Script API General

[round bone]

or even 10-yo

[remote oyster]

.bat files is what started my hunt to learn more. My brother sent me an email that shut down my PC and I was so intrigued that I started soaking up the knowledge lol. Now I write code on the regular as a hobby and I tell people it all started from my brother crashing my computer when I was young haha

[round bone]

I don't remember

[honest spear]

i was 9 years old 😭 why tf was my dad doing to me

[round bone]

they're all trying to make us stare at the monitor and some characters for the most of our life

[wheat condor]

my dad just hoped for the billionare football player project. (i dont even like football)

[honest spear]

i restarted PC in the school in the middle of the history class and teacher didn't even notice and it was all in background so every stodent saw that except the teacher

i was bad guy ngl

i am sorry for that teacher now

i was a kid

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[round bone]

my classmates are stealing markers from classrooms

[honest spear]

nice at least not crashing the teachers PC

👍

idk why i know that password tho

[round bone]

is stealing from school better than a single restart of a PC?

they stole like already 40-50 of them

💀

[honest spear]

sounds pretty normal activity to me

boys do that in school

[round bone]

I'm just a chill guy who is trying to learn something at school

[honest spear]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i was also chillding but in different way

[round bone]

I had 9th the best GPA in the entire school

last year

[wheat condor]

2 years ago using only powershell and cmd i installed minecraft in the pc class, school pc assistants are absolutely a$$ at stopping you from doing something on the pc

[honest spear]

ohh

i thought we are talking about times that were more than 5 years ago

i am old

sorry guys

[round bone]

I am almost in the middle of high school

[honest spear]

i have to leave now

[distant tulip]

[round bone]

[wheat condor]

damn, i always do the minimum to get it sufficient to pass the year i currently have 5.7 / 10

[honest spear]

really?

[round bone]

I'm listening to teachers and that's the only effort that I am putting into school tbh

[distant tulip]

yeah, take a guess

[wheat condor]

minato older?! i thought you were like 18

[honest spear]

i am too shy to guess about your age

[distant tulip]

my dude is 7 years off

[wheat condor]

you were born perfectly in 2000

[honest spear]

what that means?

[wheat condor]

hes 25

[distant tulip]

late 99

[wheat condor]

9 years difference from me

What did i just see

[distant gulch]

neat

[distant tulip]

damn

[honest spear]

you are giving me hope, i wasn't sure if i would be here in this community for another years

i like this community and i wish i will never forget about it

[wheat condor]

i dont even have full beard 😭

[honest spear]

i have solid one

[distant tulip]

if i ever left i would come back from time to time

[honest spear]

don't tell Smokey, bc this topic is getting too hot for script api channel

[valid ice]

[distant gulch]

@wary edge

[remote oyster]

When I was in school, they used a proxy server to communicate between their systems in the network. It had a backdoor that was overlooked and it took me no time to find it. I targeted the printer in a teachers class and used Word to print off paper saying stuff like "Hi", "How are you", "I'm bored" lol. Never did anything malicious. Just playful.

[honest spear]

we should end this talk

[distant tulip]

eh, i had one from 17 lol

[wheat condor]

we should delete this chat

[distant tulip]

dude

[honest spear]

nice thats good

[wheat condor]

im still 16 and a half

[honest spear]

hew is new here

how got newbie protection

[wheat condor]

is smokey the owner of the server?

[honest spear]

CICI is

[distant gulch]

Wait were you fr? I was joking

[round bone]

you all are older than me

😭

[distant tulip]

it is alt, lol
the topic kinda die if you tell someone to move to #off-topic

[honest spear]

it was fun, i wish hight school was at least as fun as elementary school for me

[wheat condor]

nah i thought i am the youngest

[distant tulip]

dude, all we learn in high school is fucking word and exel
and a bit of algo

[abstract girder]

im the youngest

[honest spear]

so true!

[wheat condor]

excel*

[honest spear]

thats good you have a lot of stuff in front of you

[wheat condor]

in high school im just learning cmd stuff, excel, word, java (obviously using eclipse on eye frying mode)

and i choosed a scentific subjects school

[honest spear]

we were doing only python 💀

it was absolute sh*t

[wheat condor]

hey java, but on version 1.8

[distant tulip]

i remembered using a software to turn algorithm to code, pascal? not sure about the name

[honest spear]

but at least i know something about electronics

[wheat condor]

in 2 years of java we just learnt what arrays are 😭

[honest spear]

real

[wheat condor]

flowgorithm?

[honest spear]

btw i was learning a bit of Italy but nothing much

[distant tulip]

nah, it have pascal in the name iirc

[abstract girder]

bro

[wheat condor]

really? i didnt know italian was studied in the world

[honest spear]

6 months of duolingo

[abstract girder]

we in russia studying only pascal

[wheat condor]

oh i thougth in school

[honest spear]

nah

[lyric kestrel]

I really need to change my spacings in vscode. They're 8 spaces each I think 🤣

[honest spear]

💀

i use 3 personally

[distant tulip]

same lol, and it is in freaking french

PROGRAM bonjour;
BEGIN
    writeln ('bonjour');
END.

[honest spear]

@pulsar sparrow was 2 and i was 4 so we decided to use 3

[wheat condor]

in school i used to study french (i hate it) and BRITISH english (i also hate it)
US en > GB en

[honest spear]

yea

color vs colour

[wheat condor]

us english has a latin pronunciation, gb english has a french like pronunciation

[honest spear]

yea

any we are getting too much offtopic now

so lets stick to the JS and TS at least

[wheat condor]

like i dont understand why sometimes letters have a sound and sometimes they dont

[distant tulip]

to be fair that is in English too

[wheat condor]

yeah but less frequent

[honest spear]

I am proud Czech guy 🍻

🇨🇿

[lyric kestrel]

Are dynamic imports back? Or are they still gone?

[lyric kestrel]

č

[random flint]

dynamic imports has been back for a while

[wheat condor]

and in italian every letter has its own sound like it has sound rules, even if you dont know the word you can pronunce it correctly.. and for me its harder to read like the E sometimes as an I or an E

[honest spear]

ř better

[lyric kestrel]

Oh nice. I'm glad they are

[honest spear]

there are so back

[wheat condor]

what are they?

[honest spear]

dynamic imports?

[wheat condor]

ye

[honest spear]

const module = await import("index.js");

[lyric kestrel]

Importing anywhere in a file that isn't at the statt

[wheat condor]

like import('')

[random flint]

You can do it without specifying the .js file extension iirc?

[wheat condor]

that's good

[honest spear]

yea, but thats not in ES spcecification

[wheat condor]

so now we can use the function worldLoad to load the pack when the world is loaded

[honest spear]

yea

[random flint]

Nah, I'd await null;

[lyric kestrel]

Lol

[honest spear]

i got a meme for this

another one

[wheat condor]

i used an horrible method to fix that in my database
i just wrapped the constructor of the class in a system.run() 😭 🥀

[remote oyster]

👀

[wheat condor]

2020 Reddit ahh meme

[distant tulip]

you did that?

[honest spear]

only the second one

idk who made that first one on top

[remote oyster]

Bruh haha

[lyric kestrel]

What does await null even do?

[remote oyster]

We are not having this conversation lol.

[lyric kestrel]

Like does it just fire instantly?

[honest spear]

check the second meme

[distant tulip]

i meant did you recommended that

[lyric kestrel]

But we are

[lyric kestrel]

I did

I am still confused 🤣

[wheat condor]

so why is await null not reccomended?

[honest spear]

it defers the execution in bit but always depends how its manage by engine

[lyric kestrel]

Damn

[honest spear]

it has unpredictable behavior based on the version of the engine

[honest spear]

wdym?

but for before events it works pretty well

[random flint]

Bruh I did await system.waitTicks(1) inside a beforeEvents, thinking there would be no tick gap. Thank god they can now accept 0. 🙏🏼

[honest spear]

i actually use it for before events

[honest spear]

yea, i was the guy who invented await null like 1.5 years ago

[wheat condor]

from what i tested i found out that ALSO RunJobs run differently from each device to another

[honest spear]

runJobs are different topic and also managed by engine

ohh

i got notification for preview hotfix

[distant tulip]

huh

[wheat condor]

1.21.90, im still processing what they added in 1.21.70

[random flint]

iirc. Trials chamber stuff?

[wheat condor]

that was in 1.21.0

in 1.20.50 they added the gray biome

[random flint]

Ah, the spooky wooden creature

[wheat condor]

the scp statue like entity

[lyric kestrel]

Huh

[lyric kestrel]

Ye, most likely 1.21.80 stable next week

[wheat condor]

im the only one that has noticed that the cave and cliffs update got nerfed a lot like at the start there were rivers and land was like everywhere at y 100 + and now it looks like it isnt?

[random flint]

Maybe you're getting unlucky with the world seed

[wheat condor]

I want to do something, but idk what..
does someone have something useful to work on?

[acoustic basin]

guys, i'm trying to set a damagingEntity in my applyDamage options, but i can't understand how to do it... can someone please explaine me?

entity.applyDamage(3, { damagingEntity: { } });

[wheat condor]

i think you need to give it an Entity parameter

[acoustic basin]

for test, i've set the entity parameter to attackingEntity (i'm using onHitEntity custom component)

didn't work

[random flint]

send code

[wheat condor]

Found a way to put items inside a shulkerbox

[random flint]

I bet you simply put the itemStack inside a placed down shulkerbox and then use block.getItemStack()

[random flint]

Btw, if you tried Ctrl+Pickblock a filled regular chest, and then throw the chest into- like Lava, it actually drops its item content like a shulkerbox.

[wheat condor]

mh ill keep that in mind

[full idol]

Trying to export JSON through console logs, but there seems to be a logs max length?

[random flint]

Split them into chunks ig?

You can probably shrink it by using "Greedy Voxel Meshing" algorithm. This additionally would allow you to use Dimension.fillBlocks() to fill up blocks faster than individual Dimension.setBlockType()

[full idol]

Using the TXT logs I can get it uncapped, though I do need them to be in raw block by block format to save a painful decompression setup later

[lyric kestrel]

Holy fuck. What are you trying to export 😭

[full idol]

I want to make an overworld map in the nether, 250x250, so I need to scan a 2000x2000 area. I'm saving the height too so I can include it scaled down

[lyric kestrel]

Save them as separate maps in the scripts?

[full idol]

I might have a bad approach to the scan but I think it's cool. Use world ticking entities, with a 6 chunk radius, place them in a grid with 120 blocks between each, then I can just get the block at each point, taking the average of 9 blocks in an 8x8 area

nah the export is working fine now, I just copy from the TXT and it's all there in one big block

[lyric kestrel]

Ah ok

[proven hill]

what data are you displaying lol

there is crazy stuff going on

[full idol]

Does console.log not work for people other than the host?

[lyric kestrel]

Yes

Anyone that has it on

[full idol]

Hmm ok it doesn't show for me

Had to get my friend to send over the logs

[frozen vine]

Can the script check the graphics configuration?

[distant tulip]

player.graphicsMode?

[thorn flicker]

which is in v2 beta

[frozen vine]

so 2.1.0-beta?

[thorn flicker]

its in stable beta, you dont need to be in preview

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.70-stable/classes/Player.html#graphicsmode

[frozen vine]

But do you know if it is stable in the preview or if it remains in beta in version 2.1.0?

[thorn flicker]

just check the site I sent you.

you can see if its in versions or not

https://stirante.com/script/server/

[frozen vine]

[analog salmon]

Hey guys I have no idea about script api but I want my functions only work when a player break event happens, would you guys pls breakthrough this problem and give me the edit 😟

[hexed fox]

How I can to do when player click to villager with tag shop1 it opened form with name "showMainMenu" i don't know because my script for this is don't working right.

[round bone]

PlayerInteractWithEntity event

[prisma shard]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ player, target }) => {
    if (!player instanceof Player) return;
    if (target?.typeId === "minecraft:villager" && player.hasTag("shop1")) {
        showMainMenu()
    }
})```

[round bone]

also send the code if you have some issues with it in the first place

[round bone]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ player, target }) => {
    if (!(player instanceof Player)) return;
    if (target?.typeId === "minecraft:villager" && target.hasTag("shop1")) {
        showMainMenu()
    }
})

[prisma shard]

huh?

what are the difference to mine and you

[round bone]

• player -> target for hasTag method
• additional curly brackets for first if statement

[prisma shard]

ooooooh

i see now, he wanted tag for villager

I didn't notice, I thought player needed to have shop1 tag

[round bone]

at least he got a solution

thank you so much sir

is system.run required now in experimental?

usually i create a scb in global code it should work

always remember that whenever you see this in error :

Always put the code in system.run(() => {})

is there a way to detect if plauer is about to drop a certain item from his inventory and cancel it

[prisma shard]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1259636336990883971

kill the dropped item

then add the item again to the inventory

so it acts like cancelling

[copper egret]

I just found a new way to detect dropped items. However, it's only available in minecraft 1.21.90.20+

it's more reliable and accurate than using entitySpawn, but of course it's not currently available in the release version of minecraft

[wheat condor]

what's that?

thank you brother

any know when is the bug?

Vector isn't a thing on @minecraft/server

[hexed fox]

when?

...?

[hexed fox]

when is the Vector need to be

for the script was working

[hexed fox]

it's a thing on ui?

[unique acorn]

remove Vector

no

[hexed fox]

if I remove Vector, the code is don't working

also

[unique acorn]

create a post and send the whole code there

[remote oyster]

Vector only exists in the server API as an interface. The actual code can be found in here:

https://stirante.com/script/math/2.2.4/index.html

[hexed fox]

I try Vector3 later also

[remote oyster]

You need to import it from @minecraft/math. What you are importing from @minecraft/server is just an interface. An interface defines the structure of an object by specifying the properties and their types. It acts as a contract that classes or objects must follow. To get the actual object itself you need @minecraft/math.

You won't need the interface unless you are writing your code in TS. Possibly using JS Docs as well, but not sure why that may be necessary.

[hexed fox]

import { Vector3 } from "@minecraft/math";

[hexed fox]

js

[remote oyster]

Then you shouldn't be importing the interface. You need the object itself which is in @minecraft/math.

[hexed fox]

what is a version for Vector3 in math

"dependencies": [
{
"module_name": "@minecraft/server",
"version": "2.0.0-beta"
},
{
"module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
"version": "2.0.0-beta"
}
]
}

[remote oyster]

@minecraft/math is not a module. It's merely a dependency. So you have to bundle it with your behavior pack in order to use it.

[hexed fox]

When I need active

[remote oyster]

☝️

[somber cedar]

Bundle the script or use this file

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/meta/cdn-links.html

[hexed fox]

how

[somber cedar]

check the link

[prisma shard]

"@minecraft/math" is not a module (visual1mpact said) You gotta download the dumped JS file

@minecraft/math is not a module. It's merely a dependency. So you have to bundle it with your behavior pack in order to use it.

import { Vector3Builder } from "./minecraft-math.js";

Then you shouldn't be importing the interface. You need the object itself which is the Vector3Builder in @minecraft/math.

can you guys help me ?

[wheat condor]

propertyRegistry isnt a thing, you might be using a wrong version of script api or that property just doesnt exist

[hoary matrix]

how to know to the good version

im using 1.18.0

[wheat condor]

i think its only in beta versions

[valid ice]

You don't need to register properties any more; you can just straight use them

[prisma shard]

yep

world.setDynamicProperty(`id`, value)

[honest spear]

since when its like 2 years now?

damn

i remember the truggle with dynamic properties back then

[valid ice]

haha yeah

[honest spear]

it was easier to use scoreboards

[valid ice]

Was interesting

[honest spear]

scoreboards DBs were fun

[valid ice]

indeed

[random flint]

I've searched, even under the rock... I guess setting a block permutation without causing block updates around it is currently impossible.

And, no, Dimension.setBlockPermutation still causes block updates. The reason why a wither/golems doesn't spawn, is because they only detect player placement and dispensers...

[valid ice]

You’re updating the block

There’s gonna be block updates

[random flint]

I need that Java's strict block placement option 🙏🏼😭

Even loading a structure has janky block update correction.

[fallow minnow]

are you able to have image links with server-net on action forms?

like

form.button("text", http.get("https://www.youtube.com/imagetest.png"))```

[random flint]

I think they need to have it downloaded on their RP since its an iconPath, not image png

[grim raft]

is there anyway to detect running?

[distant tulip]

movement component

[grim raft]

detecting with getComponent the movement value?

[random flint]

Entity.isSprinting

[grim raft]

HUH THIS EXISTS

I've been searching in docs for ages 😭

[distant tulip]

i always forget that exist

[random flint]

Movement input is still good tho

[grim raft]

doesnt detect sprint

[grim raft]

does it work midair too?

pretty stupid question ik

[random flint]

Probably. Not sure if you were swiming, crawling, sneaking, or gliding (elytra) tho

[grim raft]

k gonna test it out myself ty

[thorn flicker]

it does

[grim raft]

yea just tried it

entity.applyKnockback(viewDirection.x, viewDirection.z, 3, viewDirection.y / 2);```
want to make this only does knockback in the x and z axis

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    const id = event.id;
    const entity = event.sourceEntity;
    const viewDirection = entity.getViewDirection();

    switch (id) {
        case 'sp:dash':
            entity.applyKnockback(viewDirection.x, viewDirection.z, 3, viewDirection.y / 2);
            break;```
full code

[thorn flicker]

make vertical 0

[grim raft]

ty

also

is there a way to detect when sneaking it runs a code 1 time only until you unsneak and resneak

basically this but it runs 1 time until you resneak

if (player.isSneaking && (normalizedX === 1, -1 || normalizedY === 1, -1)) {
            player.runCommand('scriptevent sp:dash')
        }```

[thorn flicker]

you can use playerButtonInput afterEvent

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

[grim raft]

ym this?
inputs.getButtonState(InputButton.Sneak)

oh nvm

[thorn flicker]

use the afterEvent.

[grim raft]

k

[thorn flicker]

but if you must use it system.runInterval for some reason, you can do that too.

[grim raft]

is there another way to always detect movement without runinterval?

wait nvm u just told me lol

[thorn flicker]

well, only for sneaking and jumping

[grim raft]

oh so no sprinting

well I just need it for sneaking actually

[thorn flicker]

they could add it later

[grim raft]

sprinting I need it to be constant so I was gonna use runInterval anyway

[grim raft]

also can you provide an exemple of using this if you have

[thorn flicker]

ive posted an example in the preview post

let me link it

[grim raft]

I still cant do code from scratch just modify it

[thorn flicker]

when did you start scripting

[grim raft]

like 2 month ago but last month I had a big break of it cuz of exams

so just 1 month actually

[thorn flicker]

I lied

its for something else

[grim raft]

well I wasnt really trying to learn

[thorn flicker]

when I started I was the same for a short period of time

then I finally said to myself "I cant copy and paste forever"

[grim raft]

well I will do that when summer vac starts

[grim raft]

so eh, can you make a quick exemple or just how to use it

[thorn flicker]

instead of making it for you

look at other code, and use that logic to create this

[grim raft]

I searched for ages on this server in the search feature in dc

suprisingly nobody ever did that lol

[thorn flicker]

you dont have any code that includes an event listener

[grim raft]

just this guy

and I still dont know how to use classes

[thorn flicker]

my food is getting cold

[thorn flicker]

np lol

[alpine wigeon]

in my script i need the block running it to access the adjacent block in a specific direction

how do i do that

@unique acorn can you help maybe?

[unique acorn]

block.above();
block.below();
block.north();
block.east();
block.west();
block.south();

use whichever one you want!

[alpine wigeon]

wow

it's that simple

[unique acorn]

also you can put number inside parentheses to tell it how many blocks to go to

[alpine wigeon]

oh

thx for helping meee

Is there no way to check if something is a typeof Array?

I am unsure if I should use string or not

ah wait, I can just do Array.isArray()

Also, what is the Enum to get the switch of panels a person is hovering over?

[native patio]

How to make it that a player can’t hit another player in the radius of 10 from an entity ( v:spawn )

[unique acorn]

give em weakness 255

[grim raft]

ty

[native patio]

With neth sword sharpness 5 you can still hit and you can still mace

[unique acorn]

give other player instant health 255 for an infinite duration!

[native patio]

I give resistance but I want no knockback, no hitting ( hitting = the players getting red ( I think ) for a second and shaking ))))

[unique acorn]

instant health does that

it removes knockbac and getting red

idk about sharpness 5 netherite sword or mace tho

[native patio]

Without sword aswell

[unique acorn]

"infinite duration"

[native patio]

Oh

That kinda works

[unique acorn]

you can edit the player.json which indeed disables all damage

but if you're making a public addon, I don't suggest it as it can break compatibility with other addons

[native patio]

AH. I’m using other Addons on my realm

[lyric kestrel]

If none of them change player.json also, then you should be fine

[safe stream]

Is it not possible to edit dialogue's content (text) via scripts?

[chrome gyro]

How do you remove a certain amount of letters from a name tag?

        const lengthoname = (`${entitys.nameTag}`.length - 10)
        const codedintstack = `${entitys.nameTag}`.replace(lengthoname.length, "")

Here's one of the 20 things I've tried... any ideas?

[remote oyster]

In what order or way are you trying to remove these characters. That is an important question to determine what logic is best suited.

[chrome gyro]

Using a length of text number then removing that much from the beginning of the entities name.

[chrome gyro]

If there's a '.remove' or '.delete' that's what I'm looking for, but using an integer to remove letters. Similar to how '.repeat' works.

[remote oyster]

You are wanting to remove § as well?

[chrome gyro]

That comes after, but basically right now I'm just trying to get the beginning part to be removed so I can get to the number at the end that's hidden with §.

[remote oyster]

const lengthofname = 10; // number of characters to remove from the start
const nameTag = `${entitys.nameTag}`;
const trimmedName = nameTag.slice(lengthofname); // removes the first 'lengthofname' characters
const cleanName = trimmedName.replace(/§/g, ""); // removes all § symbols if needed

[chrome gyro]

Oh! Slice, excellent, thank you so much for your help and time!

I forgot about the / and g for the § too, thanks!

[remote oyster]

No problem

[mighty igloo]

so i have an issue with typescript

when detecting a gamemode. typescript uses Creative with a capital C, but js uses creative with a lower case c

and when i try to put creative with lowercase c in the typescript file, it errors./

is there anyway to make exceptions for errors

[remote oyster]

Please share an example of your code to demonstrate what you are experiencing. Preferably in Typescript.

@mighty igloo, are you referring to the GameMode enum?

[random flint]

Because in the preview they use capital letters. JS simply can just get away from by doing this, but idk about TypeScript 🙏🏼
GameMode.Creative ?? GameMode.creative

[cunning canyon]

Why am I getting equippable as undefined?

[random flint]

Most mobs (like 90% of the game iirc) can't use equippable component

Player can always use it

[warped blaze]

also he's logging the object directly

you have to use JSON.stringify()

[cunning canyon]

I assumed sourceEntity was the player instead of the actual entity lol

my bad, thanks for the help

is there a way of getting the player entity using 'event: ScriptEventCommandMessageAfterEvent'?

[random flint]

sourceEntity means the entity running the scriptEvent.

It could be a player, npc, command block minecart... or any execute as @e[...] run scriptevent ...

[cunning canyon]

ooooh, I didn't know the 'execute as' tech, tyvm!!

[warped blaze]

do you think it is a good idea to protect a spawn by storing the position of its blocks in an array in a dymamic property and canceling the event in case its coordinate is in the array?

[valid ice]

If you can define min & max coordinates for each (e.g. a cubical zone) it would be easier to handle overall

[winter plaza]

export function estrutura(block) {
  const blocoPos = block.location;
  const radius = 30;

  const dimension = block.dimension;
  const playersNearby = dimension.getEntities({ location: blocoPos, type: "minecraft:player", maxDistance: radius });
  if (playersNearby.length === 0) return;
  const jinwooNearby = dimension.getEntities({ type: "wesl3y:mob.jinwoo", location: blocoPos, maxDistance: radius });
  if (jinwooNearby.length === 0) {
    playersNearby.runCommandAsync(`tag @s add unlock.jinwoo`);
    playersNearby.runCommandAsync(`tellraw @s{"rawtext":[{"selector":"@s"},{"text":" has made the advancement §a[Jinwoo]§r"}]}`);
  }
}

[winter plaza]

There is no error in the code, but it says that this function does not exist

[mighty igloo]

No, typescript cant, but there are workarounds. Like (GameMode as any).creative something like that

I just found that recently

When it compiles it shows as GameMode.creative in js

[warped blaze]

you mean cancel the event in case the position is X distance from the center?

[mighty igloo]

So it works

[warped blaze]

if you're using beta, runCommandAsync got deprecated

[valid ice]

I mean cancel event if position is between min & max for each coordinate

if above min and below max

[winter plaza]

beta no.

[warped blaze]

send the error log here

[winter plaza]

ok

[warped blaze]

good idea, thx

[warped blaze]

what's on line 16

[warped blaze]

uhm, idk wtf is happening there

[valid ice]

@past coyote your logic looked sound, as far as I could see.. z

[warped blaze]

oh i see

[valid ice]

Console warns to see data throughout the code would help you see where stuff is going wrong, if you aren’t already doing so

[warped blaze]

you're using runCommandAsync on the array

you must do a .forEach() loop

[winter plaza]

Can you show me where I should put it?

[valid ice]

Also runCommandAsync doesn’t exist any more

So there’s that

[warped blaze]

instead of

playersNearby.rumCommandAsync("blah");

do

playerNearby.forEach(player => {
  player.runCommandAsync();
  player.runCommandAsync();
});```

[warped blaze]

he said he's using stable

[valid ice]

Ah ok gotcha

[winter plaza]

Oh ok ok

[valid ice]

Nvm then

[past coyote]

it was isValid() :(

[valid ice]

[past coyote]

im working on a minecraft beta 1.7.3 server

and I wanted to make scripts that feel non-invasive, especially for something like block/land protectionm

[warped blaze]

@winter plaza also next time send the code directly, not a screenshot

[past coyote]

Ive noticed when doing things with blocks that are bigger than 1x1 (door, or double chest) that things can sometimes fail.

Is there a method or reliable way for handing double chests or doors with a script?

(ie I have a sign that players can place on a door or chest to lock it, however when doing the checks to see where the sign is, or what block its attached to it only sees the single chest block or the door block)

[past coyote]

Can I check which way a chest is facing???

does anyone know how to make custom commands on version 1.21.51, I tried to use the code from bedrock wiki, but it doesn't work for this version?

[warped blaze]

that's the way you're supposed to do it

idk what could be wrong with the wiki example

it still works as far as i know

maybe your code is wrong

[leaden bear]

Here's my code, I don't think it has any errors

is playerplaceblock before event functioning properly? im trying to log permutationToPlace.type.id type is undefined

[untold garnet]

can script set a block where chunk is not loaded?

i remember the OG gametest can do that

[remote oyster]

No.

[untold garnet]

what can be a good work around?

can we run a temp ticking area and then setblock?

[remote oyster]

Sure

Probably your only option.

[remote oyster]

Show your code. Or an example.

[leaden elbow]

its just

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((data) => {
console.warn(data.permutationToPlace.type.id)
})

when i place blocks it logs but logging returns undefined

[remote oyster]

Hmm. I'm unsure.

I wonder if it's a bug with the API.

[remote oyster]

For sake of testing try data.block.permutation.type.id.

[leaden elbow]

okay thanks

[leaden elbow]

now it returns id of undefined

[remote oyster]

No worries. I just wanted to see. The original method you used returned undefined for any block or were you placing a custom block of some kind?

[leaden elbow]

oak planks to be specific

[remote oyster]

Oh, well then that would be odd. I would need to get on my PC to investigate the situation but at face value this sounds like a bug with the API.

[leaden elbow]

okok

so the property in docs is for latest preview?

the property have different naming between custom components and events, so maybe they fixed that in the latest preview

[remote oyster]

Oof, I just realized I was looking at the preview docs when talking to that person lol. That's why I couldn't give a proper answer. 😁

No, I was looking at the correct one. For 2.0.0-Beta.

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.70-stable/classes/PlayerPlaceBlockBeforeEvent.html#permutationbeingplaced

[distant tulip]

the docs are outdated?
this is what i used

[wheat condor]

that's not event relased

[granite cape]

where can i get documentation for module v3.0.0-alpha?

[wheat condor]

my preview minecraft is at 1.21.80

[remote oyster]

@leaden elbow it would be permutationBeingPlaced. I'm just now realizing you had a typo in your example that used permutationToPlace.

[wheat condor]

most obvious rage bait

[distant tulip]

he seem to be doing the same thing over #1367797461795602432

[leaden elbow]

yeah thanks i js got it on docs thats why lol

[wheat condor]

yeah i found out

[remote oyster]

No, but your example above called the wrong one in Beta-stable.

A simple overlook.

Oh wait. I'm an idiot.

You gave two examples showing the change.

I'm gonna go drink some coffee.

[wheat condor]

that's impossible to get an accurate result without using a lot of resources,
but you can check like every 5 seconds the location of player an use the pythagorean theorem to approximate the distance and sum it to the total distance

[distant tulip]

make sure to look into all the edge cases
nether travel, teleport, and so on

[remote oyster]

Those edge cases is what will make that a challenge lol.

[distant tulip]

yeah, jayly had a statistic addon, maybe look into that

[fast lark]

Too much work for a single quest..

[wheat condor]

like

const previousLocation = new Map()
system.runInterval(()=>{

        const loc = player.location
        const befLoc = previousLocation.get(player)
        const distance = Math.cbrt((befLoc.x- loc.z)^2 + (befLoc.y - loc.z)^2 + (befLoc.z - loc.z)^2)

Yep

To use the latest version you need to have latest minecraft

Wdym any functions?? The documentation does have all functions documented

This also does not work, I tried both stable version (1.11.0) and 2.0.0.0-beta, I also remind you that I have a version of Minecraft 1.21.51.

[round bone]

[wary mango]

Also, im trying to make a item when consumed, removes all effects (just like a milk bucket), problem is:

[round bone]

2.0.0-beta or 2.1.0-beta for preview

[shy leaf]

why do you have old version

just curious

[round bone]

use ItemCompleteUseAfterEffect

[round bone]

you have to get all effects and loop through them and remove each one

for (const effect of entity.getEffects())
    entity.removeEffect(effect.typeId)

[wary mango]

what if there's no effects

[round bone]

entity.getEffects() will be an empty array

[wary mango]

the actual minecraft command register is looking very exciting, any speculation on when will it make it to regular released version?

looks correct

should work tbh

Apparently so, I thought it would adjust to the version I specify in the project.

1.21.80 will be releasing slash commands probably

this wednesday if I'm correct

[leaden bear]

I've been doing this - it doesn't work.

[untold garnet]

how hard do you think it will be converting the existing chat command to actual commands?

[leaden bear]

lastest stable isn't that 1.11.0?

[round bone]

depends on your codebase

[untold garnet]

just a chat command with 1 optional argument

shouldnt be too hard i guess

very looking forward for future releases

it should.

...right, and do you have content logs on?

it would've told you something was up with runCommandAsync

does runCommandAsync even work in read only mode?

[wary edge]

Beta APIs.

[cinder igloo]

so… is that a yes or a no

because it doesn’t look like I can use them with the beta api on 1.21.70

[cinder shadow]

What version of scripting are you on?

If custom commands existed in the .80 preview cycle, they will be available in the .80 stable version via beta APIs

[cinder igloo]

Thanks, that was my question

[fast lark]

what code?

[grim raft]

@fast lark

[cinder igloo]

anyone know if there are plans in the future to update the packet stuff in server-net?

atm you can just acknowledge and cancel packets, can’t read them

[wanton cedar]

Does anyone know, in general, how to use scripting to give a specific entity an item and make them hold it in their right hand, so that it actually displays as held?

For example, zombies are capable of picking up and holding swords. Is there a way to make a mob like that where it can hold any item, and then I can give it an item for it to hold?

[valid ice]

You have to use runCommand and the replaceitem command, as scripts can’t access non-player entity equipment

[wanton cedar]

That sounds workable. Do you know what specific components I need on my custom entity in order to make that possible?

[valid ice]

Only thing you need, afaik, is a point named “rightItem” in the entity model and "enable_attachables": true in the client entity

[wanton cedar]

Where specifically do you mean to put "enable_attachables"?

[valid ice]

RP/entity/your_file.json

[wanton cedar]

Oh snap, that worked already (mostly). Just one problem. How do I specify a specific entity? I just ran it with @e and it worked just like I expected it to, but now EVERYONE has the item.

I summoned the entity in scripting. How do I target it now?

[valid ice]

The spawnEntity function does return an Entity class, which you can use to run a command off of

const spawnedEntity = dimension.spawnEntity(…)
spawnedEntity.runCommand('replaceitem @s …')

[wanton cedar]

Perfect. You're my hero.

Also to clarify that I have Minecraft version 1.21.51.1, and I say right away that I used the version of Scripting api and 2.0.0-beta and 1.17.0-beta, still does not work, which is quite strange. Thank you in advance for your help

[valid ice]

Do you know what part of it doesn’t work? Because if you’re on 1.17.0-beta it looks fine..

Any console errors

[leaden bear]

only it, Also, that my addon is exactly what's running.

[distant tulip]

Do you have the tag

[leaden bear]

Sorry to bother you because of my stupidity, it's just that I was issuing the admin tag, not Admin.

[distant tulip]

Yeah, the hasTag is case sensitive

[leaden bear]

Yeah, just didn't notice

[native patio]

RunCommandAsync is removed in Minecraft/server 2.0.0-beta

[thorn flicker]

hes not using current minecraft version.

[leaden bear]

I solved this problem already, it's just that I was issuing the admin tag instead of Admin.

Can anyone tell me how to make a scriptevent? I tried to ask chatgpt(I know bad idea, but still), but he gives out code that doesn't work.

[woven loom]

Whats troubling you

[leaden bear]

well, like creating a script event that can be called via /scriptevent

[round bone]

why there is no PATCHfield for HttpRequestMethod enum

😭

[woven loom]

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


system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(e => {
    const { id, message, sourceType, initiator, sourceBlock, sourceEntity } = e


if (sourceEntity instanceof Player) {
    /**
     * @type {Player
     */
    let player = sourceEntity


    player.sendMessage("id: " + id + " message: " + message)
}

})```

[warm mason]

Does anyone know if I put a Player as a key in a WeakMap and then he re-enters the world, will it be a new Player or will the old one just become valid again?

[hoary matrix]

guys why MinecraftBlockTypes does not work ?

[leaden bear]

thanks for the help, it worked!

[round bone]

My ESLint is punching you using:

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

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(({ id, message, sourceType: player, initiator, sourceBlock, sourceEntity }) => {
    if (player instanceof Player) {
        player.sendMessage(`id: ${id} message: ${message}`);
    }
})

[round bone]

you must import it directly to your scripts or src directory

@minecraft/vanilla-data is not supported navitely by engine

hi

[shut vessel]

Did you know how I can make a knockback edit menu?

[prisma shard]

no i didn't know

show me how you can

-# jk

[round bone]

use a ModalFormData class

[shut vessel]

okay

[untold garnet]

is it possible to detect what player is holding?

nvm found it

[lyric kestrel]

Is there a way to check if the player has just interacted with a specific inventory slot?

Like taken an item from the slot

[round bone]

check for selectedSlotIndex value

[lyric kestrel]

Thank you

[round bone]

Player.prototype.selectedSlotIndex of course

[lyric kestrel]

Ah, thank you

I was about to ask xD

[round bone]

no problem

[sharp elbow]

Isn't that only which hotbar slot they have selected? Would that not necessarily correlate with a given slot the player interacted with?

[sharp elbow]

Any slot in a given container?

[round bone]

it's correct I thnk

if he's detecting interaction via PlayerInteractWithEntity or PlayerInteractWithBlock event, it's a good way

[lyric kestrel]

Yes. I'm trying to make a custom crafter recipe function for more than 3x3 recipes

[round bone]

ohh, container interaction?

[lyric kestrel]

So I need to check when the person takes the item, then the recipe slots are emptied stack

[lyric kestrel]

Ye

[round bone]

ohh

[lyric kestrel]

I'm running it through system.runinterval, no afterEvent or beforeEvent

[round bone]

are you using stable or beta API?

[lyric kestrel]

stable

I don't mind using either

Nothing in the function is beta, yet

If it's not possible for stable, I can use Beta

[round bone]

if PlayerInventoryItemChangeAfterEvent is not in stable Minecraft, then you probably are forced to wait for 3 days (to 1.21.80)

[lyric kestrel]

Ah, that's only for the player inventory

And it's preview 2.1.0-beta

[round bone]

ahh, sorry, but you're forced to use intervals and check both (block's and player's) containers every tick

[lyric kestrel]

hmm, I could use PlayerCursorInventoryComponent

It seems right for what I want to do

[round bone]

check every tick if it changed

[lyric kestrel]

ye

Thank you btw

[round bone]

no problem

atleast I tried

[lyric kestrel]

You helped, not just tried

I was able to find PlayerCursorInventoryComponent which is exactly what I need

I think

xD

check if server-net is allowed by going to files then config/default/permissions.json

and server net is only usable in bds

[narrow patio]

are you able to change a cmd inside a cmd block using a script

[unique acorn]

nope

[agile flicker]

What is bds?

[unique acorn]

bedrock server

[round bone]

1. only for BDS
2. enable it in server permissiojs
3. add dependency in a manifest

if you would like to test it, you can use my API for Discord webhooks just to check if it works

[chrome gyro]

Hmmm anyone know how we go about giving an item that has a specific dye already? Been trying solutions related to:

    const texture = new item.getComponent("minecraft:dyeable");
    item.set(texture, 4)

This is inside a basic giveItem function

[fast lark]

I cant get it to work

For some reason

[round bone]

/server-net in general?

[fast lark]

Yh

[round bone]

are you using BDS?

[fast lark]

I tried to use ur api some time ago, and i ended up doing a normal message and not a beautiful embed

[fast lark]

Yh

[round bone]

did you use an EmbedUtility class?

[round bone]

check config/default/permissions.json

you can send me it

[fast lark]

I used the basic message u made

[fast lark]

Im not on pc rn

[round bone]

ohh nice

you can leave a star or smth if you like it xD

I would like to push it to 16 stars just for achievement xD

[fast lark]

I cant

I dont have a github account

if you're a programmer I would recommend to create an account

GitHub is pretty important

guys i have a little problem tho, I need to check if entity has a specified effect. How do i do it?

[thorn flicker]

entity.getEffect('swiftness')

[wary mango]

thanks

[wary mango]

so basically this:

[thorn flicker]

no

just do if (getEffect())

it'll return true because the effect is on the player and valid.

[wary mango]

its part of a component

[thorn flicker]

okay

[chrome gyro]

Anyone? 😦

[prisma shard]

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

it has the color property.

maybe you use it

And set the color using RGB interface

[prisma shard]

interface RGB {
blue: number;
green: number;
red: number;
}
so it's like:

    const texture = new item.getComponent("minecraft:dyeable");

texture.color = {
    blue: 0;
    green: 1; ///example
    red: 0;
}

    item.set(texture, 4)

i don't think i am right....

Someone correct me

[chrome gyro]

Hmm I made something similar, it's saying it's not a constructor... what exactly.. Idk XD

    const texture = new item.getComponent("minecraft:dyeable");
    const redscore = 0
    const greenscore = 1
    const bluescore = 0
    texture.color = ({ red: redscore, green: greenscore, blue: bluescore })
    item.set(texture)

[prisma shard]

idk too then lol

bruh moment

[mighty igloo]

Is dynamic properties commonly used? Does it cause lag if you have to many? Does it use up a lot of storage? Is it efficient?

Can someone answer these questions?

[distant tulip]

yes
no, they are in storage and they only cause lag if you tried to get them by a large amount in the same time
it uses as many storage as you set with it
yes

[onyx lantern]

anyone knows why I cant use script api 1.18.0-beta? it says the only beta version I can use is 2.0.0-beta

on 1.21.70-73, 1.18.0-beta isn't a thing, for beta you're forced to use 2.0.0-beta

            if(face != Direction.Down) { cancel = true }
        }
    })

why the onStepOn & onStepOff event not working

[remote oyster]

Dynamic properties are commonly used by developers to store custom data such as player stats, quest progress, and custom flags. By default, they don’t cause lag, but there are important caveats that determine when this holds true. Small to moderate use (a few dozen properties per entity or player) is usually fine. However, using hundreds or thousands, especially if they are frequently read or written to within a tick loop, can lead to lag due to memory and CPU strain. Performance also depends on how often the properties are updated; frequent changes every tick are more demanding than static or infrequently modified data. Additionally, how you read and write the data can impact performance if not handled efficiently.

Dynamic properties are much more efficient and scalable than workarounds like storing data in scoreboards or entities with custom tags. Storage requirements will vary depending on how much data you store, it could range from just a few bytes to several gigabytes, depending on your design, structure, and the relevance of the stored data.

At the end of the day, dynamic properties are highly recommended. However, how effectively you implement them will depend on your understanding and experience, which will ultimately shape your experience using them.

[wheat condor]

Basically they re the most used to store data in a way that can't be accesed with commands. they re very versatile you can set a property to particular entities or itemstacks but you can also use them generally by saving them in world.

In dynamic properties you can save strings numbers booleans and vector3s, but you can also save objects by stringifing the data.

They re the current fastest method to save data like strings numbers booleans and locations, and its the most efficient rn

[distant tulip]

there is a minimal height the collision box need to be

can't remember it

[warped blaze]

is there a way to mess with recipe unlocking using scripts?

like force the unlocking after some event or smt

[wheat condor]

/recipe command

[worn palm]

ahh that's why!

[untold garnet]

is there a way to cancel mob damage in script?

like player hitting mobs

[fast lark]

U could add back the health

But idk

[untold garnet]

thats so.....

ehh

[wheat condor]

What is the correct syntax for BlockVolumeBase

bridge doesnt have type for that

[distant tulip]

BlockVlome?

[wheat condor]

i just solved

[distant tulip]

new BlockVolume(from, to) iirc

[wheat condor]

i used a for x y z

[distant tulip]

huh

[wheat condor]

no it was BlockVolumeBase

for (let x = ....)
    for (let y  ...)
        for (let z = ...)

i just needed to get all blocks

[distant tulip]

Use getBlocks...

[wheat condor]

im doing a block database but i feel that: getting the blocks, using that with the function, placing the blocks at a far away area and saving them its actually pretty inefficient

[distant tulip]

Yeah, that uses what i sent

[wheat condor]

VolumeBASE]

[remote oyster]

Something like this example:

import { ListBlockVolume, world } from "@minecraft/server";
import { Vector3Builder } from "@minecraft/minecraft-math";

const min = new Vector3Builder(0, 0, 0);
const max = new Vector3Builder(10, 10, 10);

const volume = new ListBlockVolume([min, max]);

world.getDimension("overworld").getBlocks(volume, {}, true);

Actually, that would be pointless.

[distant tulip]

ListBlockVolume?
never seen that

i am pretty sure i used BlockVolume alone before

[remote oyster]

getBlocks returns ListBlockVolume lol.

[thorn flicker]

why vector3builder if you can just an object

[distant tulip]

world.getDimension("overworld").getBlocks(new BlockVolume({x,y,z}, {x,y,z}), {}, true);

[remote oyster]

I just did it for the example. Haven't touched on the blocks stuff much and when I saw the question above I decided to look at the Types on VSC. The docs on it is pretty ugly and not well organized. A bit scattered lol.

[remote oyster]

That, or just use ListBlockVolume. Both should be fine. Not sure which is more efficient.

[wheat condor]

like why cant they just do
{from:{x,y,z},to:{x,y,z}}

[mighty igloo]

Does anyone know how to give the player a potion with a certain level or length? Alsk how do I read a potions length and level.

[thorn flicker]

because

[mighty igloo]

And for containers. How can I save the contents json string data to a dynamic property value?

[distant tulip]

potion item or effect

[mighty igloo]

Item

[thorn flicker]

you cant

[mighty igloo]

Not yet?

You can stringify some items.

[wheat condor]

const time = 20 // 20 ticks
const amplifier = 2 // lvl 3
player.addEffect('effectId',time, {amplifier:amplifier})

[thorn flicker]

?
