Script API General

[wary edge]

Not what I meant.

I meant did you wait 1 tick after setProperty before calling getProperty?

[loud brook]

oh I didn't

[loud brook]

So I should runTimout on the console.warn?

[wary edge]

Yes.

SetProperty takes 1 tick.

[loud brook]

Oh, I will try it rq then

[loud brook]

also, is that 1 tick thing new? becuase my code was working perfectly in 1.17.0

[wary edge]

No idea. It's been like that for as long as I know.

[loud brook]

man....

TYSM!!!!!

I Literally was stuck on this stupid problem for like 4 hours

Tysm so much!

[subtle cove]

Some rider component check, perhaps...

[rose light]

If I double-click quickly to use the shortcut to store the item effectively from the inventory, it executes the event 4 times. How could I solve this effectively?

[subtle cove]

Hotbar and Inventory

But idk how that's doubled

Try troubleshooting how many times that method got triggered

If idk where that's triggered i just put a stack tracer inside the event

console.error(new Error("trace").stack)

[rose light]

it runs 4 times when i use the game shortcut

[frozen vine]

player.addEffect supports infinite time?

[warped blaze]

not afaik

you must use commands

[shy leaf]

i lost track of it but afaik preview does allow infinite

[frozen vine]

Only preview?

[shy leaf]

i havent touched addons for a while so i forgot

by the way, since item lore supports RawMessage, how does text limit work now?

[warped blaze]

since last preview

oh sorry

i thought you were asking since when we had support

[shy leaf]

np

[warped blaze]

btw, wasn't the limit increased to 255 characters per line?

i remember something like it

[shy leaf]

not sure but it did increase

100 lines i think?

and/or 1000 characters per line

the docs probably didnt update

[cursive fog]

Guys

Is it possible to change the player rot using scripts?

Because tp is kinda janky

And i cant change the camera rot for first person

[sudden verge]

player.setRotation

most of the time, your question can be answered by simply looking in the docs

[distant tulip]

Well, not this time
setRotation only work on none player entities, use tp

[cursive fog]

Its not possible💀

[cursive fog]

Sorry guys
This question is pointless anymore😔

[sudden verge]

Damn that is very odd, after testing both lookAt & the setRotation methods are unsupported for players. So yeah I guess theres really no better solutions

and keepVelocity in teleport options are also unsupported, lovely

[loud brook]

Guys, I have a question
Does running system.runInterval causes lag?

[shy leaf]

depends on use case

if you have multiple runInterval running at once filled with cost intensive works, then it will cause lag

[halcyon phoenix]

I love scripts

[vast comet]

is there a way to know pushed blocks previous location?

[civic nest]

BlockPistonComponent does have getAttachedBlocksLocations function, you can use those

[distant tulip]

locations and the piston location and isExpanding and do a bit of math to get the previous location.

[lapis heart]

but that fail if the block is pushed from behind the piston (using slime blocks)

[vast comet]

What about the beforeEvent, iirc there is a before event for piston event

[civic nest]

No there isn't

[distant tulip]

It got removed

You guys should this to #off-topic

Or i should

[warm mason]

doesn't look so bad

[warm mason]

show manifest.json

[harsh robin]

sure

[warm mason]

oh..

[harsh robin]

?

[loud brook]

Well, I run two intervals, One is related about guns and players, and the other refers to an entity detecting if there is a block above it

[warm mason]

you can't use getScoreboard right after running code in V2

[shy leaf]

its prolly better to run only one interval if it runs all the time

[harsh robin]

why?

i didnt even make this

🙏

[loud brook]

Great, but would it cause lag to run two intervals? (Just asking that perhaps something like that happens in the future)

[harsh robin]

what's diffrent

[harsh robin]

how do i

change that

what to change it with

[warm mason]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/privileges

just put this file instead of yours

[harsh robin]

im not a scripter

sorry, 6

[harsh robin]

they're all gay

[drowsy scaffold]

someone skipped a number

[harsh robin]

right @shut sapphire ?

@warm mason TRY THE SCRIPT YOURSELF

IT ISNT WORKING

[warm mason]

no

If you're not going to do something yourself, go to the guy who made it.

[harsh robin]

ye

but he blocked me

ill just ask chatgpt

im sure it wont make it 10x worse

[shy leaf]

with two intervals, the script environment has to deal with two stuff

instead of dealing with the codes all at once (with only one runInterval)

[dusky flicker]

in theory yes

supposing each runInterval runs in parallel or in multi threads, which the implementors can do if they want, no it wont

but i got no idea how that is implemented

the thing is that runninh with a lot of intervals you have to paralelize them all

while making simply a single 1 it will judt execute that single one without the need to paralelize

so in theory and so far as i know about the scripting, yeah it would lag

maybe cause more overhead actually

the lag would be caused due to your function implementation

[warm mason]

runInterval simply runs a function every X ticks. That is, if you have two intervals with a delay of 1 tick, then the functions in them will be executed in turn every tick.

[dusky flicker]

but how is that handled? a cpu cant do 2 things at the same time

[sly valve]

I wish PlayerLeaveBeforeEvent had the cancel: boolean property

[dusky flicker]

what it can do is stop 1, go to another, stop that, go back, and keep like that

[sly valve]

multithreading

😿

[warm mason]

whole script is executed in one thread

one by one

[sly valve]

Microsoft is able to train its own AI but not able to Minecraft's Script API better

based

[dusky flicker]

holy hell

[dusky flicker]

i heard microshit?

[sly valve]

Yessir

[round bone]

Micro$oft*

[sly valve]

Why dont they just add

• Workers
• readJSON function
• fs (but kinda downgraded ofc)

so much goof things they could do

[dusky flicker]

so something like

runInterval(a);
runInterval(b);
runInterval(c);
is no different than
runInterval(()=>{
a();
b();
c();
});

isnt it?

[warm mason]

well basically yes

[dusky flicker]

with fs you could simply modify other things than the addon itself

like, your addons could literally write other addons

[sly valve]

let me correct. a simple function that gives me the current path or filename

[dusky flicker]

i think we can do so with bundlers

[dusky flicker]

no workers its because theyre using quickjs, as far as i know, quickjs doesnt have as well

[sly valve]

still, I would love to read json files or having workers

right quickjs...

[dusky flicker]

read json files is just, more bundlers

[sly valve]

BUT they could add it...

just a basic readJSON(path: string): Promise<Object> function

[dusky flicker]

i heard micro$hit?

but probably they won't because i dont think it is spec of js

that would probably be a thing quickjs would have to implement

[stuck ibex]

https://blog.saeloun.com/2025/07/08/new-features-in-ecmascript-2025/#import-attributes-and-json-modules

[dusky flicker]

for me thats dementia

no reason to import json files

like no other language does that

[stuck ibex]

its a great config file ig

[dusky flicker]

i mean, thats not a problem of the std to handle

[stuck ibex]

but webdev usually lacks those

[stuck ibex]

except it is, bundlers and runtimes all hacked their own JSON import support

[dusky flicker]

webdev lacks of fs

[dusky flicker]

thats a problem just on javascript community

literally no other language have an issue like this

i dont see any std on any other languages importing specifically json

or files for configs

[subtle cove]

having access to nbt is already a no-no for the devs

[stuck ibex]

cus json isn't centered on those other languages

[round bone]

I used it once

[dusky flicker]

cuz they make other languages free to use what they want

[round bone]

😳

[dusky flicker]

and not force json

what if i want to use toml instead?

[round bone]

Use YAML instead!

[dusky flicker]

yml is based

[round bone]

PNPM is using YAML, PNPM is based, so YAML is also based.

[stuck ibex]

that is half true, you can use any formats you want but its just most eco conventions are overwhelmingly json

[dusky flicker]

thats just on js community

i use a lot of code written in rust and c++, they dont use json

[stuck ibex]

ye and js mostly revolves around the community

[dusky flicker]

ghostty, kitty and alacritty, 3 terminals, none of tjem use json

[stuck ibex]

js is its own system

it can break the tradition whenever it wants

bottom line

[dusky flicker]

js being weird as always

[sly valve]

Does that really works in Mc?

[stuck ibex]

try it, let us know

[distant tulip]

it doesn't

[sly valve]

fuck

[shut vessel]

my code doesnt work i dont know why

[round bone]

Most of languages prefer YAML. Only Python prefers TOML and JavaScript using JSON.

[unreal saddle]

Is there a way to detect when an item is crafted? And block it

[unique acorn]

No, but you can detect when an item gets into an inventory

[unreal saddle]

And how? With a hasitem?

[unique acorn]

that works but you can use playerInventoryItemChange event

[unreal saddle]

What version of the API is it for?

[unique acorn]

2.1.0 or higher

[unreal saddle]

Ok, Can something be done when the item is detected, which items were needed to craft it?

[unique acorn]

well you can remove it

[quiet magnet]

Good afternoon, does anyone know if I can register Minecraft:timer with Scripts API?

And mark_variant values

"egg:pre_hatch_timer": {
          "minecraft:mark_variant": { "value": 2 },
          "minecraft:timer": {
            "looping": false,
            "time": 10,
            "time_down_event": {
              "event": "egg:spawn_state",
              "target": "self"
            }
          }
        },

Example, this one is 10 seconds and Mark Variant 2

[round bone]

You can set mark variant's value via script

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

Timer you can modify only via component groups.

[harsh dawn]

hey guys im a little new to scripting and i wanted to make something simple where if a certain player broke a block the world would send a message but everytime the player breaks something the message will say the block broken is minecraft:air (btw i changed "username" to a real username)

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

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {
const block = event.block;
if (event.player.nameTag === "username") {
world.sendMessage(user just broke ${block.type.id}!);
}
})``

[warm mason]

because it's AFTERevents, so it happens after breaking, when the block is already air

use event.brokenBlockPermutation.type.id

[harsh dawn]

o awesome tysm
do yk how i could change it so the text is a little nicer and js says the block isntead of minecraft:oak_leaves
also js to get a better understanding what does permutation do and how could i find that in the documentation

[warm mason]

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

you need to use beforeEvents if you want to use the broken block name

[cinder shadow]

Is there a restriction in format version for "minecraft:cooldown" in scripting? I'm trying to get an item's cooldown component but it's format version 1.10

[warm mason]

should work regardless of the format version, I think

[cinder shadow]

I wonder if it's freaking out because it's a vanilla food item

It only returns the compostable component

ah

this component only gets the cooldown when it's attached to food

not the "minecraft:cooldown" component

[silver agate]

How can I detect if player isn’t holding an item?

const heldItem = player.getComponent(“minecraft:equippable”)?.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.mainhand);
if (!heldItem) {
…
}```
Or

```js
const heldItem = player.getComponent(“minecraft:equippable”)?.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.mainhand);
if (!heldItem.typeId === “minecraft:air”) {
…
}```
?

[cinder shadow]

try it

[warm mason]

first one

[cinder shadow]

so this cooldown component is useless in scripting

food has a built in animation that you can't get rid of, it's cooldown is automatically applied when you start eating, not when you've finished eating the item

I can't even disable it with "can_always_eat": false because it's forced to true when in peaceful

crashing out on Minecraft food

[jagged gazelle]

I'm back!

[warm mason]

you missed "minato jutsu clone day"

hmmm

[jagged gazelle]

aww mkay...!

[cinder shadow]

oh SICK, getCooldownTicksRemaining DOESN't EVEN WORK

nvm it does, eventData.cancel makes it so getting the cooldown will be 0, but it will still set the cooldown

[cinder shadow]

I'm kinda out of options, I tried syncing the timing of the food cool down to a dynamic property, but they are incredibly inconsistent for some reason

Why we can't just get the cool down component and why it's locked to food that always triggers before you've eaten it is beyond me

[halcyon phoenix]

bro calm down

stop it

get some help

[harsh dawn]

hey guys im a little new to scripting and i wanted to make something simple where if a certain player eats food the world would send a message but i cant seem to get the food detection quite right (btw i changed "username" to a real username)

world.afterEvents.itemCompleteUse.subscribe((event) => { if (event.source.nameTag !== "username") return; if (event.itemStack.hasComponent("minecraft:food")) { const item = event.itemStack.typeId world.sendMessage(`user just used ${item}!`); } });

[warm mason]

Vanilla food items do not have the minecraft:food component because mojang....

[halcyon phoenix]

oh lol

[warm mason]

also do this when you want to send a code

[halcyon phoenix]

what component was it for food? did it ever exist?

[warm mason]

hm?

[full idol]

Taking shots in the dark here, but would it be possible to detect Horion commands through detecting when players open chat or send a message which doesn't reach the server somehow? Any ideas appreciated!

[valid ice]

Sadly you cannot- the messages never reach the server so scripts can’t detect them

[full idol]

I'm too scared to install the software to run enough tests, but would this even apply to detecting them opening chat, typing, or having Minecraft register the message send button on the client, even if the server doesn't see it? Of course we don't have access for keybinds, but if there's some "isTyping" thing, and they regularly do that without sending a message I could work with just that

[valid ice]

There is no isTyping or anything like that- only way is if they stand still for extended periods of time, which would be very inaccurate due to, say, them tabbing out or something

And the client can’t pass data to the server, save for very specific instances, so seeing UI buttons pressed or testing chat being opened would always be very inaccurate

[full idol]

I see. Thanks so much for the input, I'll keep looking for ideas.

There has to be something out there to catch it. I know any large scale release would let them patch it rapidly to avoid detection, but I'm working small scale here

I have even considered "captchas" which require them to type .eject while joining as I've heard it must be injected from the main menu before doing anything? This fell apart because people can change prefix

[harsh dawn]

o then wat can i do to detect if the item being used is food or eaten?

[valid ice]

Best way that folks have used to catch it is, well… testing for the hacks. You really can’t check if the client is installed or commands are used. And modules can’t be detected if they don’t ever use them or are smart about it (they usually aren’t)

[warm mason]

(item.hasTag("minecraft:is_food") && item.typeId.startsWith("minecraft:")) || item.getComponent("food")

I don't remember exactly what the tag should be

[cinder shadow]

wait the cooldown component can't even be read in a before event, so it's impossible to actually check whether the item is being used off of it's cooldown

I give up

this components a mistake

[cinder shadow]

mk I got it finally.. had to use the itemCompleteUse event

[harsh dawn]

hmmm still a little confused on this ig

[cinder shadow]

you could just make an array of every food item

[harsh dawn]

and list every food item?

[cinder shadow]

yes

that's what I've done

at least every food item I care about

[harsh dawn]

ehhh i js feel liek theres gotta be a better way to do it

[stark kestrel]

Laziness is bad.

[harsh dawn]

yea thats wat i thought but i cant rlly find another way to do it

[halcyon phoenix]

find the common factor of all foods and detect that

[harsh dawn]

?

[halcyon phoenix]

??

[hazy kraken]

like this?

[cinder shadow]

did you try it and see if it works?

[halcyon phoenix]

@hazy kraken

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

[hazy kraken]

it doesn't

[hazy kraken]

so whats the common factor?

[halcyon phoenix]

you find it

I have no idea but if there's a will there's a way

[hazy kraken]

ohhhh ok

I thought u ment there was one and u knew it lol

[halcyon phoenix]

if it's not doable then list all food manually

[hazy kraken]

i js made a fat list with all the food types

[halcyon phoenix]

@harsh dawn

[cinder shadow]

now just do const isFood = foodItemTypeIds.includes(item.typeId) and you're done

[harsh dawn]

o cool

[hazy kraken]

yea I got it there I was js wondering if there was another way

[grand needle]

Does anyone know if it is possible to detect items in the crafting table slot?

[subtle cove]

no methods in script-api, unfortunately

only inventory, equipment and cursor

[stark kestrel]

is it possible to get if a block was stopped mining?

[halcyon phoenix]

no

[shy leaf]

has anyone figured out how to check for duplicate lines on item lore with RawMessage?

im currently fiddling with the new RawMessage argument for item lore and i cant seem to filter out existing lores and avoid interfering with other lore texts

since its a RawMessage and not just string, i cant compare it nor use .filter() or .includes()

or should i just stringify an object in RawMessage and compare with that? i dont know if stringifying existing lore works

[shy leaf]

OH WAIT

getRawLore EXISTS

😭

[harsh dawn]

hey guys im a little new to scripting and i was wondering what the difference was between event and eventsignal classes because i see this pattern a lot

[shy leaf]

signal is for managing callbacks of the specific event, it has un/subscribe methods

also some event subscribes have interfaces for filtering options

[stark kestrel]

man when are they adding that

[shy leaf]

hopefully soon

one day

[stark kestrel]

i dont even think they will add support for bedrock so make a block stay in its broken state if it was being mined

:/

[shy leaf]

cant say theyll never do it

it might not be their top priority

but it could happen one day

            });``` what wrong with `player.teleport` ?

[shy leaf]

teleport takes Vector3 object as first argument

but in that code, youre giving three Number objects, which is wrong

so you should be doing

player.teleport({
    x: forwardX,
    y: forwardY,
    z: forwardZ
}, {
    dimension: dim,
    rotation: target.getRotation()

        e.clearVelocity()
    }
});

stable module

[halcyon phoenix]

it's pausing mid air

[jagged gazelle]

function parseLocation(location) {
let [left, right] = location.split(':');

if (left.includes('.')) {
const [namespace, value] = left.split('.');
left = ${namespace}:${value};
} else if (!left.includes(':')) left = minecraft:${left};

if (right) {
if (right.includes('.')) {
const [namespace, value] = right.split('.');
right = ${namespace}:${value};
} else if (!right.includes(':')) right = minecraft:${right};
} else right = left;

return [left, right];
}```

[normal wing]

quick swap mainhand / offhand?

[jagged gazelle]

no...

not even close lol

[normal wing]

lol you said guess, so...

[warm mason]

you could use left = left.replace('.', ':');

[jagged gazelle]

Yeah, I just realized that... Thanks!

[warped blaze]

i think he wanted to freeze players, that script seems to freeze everything but players

[warped blaze]

.

[distant tulip]

i am confirming to serty that clear velocity won't work

[distant tulip]

.

[warped blaze]

oh mb

[warped blaze]

it just slows things down isn't it?

[distant tulip]

seem so
altho Serty is talking about beta api (it is the one that have player support for clearVelocity)
i was using stable model so that what i was able to test at that time

[subtle cove]

If there's anything happening in the area, then u can get the rough location especially when there's entity there

[snow apex]

Ending up learning a bit to write one myself lmao, but thank you

[halcyon phoenix]

did you check the player velocity?

[snow apex]

No i just used the built in detection with scripts

Works great

I mean like an api that tells you the ticking area names in script api

[thorn flicker]

theres no method for that.

[dusky flicker]

terrible stuff

[prisma shard]

thank you very much

also

how to get the player according to player id i have

[round bone]

By player's ID you mean Entity.id or his XUID?

[prisma shard]

Entity.id

[round bone]

Then use World.getEntity(id)

[prisma shard]

huh

getEntity?

that even exist?

INTERESTING, i never knew this existed.....

[sharp elbow]

It's a fascinating method. Very useful

[prisma shard]

@warm mason If i remember correctly... You shared a stomp mechanic function, Which applies knockback like stomping. Is that script still being shared? I can't find

[dusky flicker]

what is xuid?

[round bone]

Xbox Unique Identifier - ID binded directly to Xbox's account.

[somber cedar]

nvm it says Playfab there

[round bone]

Don't use PlayFab, it's spoofable.

If you can't use XUID, use entity's identifier.

[round bone]

It's pretty fast and easy.

        applyKnockbackUpdated(target, direction.x, direction.z, 5, direction.y * 0.5 + 0.5);

}

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(event => {
    if (event.itemStack.typeId !== 'minecraft:stick') return;
    bossStomping(event.source)
})


function applyKnockbackUpdated(target, dirX, dirZ, horizontalStrength, verticalStrength) {
    const horizontalForce = {
        x: dirX * horizontalStrength,
        z: dirZ * horizontalStrength
    };

    target.applyKnockback(horizontalForce, verticalStrength);
}

This also launches up the player.. and sometimes, It can't find the entity.
In my case, i am using player as the target entity, and stick as a stomper

[halcyon phoenix]

you can change the default text?

what do you mean by default text?

[halcyon phoenix]

like the default lore for the items

yeah you can use RawMessage on it

which has translation and other stuff

that's very helpful I should try and make that

can you change the layout too?

[shy leaf]

the layout?

How do I get the dimension name from the dimension an entity is in? entity.dimension returns [object Object]

Is there sth like entity.getDimension()?

[halcyon phoenix]

stringify it

JSON.stringify(entity.dimension)

[nimble schooner]

Ty

[halcyon phoenix]

that just turns it into string

[nimble schooner]

It returns {"id": "overworld"} so I guess I can just do entity.dimension.id to get the string I need right away

I mean I don't just guess

[halcyon phoenix]

oh yeah I forgot

yeah you can do that

[nimble schooner]

Ty for your help dude

Or not dude, idk

[halcyon phoenix]

is fine is fine

[shy leaf]

i think i forgot to post this function too

function stringifyRawMessage(msg) {

  if (msg.text) return msg.text;
  if (msg.translate) return msg.translate;
  if (msg.rawtext) return msg.rawtext.map(stringifyRawMessage).join("");
  return "";
}

idk how to make this better but it works for now

...actually, hold on

ok nvm it didnt work

youre passing an object that dimension argument does not take

[subtle cove]

it needs a Dimension prototype so ```js
const dimension = world.getDimension(target.dimensionId)
player.teleport(target.location, {dimension})

[nimble schooner]

Oh ty that's a good idea

[subtle cove]

or that way

[broken pawn]

i don't really understand how to utilize playerSpawn and playerJoin.

i just want the command executed once the player join or respawn

the player isn't in the world yet on playerJoin

playerSpawn is when the player actually spawns in the world

[broken pawn]

well, how to correct it?

wait

[open urchin]

put everything in playerSpawn

[broken pawn]

world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe((player)=>{

[round bone]

The closest thing you can approach is by using item's lore and saving it with paragraphs (§).

[unique dragon]

Just an internal thing

We can't use it

The things that we can use are in the wiki

[runic maple]

DW tnx, it's still not useful cause container.contains() or container.find() doesn't recognise the item if you change the item's lore or dynamic property or nameTag

I could loop through all the slots but this would prolly cause lag as the function runs every second

[round bone]

That's why I said the closest thing, if you don't want to use lore, then you have to make your item unstackable.

[distant tulip]

My current project is full of shity work arounds cause of the key binding limitations

[jagged gazelle]

It's also the fact that it works before... i was so confused and mad that it doesn't anymore.

it's like they literally separated the dismount button ID to the sneak button itself.

[distant tulip]

Was this when they made the player hitbox shorter on sneak

[jagged gazelle]

I'm not entirely sure but there's a chance that it is...

I need a professional to actually say the reason why they did that 😭😭

It's frustrating asf...

[distant tulip]

Let's mass ping navi
-# jk

[cinder shadow]

I feel scammed

It may be incorrect because it's not actually checking if the entity is on the ground, it's just checking if their velocity is 0

[halcyon phoenix]

just check if velocity is 0 instead LMAO

scammiest method

[cinder shadow]

Well I'm trying to use it for my custom falling block

But entities do not fall at the same speed as the falling block entities

guys, i need some help. so i have a block, let's call it block A, and i have block B. when block B is destroyed, i spawn a particle, and i want that particle to travel to the block A, if it's present in a 48 block radius from block B, kind of how particles go to creacking heart when you hit the creacking

is there any way to do this without any lag?

[shut citrus]

What's onswing event and how to use it?

[lapis heart]

It's on preview for now

[acoustic basin]

nevermind

[wintry bane]

What do you guys think about using block class for server ui icons?

so instead of using individual isometric screenshots, it uses what the inventory uses

[warm mason]

it would be nice if it could be calculated properly

[wintry bane]

like form.button("Crafting", craftingTableVariable);

[warm mason]

and what is craftingTableVariable equal to?

[wintry bane]

block class

[open urchin]

i think a BlockType would make more sense

[warm mason]

you will get an error

[wintry bane]

yeah blocktype

What about blocks with different states

[warm mason]

Technically you can do this by modifying JsonUI so that it supports rendering items via AuxId, but you can't get the exact ID of a block/item so you can't do this.

[warm mason]

BlockPermutation

[chilly fractal]

i have a question

if anyone has tested this case, please tell me so

anyway so if you register custom commands with synchronous functions as their handlers, but they require some asynchronous logic, and you have to wait for that logic before returning a CustomCommandResult (or undefined)

and you use a .then/.catch block to do this

does the API accept this or only strict synchronous results?

[subtle cove]

Only sync results, and yes cmd result or undefined is what it's limited to, it doesn't accept promises/async results

In my case, I tried to do awaition there, it's my 1st encounter where awaition cannot be done in there so gota use system.run

[shut citrus]

what's on swing mean?

[distant tulip]

when the player swing his arm

[lapis heart]

Right/left click

[woven loom]

it triggers everytime the player's hand moves

[halcyon phoenix]

you can get the direction of block A to block B and just mult it

[untold magnet]

umm, is it possible to take an ingame screenshot using commanda or scripts?

[round bone]

Not possible.

[untold magnet]

[cyan basin]

we really need the this on bedrock... it would be so nice to be able to just grab skins, player heads and more

[somber sundial]

yeah would be nice, now they've made skin apis for bedrock i don't see why they couldn't do it at some point

i guess the fact they're not storing user-uploaded skins is a big reason as to why they probably wouldn't

half the time it'll just resolve to a default character

[warped blaze]

at least we should be able to get the skins of active players in the current server/world

[somber sundial]

you can with server-net but cant really do much with it

[warped blaze]

yeah but i mean with just the @minecraft/server module

[somber sundial]

Where do I get MinecraftEffectTypes from?

I see other people importing files like "./vanilla-data.js" and I heard there was a way of getting the vanilla data from the minecraft server but it's a pain to figure out unless I'm just not seeing it

I thought there was a package like "@minecraft/vanilla-data" or something

nevermind i guess it is a thing.. i just tried it in npm 🤷‍♂️

[somber sundial]

it's not a package that ships with the client, so you'll need to compile it into your source if you intend on using it

[cyan basin]

How would I compile it into it?

[somber sundial]

using some form of bundler is the easiest way

https://github.com/microsoft/minecraft-scripting-samples/tree/main/ts-starter is an example using ts etc

[cyan basin]

so i do actually have to make it into a script file?

i have typescript.. it's just weird that i can install it as a npm package but i have to bundle it?!

[round bone]

Or you can drag files directly into your project.

[cyan basin]

alr yeah, i just moved it into my project.. easier way i guess

[round bone]

You can always make these enumerations constant to take a small boost.

[runic maple]

Hey I have like a solution for that I'd plan to post in dev-resources later

[wintry bane]

Is it using "subject": "target"?

[runic maple]

Basically if you remove (i forgot I'd check my PC later), the is it attack behaviour component of the entity with an event and add it later it looks for the last entity that hurt it

So I use like entity.hurtafter event,to check whether it was it's target that hurt it, and it's random depending on damage

[wintry bane]

What's the usecase for this?

Setting targets?

[runic maple]

Yh

[wintry bane]

huh

[runic maple]

You can also use the reset_target in events property to remove the entities target and apply a damage of 0 from it's new target to it

[wintry bane]

I like the idea but I use entity.target for other things like monsters hurting you remotely.

[runic maple]

Aight

[prisma shard]

Woah, So that using that you can set a entity's target and it will attack the selected entity?

If I am setting the target by causing the damage without the target hurting the entity first I apply a knockback of 0 in all directions - it cancels the bounce that happens when an entity is hurt

    //message: "Successfully opened Sweep 'N Slash configuration menu for " + player.name
  };
}

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((init) => {
  const configMenuCommand = {
    name: configCommand,
    description: "sweepnslash.commanddescription",
    permissionLevel: 0,
    cheatsRequired: false
  };
  init.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(configMenuCommand, configFormOpener);
});

function configForm(player) {
  //...
};

this is my take on custom commands

making the custom command to run codes directly rather than making it run a function kinda caused an issue where i couldnt reload to debug it

since registered stuff cant be reloaded mid game

so i just slapped functions here and there

[prisma shard]

ts -> this shit

[shy leaf]

how is the new swing event? its obviously more reliable than AC method, but how does it compare?

[distant tulip]

It is the same thing

[shy leaf]

what about the delay?

[thorn flicker]

theres no delay

theres some issues with it though, such as, if you break a block, it'll trigger 20 times.

[shy leaf]

odd

[thorn flicker]

i cant report it: #1407392112588230676 message

maybe you can, if its not reported already.

[floral timber]

did u work it out?

[distant tulip]

That's not a bug
When you are breaking a block it run in an interval

[thorn flicker]

what

I mean in creative

[distant tulip]

same

[thorn flicker]

I dont understand.

[distant tulip]

creative is the same as survival

[thorn flicker]

Minato

[thorn flicker]

im asking what you mean by this

[distant tulip]

the swing animation run in an interval

[thorn flicker]

that does not help

[distant tulip]

[thorn flicker]

I dont see why this would be intended.

[distant tulip]

cause the swing is running in a loop

[thorn flicker]

it spamming it 20 times when breaking a block is not a good thing.

[gray tinsel]

would anyone know how to detect if an itemstack is a block?

[thorn flicker]

check if the typeId is included within BlockTypes.

import BlockTypes from server

[gray tinsel]

ah sweet ty

[open urchin]

you'll have to do some manually since not all of the IDs are the same
e.g. the item is minecraft:sugar_cane and the block is minecraft:reeds

[thorn flicker]

function isBlock(id) {
    const types = BlockTypes.getAll().map(type => type.id)

    if (types.includes(id)) {
        return true
    }
}

[thorn flicker]

yeah.

true.

[open urchin]

i'd move types outside of the function since they won't change

[gray tinsel]

we love mojang :P

[thorn flicker]

i quickly made this

[thorn flicker]

mojang so cool

[distant tulip]

you can just try block.setType and see if it throw error

[thorn flicker]

same issue would occur though

[warm mason]

BlockTypes.get() left the chat

[thorn flicker]

oops

[warm mason]

😭

[thorn flicker]

nothing wrong that logic

[warm mason]

function isBlock(id) {
    return BlockTypes.get(id) != undefined;
}

[warm mason]

return list.includes(element);

[warm mason]

useless condition

[thorn flicker]

nothing wrong with that logic.

[warm mason]

yes, it works correctly, but like, why?

[thorn flicker]

because its the way I quickly wrote it.

[distant tulip]

Yeah, i just feel like it would be faster, you are dealing with a massive list there

[thorn flicker]

it'll be faster with serty's correction I imagine.

[shy leaf]

ill do it after testing it

[thorn flicker]

thanks

[woven loom]

Does anyone have a fake spectator addon

Using camera api

[dusky flicker]

typescript is simply a 'language' that transpiles to js, when you write

function f(n:number):number {
return n * 2;
}

what it will convert to is:
function f(n){
return n * 2;
}

so anything available in js is available on ts, and anything available on ts is available on js, even though the code might not look beauty, such as decorators that are not implemented on most js engines

[round bone]

It would convert to:

"use strict"
function f(n){
  return n * 2
}

[dusky flicker]

i still dont get the usage of 'use strict'

I have used VS Code twice after switching to macOS, JetBrains's IDEs are much better for me.

Oh, VS Code might be better for you.

i usually work fine with my hardware.
but sometimes some projects require a lot of performance like my current project
opening the game + vs code + blockbench with a 1000 cube model and 1mb animation file

[simple zodiac]

Jedbrains IDE's are peak but they somehow manage to hog up more resources then vscode. It is however faster when it comes to like auto completion suggestions and intellisense

[amber nest]

how do i fix this

[unique acorn]

by removing vanilla-data in your manifest.json

@minecraft/vanilla-data isn't an actual module included in the game, you have to include it yourself

[amber nest]

how

i mean i did but if i dont add it to the manifest it tells me to do it

[unique acorn]

you can use a bundler

[unique acorn]

it says "if this is a native module, add it to manifest.json".
and if you haven't guessed it, vanilla-data isn't a native module!!!

[amber nest]

oh right i didnt read that part

[unique acorn]

use a bundler or download it from here then add the js file to your project

how to keep entityDieAfterEvent from throwing errors when using command /kill?

[hidden perch]

does anyone know how do i give player spawn_egg 1 51 by do new ItemStack thrn add to player container?

new ItemStack(spawn_egg, 1)

[shy leaf]

are you trying to edit the entity after dying?

[shy leaf]

afaik spawn eggs have their own ids now, so you can just use id like zombie_spawn_egg

[hidden perch]

👁️

okay i’ll try

[shy leaf]

also, container has a method for adding item

iirc

[hidden perch]

ik but im curious about itemid

cuz i do “minecraft:spawn_egg 1 51” so it throw me an error

but thanks for advice 🙏🏻

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Container.html#additem

[slender bolt]

no just detecting

[shy leaf]

can you post the code here?

also what error is it throwing?

[shy leaf]

@hidden perch note that the method doesnt account for full inventory, so nothing will happen when the inventory cant store the item

you can do a workaround by using runCommand to give the item if you want it to drop from full inventory

[hidden perch]

this is fine

i’m helping that guy who trying to make admin panel

Cannot read 'typeId'

                    const deadEntity = event.deadEntity;
                    const damager = event.damageSource.damagingEntity;
                    const damagingProjectile = event.damageSource.damagingProjectile;
                    const loot = deadEntity.typeId === "gg:scar_mag_loot" || deadEntity.typeId === "gg:scar_mag_empty_loot" || deadEntity.typeId === "gg:deagle_mag_loot" || deadEntity.typeId === "gg:deagle_mag_empty_loot";

                    
                    if (deadEntity.typeId === "minecraft:player" && damager.typeId === "minecraft:player" && gotHit.hasTag("shot") && !loot ) {
                        player.addTag("dead");    
                        return;                    
                    } else if (!loot && damager.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
                        player.setProperty("gg:is_hitting", 2);
                        player.runCommand(`/playsound random.orb @p ~ ~ ~ 1 2`);
                        return;
                    }
                    
                });```

[shy leaf]

of undefined?

[slender bolt]

this line throws the error else if (!loot && damager.typeId === "minecraft:player")

[shy leaf]

if the entity dies without a damaging entity, it will be undefined

hence the error

[slender bolt]

It doesn't really ruin the code but it's annoying

[shy leaf]

just add a check if the damager is valid

[slender bolt]

how?

[shy leaf]

if (!damager) return;

or something like that

[slender bolt]

Alright thanks

It works thank you

@granite badger jayly bot not working again....... :<
the /docs info
.

is getBiome and getLightLevel still preview ?

[round bone]

Yes, still in preview.

[prisma shard]

can i get the 2.2.0-beta npm install comand

the bot is down

[round bone]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@minecraft/server/v/2.2.0-beta.1.21.102-stable

[prisma shard]

wait whar

1.21.102 released?

[granite badger]

just booted up the bot again.
For the record, my site also has the npm install command for every module. That’s more reliable at times

[lapis heart]

Tip: In any event, use ?. after each property of the event to avoid errors.

Like:

                    const loot = deadEntity?.typeId === "gg:scar_mag_loot" || deadEntity?.typeId === "gg:scar_mag_empty_loot" || deadEntity?.typeId === "gg:deagle_mag_loot" || deadEntity?.typeId === "gg:deagle_mag_empty_loot";

[distant tulip]

Uh, don't use that everyware

[round bone]

import { Entity } from "@minecraft/server"

class EntityLootable {
    private constructor() {}
    private static readonly LOOTABLE_ENTITIES: Readonly<Set<string>> = new Set<string>([
        "gg:scar_mag_loot",
        "gg:scar_mag_empty_loot",
        "gg:deagle_mag_loot",
        "gg:deagle_mag_empty_loot",
    ])

    public static isLootable(entity: string | Entity): boolean {
        return this.LOOTABLE_ENTITIES.has(entity instanceof Entity ? entity.typeId : entity)
    }
}

export { EntityLootable }

[lapis heart]

🗿
Why ?

[distant tulip]

It is not a good practice, use it when it matters, and when it is better than the alternatives.
An early return well work better in such a case

[shy leaf]

yeah, cases like damagingEntity not existing and throwing error can be resolved by early return

[lapis heart]

Of course. But I mean if you want to use it in if and the code doesn't stop after that.

[lethal bramble]

how would i get the block to an arbitrary direction of another block, without using a large if-else structure or switch statement? for example, i want to know if there is a function thet can do something like this:

block::getBlockFromDirection(Direction): Block

[round bone]

There's a method to get an another block by offset frmo another.

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

[lethal bramble]

thx but i alr looked there

there doesnt seem to be a method for using a direction

[round bone]

You can use a hashmap to get a vector from a directory, then apply it to a method.

[lethal bramble]

ok thx

[round bone]

Are you using JS or TS? Just asking if you need any code example, so I can write a simple one for you.

[lethal bramble]

ts

[round bone]

Nice, I like using TS over JS.

import { Direction, type Vector3, Block } from "@minecraft/server"

const directoryOffset: Readonly<Map<Direction, Vector3>> = new Map<Direction, Vector3>([
    [Direction.Down, { x: 0, y: -1, z: 0 }],
    [Direction.East, { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }],
    [Direction.North, { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 }],
    [Direction.South, { x: 0, y: 0, z: -1 }],
    [Direction.Up, { x: 0, y: 1, z: 0 }],
    [Direction.West, { x: -1, y: 0, z: 0 }],
])

const newBlock: Block | undefined = someOtherBlock.offset(directoryOffset.get(yourDirection)!)

[lethal bramble]

thank you!
also yeah, TS is so much better

[round bone]

A life-saver in bigger projects.

[untold magnet]

umm, is it possible to extract a number from a string?
the text is from a custom item tag, it will look something like this customtag:4000 so i just want to see if it is possible to get that exact number or not.

[dusky flicker]

text.split(":")[1]

[untold magnet]

umm, how can i use the tag string?
like i need to detect if the tag starts with customtag: for example and extract the number that will be after the tag.

[warm mason]

const number = Number(entity.getTags().find(tag => tag.startsWith('customtag:'))?.split(':')[1]);

[untold magnet]

and i just have to put number in my codes? thanks!

[untold magnet]

Number returns unknown / not defined

[warm mason]

then there is no such tag, idk

[dusky flicker]

let numeric = 0;
if(tag.startsWith("customtag:")) numeric = Number(tag.slice(10)); //10 == length("customtag:")

[untold magnet]

ill deal with it later ig, gotta play some ||warThunder||

[sly valve]

Use a Set instead.
Why getting a property mutliple times if you only need to do it once

[untold magnet]

        const eTag = itemStack?.getTags()?.find(tag => {if (tag?.startsWith('xhydration:')) eHydValue = tag?.slice(11)});
        console.warn(eTag)
```returns undefined

oh my bad

[sly valve]

Beautiful

[shy leaf]

@thorn flicker apparently my preview is refusing to install so i might have to try it again after i get back to college dorm

[thorn flicker]

Alr

[shy leaf]

thinking about it...

i wonder if the event triggering 20 times is the reason why v.attack_time has a delay

wait

i dont know if the event triggers 20 times at once

or on every tick

[thorn flicker]

it only triggers 20 times when you break a block.

[untold magnet]

umm, player?.setDynamicProperty('xHydration:hydrationValue', hydValue + eHydValue); will set the hydrationValue to 206 for some reason, like it just looks like this: hydValueeHydValue

[shy leaf]

(you dont have to add namespace btw)

[untold magnet]

hydValue = 20
eHydValue = 6
instead of 26, it returns 206

[shy leaf]

thats probably because the number is actually string and not number

string + string results in stringstring

[untold magnet]

it is a string, then how can i turn it from sting to number?

[shy leaf]

maybe try converting it to number first

[thorn flicker]

Number(string)

[shy leaf]

yeah, theres a native class in javascript

like how it has Math and Date

[thorn flicker]

why is it a string though in the first place

[shy leaf]

theyre extracting number from tag

iirc

[thorn flicker]

oh, I see.

[untold magnet]

oh, i see.

[shy leaf]

so they just, burst out 20 times at once, in a tick?

[thorn flicker]

why arent they using custom components

with params

[thorn flicker]

yes

[shy leaf]

wow

thats super odd

i cant even guess why that happens

😭

[thorn flicker]

idc why it happens

I just want it fixed lol

[shy leaf]

same

it sounds like an annoying issue

[thorn flicker]

only issue with it, far as I know

other than that HELL YEAH, SWING AFTER EVENT WOOOO

FINALLY

and there's no delay, I think

[shy leaf]

my addon is one step closer to be player.json free

[thorn flicker]

why do you need it for?

[shy leaf]

for checking player attacking in general

and uh

for custom damage mechanics

[thorn flicker]

long range weapon swing?

[shy leaf]

nope

[thorn flicker]

why do you need that for damage mechanics?

[shy leaf]

i should prob explain what i did

gimme a second

[thorn flicker]

alr

[shy leaf]

right so you know that entities have minecraft:attack component, right?

[thorn flicker]

oh this?

https://mcpedl.com/sweep-n-slash/

[shy leaf]

oh

you know it

lmao

yeah

[thorn flicker]

no

I just saw it on your profile

[shy leaf]

yeag ill still explain it

[thorn flicker]

I dont download addons

so yeah

[thorn flicker]

I dont know whats popular if it is

[thorn flicker]

yes

[shy leaf]

that entirely disables damaging entities

[thorn flicker]

okay so, no damage

[shy leaf]

yeah, no damage

but entityHitEntity still fires

and i made use of that

[thorn flicker]

and you use applyDamage?

[shy leaf]

yep

its not perfect tho, cuz that whole thing is probably a bug

[thorn flicker]

how does this support custom items?

weapons, I mean

[shy leaf]

it doesnt

but

[thorn flicker]

you should add a config

[shy leaf]

the stats are data driven

[thorn flicker]

that allows people to setup damage models

[shy leaf]

yeah thats what i added

[thorn flicker]

you said it doesnt support it

oh you mean off the bat

[shy leaf]

i mean

yeah

[thorn flicker]

my bad

[shy leaf]

its ok
