Script API General

[shy leaf]

uh

ok

ig

[eager oriole]

I just need the lightning bolt skill, so I can complete my mob

[hazy kraken]

Respectfully, do it yourself

[thorn flicker]

not create it for you

[stark kestrel]

is there no script native way to use the tickingArea command?

[rare plume]

this isn’t a place to be spoon-fed code, it’s a place to learn

[valid ice]

Nop

[warped kelp]

-# These messages remind me of when I was new :D

[stark kestrel]

Well that's sad, thanks though

[sly valve]

We can help you doing the whole thing (the theoretical part of it)

[eager oriole]

I alr know how, ty tho

[sly valve]

Okay great, if you need help with the code part, ask us
(Not for the whole code)

[sly valve]

Nice

[meager zenith]

Does anyone know how to use player.setRotation(), I am trying to use it but it's not working

[distant tulip]

it is locked for entities only

[meager zenith]

oh

thx

wait then why does it exists ??

[distant tulip]

🤷‍♂️

[untold magnet]

btw, let currentValue = 'Default'; will never reset after leaving and rejoining the world, right?

like it will work similar to dynamicProperties, right?

[distant tulip]

no

whats in memory always reset after rejoin or /reload

[sly valve]

Like Minato said.
If you want values that keep their current value, use dynamic properties

[untold magnet]

i think that'll be an issue for my script, lemme do some testing first, ill probably just use dynamic properties for it

[sly valve]

Sure

[untold magnet]

yup, it is indeed bugged

[untold magnet]

i can fix the issue without having to use dynamic properties

lol

currentValue.includes(['Default', 'Cool']) is more than enough to fix the issue,

[sly valve]

I dont think includes works like that...

[untold magnet]

includes([array of values]);

[sly valve]

Hmm really? Let me check the docs

Nvm im busy

[floral timber]

it doesn't

[untold magnet]

nvm it doesnt

but this one does ['Default', 'Cool'].includes(currentValue)

[sly valve]

Yes

[hazy kraken]

Is there a way to change the name of an NPC? I can't give it a name tag, and changing its display name doesn't change its acc entity.nameTag

[deep quiver]

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

Try this

[hazy kraken]

Ight

[jolly citrus]

is world.playMusic the same as world.playSound

seems that it isn't

so what is the equivalent of world.playSound now

[thorn flicker]

its in the dimension class now.

[jolly citrus]

ah thx

[jolly citrus]

can i remove xp from players

not levels, xp

[fiery solar]

Yes, you can call player.addExperience() with a negative number.

[jolly citrus]

oh

i just did this

is it basically the same

const remainingXP = xpComp - price;
      player.resetLevel();
      player.addExperience(remainingXP);

i assumed it doesnt work with a negative number since /xp doesn't either

[valid ice]

You also need to remove any remaining XP, as reset level just removes all levels, and not any XP between level 0 & 1

[cursive fog]

Is there anyway to damage a durability using scripts?

[safe stream]

Why am I just finding out addExperience() is a thing. Is it a new method? (Or at least released to stable recently)

[valid ice]

ItemStack durability component -> change the .damage property value

[timid zenith]

A question what is the last manifesto of 1.21.101

[cursive fog]

On scripts or item json?

[valid ice]

You'd need the durability component in JSON for custom items (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/itemreference/examples/itemcomponents/minecraft_durability), and scripts can change the value of the durability

[cursive fog]

I need the thing to be used 6 times before it replace item(ill use json if possible)

[cursive fog]

Ohh ok

[dapper smelt]

hi

[timid zenith]

???

[warped kelp]

runCommandAsync can be used with await?

[drowsy geyser]

Quick question see how there are tags on a item like a pickaxe for example

How do I get / find the whole list of tags like I know stuff like wood stone iron\pick_diggable but where to find the list of options ?

[devout sandal]

Is there a way to add custom tags to blocks when they are placed? Or a good way to distinguish between generated blocks and player placed blocks?

[wary edge]

You could do block states.

[devout sandal]

would I have to add a custom state to every single block in the game?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[devout sandal]

heck, ok thanks

[prisma shard]

runCommandAsync does not exist on latest api anymore

use runCommand

and yes technicaly you can use await with anything

[warped kelp]

Alright thank you for clarifying

[prisma shard]

and put async in calllback (async => {
})

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native function [ItemStack::setLore] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (scripts/gacha.js:54)

How to fix ???

[lethal bramble]

It’s a privilege error

means something is probably changing the world in a beforeevent or smth

ah classic error

Put a system run around the setlore

[final ocean]

Oh thanks

[lethal bramble]

makes it run inthe nexts vailable time

[cursive fog]

Yo sorry for bothering ya again
What script component(if that what its called) that can reduce the items durability?

[lethal bramble]

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

[lethal bramble]

its the same identifier as the JSON component

[cursive fog]

I see

Thanks

[warped kelp]

Could anyone help?

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1420400725350940773

Nevermind, it's not fixed

[unique dragon]

I don't think this is the correct channel

[warped kelp]

I could use some aid :3

[prisma shard]

well he meant entity id not uuid so this is the correct channel xd

[warped kelp]

Nah, the person above him and below me deleted their message

Btw, are component group switching more laggy/resource using than scripts?

[round bone]

Depends on, but scripts are better usually.

[warped kelp]

Yeah, makes sense

[chilly fractal]

is it possible to make client sided entities?

much like roblox doors's glitched rush, ambush and screech

i am implementing something close to it

by client sided, i mean that they can only be seen by a player, they can only attack/interact with that player, and no one else.

not strictly ran on the client, cuz that's impossible

any help would be very appreciated. (ps. sorry for grammer and other stuff, i am kinda in a rush)

[wary edge]

No. Only per client rendering.

[chilly fractal]

hm

i guess i can try to work with that

but i was really hoping for a different answer

[chilly fractal]

got any samples of how i'd do that?

[wary edge]

Idk. Use setPropertyOverride per entoty.

[chilly fractal]

uh what?

[wary edge]

Ibxtoycat showed off the capabilitites a while back.

[distant tulip]

just make an entity with a property and client sync set to true
than use setPropertyOverrideForEntity

[chilly fractal]

right but how do i change the rendering?

[wary edge]

Render controllers.

[chilly fractal]

ah

[distant tulip]

render control, or animation

[chilly fractal]

what's the most performant?

[distant tulip]

i guess render controller

[chilly fractal]

hm, ok.

thank you both

have a great afternoon

[distant tulip]

you too

[drifting raven]

When Preview?

It is unlikely to be preview day my dudes

When do Previews usually happen?

[true isle]

This is mine lol

[woven loom]

[proper pumice]

is there a way to actively check if the player is punching a block?

[prisma shard]

mine in potrait

[safe stream]

Why is your keyboard so big?

[shy leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/big-stomp-big-shoe-stomp-stomp-big-shoe-lmfao-big-shoe-gif-1976985918792106433

same vibe

[rigid torrent]

Is there any better way to check when a block is touched by water that doesnt involves the scary ticking?

[cinder shadow]

Considering it would have to be ran on the block, no

[cinder shadow]

I think this is where you would want to just use existing components. "minecraft:liquid_detection"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/blockreference/examples/blockcomponents/minecraftblock_liquid_detection?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[safe stream]

is setCooldown for items v2? im using v1 stable and im getting errors from using it

[shy leaf]

i think its also in v1?

[pallid stag]

Why doesn't it work???

[wary edge]

Open a post.

And please.

[drifting raven]

Please, no screenshots or photos!

Screenshots are hard to read, and photos even more so. This is especially true if you are using bridge or another tree editor, as this format obscures the JSON format.

We can help you best if you copy and paste your code here, or send it directly as a file.

Sep 25, 2025, 12:02 AM

[safe stream]

you havent defined health

const health = player.getComponent("health")```
Put it before the `player.sendMessage`

[vast grove]

Aaaahhhh. Abusing TS.

  public async SendInternalPacketAsync(
    packet: InternalPacket
  ): Promise<{ Packet: InternalPacket; Entity?: Entity }> {
    if (this._requests.has(packet.RequestId))

  }

[pallid stag]

Ty

[warped kelp]

Can I use a scriptevent on a custom mob from a different addon as long as the scriptevent used exists?

[prisma shard]

your abusing the whole scripting by making the Subscribe property Pascal cased🙏

[granite badger]

https://github.com/g-plane/type-gymnastics?tab=readme-ov-file

[nova flame]

where do i ask about bedrock debugger

[distant tulip]

Here

Or a post

[nova flame]

@distant tulipty

[woven loom]

@distant tulip u should update the link of hacker's keyboard

also there is no 2.2.0 in the ver list

[distant tulip]

I will look into it

[full idol]

Any ideas about a 10MB limit on dynamic property write speed? Keeps coming up in BDS logs

[valid ice]

can you send the message?

[full idol]

This is what it said. I'm guessing I know what it means, but it's none of my addons, though they probably contribute. There's a few addons used, some of which are... badly coded at best by others

[woven loom]

What do u want now tho

[valid ice]

That's a console warn, so... probably inside one of your packs somewhere?

[shy leaf]

how on earth did you even

go 21.5MB

with dynamic property alone

[woven loom]

Using a wrapper

[distant tulip]

is that a warning or an error tho
21 mb were saved last minute

[woven loom]

Just a warn

[coral cypress]

I just got back into scripting after months and months. First thing I try is apply knockback but it's not working. Did they change my favorite thing to do? What's different now?

It said to use an XZ vector

So I tried

const dir = player.GetViewDirection();
player.applyKnockback([dir.x, dir.z], 3);

to test

but it didn't work either

I am so out of practice 😭

[valid ice]

XZ Vector is {x:number,z:number}

[coral cypress]

So I would do

[valid ice]

New format for apply KB is

applyKnockback({ x: x * hStrength, z: z * hStrength }, vStrength)
instead of applyKnockback(x, z, hStrength, vStrength)

[coral cypress]

([{x: dir.x, z:dir.z}], 3):

[valid ice]

No square braces

[coral cypress]

Hmm, that's weird

I'm not familiar with how that will change things

Is the change an improvement or is it worse?

😭

[valid ice]

If you translate it as above, there's no change

[coral cypress]

Thanks

[coral cypress]

OHH
wait

so normall I would do

(viewdir.x, viewdir.z, 2, 0)

but

that would js be

[valid ice]

In previous versions that is what it would be, yes

[coral cypress]

({viewdir.x * 2, viewdir.z * 2}, 0);

[valid ice]

Got changed a few updates back to the new format

[valid ice]

({x: viewdir.x * 2, z: viewdir.z * 2}, 0);

[coral cypress]

would this be the exact uhh

[valid ice]

Need the x & z object properties

[coral cypress]

oh yeah the x and z lol

Thanks!!!

Now I gotta uh

find something to make

smh

I'm making an RPG. Decided

New combat system and all

I'll probably stop abt 30% way thru

but

[valid ice]

Good luck 🫡

[coral cypress]

I can dream

[coral cypress]

Thanks!

HA

IM BACK IN THE GAME

now I js gotta remember how to do literally everything else

also, first time seeing vibrant visuals and I hate it

My black concrete was light grey

Also, I lied. It did not function

OHH

nvm I realize

no i dont

[coral cypress]

I used that

and it says it expects 4 arguments??

It should just expect the vector and vertical strength

[valid ice]

Well, that's the old version

What version of MC and script API are you using

[coral cypress]

Using 1.19.0 in my @minecraft/server manifest

checking my game version now

I js installed minecraft so I assumed it should be the newest version

Running 1.21.101

[valid ice]

Yeah 1.19.0 scripts still uses the old format

[coral cypress]

What's the current version?

Like what should I change it to?

[valid ice]

2.1.0

You can keep using the old version, nothing wrong with that

It's stable, so it'll never change

[coral cypress]

ofc

[valid ice]

Just won't get new features

[coral cypress]

I'll switch to 2.1 and see if that fixes things

[coral cypress]

So I could use the old applyKnockback on 1.19.0?

[valid ice]

ya

[coral cypress]

ohhh

alright

well im trying 2.1.0 :)

Thanks again

I'm a talkative and questioning person, so I'm sure you'll see me again lol

LOTS

[valid ice]

Knockback was changed in 2.0.0 stable version

https://stirante.com/script/diff.html#%40minecraft%2Fserver/1.19.0/2.0.0

Can use https://stirante.com/script/ to see script version features and compare versions

[coral cypress]

Thanks!

[coral cypress]

yeah its weird bc it's not letting me boost myself forward with my current script. The only thing it's doing is using the vertical strength

[valid ice]

[coral cypress]

yep

lol

[grave halo]

is there any way to detect when a player punches?

[valid ice]

Are you walking forward when you use the stick?

[coral cypress]

nvm got itt

[valid ice]

in preview, swing event

[coral cypress]

yeah but its still

yk

I got it to do smth when I removed the vel.x and vel.z

but its fixed to one direction

[valid ice]

Makes sense

[coral cypress]

yeah

and when I do

[valid ice]

Console warn the velocity to debug it then

[coral cypress]

vel.x * 3 it doesnt do anything

ima try viewdir

[grave halo]

in preview 😔

[coral cypress]

yeah that worked

ill try to get velocity working

oh it does work

its js rlly weak so i gotta beef it up

[coral cypress]

I DID IT

I'M GETTING INTO THE GROOVE FR

I'll work on optimizing the code later

[distant tulip]

@woven loom
it is working fine?

[coral cypress]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((e) => {
    const player = e.sender;
    const msg = e.message;
    system.run(() => {
    if (msg.startsWith("!dash")) {
        const slot = msg.slice(6);
        player.sendMessage(`${slot}`);
    }
    })
})

Am I going crazy?

[valid ice]

If you’re on stable chat send doesn’t exist

[coral cypress]

kill me now. What's the newest beta version? 😭

[valid ice]

2.2.0-beta, if I remember correctly

[coral cypress]

Thanks dude 😭

[valid ice]

Be warned the version changes very frequently (generally every major update) and stuff can change inside scripts without warning

Hence, beta

[coral cypress]

alright, thanks!

also

its

@minecraft/server-beta

or ```@minecraft/server@beta

[valid ice]

For imports?

Or what

[coral cypress]

for the uuhh

manifest

[valid ice]

Same as stable

[valid ice]

Just version is different

Ya

[coral cypress]

so this should be correct?

yep

awesome

and if not, ill trial and error like a real man fr

yep we good :)

Ughhh

Trying to make it an integer rn

Ooo idea

[coral cypress]

YES

[valid ice]

We do have slash command capabilities now, btw

[coral cypress]

We do?

[valid ice]

Ya

[coral cypress]

How? 😭

[valid ice]

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(data => {
  data.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(
        customCommand: CustomCommand,
        callback: (origin: CustomCommandOrigin, ...args: any[]) => CustomCommandResult | undefined,
    ):
})

Can set a lot of things

[coral cypress]

oh that's crazy

thanks!

Next goal!

Make this health bar actually work

It's js an actionbar with a bunch of |||| and some colors lol

[distant tulip]

now to the easy part, json ui

[coral cypress]

I HATE json ui

nor will I ever use it lol

[distant tulip]

been there

[coral cypress]

That's so real

You're basically my spirit animal atp

[distant tulip]

not sure about that lol
i use json ui now

[coral cypress]

Wow

I'd love to but

When I first tried it

It about made my brain explode

[distant tulip]

yeah it is hard to learn

[vast grove]

Eh. I made my own custom event handler and invoker so that's why.

[deep arrow]

Real

[full idol]

Are we sure this isn't a Bedrock warning/error? I don't know what pack it is, it'd be great to find out, but yeah, no apparent issues

[valid ice]

Ah, apparently it is a thing, yeah

[full idol]

Concerning... This feels really bad. No clue what Addon would be doing that

[cursive fog]

Guys i need help on ItemDurabilityComponent Class

So im trying to make a script that everytime i use an item the durability would go down

import { world, ItemStack, EntityInventoryComponent, EntityComponentTypes, ItemDurabilityComponent, DimensionLocation } from '@minecraft/server';

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source: player, itemstack }) => {
  switch (itemstack.typeId) {
    case 'vdg:coltwalker' 
  }
})

Uhh

What do i do next

[shut citrus]

What happens if I subscribe 10000 eventTypes/ entityTypes in afterDataDrivenTrigger?

[buoyant canopy]

is it still not possible to make the player open an entity gui?

[valid ice]

Wdym

[shut citrus]

I think it explains clearly

[valid ice]

Like subscribing to events inside of data driven trigger? Or having multiple subscriptions to data driven trigger?

[shut citrus]

it is options after subscribe call back

[valid ice]

Oh, the options

Shouldn’t matter too much I don’t think

[dusky flicker]

what is this?

[vast grove]

an IPC API for handling multiple addons communicating with an external application.

[dusky flicker]

you mean addons talking to a server?

[distant tulip]

addons talking to each other

[dusky flicker]

i was thinking in a protocol to do so these days, since im implementing quic

i've written an specification

[vast grove]

Addons talking to a central addon talking to an external server

[dusky flicker]

why are you doing this? i mean, theres the IPC of that guy i forgot the name and a lib of mine

it's a good project though

[vast grove]

All I wanted was something that doesn't care what environment I have to use. Heck I can even get it to talk through socket io, websockets, dp's. Anything

All it cares is converting a packet to a string and vice versa.

It doesn't care about the transport

[dusky flicker]

the idea of what i was thinking of was something similar

a way to simply establish connections and send raw bytes

in fact i was thinking in a way of using the less amount of scriptevent calls as possible

so i had to think on a way to send multiple requests to one end, and be able to make so for various ends per scriptevent call

thanks to quic

[shy leaf]

you could technically do only one call

[dusky flicker]

yeah, the idea is really this

one scriptevent call sends N requests to 1 Addon, and can do this to N addons

i just wanted to know what are the weaknesses of the ipc project to really have a reason to implement so

on mine is that it aint got this multiplexing, it sends 1 request per scriptevent, or per N scriptevent calls if the size is too big since it was made when script event did limit the size to 2kb

[shy leaf]

scriptevent command doesnt have the limit for some unknowable reason

also im checking the docs rn and theres no mention of limit in .sendScriptEvent() now

[cursive fog]

Guys i need help
How do i make my script damage the durability of my item when i use it

[shy leaf]

i wonder if the limit is actually gone?

[dusky flicker]

they removed

[cursive fog]

I alr made this a while
Idk what to do next

[dusky flicker]

it had, now you can send any amount of data you like

[shy leaf]

so it is actually unlimited now?

[dusky flicker]

yeah

[shy leaf]

lovely

[dusky flicker]

thats why im thinking on the project to start with 8kb but connectiond be able to handle more or less

i really just need to have a reason to implement

[shy leaf]

@slow walrus youre implementing this in 3.1.0 branch of MCBE-IPC, right?

[dusky flicker]

i still cant understand the code

holy hell

[slow walrus]

did the game update?

[shy leaf]

wait, youre waiting for an update?

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.System.html#sendscriptevent

i thought you were still working on it

[slow walrus]

it does

[shy leaf]

it does???

[slow walrus]

yes, the limit is being removed in .110

[shy leaf]

oh

[shy leaf]

oh so the limit is still there

just not mentioned in the doc

[slow walrus]

yeah it's never been mentioned

[slow walrus]

my code?

[shy leaf]

huh

i swear i remember seeing the doc mentioning the limit...

[dusky flicker]

weird, i could send about 65kb of chars

[slow walrus]

probably in the id?

[dusky flicker]

no

the message itself

imma test it again and show you later

im at cellphone right now

[slow walrus]

yeah you should test it again

anyway what about the code isn't understandable?

im interested if I need to make stuff more clear

[dusky flicker]

i dont understand how you send the data

[slow walrus]

like the format?

[dusky flicker]

the serialization and de serialization is comprehensive

[dusky flicker]

yeah

[slow walrus]

well it's binary data that gets turned into a utf16 string

so 2 bytes to one utf16 character

that's pretty much it

[dusky flicker]

no way

maybe its cause i've implemented it using arrays instead

just used the buffers and thats it

[slow walrus]

the id uses the format (0xHEX) where HEX is the binary data of the header in ofc hex codes

[dusky flicker]

oh thats why i didnt understand

[slow walrus]

yeah the id is very limited in the characters it supports so it can't use the same format as the data

[dusky flicker]

does the id have limitations? really?

[slow walrus]

yes

[dusky flicker]

@slow walrus

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

const text = "a".repeat(8192);

world.afterEvents.playerButtonInput.subscribe(e => {
  system.sendScriptEvent("test:data", text);
  console.warn("Sent", text.length, "chars");
})```

addon1

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

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(e => {
  console.warn(e.message);
  console.warn("Received: ", e.message.length, "chars");
});```

addon2

dont try to allocate 256mb of memory guys

[vast grove]

while(true)
   system.waitTicks(1)

That will eat your ram

[dusky flicker]

yeah

out of memory

[dusky flicker]

why in hell would some use this?

[vast grove]

I accidentally did it for some custom even handler I made. The world ran but it would get progressively worse.

[dusky flicker]

xd

didnt you await atleast?

[vast grove]

Oh yeah that was it. I just forgot the await

[dusky flicker]

8 mega tf

[rare plume]

bro what is the point of this

[vast grove]

You can go up to 2gb total though

[dusky flicker]

this shit might use shared memory

[slow walrus]

what mc version are you on?

[dusky flicker]

of so they limit using int

[dusky flicker]

1.21.101

[vast grove]

16 or 32 bit?

[dusky flicker]

C int, 32 bit

a signed one

[vast grove]

Oh yeah C# is the same. That ain't new to me

[slow walrus]

where's the first console warn of the second addon?

[dusky flicker]

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

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(e => {
console.warn("Received: ", e.message.length, "chars");
})

holy shit i tried to console log 8mb string

i forgot to save the change to 4kb

on the receiver one

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

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(e => {
  console.warn(e.message);
  console.warn("Received: ", e.message.length, "chars");
})```

[dusky flicker]

i really wonder what is the difficulty of adding an 'unsigned' in front of it

to double the amount possible

[slow walrus]

hugh I guess the limit got removed in .101 then

[dusky flicker]

and it still cannot receive null byte

sadly

[slow walrus]

looks like fragmenting will still be needed though, sending heaps of data at once causes lag spikes

[dusky flicker]

fragmentation will always be required in fact

[slow walrus]

bruh I'm dumb lmao

thought the job system broke

but it was just cause I was doing "a".repeat(200000) each time instead of caching it

yeah nevermind it doesn't really need fragmentation

nvm it does

[dusky flicker]

the main problem would be to transform from string to bytes

since strings are immutable, theyre cloned everytime

[cursive fog]

What does ev mean in script

[dusky flicker]

probably the engine uses some kind of caching and shared memory because i only started to face problems when i sent about 8mb

[coral cypress]

Wdym?

Like when people do

subscribe((ev) => {
xx
})

[cursive fog]

Ye

That

What does ev mean

[coral cypress]

Probably eval, I'm not really sure

But

"ev" could be anything

You could type "dog" and it work js as fine

[cursive fog]

Idk my friend never made it a variable or const

Ye he made my script because idk anything abt scripts

[open urchin]

it's short for event

it's more common for it to just be called e

[small river]

how can I get the rider's x and y head rotation and apply it in animations to my entity ?

[cursive fog]

I see

[cursive fog]

Query.target_x_rotation?

[dusky flicker]

ev is the name of the parameter, i personally use it like 'ev' because it stands for 'event'

(ARGUMENTS_GO_HERE) => {BODY_GO_HERE}

this is an anonymous function

function name_of_function(argument){
dothing()
}

something.subscrive(name_of_function)

this does the same as if it was using an anoymous function

[tranquil junco]

i'm learning javascript from being forced to use the script api 😭

[full idol]

What's the easiest way to test addons for BDS that need server-net? Do I just run a server locally and develop in the development directories?

[small river]

nah i want it in script not direclty like that

[slow walrus]

yep, can't enable server-net on client unfortunately

[full idol]

As in, do I just run the server locally and develop inside its directory, then use /reload?

[slow walrus]

yeah that should work

[full idol]

Also, any ideas on how to get the first tick a player is able to see in the world? I tried playerSpawn after event, but it triggers about 1-3 seconds before they can actually see on realms

[rare plume]

world initialize after event

[full idol]

Oh so that gets called after playerSpawn? that's so weird, ty

Ah

[shy leaf]

i dont think thats possible?

but maybe you could try to use server form to constantly check if the user is busy

just a random idea tho, cant guarantee

[full idol]

Alright, thank you!

[full idol]

Hmm what are your thoughts on pressureplate event where they spawn on the pressureplate? Would it likely still trigger before they can see? I'm not very familliar with world loading (https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.WorldAfterEvents.html#pressureplatepush)

[shy leaf]

the player actually spawns way before the player can play

hence why the playerSpawn event happens early

[full idol]

Hmm. Would their targetted block be null if they can't see?

I'm gonna have to go set up my PS5 or something to test

[shy leaf]

eh i doubt it

[full idol]

Maybe vibrant visuals delays the load time more

[rare plume]

I thinks it’s been changed to world load

But still that probably wouldn’t work

unless you could find a consistent way to use a delay or something

[full idol]

I actually found some really weird Bedrock quirk. If run in any timeout it breaks, but doing it immediately in a system run, it works just fine. Thanks!

Sorry for all the questions, I just saw on a server that you can change a player's render distance? I feel like at this point I've read through every major doc possible, but did I miss something to enable this?

Oh unless it's geyser?

[shy leaf]

whuh

idk if thats possible at all????

[valid ice]

Yeah that's not possible with scripts

Render distance is a server/world property, and a client thing as well

[coral cypress]

For the setCamera option, I'm confused as to the method. It's setCamera(cameraPreset:string, setOptions?: then lists a bunch of options)

If I wanted to do camera roeset then only update CameraSetFacingOptions would I js do

setCamera("minecraft:third_person", CameraSetFacingOptions: wtv)

woah nvm

I got it I think

[coral cypress]

system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers().forEach((player) => {
        const hand = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand");
        if (hand.getItem()?.typeId == "minecraft:stick") {
            const playLoc = player.location;
            const viewDir = player.getViewDirection();
            player.teleport({x: viewDir.x + 1, y: playLoc.y, z: viewDir.z + 1});
        }
    })
}, 0)

How would I change this to teleport me 1 block forward to whichever direction I'm facing?

I tried playLoc * viewDir + 1

I don't get how I could implement viewDir though. It's a rotation

And added + 1 to playLoc is js coords and can't be kept like

idek

And with the new updates since I've joined, is there a way to track movement inputs, like if ur holding A or moving ur joystick left?

without riding an entity

[verbal aurora]

player.teleport({
    x: playLoc.x + viewDir.x,
    y: playLoc.y,
    z: playLoc.z + viewDir.z
});```

[coral cypress]

oh add instead of multiply

thats simpler than I thought lol

wait then

How do you control how many blocks?

[verbal aurora]

You can also throw in * distance on the end and create a const if you want to change how much distance you move

[coral cypress]

ohhhh

[verbal aurora]

Was just getting to that lol

[coral cypress]

thanks so much

[coral cypress]

yeah oops

[verbal aurora]

No problem ha

If you want it to contain more data you can use base62 for encoding

[slow walrus]

that's worse

well ig it depends what the data is

if it's raw binary that just convert it directly to a utf8 string

not sure how the game handles control chars in dynamic properties but hopefully it doesn't do anything weird

[dusky flicker]

as long as its not a null byte, it interprets as normal char

else it interprets as termination char, and ends tje string at there

and actually js strings are utf16, not utf8

I'm really struggling to get the camera to fade to white:
player.camera.fade({fadeColor: {red: 255, green: 255, blue: 255}, fadeTime: {fadeInTime: 0.2, holdTime: 1, fadeOutTime: 3}}); // Error value must be 0-1.0
player.camera.fade({fadeColor: {red: 1, green: 1, blue: 1}, fadeTime: {fadeInTime: 0.2, holdTime: 1, fadeOutTime: 3}}); // Fades to black
player.camera.fade({fadeColor: {red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0}, fadeTime: {fadeInTime: 0.2, holdTime: 1, fadeOutTime: 3}}); // Also Fades to black
player.camera.fade({fadeColor: {red: 0, green: 1, blue: 0}, fadeTime: {fadeInTime: 0.2, holdTime: 1, fadeOutTime: 3}}); // ALSO Fades to black

I have a feeling it's to do with this, but I can't find opacity https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/camerasystem/cameracommandintroduction?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#:~:text=The target opacity of the fade is always fully opaque. If this is not specified%2C it will use 0 for each value%2C which causes a fade to black.

AH found the issue. For anyone else seeing this, Vibrant Visuals MUST be off to see camera fades

well yes, using @minecraft/server-net

its the module commonly used for http methods

Im talking about a local database stored in .sql files

[subtle cove]

well, what else is there than http methods tho...

websockets...

[restive light]

can you use the native file related js features in scripting api?

[subtle cove]

the api only uses js files afaik

and with limited modules

[restive light]

i just looked it up it only has limited access to node features

but using server net and http requests is slow asf

[subtle cove]

mhmm, 'tis what it is as of now

[restive light]

is there a limit to the amount of dynamic properties i can have?

[subtle cove]

somewhere around 32k bytes

[restive light]

thats the limit of data for a single property, i mean how many different dynamic properties can i have?

[subtle cove]

as much as u want ig

but itll affect the game

u might also wana utilize structureManager for better minecraft data stuff

[restive light]

you any good at geomatry?

I'm seeing something really weird when spawning my custom entity.

Image 1 is this code, where it spawns a little in the air, but centered on the block.

let toSpawn = ev.block.center();
let newTNT = ev.player.dimension.spawnEntity(block, toSpawn);

Image 2 is with a small adjustment to move it down a little bit, and it also shifts the X to +1. I've tried also correcting the X, but it snaps either side of the block.

let toSpawn = ev.block.center();
toSpawn.y -= 0.5;
let newTNT = ev.player.dimension.spawnEntity(block, toSpawn);

That's an interface, not an actual JS object

Wym by that?

Do i need the get dynamic property or no
I just need it to return when my property is false

Thats the code

[fallen cape]

do smth like

let USE_ITEM;

world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {
      USE_ITEM = world.getDynamicProperty('...')
})

or, it's even better to fetch the dynamic property inside the itemUse event itself (in your context)

Ohhh ok

not node, but quick

i can provide you the doc of quick, but we cannot use it

what you can do is use dynamicProperties as the storage system

but that'd be inefficient as hell

  hurt.removeTag(hurt0);
  hurt.addTag(hurt1);

  hurt.removeTag(hurt1);
  hurt.addTag(hurt2);

  hurt.addTag(hurt3);

  } else (hurt.hasTag(hurt3)) {

  hurt.removeTag(hurt3);
  hurt.addTag(hurt4); 

  }
)}; ```

[subtle cove]

are those tags declared, or do u mean them to be string?

[pallid stag]

Well, I thought that hasTag(tag) would check directly in the game if the entity has the described tag

[subtle cove]

if there's const tag = "something", then itll refer to the variable

u can use "hurt3" as well if ud like

[pallid stag]

I don't have

[subtle cove]

ok, then make em strings like

hurt.removeTag("hurt1");
hurt.addTag("hurt2");

[pallid stag]

Ok

Still doesn't work

[subtle cove]

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

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(event => {

  const hurt = event.hurtEntity;
  const hurtTag = hurt.getTags().find(tag => tag.startsWith("hurt"));
  if (!hurtTag) return;
  const hurtX = hurtTag[4]; // 5th char or index 4
  hurt.removeTag(hurtTag);
  hurt.addTag(`hurt${parseInt(hurtX) + 1}`);
  //other code to handle 4+...
}); 

@pallid stag there's still js syntax u gona have to learn btw

[pallid stag]

Bro

I already fixed it, it was a syntax error, plus I didn't put the "" in the tag

🤡

Anyway, thank you very much for helping.

[subtle cove]

np

[tranquil junco]

wait why

[full idol]

There's no source or location on the event, just cancel and impacted blocks

[tranquil junco]

set the impacted blocks to an empty list and subscribe to the respective afterevent

you might be able to grab the entity's location

[full idol]

I'm not worried enough to make a workaround when .location should just be a thing normally

[tranquil junco]

yeah

minecraft explosions originate at a specific coordinate that is definitely passed in somewhere

no idea why it isn't kept and passed into callbacks

[full idol]

Maybe I missed something but the docs have nothing

[restive light]

anybody here good at geomatry?

[full idol]

Slightly different question, I'm trying to lock the camera for like a 2D camera movement where it can only be up and down. setRotation seemingly doesn't work for players, and teleport is all glitchy because we can't maintain velocity. Ideas?

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    player.setRotation({x:player.getRotation().x, y: 0});  
  }
}, 1);

[prisma shard]

whats the question

[wary edge]

Use the camera command.

[full idol]

Oh wait really, I thought that was only visual? I would need the actual camera to be elsewhere but the player can only look at a vertical row of blocks

[wary edge]

Camera command + control scheme if that's what you want.

[prisma shard]

What is this????!!!

[full idol]

I tried disabling left right input, but then keeping the player's crosshair to only to vertical was the tough part. Teleporting worked but since they lose velocity it's too glitchy

The camera would be stationary elsewhere, so it's not just visuals, mostly the crosshair, kinda like terraria I guess

[wary edge]

Yeah. I would toy around with control scheme and the camera command then. In 1.21.120 there is a scripting equivalent for the control scheme command.

[full idol]

AH awesome, thanks, I'll give that a go and see. The camera command is probably where it's at, just gotta keep learning!

[snow knoll]

Any one have any ideas as to why the js blockDistance constant from this script is returning as undefined?

  const item = itemStack.typeId;

Is it possible to make the player unable to attack?

Even if he clicks on the screen to hit the entity he can't

Is it okay to remove console warns when done testing scripts?

[dusky flicker]

yeah

why to keep them?

Cuz idk

Unless if it's like, catch errors

unless youre using console.warn for specific cases like "this should not be undefined" or "this must be whatever type or the whole thing falls apart"

its ok to remove them

you can always add them back if you were to debug

    if(B.typeId.includes("_sword")){A.runCommand("tp @e[type=item,r=24] @s")};
});```

i figured it out using non-async fix the problem with my code

[coral cypress]

If I remember right, async has no delay

And does it the exact tick the code is ran

[deep quiver]

runCommandAsync got removed in the newer versions

Async simply means that the command can be awaited until its done. Also It put the commands in some sort of queue so you had a limit of 120 commands per tick or something like that

They removed it bcs most commands didn’t run async anyways

Or maybe none

[coral cypress]

oh alr

[coral cypress]

oh damn I was wrong lol

Thanks for the correction

[broken pawn]

Nice information

then i have to re-write all of that

[deep quiver]

Use an else if chain its better for perfomance

[broken pawn]

like "else if" right?

[subtle cove]

this is another way as well

const AE = world.afterEvents;
const equipmentRegex = /_(axe|hoe|pickaxe|shovel|sword)/;

AE.itemUse.subscribe(({ source: A, itemStack: B }) => {
    if (equipmentRegex.test(B.typeId)) {
        A.runCommand("tp @e[type=item,r=24] @s")
    }
});

[thorn flicker]

would be cool if there was an OnIgnite event for blocks.

[wary edge]

Wdyn?

You want to detect fire tick is all?

[thorn flicker]

detect if a block has been caught on fire

[safe stream]

thats a very interesting syntax

[broken pawn]

gotcha, i have to try this

[coral cypress]

You can probably shorted it by js adding or statements. Like
.includes("_axe") || .includes("_hoe") etc

cut it in half

[coral cypress]

oh that works too

loll

and its shorter

awesome

[broken pawn]

nice tho

[coral cypress]

or obviously an array like

array = [ "_axe", "_hoe", etc ]

then check if it has anything in that areay

[broken pawn]

i have done this tho, but in System.runInterval

but it kind of....

[coral cypress]

a few diff ways to minimize it

[coral cypress]

kind of?

Also, how long have you been scripting? I just got back into it an I'm SUPER rusty

[broken pawn]

if(C1.typeId.includes(":")||C2.typeId.includes(":"))

[broken pawn]

well, still a beginner tho

[coral cypress]

yeahh

[coral cypress]

ohh I see

[broken pawn]

yes, i wanted it works if i using a piece of thing but only 1, but ended up the code only detects the first C1

[coral cypress]

ah, I see

[coral cypress]

what project are u working on rn?

[broken pawn]

just a casual use

for my realms

Specific project: QoL

[coral cypress]

ohh I see

[coral cypress]

ofc

If you'd like, I'd love to work with you on it. I need something to do to keep me motivated 😭

ive hit my creative/motivation block for scripting

[broken pawn]

🗣️ 🔥

but actually, i don't working too much

i just open my laptop and think a lot

then write it
then....

re-write it again

🗣️ 🔥

[coral cypress]

yesyes

I do too

[coral cypress]

Yep

then never finish

I got trouble keeping consistent when I'm not writing for anyone but myself lol

[broken pawn]

yes, but it kinda fun and frustating at the same time

[coral cypress]

I'm also not very skilled or knowledgeable right now anyways

js tryna improve

[coral cypress]

yesyes

exactly

[broken pawn]

from @minecraft/server 1.19.0 to 2.1.0, there's some changes

like how runCommandAsync doesn't work somehow

[coral cypress]

yes lots

[broken pawn]

so i have to change it to runCommand

[coral cypress]

and applyKnockback (my favorite)

[broken pawn]

🗣️ 🔥 Apply 100%

it happened to RLCraft bedrock, which every mob that deals knockback is buffed

they got the same knockback range, but gladly they fixed it

that's why i'm still do scripting for my RLCraft experience

[onyx locust]

can someone tell why does beforeEvents is not working?

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((e) => {
    console.warn("startup")
});

no errors or whatsoever

[coral cypress]

yesss

[coral cypress]

yeah

I use it for things like uhh

can I dm you a quick vid

in a sec

[coral cypress]

I still have no idea what RLCraft is 😭

[coral cypress]

idrk how to explain it

like a diff and better teleport

and dashes ofc

[unique stag]

is there a way to detect TPS using scripts?

[coral cypress]

I'm sure there's a roundabout way. I couldn't tell you though 😭

[coral cypress]

wait i found one

[unique stag]

I thin we have to use like Date.now()

then do the calc?

[coral cypress]

i pinged u

[coral cypress]

let checkTime = Date.now();
let currentTicks = 0;
let TPS = 0;
system.runInterval(() => {
    currentTicks++;
    const currentTime = Date.now();
    if(currentTime - checkTime > 970){
        TPS = currentTicks;
        checkTime = currentTime;
        currentTicks = 0;
    }
},1);

Try

It's in a forum post

[unique stag]

ooo thanks :)

[coral cypress]

yess. what r u looking for tps for?

[unique stag]

I am running a lot of runIntervals

so trying to shotern those down, and also use less of them

just optimizing stuff

got it working

[coral cypress]

ohhh

[coral cypress]

ofc

[coral cypress]

awesomeee

[full idol]

Do we know what beta version is releasing tomorrow? I'm using 2.2.0-beta right now

[coral cypress]

A beta is releasing tomorrow? 😭

What will be added?

[wary edge]

Then 2.3.0

[full idol]

Sorry, better question, is it confirmed that it's actually updating, like, 2.3.0 would be next, but idk if drops actually always come with a new version

[distant tulip]

versioning latest beta module with "beta" is this update or still in preview?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[full idol]

AH thanks yeah perfect

[shy leaf]

preview iirc

[lethal cloak]

Guys, I'm trying to create a script code that is always saved even if players leave the world or server or the server restarts as well, how do I do this?

[shy leaf]

what are you saving?

[lethal cloak]

stetando saves tags, and the UI shows statistics, for example, I have tga1, the UI appears for the player when using an item and serves the player with tag2

[shy leaf]

uhhhhhh

[lethal cloak]

I've been trying to do this for a long time, it would be a clan code

like I wrote !clan after 3 seconds I opened a UI, depending on the tag I opened a specific UI, like there are 3 clan leader members: (clan name) au I'm trying to save them on the server

can you help me?

???

[shy leaf]

use dynamic properties

[lethal cloak]

ok, I'll try

[tranquil junco]

should i truncate the numbers to save space

this is stored in a dynamic property as a string

[sudden verge]

you could probably get away with trimming it a little, as long as you dont see a noticeable difference it should be fine

[tranquil junco]

yeah i don't think i need 17 significant figures for camera position 😭

trimming it to 7 should be fine considering that bedrock edition only stores positions to about this precision anyways

[broken pawn]

looks like it works with this code

thank you sir

[magic peak]

does anyone need help with script?

[safe stream]

if you want to help, just help

[magic peak]

huh

if anyone need to learn javascript you watch https://youtu.be/0Kbd3ZH50xU?si=MP4RDNtk0gEWnJwR

[rare plume]

what is this bro

[safe stream]

..

[floral timber]

man! you gotta learn to write properly, its darn annoying.

[safe stream]

what even is pageX and pageY

[shy leaf]

whats up with the

large texts

also what the devil is that video

[wicked girder]

do entities have a unique id that we can get? or should I make a system with dynamic properties?

[distant tulip]

entity.id

[wicked girder]

is that unique? I searched the chat and its mixed on if its same as type id or not

ima just check

[safe stream]

In general yeah

[distant tulip]

it is, some guys reported that it change some times, but i have never had that

[deep quiver]

it only changes when you change world. I heard somewhere they also change if you switch server

[distant tulip]

That kinda obvious, the entity is not the same anymore, i am talking about same world

[deep quiver]

same world if you change server

let me test it real quick, it doesn't make sense in my head

it maybe also is just the player id

[safe stream]

so far I have yet to find an issue with it but I do remember seeing people claiming that the id changes

Maybe it was a bug or that it changes with worlds (for players)

[cinder shadow]

I can't remember how I fixed it before or if I even fixed it, but is there a solution to this?

I think last time I ran into it I said screw it and just multipled all my base values by 10 and rescaled everything

[rare plume]

use the toFixed method

or round

so if you just want 2.4 do

num.toFixed(2)

[cinder shadow]

didn't know about this. thanks!

[rare plume]

yeah it’s extremely useful

[distant tulip]

you just lost 5 levels, you are back to Level 5 Scriptoholic

[meager pulsar]

import * as server from "@minecraft/server"

import * as v3 from "./v3.js"

import * as f from "./functions.js"


const world = server.world
const system = server.system

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((init)=>{
    let resetWorldCommand= new server.CustomCommand  
    resetWorldCommand = {
        description: `Reset the map`,
        permissionLevel: 0,
        cheatsRequired: true,
        name: `rareloot_mm:reset_world`
    }

    init.CustomCommandRegistry.registerCommand(resetWorldCommand)
})```

i'm trying to reguster a custom command, but it isnt working

is this line in specific what's giving me problems

let resetWorldCommand= new server.CustomCommand```

any idea what i am doing wronf?

[full idol]

Does anyone know the 2.3.0-beta patch notes?

I'm not versed in javascript, I'm versed in minecraft scripting

[rare plume]

you need to know js for mc

[cinder shadow]

I only know what I need to know at the time I need to know it

[distant tulip]

fair enough

[rare plume]

do you know all of the array methods n shit?

[cinder shadow]

like .find, .filter and .some?

found out about all of those like 5 or 6 months ago when chatGPT randomly used them and my mind exploded

[full idol]

Thanks!

Random issue popped up on BDS after update, damaging any entity as the player doesn't work. It's probably one of the addons ofc, but they aren't all mine. There's about 15, any ideas what could be breaking it? The entityHitEntity event fires but nothing happens visually, not even the sound queue for hitting someone who can't take damage

[simple zodiac]

fyi, this happens when doing math with floating points (0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3 for example).
Almost every language does that.

https://0.30000000000000004.com/

[full idol]

Punching any mob crashes the server with this error

[simple zodiac]

This also happens in low level languages. However, you have the option to change the type of the variable to something that might handle it

The problem exists in the first place cuz we have a hard time representing fractions in binary

[rare plume]

was scripting touched in todays minecraft update?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[rare plume]

what did they change

[wary edge]

Read the changelogs.

[rare plume]

send a link to it

[wary edge]

#1067535608660107284 message

[rare plume]

looks like nothing of note was changed just features moved out of beta

[sharp elbow]

I also believe this happens when returning from some API calls because JavaScript and Minecraft hold two different precisions of floats. For example, reading the value of a movement attribute (it is stored as 0.1 on the player, but it might return some 0.100000000002)

In any case, toFixed works, but you can also try using Math.fround to find the nearest 32-bit precision float of a number. That should catch some of those cases

[full idol]

The fix was... nothing. Restarted like 5 times, then it just didn't crash anymore. Bedrock... yep

[dusky flicker]

store the bytes of the number instead

each float will be about 4 bytes only

[restive light]

is it possible to cancel death messages?

[tranquil junco]

actually insane idea

[dusky flicker]

you can do so using DataView

and converting the byte array to a string

[tranquil junco]

wait does JavaScript provide a way to serialise objects into bytes

[dusky flicker]

not directly

its got DataView and typed arrays

[tranquil junco]

so no python pickle ahh thing

[dusky flicker]

so yeah you can abstract it

[dusky flicker]

?

[tranquil junco]

pickle is python's module for serialising objects

[dusky flicker]

the only problem are null bytes which are 0 and treated as end of string

[tranquil junco]

oh I shouldn't have those

[dusky flicker]

but you can avoid so by using something like Base32767

[tranquil junco]

wait even in floats???

[dusky flicker]

floats are more bytes

so yeah

you can

you can save any type of data you want

im really thinking in writing something for this, to avoid the usage of json on dynamic properties

[deep arrow]

But but i dont wanna relearn JavaScript

:(

[magic peak]

please support this is my youtube channel

[shy leaf]

whats up with the big text

[magic peak]

my text is defaulted to this because im on andriod

[shy leaf]

no it isnt

[magic peak]

it is

[shy leaf]

it isnt

[magic peak]

not all andriods are the same

[shy leaf]

idk what android you even have but ok

[magic peak]

please support my youtube channel

[shy leaf]

that isnt even your channel

[magic peak]

why do you say this?

[pale terrace]

there is a Potion.resolve in the new update, what is that? can we create custom potion effects or its for get a vanilla potion?

[rare plume]

From the looks of it, you can create custom potions but just with existing vanilla effects, still no support for custom effects.

[pale terrace]

oh, alright, thx

[floral timber]

very defaulted...

[floral timber]

hey guys, was entity scale component value always read only?

iirc, we could set it back in the days.

[shy leaf]

iirc it became read only at some point

[floral timber]

[shy leaf]

i forgir tho

[floral timber]

what does it even set? why does the description say that lol?

sets the entity's visual size.

[shy leaf]

idk either, its just there

and they prolly forgot about it

[floral timber]

makes sense

[vast grove]

In any event is is really obnoxious and I'd ask staff to discourage this behavior

now we can make rpg system?

[magic peak]

do you want help?

[dusky flicker]

bros trolling, only answer i can think of for this

[full idol]

After changing my manifest to 2.3.0-beta, it just doesn't update in Minecraft? It's in the development folder and I normally have no issues. Restarted Minecraft and nothing, it's absolutely the right addon. This is starting to get much more common, ideas?

If I remove the pack from my development folder then it notices and hits an error, put it pack, same 2.2.0 error. Notepad confirms it's not VS Code

Changed the UUID and pack name, shows in game, still thinks I'm requesting 2.2.0-beta

I can even update this label right above, and it shows
