Script API General

[fresh comet]

That's read only

[thorn flicker]

there's resolve.

[fresh comet]

Oh right

[thorn flicker]

i dont think you can directly modify the potion's level but you can replace it with a new one with this.

[devout sandal]

Okay, what about tipped arrows..? do those use the potion component?

[thorn flicker]

I dont think we can yet

you can use the replaceItem command instead

[noble ridge]

Thank you!

[devout sandal]

im getting potion component undefined..? im remaking the loot vaults to be reusable so its in the onPlayerInteract hook of the blocks custom component registry.

[thorn flicker]

you dont get the potion component for this, you import Potions and use the resolve method.

[devout sandal]

does the ominous_bottle even use the potion effect system..?

[thorn flicker]

try and see, Im just assuming so.

[devout sandal]

it doesnt...

[thorn flicker]

🤷‍♂️

my bad

I guess you would need to use commands

[devout sandal]

Can i not use the LootItem function? Im relatively new to scripting so idk how to do some suff

[devout sandal]

^^^ meant to reply to you.

[thorn flicker]

oh yeah you can

good idea

create a loot table, then use loot table manager to get the itemstack from it

[devout sandal]

I am using the vanilla trial vault loot tables and they are using a loot table manager but dispensing enchantless items.

[thorn flicker]

const ltm = world.getLootTableManager()
const bottleLoot = ltm.getLootTable('your_loot') // if having it in subfolder just do "subfolder/your_loot"
const bottle = ltm.generateLootFromTable(bottleLoot)[0] // assuming it would just be 1 item, just get the first index

inv.setItem(slot, bottle)

[thorn flicker]

just create your own

[thorn flicker]

and use the loot table set_ominous_bottle function inside the loot table file to set the level

[devout sandal]

I’ll try this, using generate loot from table generates an array of item stacks, I’m trying to either modify those item stacks before I “dispense” them, or modify the item entity right after it is dispensed.

[devout sandal]

The vanilla loot table has these functions already though.. so am I using the generatelootfromtable wrong? I’m just calling it on the vanilla table, then using a for loop to summonItem(itemstack.typeId, itemstack.amount)

[thorn flicker]

I would just personally make my own loot table

[devout sandal]

Ok, I’ll try that when I get home from work, thanks.

[devout sandal]

Do you think I’m losing some of the data of the itemStack[] in the way I’m using it maybe? I can send you a snippet of my code if that helps. (Thanks for your helpXD)

[thorn flicker]

sure, share it

[devout sandal]

Ok, hold up.. I think I might have figured it out… I’ll try it when I get home in a few hrs and update youXD thanks again for your help

I’m iterating through the itemstack array, and creating a NEW itemstack with that itemstack iterations typeid and amount, and then dispensing THAT. I should just be dispensing the original iteration itemstack.. right..?

[thorn flicker]

yeah you are just making the code more complicated

the itemstack is already provided

plus the new itemstack you are creating wont magically get its data

i see why its not working now

[devout sandal]

So that’s gotta be the problemXD I FEEL SO STUPID!! Hahaha, ok well.. tysm for the help.

[thorn flicker]

sometimes you gotta talk it through to figure out shit, no problem

[granite cape]

well well well

[stray spoke]

How do I place block in specific coords, tried getBlock to setType but errors if undefined

[icy eagle]

idk

[stray spoke]

Tf you mean idk

[prisma shard]

const dimension = world.getDimension("overworld");
const placeLocation = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 };

if (dimension.isChunkLoaded(placeLocation) {
     dimension.getBlock(placeLocation).setType("stone");
}

should be easy enough
What error exactly? Ensure if the world is loaded, And if the chunk is loaded, where you are getting the block.

There's also setBlockType() too.

[stray spoke]

Did something like that but on entity.dimension, sometimes the getBlock returns undefined if block in that position didn't exist

[stray spoke]

Didn't notice that, thanks

[prisma shard]

Oh. Check if the location is valid. Is that a void block? Unless your luck would be checking if the chunk is loaded, if you are trying to access a block far from player.

[stray spoke]

maybe I can't use getBlock if its air

[stray spoke]

Ye it's void

[prisma shard]

You can.

[prisma shard]

oh. then how do you expect to place blocks there-

[stray spoke]

Oh alright, thanks again

[devout sandal]

this was the fix btw, XD cant believe I spent 6 hours trying to fix that.. it was 5 lines of code...

[midnight ridge]

can we get the type id of the entity inside the monster spawner block?

[weary merlin]

No not currently

It uses meta data which we can’t access you with scripting

[thorn ocean]

Alright, I need some clarification: I'm trying to optimize my script so the game can run better. When would be a good time to use runJob?

[open urchin]

Whenever you're doing a large amount of things at once that don't have to be done in a single tick such as filling in a large area

I have a script that resolves every block permutation in the game at once which causes the world to freeze for a few seconds as it's not going onto the next tick until the script is finished, if I used runJob I would be able to split the permutations being resolved between multiple ticks

[thorn ocean]

Alright then, where would I use the yield keyword? I have seen it in other script files using runJob, but I don't know where the right place to put it is.

[open urchin]

for runJob you yield every time you want to give minecraft the opportunity to move to the next tick

system.runJob(myJob);

function* myJob() {
  doSomethingThatMightTakeAges();

  yield; // If the previous thing took a long time, the game will move to the next tick here. If there is still time left in the tick, the job will continue running in the same tick

  doSomethingElseThatMightTakeAges();

  yield;
 
  console.log("job finished");
}

most of the optimisation in scripting comes from reducing the number of API calls so that things take less time rather than using jobs to split something that takes a long time into smaller portions

[thorn ocean]

Thank you! That honestly makes sense. I assume reducing the number of system.runIntervals that are lengthy should help right?

[open urchin]

yes, with intervals I often see people getting all players in the world every tick which is unnecessarily slowing things down
in that case you should have a players variable outside of the interval and update it whenever a player joins or leaves the world

[thorn ocean]

That can work? I'm still learning about what you can do in Javascript, but I wasn't sure if values outside of functions, system calls, and API events would even save data.

[open urchin]

If you have variables in the root of the file the value will last until you leave or reload the world

[thorn ocean]

That's really great to know! But doesn't that also mean that having too many variables with large data will lag the game then?

[open urchin]

If it's a case where you need the players every tick then you'll have the same amount of data except the game won't have to create a new array of Player instances every tick

but if the interval stops at some point and the array of players is no longer needed, it would definitely be a good idea to remove the value e.g. set it to undefined

[thorn ocean]

That makes sense. Thank you!

[chrome gyro]

Anyone got any theories as to why my projectile has an undefined owner??

       const projs = world.getDimension(dimension).getEntities({ location: loc, maxDistance: 64, families: ["projectile"] })
        if (!projs) return;
            projs.forEach(proj => {
                if (proj.typeId == "pro") {
                    const owner = (proj.getComponent("projectile")).owner
                    console.error(owner)```

Projectile is a custom one that doesn't have a runtime identifier in it, but I dont' think that would affect it.

[snow knoll]

If you've spawned it with scripts too then it likely hasnt had its owner defined

[chrome gyro]

Forgot to add that, sorry. It's spawned through behavior.ranged_attack

Maybe there's a subvalue for keep owner? I'll check, I doubt it tho.

Yeah, nothing.

[snow knoll]

Are ranged attack behaviour entities usually unaffected by their weapons?

[chrome gyro]

Hmmm I think it depends on the projectile. You can define that the player not be affected or is affected in the components iirc.

So by definition it should store the owner... I have no idea what I'm missing tho.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_projectile?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

Seems that's experimental, and is more like a filter than what I remembered.

Ugh, maybe I'll just reluctantly tag the owner as it leaves the "barrel". I feel like I'm going to lose a tick somewhere for some reason with that method though.

[jade grail]

i just had the same problem

i made a workaround tho

[chrome gyro]

Same, super clunky though. Having timing issues with it. handed off my entity spawn tag with a timer inside to a runinterval 😭

What was your work around?

[jade grail]

mine only works if its spawned with script api im prety sure

when i shoot projectile i set a owner dynamicproperty with the id of the owner

and then when i want to retrieve the owner it repeats through all entities in the world for that id

[chrome gyro]

I think that would work with projectiles from ranged attacks too.

I basically did the same, but with tags... I forgot why I did tags tbh.

[chrome gyro]

Do you have something you could test this on yours with? I'm curious if this is a Mojang issue.

[jade grail]

Well i was also confused with the projectile owner

[chrome gyro]

Yeah, it should be working fine.

[chrome gyro]

Hey quick question if you or anyone knows. Do DynamicProperties that are stored related to an entity go away when the entity dies? It seems like they do, but I have like 90 dynprops going rn hard to tell.

[jade grail]

yes they do

but u can check them before entity remove

[chrome gyro]

Oh wait there's why I used tags, I didn't want one more action that had to grab the closest entity so I did it with commands.

[jade grail]

which i use for kill detectioon

[chrome gyro]

Ok awesome, thank you!

[jade grail]

my addon isnt very optimised

but i think i should optimise it after it atually works...

[chrome gyro]

I've gotten stuck so many times doing that, I usually forget what my code means after I'm finished with a section so for me I have to do it up front 😢

[uneven maple]

Does anyone know how to change the value of a variable in the player's file using playanimation or any other method that isn't a property via the script?

[chrome gyro]

You can't carry values to animations through script, but my work around is to execute a command in the script to do that.

[uneven maple]

like this?

[chrome gyro]

You can add variables in the command: "playanimation". It throws a code in my experience though. But you can hide that and it works:

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/playanimation

[uneven maple]

I do this through playanimation and it works perfectly, but only for attachables, not for the player.

ops

[chrome gyro]

Some variables can't be changed that way.

I'm not sure then, maybe a better question for: #1070606638525980753 or #1067869288859447416

[jade grail]

have u tried entity properties?

turn the sync on so it also goes to the resource side

the property should be carry over and this can be changed using commands

event entity

[uneven maple]

I don't want to use Properts, it has a very low limit, I need at least 20

[jade grail]

can u not js have very explicit properties

like if u made all the properties just numbers

theres a tons of combinations

[uneven maple]

What I'm doing is complicated to explain via chat, but I need individual values ​​for each property, and there are more than 20 properties, so I have to do it this way.

[jade grail]

have u tried messing around with variables in the rp entity ?

[uneven maple]

I managed to solve it, thank you for your help.

[jade grail]

nice

[chrome gyro]

How are you spawning projectile from the api? I went to the end of my method and it just isn't working, need to know who the owner is to carry variables through properties 😭 . 6 hrs wasted.

[jade grail]

Holy sorry u replied at 6am

Dimension spawn entity

Then entity.getComponent('projectile').shoot(the settings here)

[subtle cove]

perhaps ```js
entity.getComponent("projectile").owner = player

[jade grail]

for some reason thats weird

[subtle cove]

try it

[jade grail]

i have..

[subtle cove]

and...

[jade grail]

it dont work

when it should

we've solved the issues with around about method

[subtle cove]

bugged it is then

i just tested, it works... in beta

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

system.runInterval(() => {
    const ovw = world.getDimension("overworld");
    const player = world.getPlayers()[0];
    if (!player) return;
    const arrow = ovw.spawnEntity("minecraft:arrow", {
        ...player.location,
        y: player.location.y + 5,
    });
    arrow.getComponent("projectile").owner = player;// may damage the player when not assigned
}, 40);

world.afterEvents.projectileHitBlock.subscribe((ev) => {
    const proj = ev.projectile.getComponent("projectile");
    world.sendMessage(proj.owner.name + ` owns the projectile`);
});

[snow knoll]

Im pretty sure it works in stable

[thorn flicker]

it does

}

[silver agate]

Don’t directly copy this code, as it will change a lot of things on your addon

[silver agate]

Just add that on yours

[clever smelt]

okeh after doin the manifest stuff whaddo i do next

[silver agate]

Need one more thing on manifest. Add that at modules[]:

{
            "type": "script",
            "language": "javascript",
            "uuid": "3aff7ca8-a207-45db-9625-63e7eb840569",
            "version": [
                2,
                0,
                0
            ],
            "entry": "scripts/main.js"
        }```

[clever smelt]

oh so basically add scripting capabilties

ok

nexr

[silver agate]

Yes, now you create a folder called “scripts”

[clever smelt]

yes yes, ive made it in bridge

[silver agate]

After that you create a file called “main.js”

[clever smelt]

ye its there

[silver agate]

And paste that on it:

import { world, server } from “@minecraft/server”;

system.runInterval(() => {
   for ( const player of world.getAllPlayers() ) {
   if ( player.isSneaking && !player.hasTag(“sneaking”) ) player.addTag(“sneaking”)
  else if ( !player.isSneaking && player.hasTag(“sneaking”) ) player.removeTag(“sneaking”);
  else continue;
  }
}, 1);

[silver agate]

If you selected a template, delete everything

[silver agate]

That’s already complete

Also, it’s based on tags, so if player is sneaking, it adds the tag “sneaking”. If not, it removes the tag. So you won’t need further scripts

And can do the logic via commands

[clever smelt]

ok 💔

[clever smelt]

yippe

[silver agate]

Just the content on file

[clever smelt]

so i can now run functions w that tag yes?

[silver agate]

Not the files & folders

[silver agate]

Yep

[clever smelt]

THANK

YOU

[silver agate]

No problem

[clever smelt]

i shall remember this act of kindness

[silver agate]

Appreciate

[chrome gyro]

Hmm, owner isn’t automatically assigned upon spawning? Going to try this in a bit.

[chrome gyro]

Ooh ok, thank you! 😆 np, that was 10pm my time, must be in very different places.

[jade grail]

how can i fix the issue of main hand being empty?

im using script api to detect the main items lore

[wary edge]

If its undefined, skip it.

[jade grail]

i tried that it still throws an error

[wary edge]

Open a post with your code and content log then.

[jade grail]

nvm getequipment slots never return undefined as even air isnt undefined

ive been using getequpmentslot instead of get equipment

[distant tulip]

Does lore return undefined or empty array?

[thorn flicker]

empty array

[broken pawn]

i'll go with

import{EntityEquippableComponent as eec,  EquipmentSlot as es}from"@minecraft/server"

let V1 = player.getComponent(eec.componentId).getEquipment(es.Mainhand)

if(V1)return

[jade grail]

mb forgot to mention i solved the issue

[broken pawn]

🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[jade grail]

actually i did

sorry not mking it clear

[broken pawn]

i don't like using

import * as mc

tbh

[jade grail]

i use it so i dont need to import anything in the future

but its prob not the best idea

[broken pawn]

understandable, but if you create a big project, it could affect your file size

🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[jade grail]

is apply knockback better than impulse

[broken pawn]

what's the purpose you wanted?

smooth movement better with impulsr

like how transition sine in and out

set it to verbose may be easier for diagnose

but somehow you'll see some vanilla mob has error due ro their attack inverval never declared

[subtle cove]

it's assiganble anytime, actually

[fallow minnow]

how can i use before player place and before interact with block to place a block?

currently im canceling block interactions

but that cancels block places

i need to cancel block interactions but let them place still

[chrome gyro]

Sorry, I mean, is it automatically assigned upon firing?

(From a behavior ranged attack)

[subtle cove]

who's firing, player or entity?

i havent tested the projectile owned by a non-player tho

[chrome gyro]

entity

[nova flame]

"minecraft:cooldown": {
                "category": "cosmos:asteroid_annihilator",
                "duration": 0.5
            }```
 how do i like activate the cooldown using scripts

[snow knoll]

player.startItemCooldown

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

[stray spoke]

Oh so that's how it's used, so that's why It didn't work on interaction (without js)

[snow knoll]

Lol

Its so helpful too, since you can give the item cooldown any length of time you want, independent of how long it would be with the item json

[nova flame]

got it

thanis

[snow knoll]

No problem

[stray spoke]

Gotta use that now

Much useful than making manual cooldown that's buggy

[snow knoll]

Honestly, too true

And paired with itemStartUse and itemStopUse you can then set a cooldown after you release the interact button and even make the cooldown a dynamic length of time based off how long you held on the item

[jagged gazelle]

and the category can be ANYTHING

Even if it doesn't exist on any item...

[stray spoke]

no way, that's cool, I thought its based off only on json

[stray spoke]

Very nice, I thought it needed it, coz the api has argument to put a category id

[snow knoll]

I don't have a clue on what that could be used for though
Any ideas?

[jagged gazelle]

just a simple timer

[dusky flicker]

where is minecraft path located at windows?

its been a while i use windows for coding addons

so i forgot

i remember it used to be on app data

[stray spoke]

Legends lang nakakaalam

[dusky flicker]

?

[stray spoke]

Try localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang

[dusky flicker]

thank you, imma try it

hell yeah

i think i found it

[stray spoke]

Nicee

Yeah in modern windows it has id

[dusky flicker]

thanks for the help my guy

[broken pawn]

what's the difference between

function Test(){}
and
function* Test2(){}

[dusky flicker]

Test2 is returns a generator

[stray spoke]

What

[dusky flicker]

you can use it to yield values

[stray spoke]

Oh

[dusky flicker]

and then use them in a loop

[broken pawn]

i mean do it makes difference for low-end performance?

[dusky flicker]

function* EvenNumbers(){
let i = 0;
while(true) if(i % 2) yield i;
}

for(const n of EvenNumbers()) console.log(n); //1,3,5,7,9,11, etc

[dusky flicker]

its slightly slower compared to raw loops

[stray spoke]

@wild hazel your enemy @broken pawn ||(sorry for ping)||

[dusky flicker]

even though more flexible

because its a state machine

internally this kind of thing is implemented with an state machine

[broken pawn]

understandable

[dusky flicker]

so it executes a function, returns the actual state, you use it

[broken pawn]

then i'll stick with the first one

[broken pawn]

🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[dusky flicker]

internally isnt much different than simply

const obj = { generate(){return {completed: false, value: 5}}}

while(!obj.generate().completed) {
dothing();
}

but with more logic inside the obj

[broken pawn]

👍 🗣️ 🔥

[dusky flicker]

it could be better for performance if you're dealing with collections

such as array

this generator can have methods https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Generator

if it was already implemented on quickjs for sure

[broken pawn]

all i can say is:

there's 12 function running at runInterval (10 Tick)
and all of them uses "for(Let A of world.getAllPlayers())"

[dusky flicker]

but there are methods like filter, every, take, map, etc, theyre(i expect) lazy

so you can do something like

const generator = generator_func().map(f1).map(f2).filter(f3).map(f4).take(12);

and when looping it will execute a single loop

internally arrays can do the same but for each map, filter, and etc, its a loop by itself

with tends to be O(M*N)

[stray spoke]

function* Test2() {
  yield 1;
  yield 2;
  yield 3;
}

const gen = Test2();

console.log(gen.next()); // { value: 1, done: false }

[dusky flicker]

with these generators its just O(N)

[broken pawn]

sounds like compressing everything into a single pack

[dusky flicker]

its, it probably just stores a function to map and filter things

and when iterating use it

[dusky flicker]

M = amount of functions that mutate the array, or the collection,
N = amount of data on the collection

[dusky flicker]

pretty useful by the way

[stray spoke]

It's like a lazy function

[stray spoke]

Before async/await, they use this I think

[dusky flicker]

as far as i know, they did

async functions are state machines as well

so its comprehensible it to be implemented like it internally

Can having multiple of the same event cause any performance issues

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.4.0/interfaces/TitleDisplayOptions.html

It requires the mandatory properties.

[wary edge]

Not from what I can tell.

[stray spoke]

Ohh, thank you

[stray spoke]

Is there an event about tick changes

[wary edge]

Tick changes?

[stray spoke]

Like an event that activates repeatedly

Because system.runInterval crashes on mine when it's running too long

Or if there are workarounds

[wary edge]

Never had this issue. What are you executing?

[stray spoke]

Global system.runInterval every 5 ticks

Just updates the nametags

do i HAVE to have a discord bot to link mc account to discord

[round bone]

What do you mean by linking?

Applications connections, your own system that pairs account?

It really depends on what you need

[fallow minnow]

like account pairing i guess

just link discord account to mc xuid

i was thinking

[round bone]

For my server network, I am using an external backend to pair both services

[fallow minnow]

yeah

like

[round bone]

Are you using NoSQL or SQL database?

[fallow minnow]

well idk

im currently using supabase

will most likely switch to sql in the future

[round bone]

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS discord_connections (
    userId VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    xuid   VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE
)

And then just check if any entry (XUID/Discord's user ID) already exists in a database

[fallow minnow]

ahh yeah

so wait

i would need to verify on discord though

i dont want people linking other players discord accounts

[round bone]

You also probably have to implement some code system, like you'll generate a code for 5-10 mins and user in Minecraft will have to type it in

[round bone]

Yup, I just wanted to mention that

[fallow minnow]

yeah i was thinking about that tbh

so in minecraft they do /link

[round bone]

This is the most popular method AFAIK, even The Hive uses this

[fallow minnow]

generates a code for their xuid in supabase

but then i do need a bot

to detect stuff in discord

[round bone]

This bot does not have to implement a lot of things, just simple connections via HTTP requests

[fallow minnow]

yeah true

itll be for 1 singular slash command

and other stuff

[round bone]

Install discord.js to simplify your process and it shouldn't take longer than 30-60 minutes tbh

[fallow minnow]

i just dont wanna host it on the same vps

so i might just buy anothe rone

unless u can host them for free somewhere

[round bone]

Use Docker containers to make deployment easier

I host sometimes 2-3 containers on a single VPS and it runs smoothly

[fallow minnow]

im looking at Railway

its free supposedly

and looks super simple

[round bone]

Railway is pretty nice

I use OVHcloud most of the time, I don't really care about noisy neighbour problem tbh

[fallow minnow]

yupppppp im using ovhcloud

its crazy how cheap it is

[round bone]

They have a profit because of enterprise plans

[fallow minnow]

are u using vps 2026?

[round bone]

Regular customers are very few percent of their yearly revenue

[round bone]

I just rely on some VPS that cost 5$ monthly

😅

[fallow minnow]

yeah that one

vps-1

$4.90 a month

im surprised by it

[round bone]

You can't even buy a burger in McDonalds for that

😂

[fallow minnow]

vps-2 can handle 25 players with 19-20 tps dips

on a factions

7000 chunks loaded

and its freaking $7 a month

a realm would explode

they would go offline again if i tried that

[round bone]

That's not that well optimized, I could get 50-60 players and server was running smoothly

Are you sure that you've configured your server correctly?

[fallow minnow]

well its not mine tbf

[round bone]

Oh, lol

[fallow minnow]

but they havent tested more than 25 so

but damn thats crazy

i have noticed though

around 300-350 entities starts to dip the tps

[round bone]

Entities are the worst thing to server's TPS

[fallow minnow]

yeah 😭

[round bone]

You can get up to 50-60 players easily if you simply cut entities down as much as you can

[fallow minnow]

thats actually insane

on vps 2 correct?

[round bone]

Even on VPS-1 it would be possible tbh

If you also configure your server correctly to prevent from loading plenty of chunks, change compression method etc.

[fallow minnow]

do you have any tutorials for that

and which compression method is best?

[round bone]

Use "snappy"

And only compress larger than 512/1024 bytes

[fallow minnow]

what do you mean

i can choose what sizes to compress?

[round bone]

Yes, in server.properties there are dedicated options to choose how a software will compress all packets

[fallow minnow]

ohhhh

is it uhh

compression threshold

i just set that to 512

[round bone]

Yup

[fallow minnow]

it was on zlib and 1 💀

[round bone]

If you're using zlib, it's better to use ~10k

10240 is a good value

[round bone]

💀

[fallow minnow]

ill try out snappy

and i cant get pm2 to work for the life of me

[round bone]

The only con of Snappy is that few percent of players will be unable to join your server, but I don't really know anyone that couldn't join my server because of that, so you shouldn't worry about it anyways

[fallow minnow]

its the easiest thing to set up but i cant get it to work with debian

[round bone]

Do you use PM2 for BDS or what?

[fallow minnow]

i think its because of my VENV

for endstone

so yes bds

[round bone]

I prefer to wrap everything around Docker Containers, it makes my workflow much easier tbh

[fallow minnow]

never have i ever used docker

know nothing about it

[round bone]

Docker is the biggest game-changer. It's high in demand, also makes any deployment much easier

You will never encounter error "It works on my machine" if you start using Docker

[fallow minnow]

so what even is docker

[round bone]

Docker is a software that allows you to run softwares inside "containers", which are isolated microservices

is it possible to make a scoreboard number go up to 9 quintillion

[inland merlin]

Quick question, did dynamicProperties change at all in how they are linked per uuid vs world?

[last latch]

UUID

[last latch]

You will have to split it across multiple different scoreboards

[inland merlin]

Ok

Well I thought it was uuid, up until I changed version and uuid for someone that has a realm, the pack updated good, but data was still there lol. So maybe a fluke

[remote oyster]

Make sure the realm took the update. Usually when that happens it is a sign that the realm is still using the previous version.

[inland merlin]

Okay!

[remote oyster]

Also, the data won't be deleted when you change the UUID. Just to be sure for clarity lol. It just won't be accessible.

[inland merlin]

Hmm weird lol

They confirmed the update took and data stayed idek, update changed some big ui things

[remote oyster]

Update the manifest to include some random description then try again and verify if the Realm is using the behavior pack with that modified description. Best way to confirm that it's using the updated pack. I typically add a version at the end of the description for this reason.

[inland merlin]

Okay, it could be a simple misunderstanding on my end. Thanks guys!

[remote oyster]

Can also add a basic command to print the version in chat. Another good way to verify lol.

[inland merlin]

Legendary idea lol

Hate realms

[remote oyster]

Indeed lol

[last latch]

They are a pain in the arse. I’m glad I got a PC and use BDS instead lol

[inland merlin]

I highly recommend going over to endstone. It is a wrapper, and still supports scripts, but also does python and c++ plugins.

[last latch]

Yeah I use it kinda

The ScriptSDK is nice

[inland merlin]

Cool alright

Yo thank you

Coz I can't view spawn entity options

[fallow minnow]

does anyone know how to disable commands on endstone

[round bone]

You can use BDS to disable commands

config/commands.json

{
    "permission_levels": {
        "me": "owner"
    }
}

[fallow minnow]

it doesnt seem to work on endstone

{
    "permission_levels": {
        "me": "internal"
    }
}```

supposedly i have to use plugins but i do not wanna do that

[round bone]

It only works for you, other people cannot use it

Did you restart your server?

[fallow minnow]

yes

i finally got this down

now time to make /link

[stray spoke]

Is that bds

Also can I know your font rp, just the png file if possible

[last latch]

No other way with endstone sadly

[round bone]

No, he can disable a command by using permissions.

Even darknavi has mentioned it 🙂

[jade grail]

im trying to use player.getComponent('inventory').container to see if player has the items it needs for a craft and if it does it removes it and adds the crafted item

anyone know how i could do that?

[thorn flicker]

use a for loop.
https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_loop_for.asp

...

[jade grail]

i think i need a loop but idk what functions detects items

nor how to remove a specific number

[thorn flicker]

getItem()

on the container class.

const container = player.getComponent('inventory').container
for (let i = 0; i < container.size; i++) {
    const item = container.getItem(i)
    //...
}

[jade grail]

nvm

[thorn flicker]

nvm what

[jade grail]

theres a contains function

[thorn flicker]

that wont work well.

[jade grail]

😭 about to tell me 50 negatives of it

[thorn flicker]

that checks for an exact copy of the itemstack.

[jade grail]

well for my purposes i inputed contains 10 oak planks and i had 15 in my inv it returned true

so i think for my purpose it will work

[jade grail]

this wont work if i have the items in different stacks

well im prety sure

imagine i got 2 stacks 1 has 9 planks the other has 6 planks

[thorn flicker]

thats why you put break at the end so it breaks the loop.

[jade grail]

.

[thorn flicker]

i didnt give a complete script, it was just a snippet.

[jade grail]

@thorn flicker how would i remove items if its in a seperate slot

so it would remove 6 from the first slot the the rest of the 4 from the other

[thorn flicker]

this is a problem, you are right, but im busy rn

sorry

[jade grail]

all good

👍🏻 manage to figure it out by making a for loop for how many i want to remove and 1 by 1 removing it from each stack

[last latch]

I recommend reading my messages for the future

[woven loom]

anyone got entity cloner

[round bone]

You're wrong. You can disable commands without using a plugin.

Literally Mojang employee even said how to do it

[honest spear]

As external tool?

Or script api immitation?

bc you are not possible to do it only with script as all components are not accesible or modificable

[fallow minnow]

noo they arent wrong, currently there is a bug with endstone that doesnt let u disable vanilla commands like that

supposedly itll be fixed next update

yes its possible with vanilla bds but i run endstone so it doesnt work

[round bone]

I've used this method few months ago and it worked correctly; to be honest, it's still better to wait for my approach rather than using plugins

They're not that reliable in my opinion

[fallow minnow]

yeah i really dont wanna touch plugins but look

[round bone]

If you don't use plugins, it's better to use regular BDS at this point

Larger server networks use BDS with a proxy rather than a mod-loader like Endstone

[round bone]

config/commands.json

[fallow minnow]

well i need access to xuid

[round bone]

I am reading BDS's console and scrap it out from there

[fallow minnow]

yeah i have a friend who does that

but i also need boss bar and stuff for my json ui

its smart but ehh

i like the better control

ip bans

in the future i may use plugins purely for alt detection and vpn stuff

[round bone]

I've stopped using Endstone when I started using a proxy, it's easier to maintain and I am not depending on someone that might just stop working on a software anyways

[fallow minnow]

well i heard that they are backed by someone and are paid loadsss to keep it updated

tbf it does update every release

but not with loads of features just the newest version

[round bone]

Endstone is only good for server that do not bypass more than 30-40 players online tbh

[stray spoke]

Is there an event to detect if a block is being generated, such as cobblestone generator, cabalt generator and other causes

Damn

Thanks

[fallow minnow]

how so??

well actually i get what you mean kinda

[round bone]

If you have more than 40 players, you'll start thinking about moving to your own infra etc.; most of bigger networks do not want to rely on OSS projects that they can't even maintain. Look at The Hive - they have their own software, Zeqa is using PMMP but owner of a server also maintains PMMP

[fallow minnow]

yeah

[round bone]

PokeBedrock also uses BDS with a proxy that is maintained by the owner

[fallow minnow]

but isnt pmmp php?

i guess like

building your own endstone like software would be cool

[round bone]

In my opinion, it's better to use a proxy rather than a mod-loader if you'd like to code one

im directly displaying the aux id and it only works for blocks

emerald: 36175872
enchanting_table: 7602176

emerald doesnt work but enchanting table does

what did minecraft do

[subtle cove]

is structure cloning out of the options?

[sudden nest]

There's this weird thing happening when you get the block container of a single chest that was just spawned via structure load (the chest has loot table in it) , then get the emptySlots it returns 27, even though, when you open it, there's loot inside it or if you destroy the chest block.

Not sure if this is intensional, i know it could probably be an optimized way to only get items when breaking it or opening it, i was trying to get like the explorer_map using loot_tables via script or command, but keep getting empty container instead.

P.S When you break the chest block it drops the items, although the explorer map is still not functioning, the only way to make it function properly is when you open the chest, which sucks.

[stray spoke]

Do I can directly transport the same item to another player like

anotherPlayer.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container. addItem(data.itemStack) //or data.itemStack.clone()

[subtle cove]

yes

btw,
where's data coming from?

[stray spoke]

Nicee

Thanks

[subtle cove]

u could directly tranfer via, .container.transferItem instead of addItem

if possible

[stray spoke]

Oh yeah I forgot

But it's buggy

It's delayed response

[subtle cove]

alr then

[subtle cove]

might need this```js
const c = anotherPlayer.getComponent("inventory").container;
const remaining = c.addItem(data.itemStack);
if (remaining) {
anotherPlayer.dimension.spawnItem(remaining, anotherPlayer.location);
}

[stray spoke]

I already know what to do, but why you gotta spawn an item also

[subtle cove]

when the inv is full

[stray spoke]

Oh

Thanks again

[subtle cove]

np

[jagged gazelle]

I forgot itemstack returns that when it fails to fill up the container

[stray spoke]

Pinoy din pala amp

[stray spoke]

At first I thought it returns falsy when it fails

[subtle cove]

can't remember other's code much, unfortunately

[steep hamlet]

is there any afterEvent that gets triggered when the player is fully loaded? basically when you can actually start playing

[wary edge]

Player spawn?

[steep hamlet]

that one seems to be triggered before you can play

im trying to get the simulation distance

function getSimDist(player) {
    const pos = player.location;
    for (let i = 16; i <= 196; i += 16) {
        const loc = { x: pos.x + i, y: pos.y, z: pos.z };
        try {
            const block = player.dimension.getBlock(loc);
            console.warn(block.x, block.y, block.z);
        } catch {
            return i - 16;
        }
    }
    return 196;
}

this returns 0 with playerSpawn or playerJoin or even worldLoad

[round bone]

The closest thing to this behavior is PlayerSpawnAfterEvent, if you need to get simulation distance, just run your function until it's not 0

[steep hamlet]

ooh the loop sounds good that'll work

[wary edge]

I would actually just recommend using the dimension.isChunkLoaded function.

[last latch]

I didn’t know he used Endstone 0.10 at that time. I think Endstone users know better what works on Endstone and what doesn’t 🤷‍♂️

[steep hamlet]

hmmm this might be the best solution indeed

[distant tulip]

I used structure blocks in mine
I also tried saving variant and available stuff but some things are not possible

[woven loom]

Could you explain how you did it?

[distant tulip]

With structures?

[woven loom]

Ye

[distant tulip]

Just used structure manager and saved a structure at the entity location, excluding blocks
There might be more than one entity in that location, so i did some other stuff to make sure i don't duplicate them

[woven loom]

Like?

[distant tulip]

Can't really remember every detail, sense that was in a lost version (i only shared videos)
What i do remember is keeping track of the entity id when saving it, so i don't save it multiple times when looping through nearby entities.
You can also tp the entity before saving it to avoid that? Not sure if this will work tho

[last latch]

Wouldn’t be saving data and replaying it more reliable or even better?

[distant tulip]

as i said i tried that, it wasn't saving everything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz3RKzubHpo
horse variant for example only save part of it

[hoary sun]

i always wondered

Which is better, scoreboards or system.runs if used correctly?

[valid ice]

Scoreboards are better for keeping scores, system runs are better for running systems

[hoary sun]

Yea im guessing, but i did notice some people yk like, making spells and attacks with scoreboards, and others including me, use system runs

which one is better for that case?

[valid ice]

Like for cooldowns between attacks and whatnot?

[hoary sun]

Yea

[valid ice]

I’d say out of the two, scoreboards would be better, but I would say to use date timestamps or dynamic properties if you are using scripts

Date method lets you set the cooldown based on current time and not have to decrement or increment any values
Dynamic properties are built for scripts, and a lot easier to use

[wheat condor]

Date method isnt always reliable, if someone stops the game or the game is lagging it causes cooldowns to be faster couse they re not game dependent

[thorn flicker]

just use the cooldown component?

[valid ice]

I’d say that makes it more reliable than other methods

[thorn flicker]

...

[distant tulip]

depend on the use case

[thorn flicker]

should be considered if it can be used

[distant tulip]

yeah, if it is item related

[dusky flicker]

it seems to be bit operations

rather than normal arithmetic ones

[dusky flicker]

it might be something like
(itemId << 16) | (enchanted * (1 << 15))

which does almost the same

but the sum generaly isnt literally a sum

[fallow minnow]

well tbf its not happening for me

[dusky flicker]

i forgot the source of this but, sums are OR operations and multiplications are AND operations

i think i learned from boolean algebra

[woven loom]

How did you do the riding thing?

[distant tulip]

When saving the ride, i save an object with timeframes and riders

[last latch]

oh my bad, missed that message entirely on my phone

[naive tinsel]

is there a component for modifying how high a player can jump

[round bone]

1. It's better to ask in #1067869022273667152
2. There's no component like this, sadly 🙁

[naive tinsel]

Ok nws

[fallow minnow]

does anyone know why its not letting me import beforeEvents from server-admin?

its just not showing up, only variables, secrets and whatever else

[round bone]

In typings?

[sudden nest]

Is it possible to get like the maindhand or offhand or armor of any mobs (not player) using script, like return the itemStack?

[wary edge]

No.

[sudden nest]

Ah okay

[golden condor]

Is there any known workaround for these vanilla mobs to differentiate which ones are tamed to specific players?

[round bone]

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

[golden condor]

That's just a link to one of the component's properties?

[round bone]

Did you check what is this property even for?

[golden condor]

Yes, but it doesn't help for quite a few vanilla mobs because the tameable component gets removed as soon as they are tamed. This will just return undefined.

[round bone]

It's not this component. Read carefully

[golden condor]

But tame mount will only work for the specific entities which have this component. I'm looking for a solution for all the tameable vanilla mobs.

[round bone]

There's no closer solution to your problem than mine. You can always copy vanilla mobs into your add-on and add this component

[fresh comet]

How do I stop the player from breaking a specific block

I want it to block the player from breaking it when they don't have permission

Like if they don't have the specific tag

[thorn flicker]

playerBreakBlock beforeEvent

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.4.0/classes/PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent.html

set the cancel property to true

[fresh comet]

Thank you♥️

[honest spear]

np

[fallow minnow]

when are we getting player.kick or player.disconnect

[stray spoke]

Bro shes not thanking you 😭

[fallow minnow]

how can i runCommand on a player thats in the player selector for a custom command

they just dont work

im trying to foundPlayer.runCommand("kick @s")

[honest spear]

NO I AM SAING "no problem"

as it was resolved

so there is no problem anymore

[honest spear]

the longest awaited feature fr

[fallow minnow]

why doesnt it exist 💀

[honest spear]

who knows

[fallow minnow]

what is up with this ```ts
commands.register({
name: "online-ban",
description: "Ban an online player from the server. Eg: /online-ban G07HN 'Cheating' '7d'",
parameters: [
{
mandatory: true,
name: "username",
type: CustomCommandParamType.PlayerSelector,
},
{
mandatory: true,
name: "reason",
type: CustomCommandParamType.String,
},
{
mandatory: true,
name: "duration",
type: CustomCommandParamType.String
},
],
permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.GameDirectors,
callback: async (origin, player: any, reason: string, duration: string) => {
//const self = world.getPlayers().find(p => p.name === origin.sourceEntity?.nameTag)
const foundPlayer = player[0] as Player;
//if (foundPlayer.hasTag("owner")) return false
//if (foundPlayer.name === self.name) return false
if (!foundPlayer) {
return false;
}
if (duration.toLowerCase() === "forever") {
await bans.upsert({
xuid: foundPlayer.xuid,
username: foundPlayer.name,
reason: reason,
duration: formatDuration("1000w")
})
return true;
}
const durationSeconds = formatDuration(duration);
if (durationSeconds === null) {
return false;
}

    await bans.upsert({
        xuid: foundPlayer.xuid,
        username: foundPlayer.name,
        reason: reason,
        duration: formatDuration(duration)
    })

    const reasonArray = [
        "§cYou are banned from this server!",
        `§r§7Reason: §b${reason}`,
        `§r§7Duration: §b${reverseFormatDuration(Number(durationSeconds)) ?? "§bForever"}`
    ]
    foundPlayer.runCommand(`kick @s "${reasonArray.join(" ")}"`);

    return true;
}

});``` its not letting my run commands on the player

its adding to the database and stuff

[round bone]

Run as a dimension maybe

[fallow minnow]

nope

[round bone]

foundPlayer.dimension.runCommand(`kick "${foundPlayer.name}" … `)

[fallow minnow]

ya ik it doesnt work

i might know a way to crash them actually 💀

oh wait

okay so

its not finding the player properly???

bruh what idk

i cant run anything on the found player

not sendMessage

nothing

but i can get the name and everything else..??

[round bone]

foundPlayer is undefined then

[fallow minnow]

but how if i can get the name??

[round bone]

Can't you use player's name directly instrad of a nametag?

[fallow minnow]

and the tags it has

[round bone]

player.name

[fallow minnow]

yes ik

but if the player is undefined how come i can get the name and their tags

[round bone]

Use a string instead of PlayerSelector in username param

[fallow minnow]

i just cant run stuff on them

[fallow minnow]

tried that too

i get command failed

it wont run any commands on the player 💀

wtffff

first one fails, second one works..????

const foundPlayer = world.getPlayers({ name: player })[0];
console.warn(foundPlayer.name)

const worldPlayer = world.getPlayers({ name: foundPlayer.name })[0];
console.warn(JSON.stringify(worldPlayer.getTags()))
worldPlayer.sendMessage("test")```

might have found why

[stray spoke]

Idk if the player on {name: player} is a variable or not, but name should be name: "The Name"

[fallow minnow]

okay yeah i got it

my if logic was messedup

[unreal saddle]

Is there a way to detect when an entity has been dyed?

[distant tulip]

interaction?

[unreal saddle]

But is there a way to do it in a script?

[distant tulip]

or just detect component group changes

[unreal saddle]

I saw something like
DyeColor,But I don't know how to use it

[subtle cove]

[distant tulip]

that is probably for sign colors or items

use DataDrivenEntityTriggerAfterEvent

also, this is a wired name tbh

[unreal saddle]

😔

[distant tulip]

keep in mind the evoker can chnage there color, so DataDrivenEntityTriggerAfterEvent might work best

[subtle cove]

when they spawn

e.setDynamicProperty('color', e.getComponent('color').value)

[zinc breach]

what does world.getPlayers return? does it give you a list of the players online or like a number

[frosty yoke]

Actually it was EntityHurt before event and we already having it so

[honest spear]

yea thats why its longest awaiting feature

[dapper copper]

you cant do @s, only name, just do kick ${foundPlayer.name}

[fallow minnow]

nu uh u can

they added it back

[dapper copper]

when

[fallow minnow]

no idea but it works

kick: {
    value(reason: string) {
        system.run(() => {
            this.runCommand(`kick @s "${reason}"`);
        })
    }
}```

[untold magnet]

well, im trying to make a massive shockwave that happens after an event, it will release something like a circle that expands and knock back entities as it goes through them, so whats the most efficient way to do it?

[jade grail]

visually? or what

getentities has max distance and min distance

so i assume just loop it the min and max distance going up by 1

[untold magnet]

well, i really hate using getEntities, its really really bad for TPS, so ill just use projectiles instead,

[untold magnet]

i can use this for the visual effects, its good enough ig

[jade grail]

that looks good

[untold magnet]

what i will do:
spawning like 20 projectiles that can go through multiple entities, it moves slowly and u can jump above it to avoid it

spawning 20 projectile entities once every a while is so much better than using getEntities multiple times

for now, ill add the other projectiles first, then ill deal with that shockwave one

i mean, i can make it alot simpler, like one large projectile that explodes into 4-9 other smaller ones that explodes upon impact, each one will have a small shockwave and it covers a large random area,

[open urchin]

Just checking that I haven't overcomplicated things for no reason, there's no easier way to check that an entity was killed by a charged creeper is there?

[devout sandal]

how tf do you export a typedef, i have tried making a module, i have tried importing the file, i have tried making an unused export, i keep getting the typedef not found in module error.

[dusky flicker]

how is your code?

by the way, is there a method to get the uuid of the addon?

or must it be hardcoded?

[native osprey]

can someone help me with this?

this is the manifest and main.js files

[unique dragon]

Dependencies version are with string, not array

[native osprey]

The ",," format?

[native osprey]

okay i changed the dependency format to string, but now it says "at least one of your resource or behavior packs failed to load"

[round bone]

Do not care about this, sometimes it just sends on the chat

As far as any feature from your BP/RP works, omit this message

[round bone]

Yes, e.g. "2.4.0"

[native osprey]

its supposed to show "hello world" when i use /reload but it doesnt happen

[round bone]

Could you show me structure of your behavior pack?

Like some tree from VS Code

[round bone]

Can you show me your current manifest?

[round bone]

Use dots as a version

"2.4.0"

Also, fix caps on 7th line of main.js:

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => {

-# Just copy this to 7th line

[native osprey]

alright gonna try now

[round bone]

Should work fine, LMK if it still fails

[native osprey]

well it didnt failed but nothing happened

so im not sure if maybe the main is the one that needs something changed?

[round bone]

Hmm, very weird

Wait

[round bone]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => {
    system.run(() => {
        world.sendMessage(`[LOG] Player sent message: ${event.message}`)
    })
})

[native osprey]

subcribe?

[unreal saddle]

Can absorption hearts be detected?

[round bone]

I fixed it, try now

[round bone]

You can only get the level of an effect, it's kinda hard to detect amount of absorption hearts that player has

[native osprey]

THANKS

jesus js is so weird sometimes

tho it says something about cannot read property subscribe of undefined, thats normal?

[open urchin]

That means the thing you're getting the subscribe property from doesn't exist
chatSend only exists in beta versions of @minecraft/server

[native osprey]

oh, so should i remove/change it?

[round bone]

Adjust library's version to "2.5.0-beta"

[native osprey]

including "-beta"?

or there is any equivalent of chatSend in stable version?

[last latch]

not really

[native osprey]

do you know where i can find these java scripts? so i know which ones are available in stable verions

is it possible to make my entity follow a certain path till it finds a player? im trying to make a horror game and my entity j moves wherever he wants and the maps too big for that.

i was thinking where it follows certain blocks in the floor or something? then one player isnt a target it goes back to following them

[summer cloud]

Is it possible to use ItemStack to give potions?

[steep hamlet]

how do you get equipment proprieties from zombies or non-player mobs?

const equipment = ent.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
console.warn(ent.typeId); // returns minecraft:zombie
console.warn(equipment.totalArmor); // doesn't work

[open urchin]

You can't
They disabled the component on non-player entities years ago and haven't ever mentioned adding support back

[steep hamlet]

i saw theres a runCommand alternative with testfor but can it test for enchantments?

[open urchin]

no

is appwrite or supabase better?? supabase is cleaner to use but appwrite has 4x more free storage

Supabase: free, 500mb, sql style
Self-hoster: $4.90, 75gb, sql

[shut citrus]

how to import this module?

[round bone]

Completly wrong server, this server is for Bedrock add-ons

Also, to import a package in Java, you just have to import a class/interface etc.:

Use Docker to host it easily

should i do my own CUSTOM sql db? or just build supabase and stuff

[round bone]

What do you mean by a custom? MySQL, PostgreSQL etc.?

[fallow minnow]

yeah i guess

i really like the layout of supabase since i can have json b columns and stuff

[round bone]

PostgreSQL has the same features and you can easily self-host it on your own or even use like Supabase (serverless, e.g. via AWS services)

[fallow minnow]

so for self hosting do i just read and write data through vps hosted local hosts??

since i can only do http requests with script api

[round bone]

Yep, you just send a request to your database

[round bone]

There are 2 ways:

1. You make a backend and prepare routes like e.g. /guilds/all and you just fetch it.
2. Single REST API endpoint and you just send there your SQL query

[fallow minnow]

can i FULLY customize it?

like identify certain columns as indexes to performantly sort them

[round bone]

Yes

[chrome coyote]

What are the dynamic properties limits?
can i save a 672 byte number on them?

[round bone]

You should stringify it before saving, but there's not much a limit of an amount of dynamic properties

[wary edge]

There's only a char limit(or was it a size limit) per DP. 😓 I've reached that limit so many times.

[chrome coyote]

my goal is to use the minimum amount of memory not to save it normally

i ve alredy reached an RGBH format in strings but i wanted to go further since a char heavier than a number

[round bone]

Oh, okay

Do you need to save this single number with a very high precision?

If not so, I'd save it in a scientific notation

I mean it work 100% both PC and mobile because you just need click the button

I don't know about console though

I didn't test it on console because I have only have phone and keyboard/w mouse that I buy online

All backpack add-ons should have this feature and this not finish yet

backend

[covert goblet]

Does anybody know if there is a way to trigger a screen shot on a server from a script?? I want to make a photo booth for my SMP that uploads to a discord server

[warm mason]

u can't

But you can send the block data to the server so that the server can render it and take a "screenshot"

[covert goblet]

It was primarily to capture player skins for their bio, apparently taking a screenshot means to some people take a photo of the screen with your phone!!
