[warm mason]

?

[dusty temple]

Nevermind it does, I just realized it has to be set in place, can't add it dynamically

[nova flame]

This is why ur bad at json ui

[fallow minnow]

I’m amazing at it

U barely know JavaScript so

[warm mason]

🍿

[nova flame]

Im javascript king

You "rose" quickly, don't you think? #1067535608660107284 message

[warm mason]

Minato just forgot that ItemTypes.getAll() returns ItemType[] and not String[]

[distant tulip]

joined a voice with the guy and corrected it there

[halcyon phoenix]

is it possible to do ui with just script and no json ui?

[sly valve]

Yes, with the UI server module

[halcyon phoenix]

im making a mana bar of some sort is that possible purely with just scripts?

[sly valve]

Im not well known in this topic.
But for that you'd probably need Resource package related stuff

[halcyon phoenix]

awright thanks for the help neko

[halcyon phoenix]

do you know any resources that I can start learning with?

[sly valve]

Not really, maybe try reading the docs

[thorn flicker]

yes.

you can use titles to display mana, and use dynamics properties for the mana values.

if you want to make the titles look a different way, you will need learn a little bit of #1067869374410657962

[thorn flicker]

server-ui is for forms, you will not be able to create bar with what N3K0 is talking about.

[gilded shadow]

does Player.id changes when the playereave and rejoins the game?

I'm currently using it to store data about the player on world dynamic properties.

so i wanna be sure if its safe

[distant tulip]

it is server side only, so yeah it is save

[halcyon phoenix]

I was thinking of making different states/png of a mana bar and then manipulating it through script

[thorn flicker]

should use glyphs

[worldly heath]

are u doing it on the action bar or as part of the ui

[gilded shadow]

also is there a way to check dynamic properties saved in a world outside of minecraft?

[halcyon phoenix]

im making a new ui if possible

I dont it once but it's a hell of a hole

I didn't udnerstand a single part

[worldly heath]

i had similar issue , someone helped me here

[halcyon phoenix]

made a custom cooldown bar

[halcyon phoenix]

glyphs? can you enlightem me more about it?

[thorn flicker]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/concepts/emojis

custom emojis you can create and use in a title

[sly valve]

I thought at this point, he meant forms

[thorn flicker]

I was just letting him know

[sly valve]

Oh alright

[dusky flicker]

you can hash data

im used to write with neovim, cant use vscode anymore

i simply think coding with it is too slow

maybe if you parse the function

but you would need to parse a lot of things

and then based on the ast rewrite the function

ast is just a recursive tree, so as long as it's defined using objects, you can use JSON with them

[sterile epoch]

I've heard vim is shit

[dusky flicker]

its cuz the one couldnt get used to the keybinds

how do this suck bro? im running neovim in terminal and i've got a terminal inside it

i dont even need to use the mouse

but yeah its confused as hell on the first time

i remember when i was switching from vscode, i got confused to exit it

[halcyon phoenix]

if you love keybinds use vim it's a lot useful

and once you get used to it you don't even have to move your hands away from the keyboard

[halcyon phoenix]

can you lead me to the docs for forms?

[sly valve]

Sure

[dusky flicker]

by the way, thanks, its working

i thought i'd have troubles to debug within linux and running with an unnoficial launcher

[halcyon phoenix]

loading content from url...

is this normal?

dang this looks cool

[short iron]

I think I've asked this a few days ago but got busy with rl family. My question is does anyone know how to detect when a player gets the "unlock" for recipes. Like when you mine a diamond for the first time it shows you what you can craft now? I'm looking at running some events on it if possible.

[halcyon phoenix]

DUDE WHY WAS NO ONE SUGGESTING ME MCTOOLS BEFORE

Dang all my past problems could have been solved by this

it has a builtin VSCode editor

anybody know what's wrong here? modules version error?

[sterile epoch]

but why tho

why would anyone care abt not having to use a mouse

just seems extra for no reason

[dusky flicker]

its simply faster

and more customizable

and uses less ram

[remote oyster]

It's a powerful tool, that only a few master.

The ones that talk bad about it are the majority who couldn't master it lol.

Which is why other alternatives exist, such as Nano, to name one.

[halcyon phoenix]

some stuff like this can't be answered by questions, you gotta feel it

[sterile epoch]

master what it's an ide why would you need to master it ☠️

you legit js write code

and save it, and boom you're done

[dusky flicker]

poor guy, so innocent

[sterile epoch]

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah he needs some hands-on field exp

[uncut lynx]

Yo guys i might have just cooked

so i used firstly claude ai to clean up that shi and use graph system

and after that i implemented a lot of stuff

bruh

[warm mason]

BRUH

[dusky flicker]

😢

[prisma shard]

a function for generating sphere with blocks would be block-utils? dimension-utils? math-utils?

pls someone help me categorize

[warm mason]

math

[prisma shard]

thank u ig

[thorn flicker]

you've made this already in the past

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1370337425339187291

[prisma shard]

No

Thats different qeustion

i said how can i create the function itself in the post

i am just asking for a idea where would i put it

[thorn flicker]

ohh

[dusky flicker]

i think structure utils

[prisma shard]

mmmmm

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[dusky flicker]

i dont know why it would be dimension, block or math(please just dont put it here)

[sly valve]

I would do it like that.
The spheric calculator: bodies/spheric.js

[prisma shard]

another question

[sly valve]

Go ahead

[prisma shard]

dimension.runCommand(`setblock ${location.x} ${location.y} ${location.z} air destroy`);```
this drops the loot of the block too. How can i make it not drop the loot of the block?

[thorn flicker]

dont use destroy

[sly valve]

Dont use destroy

Dont even use runCommand

[thorn flicker]

soda

[sly valve]

yoda

[prisma shard]

and The reason i am using commands is you can't make it show destroy particles of the block, if using setType("air")

[thorn flicker]

welp

you cant do that

[prisma shard]

that would'nt make it show destroy particles

[thorn flicker]

im aware.

you have no other option then.

[prisma shard]

aw

[sly valve]

Well

You can

[prisma shard]

well

[sly valve]

Somehow

[prisma shard]

kill those items right

[thorn flicker]

let me guess, remove the item

[prisma shard]

lmao

wait

[thorn flicker]

that could go wrong

[distant tulip]

preview

[prisma shard]

how about that

does it exist

[thorn flicker]

wait

is there a method to play the particle

[prisma shard]

same question

[warm mason]

Probably not((

[thorn flicker]

so why did you suggest it

if you didnt know

bruh

[warm mason]

The result is a useless component.

[prisma shard]

yeah same question

[thorn flicker]

yeah theres no method

[warm mason]

I just remembered

[prisma shard]

bruh

[thorn flicker]

its fine

lol

[sly valve]

There always is one

[prisma shard]

so does the downvote mean that thing does't even exist?

[distant tulip]

make your own particle

[sly valve]

No, it means its a bad idea

[thorn flicker]

no, it means it's not recommended

[warm mason]

There will be too much to do.

[thorn flicker]

almost another soda

[prisma shard]

ye

[distant tulip]

not really, i done it before

[thorn flicker]

hm

[warm mason]

Particle for each block, are you sure it's not much?

[distant tulip]

one particle

[thorn flicker]

is it worth it

[warm mason]

And how are you going to change the texture?

[prisma shard]

I am just gonna use gameule 👎 👎 👎 👎 bye

xd

[distant tulip]

there is a query for the texture corrds

[thorn flicker]

yeah and cause a bunch of issues

good luck

[prisma shard]

tell me those issues??

[thorn flicker]

think

[prisma shard]

i'd just set it to true again after breaking

[warm mason]

You can't pass texture to particle

[distant tulip]

use atlas and change the uv

[warm mason]

How do you know the UV coordinates?

[prisma shard]

i canot

[thorn flicker]

if molangvariablemap had a string variable option, and we could use molang for the texture in the particle...

wouldnt that be awesome?

[distant tulip]

a query

[prisma shard]

ok guys thank you for the help i am just gonna kill those items

[thorn flicker]

that has issues aswell

[warm mason]

And how will it know what texture to look for?

[prisma shard]

uh doesnt the items drop in a x-0.5 y-0.5 z-0.5 from the block

[thorn flicker]

hold on

you might be onto something

[distant tulip]

it take the block it is on top of
delay the breaking and spawn the particle

[thorn flicker]

you might kill items you dont want to kill.

what if you drop your diamonds on accident

[warm mason]

+500% slowdown

[thorn flicker]

well then again you'll check for the item type

[distant tulip]

this uses it
https://youtu.be/F2T98e4tFHA

[prisma shard]

men i am stuck

oki i made my decision just to not do it

remove the destry

[thorn flicker]

but still, what if you drop your cobblestone you mined into the cobblestone being destroyed

and poof

there goes your cobblestone

with the gamerule method, what if someone is mining?

[prisma shard]

ok oko k ok

[distant tulip]

wrong video, nvm

[prisma shard]

can someone refer to json-ui channel i need sum help there

[thorn flicker]

I dont know json ui

[warm mason]

Dimension.fillBlocks would be a better option

[thorn flicker]

why

[warm mason]

Well, because these particles are not needed at all.

[thorn flicker]

dimension.setBlockType

[warm mason]

I don't think he only needs 1 block

[thorn flicker]

he used the setblock command.

unless its being iterated

[thorn flicker]

oh

[warm mason]

It is quite possible that the shape is not square.

[prisma shard]

ppffft

block is a square

[thorn flicker]

ah yes

a block is a sphere

ik ik

im joking

[prisma shard]

can u pls refer to json-ui? i need sum help there

[thorn flicker]

where's your post

[warm mason]

bruh? He is making his replay addon, he just sent his method for the break particles, does he have another way to display those particles? thats the only option for him, even if being aware of slowdown

[distant tulip]

can't, i am working in something

[distant tulip]

well, it is an option at least

[distant tulip]

i am actually removing that method

[warm mason]

Ok, ok, sorry

[prisma shard]

thats cool. But the animations are not smooth

[uncut lynx]

Bru thats one geometry per rotation degree

already i do every 15 degrees

[prisma shard]

Sorry also me if that hurt you

[uncut lynx]

i.e. 6 geos per block

[prisma shard]

I dont know but i've seen create addons have shafts smoother than that

[thorn flicker]

oh so its not entities

better for performance

[uncut lynx]

Ya

[thorn flicker]

because they probably used entities dude

lol

[uncut lynx]

Also i am planning on doin 1:1 port not some create-likey thingy so i dont really look at other "create" addons

[thorn flicker]

well actually it wont be that more performant

the block is ticking

[uncut lynx]

it aint

i changed it

[prisma shard]

I see

[thorn flicker]

huh

[distant tulip]

it is

[thorn flicker]

how is it changing geometry then

[distant tulip]

one way or the other

[uncut lynx]

alright im sendin u my code

then

[uncut lynx]

ya but only 1 ticking

not 1000x ticking

[thorn flicker]

which is ticking

[uncut lynx]

look at my code rq

also half of that code is claude ai LMFAO

[thorn flicker]

okay

less impressive

yeah

im no longer interested

It is highly recommended that you don't use AI-generated answers for help chats, especially for something as niche as Bedrock add-on development. Most of the code that the LLMs ate up is outdated and probably doesn't even work. 😂

just joking

[prisma shard]

Lets be honest
some people dont want to understand this
When developing with script api, People just ask AI , and he can give always wrong answers on that, since AI doesn't know about the documentation, even so, feeding the documentation is very hard. But the thing AI is too useful for is basic JS stuff, such as JavaScript logics that doesnt relate with the API, and also either useful if you tell AI to help with bigger things to help with automation that would take so much time such as, "Hey AI, can you please optimize and format the code, and make functions for some part of code, to make the code readable? and please dont add any new methods, just help to refactor the code"

[thorn flicker]

its not the fact I dont understand it.

[prisma shard]

I was not talking about you either

[uncut lynx]

@thorn flicker if you want to criticize me for using ai, then help me with my project duh

[thorn flicker]

nah

[uncut lynx]

See?

[thorn flicker]

well, its not the fact people dont understand it

[thorn flicker]

see what

[warm mason]

This does not cancel out the disadvantages of AI

[prisma shard]

mm
I think yeah

[uncut lynx]

True

I don't use ai for api-specifics

[thorn flicker]

even there were advantages its still lame

use your brain, not a robots brain

[misty dagger]

I rarely have issues with just JS logic when I run into issues with add-on development. It is almost always an issue of the API having some silly limitation.

[prisma shard]

hahah

[misty dagger]

Like right now, for instance.

[thorn flicker]

see what lol

[urban cairn]

Are you guys talking about how AI isn't accurate and shouldn't be used to write all your code or something?

[misty dagger]

The onPlayerInteract custom component event seems to absorb all block events, and cancels ordinary events. It's has no filter options (e.g. filter by item used), and it has no cancel option. So applying it to simple blocks that otherwise have no special interaction functionality beyond the one thing I need it to do is really annoying.

In this case, making a custom log that you can strip with an axe.

[thorn flicker]

just discussioning our opinions

yes

[misty dagger]

(in case there is some officially-supported method for that and I am XY probleming here)

[uncut lynx]

||I use ai so i dont feel lonely||

[thorn flicker]

poor guy.

[misty dagger]

I can make the log stripable just fine. But then you can't place anything on said log without sneaking. :P

[urban cairn]

Ah fair enough.. I actually asked it about JSON UI once and it got everything correct except it wanted to add a file for passing through textures. For how little knowledge there is on JSON UI, I'm surprised it got it correct except for the one file. I also wont lie, I do rely on ChatGPT a lot but most of it is used purely for formatting my code or helping me move existing code into classes, functions and such..

[uncut lynx]

So much sarcasm in the people i fkg swear

[thorn flicker]

sad times

[urban cairn]

I also kinda just use AI for being a solo developer too. I'm not even gonna lie about that. It helps for usre

I need to stop using it though, I'm not able to learn further since I use it so much

[prisma shard]

tbh me too

[misty dagger]

The most I can justify using AI for is as a glorified search engine. It's useful for connecting dots and getting some useful terms into my consciousness. But I refuse to use it for writing code as a matter of principle.

[prisma shard]

AI is too helpful when learning about JS.
i learned a lot about Obejct methods and Array methods, AI explained it easily

[thorn flicker]

did you really learn though

[prisma shard]

lets see, why not have a test lol

idk really if i did learn

[thorn flicker]

lmao

im not a tester

[misty dagger]

AI used to help cheat on exams moment.

Just shooting yourself in the foot.

You won, but at what cost?

[urban cairn]

I don't really tend to learn unless I'm writing the code which also kinda sucks. I managed to get a grasp on it for the Script API but if I tried typing out C# or python or whatever other language, I'm not going to be able to understand it so it's kind of a mess for how I learn. I don't have a sufficient way of learning

I get spotify ads about chatGBT being in college or whatever

what does Object.entries() method do?
you need to feel JS code to understand, I really cant explain it how it works, BUT lets say it iterates though all value and keys

can't rally use it when my project is 200+ file

Well

[short iron]

AI it's pretty simple Ask it "what's the date of your last knowledge training" or similar. You'll find out most are about 6 months ago. So it does not know that things like .chatSend before after events don't exist in the current stable like 1.19.0

[distant tulip]

was not supposed to share that screenshot

[thorn flicker]

what was it

[lyric kestrel]

Mistral has a library system where you can add all your files for it to look through and help you with. I have like 30 scripting files in one library in case I'm stuck. And its knowledge is fully up-to-date with 2.0.0-beta

[distant tulip]

cant tell, lol
it is under NDA

i thought it is another workspace

[lyric kestrel]

woop

[misty dagger]

The police are on their way.

[short iron]

And you can get ones to query the current version (if has web access) the current versions, and convert the version to actual links to some like unpkg.com for the module and use current data. But that shit eats up tokens

now its not civil matter

[prisma shard]

because now its a offtopic matter

[thorn flicker]

not moving to offtopic to continue this joke further lol

[remote oyster]

This just means you are inexperienced in that area. So you shouldn't be so quick to jump on someone about it when you lack very little knowledge to grasp it.

Prime example of why one should humble themselves. If you know then you know, but when you don't, just say you don't, and either learn more of it, or move on.

It's not a competition 🫡

i don't know how to use it, and i don't want to use it
but man they have some powerful shortcuts

[misty dagger]

Best I can come up with is to juse use the itemUse world after event and check if the block is there via the raycast method. The only downside is that it doesn't trigger the swing animation. But better no swing animation than the block not letting other blocks be placed on it.

[sterile epoch]

the time you spend learning them will amount to the time saved

[misty dagger]

On the topic of VIM, it's super useful if you're SSH'ing into a Linux server backend that has no GUI to speak of. But as an editor, it is frankly painful to use. lol

[sterile epoch]

guys I'm a nerd 🤓☝️☝️

[thorn flicker]

nerds are cool

[distant tulip]

when using them you save time, so...

not as useful

[dusky flicker]

i call that 'skill issue'

theyre limited to what vscode permits

[sterile epoch]

legit nobody except 3 people here give af about vim

[dusky flicker]

i dont think thats relevant

[sterile epoch]

n neither is vim

[dusky flicker]

so why you losing so much time talking about it?

[sterile epoch]

like 5 minutes?

[wary edge]

Why are we still talking about this? Move on.

[sterile epoch]

bcuz someone replied to me from a while ago

[remote oyster]

Move on

[dusky flicker]

i just saw 'vim' in a message and it got my attention

[remote oyster]

Lol

[sterile epoch]

I did stop bootlickin

[misty dagger]

It is, yes. Although, at the moment, I don't see the perks of VIM beyond the ability to use it in the shell worth it to get super good at it.

It would never be my regular IDE, for instance.

[dusky flicker]

actually i tried switching from vscode to nvim about 3 times

i got so confused that i simply thought about going back to vscode

[remote oyster]

Why would I need to do that? Who am I trying to impress here? Definitely ain't you lol.

Just move on. It ain't worth arguing over.

Wtf has happened here

[woven loom]

Can we use beta APIs in realms?

[fallow minnow]

Yes

[woven loom]

How?

[fallow minnow]

What do you mean

I believe you just enable the beta apis on the world and then apply the pack

[woven loom]

U sure about that

[fallow minnow]

Ummm no

[woven loom]

Hmm

[distant tulip]

upload a world with beta api on

[woven loom]

thx

any way to refresh code

[distant tulip]

don't think so

[nova wraith]

How can i summon an entity that already have a nametag?

I'm using a form with a list of mobs the player can spawn but I want one of then to spawn with a nametag applied to it

[woven loom]

create enity and change name tag

[uncut lynx]

@thorn flicker thanks, i realized thanks to you that i've been using ai lately way too much and not doing stuff myself.

[uncut lynx]

L m f a o

the api is still very limited tho

i think i'mma do it by myself from now on

[valid ice]

If you do both within the same tick, there's absolutely zero difference

spawnEntity() returns the Entity it spawned into the world, so you can do:
const entity = Dimension.spawnEntity(...):
entity.nameTag = ...;

@nova wraith

[uncut lynx]

For once again, how do i use TypeScript with "bridge. v2"

?

[distant gulch]

for entity.playAnimation, is the "controller" required? And is the list of players an Player ID or NameTag

[dusty temple]

Is there anyway I can get an item stack and supply a conditions argument that contains all of the properties of the class Container (In Typescript)

Player.prototype.hasItem = function (item: ItemStack, conditions: <Container properties>) {
  let hasItem = false;
  //Dunno what to do here
  return hasItem;
};

plr.hasItem(item, {amount: 64, nameTag: "dirt"})
// If player has 64 dirt return true, otherwise false

Might have to do some very complex typescript typing to get this desirable result 😨

[distant tulip]

No

Nametags, this is going to change in the future

[wary edge]

That sounds like a filter. And I believe in Beta Container has a findFirst itemStack.

[nova wraith]

And how do I apply this to this code? ```
if (r.selection == 11) {
player.runCommandAsync("summon goat:steve")
}

[valid ice]

don't use runCommand

[nova wraith]

That is how it is right now

[distant gulch]

ty

[nova wraith]

I want to make it spawn with the nametag

[valid ice]

const entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity("goat:steve", player.location):
entity.nameTag = "something";

requires a location too

[distant tulip]

Also, async runCommand is deprecated in v2, so avoid it

[nova wraith]

I'm new to scripts so I don't know nothing about the scripts versions

[nova wraith]

Thank you

[valid ice]

Don't know nothing = do know something

[nova wraith]

[remote oyster]

They are referring to v2.0.0-beta.

[nova wraith]

Im learning

[nova wraith]

Oh, that makes sense

I have another question, how can I detect when the player hit a custom entity with a custom item?

[safe stream]

Is there not a way to access specific slots from hotbar? I'm doing this but EquipmentSlot doesn't seem to have Hotbar or Inventory:

player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable")?.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Hotbar, 1)```

[wintry bane]

How do I get an entity's item when they're dead?

like the deadEntity

from entityDie

[distant tulip]

There is two main versions of the api, v1 (1.0.0 to 1.19.0) and v2 (starting from 2.0.0).
we moved from v1 to v2 sense the api had some changes that break backward compatibility, there slight changes in how some stuff work, also some api functions got removed.

[wintry bane]

When I kill a zombie holding a sword, I want to use scripts to drop that sword.

[nova wraith]

So, when the 2.0 comes to an oficial version, all addons will have to update it?

[distant tulip]

No, v1 stable version will still work fine

Anything that uses beta version will have to migrate

[nova wraith]

Thank you, I was starting to get worried

[wintry bane]

Can anyone reply to this?

[distant tulip]

Open a post

[wintry bane]

I'm getting undefined from both equippable and inventory

There is really nothing to worry about really, it is a smooth migration

[distant tulip]

That is a bit old, use 1.19.0 to be able to use the latest functions and APIs

[valid ice]

[wary edge]

Yeah ew go away.

[echo tinsel]

Could you tell me more. Or tell me where to look to learn that?

[lyric kestrel]

I really should learn TS

Anybody know any good videos for setting up TS properly in VSC?

[dusky flicker]

there are algorithms that transform data and use its hashed version, its used internally by hashmap and hashset(Map and Set in js), theres no where exactly to see, it depends on your purpose, you can try using murmurhash v3

it hashes a string into a 32bit number

it can have collision, but well, it depends on what are your needs

[simple zodiac]

nah but if you just want something quick, you can use my tool by running npx create-mca in your terminal.
But in general, you have a tool like esbuild, swc or even tsc go over the ts files and transpile them into js files. Just search the tools names up on the internet and you should find guides very quickly

[rose light]

system.runInterval(() => {
    const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1;
    if (airdrop_config[random]) {
        const location = airdrop_config[random].location as Vector3;
        const overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");
        
        // Adiciona o ticking area para carregar o chunk
        overworld.runCommand(`tickingarea add circle ${location.x} ${location.y} ${location.z} 1 a`);
        
        // Aguarda alguns ticks para garantir que o chunk seja carregado
        system.runTimeout(() => {
            // Agora tenta spawnar a entidade
            overworld.spawnEntity("dz:airdrop", location);
            
            // Remove o ticking area após spawnar – pode ser ajustado conforme necessário
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                overworld.runCommand(`tickingarea remove_all`);
            }, 20);
        }, 10); // Ajuste esse valor se necessário (pode ser 10, 15 ou 20 ticks)
    }
}, 20);

I am creating an automatic airdrop spawn system, but I am encountering unloaded chunk errors. How can I resolve this? I have already added tick_world to the entity, but it doesn't allow spawning in unloaded areas.

[simple zodiac]

Spam the spawnEntity thing until it doesn't error or find a different way to see if the chunk has been loaded

[rose light]

Isn't there a way to load the area through the API?

[vast grove]

One way is to calculate when the chunk is loaded. You spawn the airdrop as like an object in memory. You then iterate through all players and check if the player is within a certain range to an airdrop. You then calculate it's start position to the top most block and figure out how high you need to spawn it in order to represent a feeling of the airdrop actually being simulated.

No ticking chunks. Just a bit of smart logic and math.

[dusky flicker]

one question, if i'd do something like nosql inside minecraft(not just a class that calls world.setDynamicProperty), would you guys focus performance or memory usage? in case, would it be ok to get a little longer to read/write on it to save memory?

[vast grove]

It'll be more performance than memory. Memory isn't much of an issue unless you're writing literal GB's in which case yeah that might be a problem

[valid ice]

performance is always an issue when it comes to script API, so definitely prioritize that

[dusky flicker]

i think its better making a poll for it

[inland merlin]

did the transfer command get removed?

[vast grove]

No

[inland merlin]

not showing up in game so im confused

[valid ice]

[inland merlin]

sorry im stupid

nvm

lmao

[remote oyster]

You can create a balance, but memory in the Minecraft scripting API has its limits, if you exceed them, Watchdog can shut down your world or server (although I haven't experienced this in a long while so I am personally curious if this limitation has been modified). I’d say memory is best used for caching or temporarily loading data blobs, but even then, the size and structure of that data can still be a concern.

Unfortunately, there’s no one size fits all solution in this environment. It really depends on the structure and purpose of your data. A database design that works well for one user may not be ideal for another. What matters most is whether the approach meets the specific needs of the use case. Even if a method seems unconventional, as long as its logic is sound and fits the requirement, it’s valid.

[prime zenith]

Why is subscribe and unsubscribe depreciated in playerJoin event

[remote oyster]

It's not 🫡

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.83-stable/classes/PlayerJoinAfterEventSignal.html

[dusky flicker]

i gotta find where its telling sbout this limit. not only probably but id do implement stuff to be saved on ram and so flush them

[fallow minnow]

bad code cuh

ur getting cursed by light mode

[dusky flicker]

i really think having to read about 4kb everytime i want to read data would be bad for performance

i cannot do some hackings such understanding the data such as a in memory file and use pointer arithmetic for accessing data faster

[remote oyster]

No, it is. Reading and writing large blobs of data is definitely not ideal. One thing I enjoy about the environment for the API's is that it will teach you to learn how to write very efficient and optimized code, or suffer wondering why.

[dusky flicker]

so when requested something, it gets it oncr and keeps on ram, but all that is theory, im still thinking about how to make the 'byte array' to store it

[dusky flicker]

im really having fun with this actually

i like thinking about performance, so it will probably help me to learn about algorithms and problems i can face when dealing with performance in other scenarios

im primarly focusing on backend, but i think working with minecraft in an environment that isnt thst good, and trying to get the best of it can help me on the backend stuff

[prime zenith]

I know i didnt fix the copy paste

But subscribe being crossed out means depreciated

[dusky flicker]

i mean, the 'byte array'itself i already know, the problem is how would i structure the pages so i can read/write efficiently using btrees

[remote oyster]

I don't have an answer for this issue other than to be sure you have the right NPM package? Also, it doesn't return a player object. Only the players string name and string id. You will need to use world.getEntity() to get the object using their id string.

[prime zenith]

Oh like inside the player.join?

[echo tinsel]

I'm storing stats on a bunch of different hats. And its about 200-300 characters per the way it is right now fully writing out names and stats and it's storing numbers as like 0.10482859

[remote oyster]

BTrees will be extremely difficult to simulate in a JavaScript environment, especially when constrained to the API's ecosystem without external dependencies.

[echo tinsel]

Trying to make the hat names shorter, make the numbers whole only, and shorten the stat names without effecting the way they are displayed

[remote oyster]

Yea, so world.getEntity(event.playerId).

[echo tinsel]

I can't even unlock a quarter of the hats without hitting the 32k limot

[remote oyster]

Refactor the code to chunk the data.

[prime zenith]

Wait does get all players not work for it

[remote oyster]

Well you just want to get the specific player object of the player joining so using getEntity() is logically sound.

[dusky flicker]

yeah, alot of stuff to think

[prime zenith]

Im sorry my heads screaming why at mojang right now

[prime zenith]

Im actually trying to set an id for each player on load

[remote oyster]

Instead of playerJoin, you could use playerSpawn. That will give you the player object without having to make an additional API call.

Aside from checking if it's their first initial spawn.

[echo tinsel]

I don't quite understand sorry. Can you laymens it? Lol

[prime zenith]

I dont need to worry about if its first it will run only if that property doesnt exist

[dusky flicker]

i think that, by now, imma do a basic implementation in rust, so i can understand better how databases work, doing so directly, with the lack of knowledge i have, it would be a total mess and i'd lose my time

[prime zenith]

i still cant get over why its depreciated what are they doing

[wary edge]

It's not.

[prime zenith]

It says it is also whys it not working

[wary edge]

It says it because the signal is being replaced from IPlayerSpawn to PlayerSpawn.

[prime zenith]

So its temp crossed out ?

[remote oyster]

Check if the blob of data is exceeding the limitation for its size and if true, split the data into smaller chunks then store it. You will need to add logic to look for a key-value pair with chunks and join them back together of course. Or find some other means to handle the data, such as flattening the objects.

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[prime zenith]

Player.sendMessage is not sending player there message

Console warn below it works fine

[remote oyster]

Might not be spawning in fast enough. The spawn event can trigger before you actually load on screen.

[prime zenith]

Do i need to do a timeout console.warn got my name

[remote oyster]

You could try delaying it, yes.

Also check your chat messages. It's plausible it's working but because you aren't loaded on screen it doesn't show up but will be there when you open your chat window.

[prime zenith]

Its not in chat window

[remote oyster]

Then you are definitely not loading in fast enough.

[prime zenith]

I set timeout to 20

Still nothing

[remote oyster]

20 ticks is 1 second.

[prime zenith]

I know

[remote oyster]

1 second isn't that long.

[prime zenith]

My loading in only apears to take half a sexond ill try 10

Hmm well 10 secs worked i was waiting so ima try 5

[echo tinsel]

It is definitely exceeding the size. im trying to make it save everything in like short names. Instead of storing it as "Equipped time: long ass number" it's stores as "E:1.25.32" or something along those lines. I don't know if I need to store them separately if I can change stuff like that. But I'm still new to this so how to do that is beyond me

[remote oyster]

Sounds good. Keep in mind that everyone's load time will vary depending on their hardware, and most importantly, their ping. One person could take 1 second to load, another could take up to 60 seconds. Mileage varies.

[prime zenith]

Console warn got it right away so internalized data wont need to rime out right

And idk any better way to fix it i wish player.sendMessage was save til there loaded grr

Is there a check for if they are loaded in

I could do a recursion function that tries until they are loaded in

If theres a check

[remote oyster]

isValid maybe? Haven't messed with that property that much. Try it out and see if it returns false any time during the event. Could probably use that to loop back until it's true. Then show the message. ##theory##

Other option is to listen for their input and see if they move. Once they do, you know they are in and you can show the message.

[prime zenith]

Nope both were true

[remote oyster]

Only downside to that option is whether they are afk when they load in lol. So maybe consider a delay timer to fall back on? Lol

[prime zenith]

Its not really critical since i do get the players properties right away

[remote oyster]

I can't really think of anything else.

[prime zenith]

I may load them in with a custum bametag the purpose us so they can see there id number

    const namePart = player.name;
    const timePart = Date.now(); // e.g., 1717035512000
    const randomMs = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000); // 0–999
    const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000); // 0–99999

    return `id_${namePart}_${timePart}_${randomMs}_${randomNumber}`;
}

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event) => {
    const { player } = event;
    if (!player.getDynamicProperty("id")) {
        let id = generateUniquePlayerId(player)
        player.setDynamicProperty("id", id)
    }
    console.warn(`welcome ${player.name} `)

    system.runTimeout(() => {

        player.sendMessage(`welcome ${player.name} `)
    }, 100)

});``` this should work right

i love the effectiveness but hate testing dynamic properties

[remote oyster]

You don't have to generate a unique id. They already have one when they join the world. player.id. It's persistent in the world they join in, but never the same in other worlds.

[prime zenith]

For what im doing i do

That id is a key that i need for accessing the grand exchange it will be set to the world dynamic property as a key to your grand exchange

It has to be uncopyable unguessable and unfindable

By uncopyable i dont mean copy and paste i mean 2 ppl getting the same it has a use like a ssn basicually all world data is tied to it

[vast grove]

The player id is persistent enough though... And the player name can be changed quite easily either by offline profile or spoofing.

Also very hard to change without world editing I think

[prime zenith]

There are ways to get the built in id mine adds fluxuation to how my world works

Idk im guessing just while they make changes it says depreciated

[halcyon phoenix]

also is this the only UI t he forms only capable? they cannot arrange where it is or change the texture?

I sent the sampleManager.js as a message check it out

and then they do this

const sm = new SampleManager();

sm.registerSamples({

dang.. Back to the hellhole I guess

You're importing a class that isn't apart of Minecraft's default scripting api, I'd assume whoever made it would have documentation behind it

Or you can Ctrl + Click Sample Manager to see the code behind it

assuming ur in vscode

but where do I add that capability? The only info I'm getting from the command is sourceType

ahh nvm

It's there.. the stringify output just doesn't say it for whatever reason

[vast grove]

Yes.

[round bone]

consider using VS Code with TS instead bridge.

[round bone]

1st argument is a origin

if you want to achieve a player, use:

import { CustomCommandOrigin, CustomCommandResult, Entity, Player } from "@minecraft/server";

const sampleCommandHandle = (origin: CustomCommandOrigin): CustomCommandResult => {
    const player: Entity | undefined = origin.sourceEntity
    if (!(player instanceof Player)) {
        return {
            status: CustomCommandStatus.Failure,
        }
    }
    // player variable has `Player` type here.

    return {
        status: CustomCommandStatus.Succes,
    }
}

[cinder shadow]

I know, displaying the 1st argument into chat is only showing entityType

[round bone]

ohh an argument

you're using EntityType as an argument?

[dusky flicker]

i already had to do so with 3k, now i dont make code bigger than 500 lines if possible

[uncut lynx]

hey btw is it possible to (without manually storing it via onPlace), check the number of ticks that've passed after the block'd been placed?

Also why is this chat dead

[halcyon phoenix]

this is script chat go to #add-ons if you wanna talk that place is much more generalized

[uncut lynx]

or at least absolute value of system.currentTick for when the block was placed.

[halcyon phoenix]

what do you mean not storing it via onPlace? you mean not triggering it via onPlace Afterevent??

[uncut lynx]

basically currently i do this
onPlace(event) {
placeTick = system.currentTick;
...
}

in reality my code is more modular than that but thats basically what i do

[halcyon phoenix]

can't you just currentTick - placeTick?

[uncut lynx]

i can but i wonder if i can omit using placeTick at all

[halcyon phoenix]

that would get the difference between the ticks / duration

[halcyon phoenix]

I don't know if this works haven't tried it but run a timer that add +1 everytick?

[uncut lynx]

that'd be even worse

brb

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

welp I guess minato or neko might know somthin

[acoustic basin]

hey guys, so i'm trying to figure out the custom components v2.0, i'm making progress, made some components for the block, but now i'm trying to make an array component with objects, so when item was consumed, player would get each effect, but i'm getting error that native conversion failed for first argument of addEffect. what am i doing wrong, and how do i access the parameters of this custom component?

"v360:food_effects": [
                {
                    "effect": "absorption",
                    "duration": 120,
                    "amplifier": 0,
                    "particles": true
                },
                {
                    "effect": "regeneration",
                    "duration": 5,
                    "amplifier": 2,
                    "particles": true
                },
                {
                    "effect": "night_vision",
                    "duration": 120,
                    "amplifier": 0,
                    "particles": true
                }
            ]```

```js
onConsume({ source }, { params }) {
        source.addEffect(params.effect, params.duration, { amplifier: params.amplifier, showParticles: params.particles });
    }```

i'm sure that the way i'm trying to get parameters right now is wrong, but i don't know how to do it correctly in this case

[halcyon phoenix]

that's an array I believe to access it you gotta params[0].effect that would be absorption and params[1].effect would be regeneration.

[halcyon phoenix]

the way this works is that array -> object

[nova wraith]

Anyone?

[uncut lynx]

Hey

Also i think we should stop using the ai altogether

those 2000 lines of code from ai are my 600

[vast grove]

I don't think you should ever exceed past 1k lines unless there's a very good reason like source generation...

[thorn flicker]

yes

[halcyon phoenix]

use AI for techincal stuff and use your self for the logic

[halcyon phoenix]

I don't think you can manipulate knockback in script

how did you do it before?

[prisma shard]

what? where did this topic come from + why did you reply me + why do you care about if I use AI

its just upto yourself whether to use it or not

[uncut lynx]

i mean that ai's 2000 line code fits within my 600 lines

[prisma shard]

Okay

[prisma shard]

But i meant that ""we should stop using the ai altogether"" which you said, doesn't make sense.

[uncut lynx]

alright i didnt mean it in such way

[halcyon phoenix]

that was the most random comment lmao

I was baffled

[thorn flicker]

lets never use ai

[prisma shard]

......what? AI is not for replacing us...... i dont think you get it., AI is for helping with hard work, It can help us really, Why not use it?

[nova wraith]

2 component_groups, one with 0 resistance and other with 2, I used events to change the component_groups, but for some reason it stopped working, the player can't receive knockback even if I manually run the events with command

[uncut lynx]

Btw bridge auto compiles ts into js ^^

[thorn flicker]

again, just because I dont have the same opinion as you, does not mean I dont understand.

[prisma shard]

mh Okay

[vast grove]

AI can help if you use it correctly. Most of the time it's BS

[uncut lynx]

AI at most is really helpful for explaining something (but not doing it itself !!!!)

[prisma shard]

[thorn flicker]

my point is not about it being helpful or not

[prisma shard]

i just might be bad at english xd i see

[uncut lynx]

also ts is SOOOO good

[thorn flicker]

so ive heard.

[vast grove]

Type safety.

not like strongly typed languages also exist

[uncut lynx]

(ts compared to js)

i mainly code in C++

[vast grove]

C# is my main

[halcyon phoenix]

probably go to #1070606638525980753 something might be wrong with the json rather than the script

[remote oyster]

AI is just another tool and like any other tool it has its pros and cons. It can also be used improperly just like any other tool.

[round bone]

it's better sometimes to search smth by yourself

[remote oyster]

Been doing benchmarks with different packages and so far JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() have had the fastest read/write cycles when handling data structures. So I'm just gonna stick to using that and not worry about anything else right now. Thought I would share my experience.

-# An explicitly custom serializer and de-serializer would clearly have much faster results but not recommended for open source projects projecting to share resources with strict limitations.

[halcyon phoenix]

no more googlin

[uncut lynx]

Btw when u initialize some global object in main.js it keeps it in there like

class ClassifiedClassifyingClass {
  constructor() {
    this.classer = 1;
  }
}

classifiedClassifyClass = ClassifiedClassifyingClass();
// ^^^ this object instance will exist for the lifetime of minecraft world.

[round bone]

AI is still using in most cases outdated data

[round bone]

use static properties?

[uncut lynx]

not for when u have dynamic stuff

[round bone]

you can change static properties

they're not readonly

[uncut lynx]

yeah but that is uglier?

[round bone]

make them private and use getters/setters

[uncut lynx]

Slower duh

[round bone]

??

not that slow

[wheat condor]

wdym

[uncut lynx]

... if you can have full-ass class, then why bother with some singular-value properties?

[remote oyster]

Yea that's expected because the variable is referencing it at the top level and so as long as its reachable it will remain.

[round bone]

??????

[uncut lynx]

Yeah u can deserialize & serialize

[remote oyster]

Huh

[round bone]

static properties are better for your case

[uncut lynx]

U haven't even seen my code bro

[round bone]

??????

[remote oyster]

I don't even know what this conversation is about anymore.

[round bone]

I don't think that he is familiar with OOP xd

[uncut lynx]

I use (censored) classes duh

I'll send u my code the second i finish it

[round bone]

xd

it does not mean that you know OOP that much

[uncut lynx]

I know oop bruh i've made in C++ countless 2000+ line classes

[remote oyster]

I just made a comment regarding my experience with benchmarking data and this took a different turn haha.

[round bone]

then why you want to create a single instance of a class?

just use static atp

[uncut lynx]

Because it is nicer ?

[round bone]

???

[uncut lynx]

I don't make global namespace full of trash that way

[round bone]

it's slower

[uncut lynx]

a tiny bit

[round bone]

still slower

[uncut lynx]

correct

[round bone]

and more memory usage

[uncut lynx]

In minecraft stuff happens every 1 tick (1/20 second)

idc bout losing microseconds

[round bone]

still a bad practise

[uncut lynx]

True, i'd love to have

namespace shit {};```
in js

[round bone]

?????

[uncut lynx]

Also if there exists such then please tell me

anyone know why my enchants arent adding to the item?

[uncut lynx]

Thats C++

[round bone]

why would you have to use a namespace

[uncut lynx]

I wouldn't have to use it

[round bone]

?.

[uncut lynx]

but i'd prefer to

[dawn zealot]

wym? i asked why its not working

[round bone]

it's in .d.ts files

[round bone]

?.addEnch...

[dawn zealot]

that dont work

[uncut lynx]

I think this thread should be named "Conflicted People General"

IMO

[shy leaf]

its enchantable component

not enchantments

[dawn zealot]

o

[shy leaf]

also iirc if the item is not enchanted, it can return undefined? im not too sure

[round bone]

oh yeah

[round bone]

false

[shy leaf]

o

well, a failsafe should be alright to add here

[round bone]

just getEnchantments method is returning an empty array

[dawn zealot]

now im getting this error

[shy leaf]

uh

[round bone]

what's enchants in your code?

[shy leaf]

yeah was about to ask that

[round bone]

ahh

new EnchantmentType(type)

[dawn zealot]

huh

[round bone]

new EnchantmentType("minecraft:unbreaking")

this should be your type field

[dawn zealot]

alr

[round bone]

just copy current string ID and use this sample

[dawn zealot]

so like this then

[round bone]

2 polish teens arguing over some random thing

🤷

[uncut lynx]

Does perhaps the api allow levels to exceed normal limits? That'd be cool.

[uncut lynx]

Yeah

[round bone]

yeah

[round bone]

player.json

[uncut lynx]

But look at the chat history

[round bone]

level component

check bedrock samples

[uncut lynx]

Ik how to do it manually

[round bone]

you can use component groups technically

[dawn zealot]

apparently EnchantmentType doesnt have required privileges

[uncut lynx]

system.run(() => { shitHere() });```

[dawn zealot]

gotcha

[round bone]

use worldLoad and loaders

[dawn zealot]

idk what that is

[uncut lynx]

also why arent ppl using newest 2.0.0-beta

[wary edge]

Not everyone can or wants to use beta.

[round bone]

marketplace/must be stable

[uncut lynx]

Hmm, srsly?

Why?

[wary edge]

Because beta can break easily.

[round bone]

Marketplace has to serve stable products

Beta is changing almost every update

[uncut lynx]

But if i'd want to ship cutting edge thing, then i kinda have to

?

[shy leaf]

as a person who (has to) use beta api, youre not wrong

but

theres also a downside where

[dawn zealot]

works 👍

[shy leaf]

you have to look through the whole code for at least once if theres a breaking change

every update

most of the times its just as simple as changing version in manifest.json

[dawn zealot]

literally bro

[shy leaf]

but if this happens...

nothing would feel worse than that

[dawn zealot]

ive spent more time updating my code than making it

[wary edge]

No. You wait for it to be stable.

[uncut lynx]

i'm porting create mod duh i want the most i can get from the api.

[wary edge]

There is no cutting edge in Marketplace.

[shy leaf]

yeah im not stopping you

im just telling you the reason why ppl dont use it

(and they also explained why marketplace doesnt use it)

[uncut lynx]

Ohh okay

But i wonder, if i wanted to not only host it on some online website, but on marketplace, then do i have to lose features?

Or can i technically put there unstable-api-d mod

[shy leaf]

marketplace doesnt allow any experimental features

[uncut lynx]

... so i wait till it's stable... yay

[shy leaf]

mhm

[prisma shard]

hai guys i made this

debug screen

[dawn zealot]

also is it a bug that theres like a 10% chance my game crashes when i do /relaod or /reload all

[uncut lynx]

Yeah sometimes happens to me too

This is the thing with beta

[woven loom]

it should be fixed

[wheat condor]

cool

[dawn zealot]

its not

past 2 times ive done /reload all my game crashes

[uncut lynx]

Maybe fixed with 2.1.0-beta

[dawn zealot]

yeah im using 2.0.0

-beta

[nova wraith]

[ancient sierra]

Hello! Is it possible to spawn an enchanted book with any random enchantments?
Thanks!

[uncut lynx]

for spawning items, you'd have to use structure blocks

then i guess make each per enchantment

but that is a lot of work

[ancient sierra]

O, does <Dimension>.spawnItem not do that? Or have I interpreted it wrong

[warm mason]

The implications of AI-powered development

[warm mason]

You can make this much easier, give me a minute

[uncut lynx]

no that is the way i did that when i worked with command blocks only

idk much bout the api so i am not an expert

[ancient sierra]

I see! Thank you very much!

[uncut lynx]

as u can see i am not super crazy or whatever
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/spawning-items#structure-method

anyways the goal is to have enchantment(s) on it

[uncut lynx]

I dropped using ai

or maybe spawn some random madeup entity, do /enchant on it's item and kill it

[ancient sierra]

I see, I would like to use APIs in this case so I'll try a different approach

Thank you though!
I'll also see if I can make a way for it

[uncut lynx]

So @warm mason what bout this method?

[uncut lynx]

If i were you i'd use that

But serty prolly knows better method

[warm mason]

import { ItemStack, EnchantmentTypes } from "@minecraft/server"
/**
 * @param {import("@minecraft/server").Dimension} dimension
 * @param {import("@minecraft/server").Vector3} location
 * @param {String} itemId
 * @param {Number} enchantmentsAmount
 */
function spawnItemWithRandomEnchantments(dimension, location, itemId, enchantmentsAmount = 10) {
  const item = new ItemStack(itemId, 1);
  const enchantable = item.getComponent('enchantable');
  if (enchantable == undefined) return false;

  let types = EnchantmentTypes.getAll()
  types.sort(() => Math.random() - Math.random())
  for (let type of types) {
    if (enchantmentsAmount <= 0) break;
    if (!enchantable.canAddEnchantment({ level: type.maxLevel, type: type })) continue;
    
    enchantable.addEnchantment({ type: type, level: Math.floor(Math.random() * type.maxLevel) + 1 });
    enchantmentsAmount--
  }

  dimension.spawnItem(item, location);
  return true
}

@ancient sierra

[uncut lynx]

i knew it

serty be helpful guy

[ancient sierra]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[uncut lynx]

is there any way to enchant above normal limits via script? (i know how to do it via nbt editor.)

[warm mason]

no

[uncut lynx]

So i guess my method of structure blocks is the only real way for that lol

[scarlet lynx]

Hey!

I try deleting a dynamic property by setting it to null and it still exists?

[wary edge]

Set it to undefined

[scarlet lynx]

Instead of null>

[nova wraith]

I remove the player.jskn from the addon and for some reason the player still unable to receive knockback

And my character have 100hp (on the json file I had the hp set to 100)

Apparently the player informations are stored in the world files

[cyan basin]

Yeah, properties must be set to undefined to be cleared

[nova wraith]

If I use components to change hp then it will remain like that

[cyan basin]

Just setting to null will give it that value

[nova wraith]

I think the same applies to knockback_resistance

But what I can't understand is why it was working and now it's not working

[scarlet lynx]

Yeah, it worked with null. It was I just wasn't recalling my propertys. Also wsp man

[sly valve]

Just added AoE, and AoE + Poison abilities.
Got anyone more ideas for cool abilities?

[wheat condor]

structure, you dont need structure BLOCKS

[uncut lynx]

okay
