

[dim tusk]

if you say sooo...

[fathom hemlock]

why is the item undefined?

  try {
    const currentId = event.itemStack?.typeId;

    console.warn(`[setItem] Used item: ${currentId}, target: ${itemId}`);

    if (currentId === itemId) {
      func();
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.warn(`[setItem] Error: ${e}`);
  }
};

[distant tulip]

anyway @dawn zealot brokenBlockPermutation is in the afterevent
sorry about the misinformation

[fathom hemlock]

just the debug version

[dawn zealot]

I got it ty👍

I do have another question tho

[dim tusk]

wait, I can use the this. in the function() right?

[dawn zealot]

Is their an efficient way to check like lets say a 3x3 area around the broken crop instead of typing out each coordinate?

[distant tulip]

sure
make an array of all directions eg
const directions = [
{x:1,y:0,z=0},
{x:1,y:0,z=1},
{x:0,y:0,z=1},
{x:1,y:0,z=0},
{x:-1,y:0,z=0},
{x:-1,y:0,z=-1},
{x:-1,y:0,z=1},
{x:1,y:0,z=-1},
]
loop through them and add them to your block location

[dawn zealot]

Oh god lmao

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({ block, player }) => {
  const { x, y, z } = block.location;

  for (let dx = -1; dx <= 1; dx++) {
    for (let dy = -1; dy <= 1; dy++) {
      for (let dz = -1; dz <= 1; dz++) {
      }
    }
  }
});```

-# oof, lag will say hi to you...

[distant tulip]

i mean... you could simplify that
const offsets = [];
for (let dx = -1; dx <= 1; dx++) {
for (let dz = -1; dz <= 1; dz++) {
if (dx === 0 && dz === 0) continue; // skip center
offsets.push({ x: dx, y: 0, z: dz });
}
}

-# not referring to what coddy sent

[dim tusk]

I guess it would be better, if I just make this into a class. Tbh

[dawn zealot]

I get it but i dont rly understand how to use it

[full idol]

        const allClaims = getAllClaims();
        let insideClaim = null;

        for (const [name, claim] of Object.entries(allClaims)) {
            if (
                hasFlag(claim.flags, CLAIM_FLAGS.LOG_ENTRY_EXIT) &&
                isPositionInBoundary(claim.start, claim.end, { x, y, z })
            ) {
                insideClaim = name;
                break;
            }
        }

export function isPositionInBoundary(pos1, pos2, target) {
  const [xMin, xMax] = pos1.x < pos2.x ? [pos1.x, pos2.x] : [pos2.x, pos1.x];
  const [yMin, yMax] = pos1.y < pos2.y ? [pos1.y, pos2.y] : [pos2.y, pos1.y];
  const [zMin, zMax] = pos1.z < pos2.z ? [pos1.z, pos2.z] : [pos2.z, pos1.z];

  return (
      target.x >= xMin && target.x <= xMax &&
      target.y >= yMin && target.y <= yMax &&
      target.z >= zMin && target.z <= zMax
  );
}

For a claims plugin that logs whenever someone enters a claim, is this bad practice? I'm using some code from this chat way back. This runs on the playerButtonInput afterEvent so I'm not sure if this is bad... like I get tons of claims will cause issues, but say like 30 claims

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

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { brokenBlockPermutation } = event
    if (brokenBlockPermutation.type.id !== "minecraft:wheat") return;
    if (brokenBlockPermutation.getState('growth') !== 5) return

    const blocks = getHorizanal3x3Blocks(event.block)
    for (const block of blocks) {
        //...
    }
})

function getHorizanal3x3Blocks(block) {
    const { x, y, z } = block.location
    const blocks = [];
    for (let dx = -1; dx <= 1; dx++) {
        for (let dz = -1; dz <= 1; dz++) {
            if (dx === 0 && dz === 0) continue; // skip center
            Blocks.push(block.dimension.getBlock({
                x: dx + x,
                y: y,
                z: dz + z
            }))
        }
    }
    return blocks
}

I feel like I'm always reading the wrong docs, but is there a reason I can't use this on the beta? I just want to check if a player is in creative

(I'm running this inside the before block break event)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/player?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental#getgamemode

[lyric kestrel]

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(e => {
    const player = e.player
    const player = e.player.getGameMode()
})```

[full idol]

Thank you! I'll give it a go

[shut citrus]

any example using getBlocks method?

[dawn zealot]

Not working

[fathom hemlock]

why is this not working?

    e.player.sendMessage("You wrote: " + e.message);
  });```

do I need to do const player = e;

oh wait its msg
