Script API General

[cursive fog]

im planning to add a custom ammo tally for the player

[supple perch]

just use .setActionBar

[distant tulip]

or scoreboard

[supple perch]

and .repeat('|',20) or something similar

[cursive fog]

basically the ammo tally on the side

[cursive fog]

hmmm

[supple perch]

it's done using a mix of .setActionBar or scoreboard as minato said and some JSON UI to style it

anyway here's the docs so you don't get confused

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.ScreenDisplay.html

[distant tulip]

if you really want to, this is not the place to ask
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1067870274894172260

[cursive fog]

one last can setActionBar display json ui?

[supple perch]

no no

.setActionBar sets your action bar

JSON UI which is on the client can read the action bar style it

[alpine ibex]

Is this possible while using json ui and scripting planning on making a jujutsu craft inspired add-on for bedrock

[supple perch]

eh

i think it's possible

idk about the model in the middle

it's probably gonna be the biggest hurdle for you

[alpine ibex]

Tbhs yeah that's a real problem I think

[supple perch]

anyway use #1067869374410657962 bruh

[alpine ibex]

Well it's relevant

[supple perch]

4% of it

[alpine ibex]

50%

[supple perch]

legit it's entirely styling some text

[cursive fog]

justtttttt one last so basically when i trigger .setActionBar(custom1) it will display* the custom1 json ui i made? apologies if im asking it here im focusing on making the script work first eh

[supple perch]

it's completely done by JSON UI

[supple perch]

you can't even display hud elements using ScriptAPI to begin with

let alone the gradient

let alone the model

[alpine ibex]

Fr?

[supple perch]

let alone a custom font bruh

[alpine ibex]

[supple perch]

it's all JSON UI brolio

[alpine ibex]

Idk I think i'll find a way

[supple perch]

you just pass some data to it using text from ScriptAPI

[supple perch]

it's possible, but JSON UI will do all the work basically

[alpine ibex]

I see

[supple perch]

uh

i don't think you understand

action bars aren't UIs

you don't show anything with the function call

you legit just pass something like gun#ammo or something like that idk

and JSON UI "reads" that info

and styles it

[cursive fog]

hmm i see

[marble spruce]

uhhh so is there a way to make the numbers show on top of the hotbar??

[supple perch]

what?

i have a feeling what you're looking for is player.onScreenDisplay.setActionbar('an actionbar')

but i still don't understand, what do you mean by "the numbers"?

the scores?

the indexes?

what exactly

[marble spruce]

Okay, so basically I'm developing a code system for my addon,and im struggling to develop them with scripts since animation_controlls give me headache to deal with

each item changes a exact number until hit the exact number

[marble spruce]

And that's where this part of the script shines

[marble spruce]

Ah crap i realized this is script and not commands

Mb

[supple perch]

bro

[marble spruce]

😭

[supple perch]

i don't imagine myself making a code system with anything but script api

honestly it's crazy you got this kinda far

anyway so what exactly do you want from the codes?

like what should it do?

you can study the script i make and add your logic on it

a 4 digit code system is easy to make

[marble spruce]

Ok so basically..this. . . but i realized i need to use commands

[marble spruce]

Yeah it is

[supple perch]

but what is the input for it?

[supple perch]

i don't understand still

you want to display the code?

[marble spruce]

yeah!

[supple perch]

ok so how did you store the code?

in binary?

in an array?

in a string?

nvm you store it in a bunch of scores..

well still

[marble spruce]

oop aight

basically each item changes a certain digit

[supple perch]

ok

that's it?

[cursive fog]

how do i display a variable on .setActionBar

[marble spruce]

y u p

[supple perch]

i think storing the digit on the player via dynamic properties is better in that case

[marble spruce]

well,i already got the set up but the numbers don't show above the hotbar

[supple perch]

first: i recommend you watch a javascript course, second use player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(variable) or however you want to format it

but it must be a string or like in the end have a way to be turned into a string

[supple perch]

scores are not good bruh

a dp would be so much better

i won't even make you use bits or binary

[cursive fog]

it says this

[supple perch]

then you ain't passed a string

show me the variable

[cursive fog]

let count = world.getDynamicProperty('am:mo')

[supple perch]

the dynamic property can be undefined

also this is not good for multiplayer

use this:

let count = player.getDynamicProperty('am:mo') || 0;

[cursive fog]

mmm wym?

[supple perch]

it can have no value

if it's not set

etc.

[cursive fog]

hmmm i have another dynamic property that sets it tho

[supple perch]

that's not what i meant

what i meant is if it's the initial run and the section of the code that sets it didn't run yet, then it's gonna be unset

[cursive fog]

oh

[alpine ibex]

I've noticed that summoning a mob then playing a animation at the same time it doesn't do the animation

But orrr not

[supple perch]

it has a bit of desync

since the animation is played on the client side and not managed by the server

[alpine ibex]

Hmmm

[supple perch]

@marble spruce this is probably not the best version but i have tried to keep it as simple and performant as possible

try to learn from it

and test it out/play with it

const functions = {
  '0340': 'omnip_decouple',
  '4462': 'unlock_feedback',
  '3411': 'unlock_upchuck',
  '1219': 'failsafe_off',  
  '3821': 'failsafe_on',   
  '0023': 'unlock_iguana', 
  '9394': 'unlock_blob',   
  '7337': 'unlock_fungal', 
  '3267': 'unlock_eyeguy', 
  '1034': 'unlock_buzz',
  '0400': 'destruct_timer',
  '9036': 'unlock_master',
  '7084': 'unlock_playlist_two',
  '1460': 'unlock_idem',
  '5531': 'unlock_spitter'
};
    
    if (item.typeId === "ocp:set_sequence") {
      const code = player.getDynamicProperty('code'); // use player.setDynamicProperty('code', '2730') for example
      if (typeof code !== 'string' || code.length < 4) return; // u should send a message or something.
      const fn = functions[code];
      if (!fn) return; // also u should send a msg or idk
      player.runCommand(`function ${fn}`);
      player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`§0<§aCode §a${code[0]}§0-§a${code[1]}§0-§a${code[2]}§0-§a${code[3]}§0>`);
    }

[marble spruce]

yeah i noticed,i already fixed that

[marble spruce]

noice

Ok so,I already have the set sequence, what's missing is a number swap, like a locker,to change the numbers

i still don't know how to do that

[dusky flicker]

i think that it'd be simpler by only doing

let code;
let out;
if (item.typeId === "ocp:set_sequence" && 
    typeof (code = player.getDynamicProperty('code')) == "string" && 
    code.length < 4
  ) {
  switch (code) {
    case '0340': out = 'omnip_decouple'; break;
    case '4462': out = 'unlock_feedback'; break;
    case '3411': out = 'unlock_upchuck'; break;
    case '1219': out = 'failsafe_off'; break;
    case '3821': out = 'failsafe_on'; break;
    case '0023': out = 'unlock_iguana'; break;
    case '9394': out = 'unlock_blob'; break;
    case '7337': out = 'unlock_fungal'; break;
    case '3267': out = 'unlock_eyeguy'; break;
    case '1034': out = 'unlock_buzz'; break;
    case '0400': out = 'destruct_timer'; break;
    case '9036': out = 'unlock_master'; break;
    case '7084': out = 'unlock_playlist_two'; break;
    case '1460': out = 'unlock_idem'; break;
    case '5531': out = 'unlock_spitter'; break;
    default: return;
  };
  player.runCommand("function" + out);
  const actionbar_text = '§0<'+code.split('').map(c => c+'§0').join("§a")+'§0>'
  player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`actionbar_text`);
}

[fiery solar]

Using a switch statement is slower than using an object

[dusky flicker]

🧐 no way

yeah, it really is, how in hell is it even possible

in node its the opposite

it seems that quickjs doesnt know how to optimize it to a jump table

[dusky flicker]

same thing with bun

the switch is faster

[fiery solar]

Yeah, quickjs doesn't have a JIT compiler. So a switch statement is the same as a bunch of if statements.

[cyan basin]

And Mojang chose to use quickjs!? 😭

[honest spear]

QuickJS is lightweight and really easy to embed to any application

[dusky flicker]

lua

[honest spear]

don't say so

lol

[dusky flicker]

or maybe wasm, some wasm runtime would be good as well

[cyan basin]

i mean i still don't understand why "language" is a field that you can add in the manifest.json if javascript is the only language

[honest spear]

V8 would be awesome and might happen in the future anyway, but its long far future i guess

[honest spear]

bc they support only language now?

it make 100% sence

[finite ice]

What's the new ui called? can anyone say?

[cyan basin]

what!?

[finite ice]

i forgot it lwk

[dusky flicker]

ddui

data driven ui if im not mistaken

[cyan basin]

if javascript is the only option to pass into language in the manifest why expose/require it at all? just make it internal or some shit

[honest spear]

its not required lol

[dusky flicker]

but are there ideas for adding other languages?

[honest spear]

default is JS if you don't specify

yea, no one said that there will never be more languages

if we move to V8, then its very likely we get WASM

[dusky flicker]

it'd be damn easier if they simply used wasm from the beggining

[honest spear]

real

[cyan basin]

still though, kinda weird to have it there if you don't plan on using it for so long (just saying 🤷‍♂️)

[honest spear]

i mean if we got OreUI sonner than ScriptAPI then we would run on V8 already

[honest spear]

who said that? Do you have some internal information on when the other language comes?

[dusky flicker]

so this data driven ui would be some initial things for the OreUI stuff?

[honest spear]

OreUI is the engine, DDUI is JSON files for screens layout

[cyan basin]

not what i'm saying at all... we've had only javascript ever since it released and it's been a thing in the manifest ever since

that's what i'm getting at

[honest spear]

i mean its common thing to do in programming, no one whats to deal with refactoring or changing a lot of code, just make it ready for more options ahead of time lol

[fiery solar]

I hate to say it, but I don't think there's any chance we ever get another language than JavaScript. It's fast enough for almost every use case and any type of compiled language opens the door to all kinds of security nightmares.

[honest spear]

yea but there is no argument to not having language option in manifest, and even so as its optional

thats what i am trying to say

[whole pulsar]

Yo what can I do against players who grief my world with lumine proxy?

[honest spear]

not much

just report him i guess?

[distant tulip]

ask him nicely

[devout sandal]

I thought you could also do typescript? I mean.. I know they are both basically the same but there is at least that..

[devout sandal]

wdym? like a bunch of if statements?

[cyan basin]

yeah but typescript just compiles to javascript so either way it still goes back to one language

but yeah im not going to bother responding to this otherwise imma just get my head chewed off still talking about this

[devout sandal]

Yeah, I know.. I figured that was what you meant..

[whole pulsar]

He uses alt accounts

[whole pulsar]

The problem is he joins with op and does immediately /clear @a

[honest spear]

how does he joins with OP?

How is that possible?

[dusky flicker]

anything that compiles down to js can be used

[weary umbra]

Thats the issue here the Client somehow allows the player to have op and the same dude who grieft Leon joined my multiplayer disabled world!

I told an admin on this server if he knew someone that work at Mojang, to do something about the website, but he didn't answer.

[lyric kestrel]

Could someone inform me what BlockBoundingBox is?

Bit confused by the wording on the top of this 😅
https://stirante.com/script/server/2.7.0-beta.1.26.10-preview.22/interfaces/BlockBoundingBox.html

[wary edge]

Its like a collision box.

Thats, quite it. Has a min/max.

[lyric kestrel]

Oh. Interesting

Thank you

[blissful hazel]

Anyone know a script that open an more inventory?

[fallow minnow]

whats a good method to privately connecting 2 vps's together? like they have a private connection where only they can communicate

no public ips should be able to access the bridge

[fiery solar]

Wireguard is probably your best bet

[fallow minnow]

alright thank you

[weary umbra]

In which Minecraft version was scriptApi 2.0.0 got released?

[open urchin]

1.21.90

[weary umbra]

Ok thanks

[marble spruce]

i made it

thanks for the support

[zinc breach]

this works pretty well actually

[zinc breach]

why is getEntitiesFromViewDirection returning undefined here

[distant tulip]

it return an array

hitEntity[]
iirc it is {entity, distance}[]

[zinc breach]

an array of hit entity?

so rayEntity[0].entity would work?

[distant tulip]

yes

[lucid dust]

is there any way to force-load chunks?

[past blaze]

world.tickingAreaManager

[lucid dust]

is this a beta method?

[past blaze]

Yeah

I think?

[distant tulip]

yes

[zinc breach]

how come entity.isValid() isnt working for me

says isValid isnt a function in the console

like am I doing something wrong here

[wary edge]

Should just be stand.isValid

[zinc breach]

oh wow thats mb then

thanks

[glacial widget]

Question if am checking if a player has a tag per entity hit then a check for a dynamic propriety per hit. which one is better?

[warm mason]

it doesn't really matter, just do as you want

[glacial widget]

am asking for performance like which one is better for causing less lag

[warm mason]

let me test..

[warm mason]

hasTag is a little better

[wary edge]

Can we detect critical hits?

#1455390633970630801 message - answered, albeit workaround.

[fallow minnow]

no tags are laggier

[warm mason]

how did u test it?

[fallow minnow]

with actual players

saving the players pfid through tags

did ~500 ( maybe more ) and it was complete shit

such insane tps drop

but switched to dps and it fixed itself

[warm mason]

show the code

[fallow minnow]

it wasnt mine it was a friends

[warm mason]

I don't believe u then, lol

Like, I literally measured their execution time yesterday. Although it probably depends on whether there's something in the DP or not, but I don't think an empty DP will be slower than a filled one

[fallow minnow]

well im pretty sure its quite known that tags are complete shit performance

especially for storing data or having hundreds

all im saying is the more players that joined and the more tags it created made the server laggier and laggier

and when switched over to dynamic properties it was fine

like around 5000 dynamic properties without an issue for EACH player

[warm mason]

I'm asking you about the results of your measurements, not that you "know"

[fallow minnow]

and im telling you an actual experience with real players so

[warm mason]

tags should be stored as a Set...

they shouldn't perform worse if there are a lot of tags..

well.. u can test..

[fallow minnow]

well on a bds, creating a tag for each new player seemed to significantly hinder tps but it was all resolved when having a dp for each player so they may be faster in terms of getting and setting but besides that idk

[warm mason]

I tested it, reading a tag is ~10% faster than reading DP, but writing a tag is 2 times slower than writing DP

[fallow minnow]

reading and writing isnt the issue though so

get 500 players to join a bds and add their pfid as a tag and see if it has an effect on tps

[warm mason]

I don't have 500 players, bro 😭

I just measured the time... that's all

wouldnt gametest work?

or bedrock-protocol

[warm mason]

too lazy for that

[last latch]

😎

[lucid dust]

is there any way to create an explosion without particle effects?

[warm mason]

I need to use entities

and minecraft:explode component

[remote oyster]

entity.addTag("stunned");

The engine may need to do the following when you write a tag to a player, which could present itself to be extremely taxing when the player base grows:

1. Check the tag doesn’t already exist

2. Modify the entity’s tag container

3. Mark it for command/query systems

4. Potentially update selector caches

5. Potentially sync for clients

6. Flag it for saving

Tags are deeply integrated with commands and targeting under the hood and that would certainly explain why you noticed the difference in speed when writing a tag to a player.

That makes them powerful but also means more systems care when they change which can have a negative impact on performance.

entity.setDynamicProperty("stunned", true);

This typically:

1. Finds the property definition

2. Writes the value

3. Marks the DP storage dirty for save

Fewer external systems react instantly. So tags can be heavier to mutate. Especially if:

1. You write them often

2. Many entities are involved

3. The tag list is big

4. Selectors are frequently evaluated

Then the bookkeeping cost grows.

[warm mason]

😱

[remote oyster]

I could be wrong since we can't truly see the source code to know, but let's be honest here, that's most likely what is happening under the hood when writing a tag lol.

[warm mason]

well.. I just wanted to know what's faster, but thanks for this textwall

[remote oyster]

You are very welcome. Hope it was educational for you and anyone else that read it.

[zinc breach]

how do you add onto a players max health by a specific amount of hearts without health boost?

so say 11 hearts instead of the 12 that health boost 1 gives

[warm mason]

U can't modify max health without entity.json or health_boost

[zinc breach]

really? I feel like that's such an important thing you should be able to do

its with things like this that I'm confused why mojang just doesn't let you do

[warm mason]

I agree, but we can't do anything :/

[jolly citrus]

is v26.0 of mc on windows still gdk ???

why are the gdk options for core-build-tasks removed?

there's only BedrockUWP PreviewUWP and Custom

[wary edge]

No.

[jolly citrus]

why do the changelogs not mention that

[wary edge]

Mention what?

Why would they need to mention each update is GDK?

[jolly citrus]

i asked if v26.0 is still GDK

you responding with no implied that this is no longer true, that they have reverted to some other type

[wary edge]

Sorry, I misread it is all conbined with your other messages. The cofe build tasks never had an option for gdk as far as I know and people had to use custom.

[jolly citrus]

ah ok thx

maybe i edited the gdk options in myself then in the old version i wouldnt remember lol

[weary umbra]

Is there a property like world.isPaused?

[wary edge]

No.

What are you trying to do?

[weary umbra]

I want to test if the player has it on bc It does some issues with my code.

(world owner only)

[wary edge]

Want to elaborate?

[weary umbra]

bc it set the tps to 0 and I have a performance mode when the tps is under certain number some modules get disabled

[fallow carbon]

wouldn't that cause scripting to stop ticking as well?

[weary umbra]

doesnt seems to do that

idk

[wary edge]

It should but I've seen some people say system.runInteverval still executes if it's being pended.

None of my scripts work if the world is paused.

[weary umbra]

yeah thats the issue

I want to return that

[wary edge]

What?

[weary umbra]

if the world is paused

[fallow carbon]

I doub't thats something that is exposed to us.

[wary edge]

How do you expect the game to conitnue running when the whole purpose of a PAUSE mechanic is to pause the game.

[weary umbra]

I need to add a checker thanks guys

[wary edge]

If you need a counter or timer use Date.now()

[inner tinsel]

Hello, can anyone tell me the newest stable api version for @minecraft/server

[woven loom]

https://is.gd/benpm1

[nova flame]

how do i make it so the opponent doesnt take knockback when i cancel entityHurtEvent

[distant tulip]

cancel the hit

[sage portal]

That's stable in the new update, right?

[distant tulip]

beta

[sage portal]

Aw shucks

[weary umbra]

Thats a bug, next update its fixed

[nova flame]

ah ok

[nova flame]

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

const TARGET_IP = "1.1.1.1";
const TARGET_PORT = 19132;

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        try {
            transferPlayer(player, TARGET_IP, TARGET_PORT);
        } catch (e) {
            console.warn(`Failed to transfer ${player.name}: ${e}`);
        }
    }
}, 10);

anyone know why ts is broken

[fallow minnow]

it expects 2 arguments not 3

its most likely transferPlayer(player, {ip: 123, port: 67})

[nova flame]

ohhh

[fallow minnow]

hostname port

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

[nova flame]

@fallow minnow

it just crashes my game now

[remote oyster]

Hang tight. I have your answer.

[nova flame]

okay donkey

okey dokey**

[remote oyster]

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";
import { transferPlayer } from "@minecraft/server-admin";

// Get first player from array for just an example
const player = world.getPlayers()[0];

// Expects two arguments
// 1. player object
// 2. TransferPlayerIpPortOptions or TransferPlayerNetherNetOptions
// Here we use TransferPlayerIpPortOptions
transferPlayer(player, {hostname: "example.smp.org", port: 13222});

Sorry for the delay. Dealing with a brain tumor so my memory is short and it took time to process my thoughts lol. Hopefully this helps bring clarity.

[nova flame]

thanks but i have this

and it just crashes my game

[remote oyster]

No, your syntax is incorrect above.

[nova flame]

i fixed that

as GO7HN

told me

[remote oyster]

Change this:

transferPlayer(player, TARGET_IP, TARGET_PORT);

To this:

transferPlayer(player, {hostname: TARGET_IP, port: TARGET_PORT});

Your IP might be wrong because you are targeting 1.1.1.1 which is a cloudflare DNS for filtering traffic.

I'm not familiar with using 1.1.1.1 with a designated port.

[tidal wasp]

How tf would you decrease the durability of a tool when you mine something with it

[wary edge]

get component -> update -> set back to slot.

[tidal wasp]

Ok im lost on the update part

[winged drift]

const durability = item.getComponent(mc.ItemComponentTypes.Durability);
if (durability == undefined) return
durability.damage++```

[tidal wasp]

You can just do that 😭

[deep arrow]

if um setting alot of dynamic properties should i use
setDynamicProperties instead of several setDynamicProperty

[stray spoke]

I kinda made useState() in mc just like in react, except it's for dynamic properties

export function useState(player, prop, def) {
  return [
    player.getDynamicProperty(prop) ?? def,
    val => player.setDynamicProperty(prop, val)
  ];
}

So to use it, must be like:

const [score,setScore] = useState(player, "scores", 0)

[granite badger]

oh…

[stray spoke]

Alternatively, it can be like this

export function useState(prop, def) {
  return [
    (player) => player.getDynamicProperty(prop) ?? def,
    (player, val) => player.setDynamicProperty(prop, val)
  ];
}

So we can use only one variable for each player

const [score,setScore] = useState("scores", 0)

setScore(player1, 20)
setScore(player2, 30)

[tidal wasp]

How would you prevent a block from dropping anything when a player breaks it

[wary edge]

BeforePlayerBreakBlock -> Cancel

[tidal wasp]

Scripting rn

And uh

Ternary operator is pretty based

[alpine ibex]

9999999 ahhh

Les go I'm the one who added the count to 100k+

[woven loom]

[marble sigil]

One workaround, apply weakness 255, and use entityHitEntity.

[honest spear]

u are 9 months late bro

[warm mason]

Congratulations, you're already the 593rd person to leave the "100,000th message" 🎉

[alpine ibex]

[zinc breach]

does using player.nameTag = asd for example work for changing players usernames?

and I'm talking like the visible display on top of their head

[subtle cove]

yes, that's also visible when doing /say

[zinc breach]

oh nice I was using scoreboards before then saw this in entity class

that will make things much easier

[honest spear]

indeed

[zinc breach]

is there a way to change the players name for when they send messages in chat too

this .nameTag method worked for just display on top of your head but not when you send messages in chat normally

[jolly citrus]

when PressurePlatePushBeforeEvent

[deep arrow]

Cool but not something i see many following

[winged drift]

If you're using beta you can listen for BeforeChatSent, cancel that and resend message with changed nametag. Without beta not possible

[zinc breach]

yeah I know about that event but I was looking for some way to do it on stable bc beta api is a hassle

[cinder shadow]

There is no stable method. Why is beta api a hassle?

[remote oyster]

Probably fear of breaking changes.

[cinder shadow]

I no longer feel fear

[wicked girder]

Is it possible to prevent item entities from being stacked?

[nova flame]

not a chance

[mystic vector]

Anyone getting TypeError: value is not iterable when looping over items from afterEvents.entityItemDrop?

for example:

world.afterEvents.entityItemDrop.subscribe(data => {
  const { entity, items } = data;
  ...
  for (const itemEntity of items) {
    const itemComponent = itemEntity.getComponent('item');
    if (!itemComponent) continue;

    ...
  }
});```

[wary edge]

It's an array not an object.

[mystic vector]

?

[wary edge]

items.forEach

[mystic vector]

/**
 * @beta
 * Contains information related to an entity having dropped
 * items.
 */
export class EntityItemDropAfterEvent {
    private constructor();
    /**
     * @remarks
     * The entity that has dropped the items.
     *
     */
    readonly entity: Entity;
    /**
     * @remarks
     * The list of items the entity has dropped.
     *
     */
    readonly items: Entity[];
}```

the types say its a entity array?

[wary edge]

Yes...you do a forEach on an array.

[mystic vector]

whats wrong with for...of

[wary edge]

Why do you want to use for..of

[mystic vector]

thats what I always use? whats wrong with it

[wary edge]

Ok. 👍 Good luck.

[mystic vector]

wait what? you didnt help at all?

why am I getting value is not iterable? here: for (const itemEntity of items) {

@wary edge

I did this:

world.afterEvents.entityItemDrop.subscribe(data => {
  const { entity, items } = data;
  ...
  console.warn(`items: ${typeof items} and ${JSON.stringify(items)}`);
  for (const itemEntity of items) {
    const itemComponent = itemEntity.getComponent('item');
    if (!itemComponent) continue;

    ...
  }
});```

and got this:

[TESTING] [2026-02-12 14:03:56:517 WARN] [Scripting] items: object and [{"typeId":"minecraft:item","id":"-837518622717"}]
[TESTING] [2026-02-12 14:03:56:518 ERROR] [Scripting] TypeError: value is not iterable at <anonymous> (index.js:1250990)```

[wary edge]

Consider using forEach

[mystic vector]

Figured out the issue:

The items property on EntityItemDropAfterEvent is typed as Entity[] in the .d.ts, but at runtime Bedrock hands back a native C++ backed object that doesn't implement JavaScript's Symbol.iterator protocol.

However doing for (const itemEntity of Array.from(items)) { fixes it!

So minecraft has a issue here

I will report to navi

[granite badger]

world.afterEvents.entityItemDrop.subscribe(data => {
  const { entity, items } = data;
  console.warn(`items: ${typeof items} and ${JSON.stringify(items)}`);
  for (const itemEntity of items) {
    const itemComponent = itemEntity.getComponent('item');
    if (!itemComponent) continue;
  }
});

Do runCommand work? Is it safe? I use server 2.0.0 and for server ui 2.0.0

I run with these errors:

Ima make a post for the scripts themselves

Is it still runCommand or is it runCommandAsync??

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to get the item's NBT using a script?

[last latch]

i think they deleted async

last time i used scripts it wasnt there

[warped kelp]

Yeah, my friend was hallucinating again

[fallow carbon]

nbt isn't typically exposed to use at all let alone via the in game api so no 🙁

[pale terrace]

setLore support rawMessage but I cant get translate: to work, does anybody has any example?

[fallow carbon]

whats your rawtext message look like?

[pale terrace]

item.setLore([{translate: `translation.item`}]);```

[fallow carbon]

try ```
{rawtext:[{translate:translation.item}]}

[pale terrace]

still getting an error

[fallow carbon]

what error?

[pale terrace]

expected type: String | RawMessage

I will make a post about it

[cold grove]

That is ok

If it does not work probably RP related

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

[native osprey]

Hello again, question, can i have an item event and block event in the same main.js?

If so where should i put the block event?

[cold grove]

You can subscribe as much events you want

[native osprey]

Do you know where should the new event go?

[cold grove]

After line 14

I will send you some articles that might help you

[native osprey]

Please and thanks

[pale terrace]

its not, I copy pasted from lang and the console error says extected type: String | rawMessage[]

[cold grove]

Switch-Case

Callbacks

Scripting API Documentation -> use this as a reference and avoid using commands

[cold grove]

With the snippet they give you above?

It has to be an array

[{rawtext:[{translate:`translation.item`}]}]

[pale terrace]

I know

not working

can you try by yourself?

I think its a bug

[cold grove]

Im on my way

[pale terrace]

thank you

[cold grove]

@pale terrace works for me

You're setting back the item into the slot?

[pale terrace]

hmm

then I will take a look if I did something wrong

[pale terrace]

of course

well, thank you for confirm that is not a bug

[turbid delta]

idk where i can reliably report bugs but https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entityitemdropafterevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental does not include items in the equipment slots (armor and hotbar) whenever trigged by player death, only their inventory

[fair quarry]

How tf do I get the fox held item with scripts? Tried multiple things, I think I'm forgetting something, does someone know?

[stray spoke]

maybe getting "equippable" component, incase you haven't tried

[summer cloud]

with custom commands, using the customparamtype PlayerSelector, does it require the command sender to be operator?

[zinc breach]

I am just too lazy to keep updating all my manifests every time minecraft updates lol

[cinder shadow]

We got a new manifest option a few months ago to always be the latest beta

[warped kelp]

I'm fuming, my minecraft updated and important scripts don't work no more

[warm mason]

🤔

[buoyant canopy]

Can we get the target of an entity?
like which entity a mob is chasing?

[stray spoke]

Found a cool Library

[fair quarry]

Hell yeah

[slow walrus]

entity.target

[fair quarry]

did some testing, getComponents returned this

idk if I am forgetting something or we cant get foxes held items

[stray spoke]

I mean like fox.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment("Mainhand", new ItemStack("minecraft:diamond_sword"))

[warm mason]

equippable is only available for players

[stray spoke]

Ohh

[fair quarry]

damn

isnt there a workaround?

[warm mason]

well, /replaceitem command is all we have

[fair quarry]

:/ but replaceitem doesnt get the equipment ?

[warm mason]

well, u could use /testfor and hasitem entity selector

[stray spoke]

I guess only commands can

[fair quarry]

hmmmm, ill try that

[stray spoke]

Does Typescript automatically compiles on Minecraft script api

Or it needs some setup

Because I really need interfaces and rules to typing

[wary edge]

You need to transpile it yourself.

[stray spoke]

Ohh

So it only supports js?

[stray spoke]

I figured out I can use comments for typescript interfaces

[subtle cove]

too bad entityItemDrop doesnt have items from equippable

[fair quarry]

Soo my workaround was
Function in tick.json
Sets a tag containing what item does the fox have
And I do the rest with script

[native osprey]

hi, quick question the wording for a onstep event for a block how would it be? i tried looking at the guide but they only have for before placing events

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((initEvent) => {
  initEvent.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('magic:step_trap', {
    // onStepOn triggers when an entity stands on the block
    onStepOn: e => {
      // Example: Turn the block into air
      e.block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(MinecraftBlockTypes.Air));
      // Optional: Play a sound
      e.dimension.playSound("dig.stone", e.block.location);
    },
  });
});```

i tried making this and it works, kinda, it tells me that 'Block.permutation' is not defined

i just want a custom block to turn into air when stepped on

[open urchin]

i'd just do e.block.setType("air")

[native osprey]

replacing e.block.setPermutation?

[fair quarry]

yes

[native osprey]

it worked thanks, tho it still shows the message block.permutation is not defined even tho it works

[native osprey]

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((initEvent) => {
  initEvent.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('magic:step_trap', {
    // onStepOn triggers when an entity stands on the block
    onStepOff: e => {
      // Example: Turn the block into air
      e.block.setType("air")(BlockPermutation.resolve(e.block.setType("air")));
    },
  });
});```

i wonder if there is an easier way to define e.block.seType than using blockpermutation.resolve?

[slow walrus]

what the

[native osprey]

forget it

turns out i didnt needed to use blockpermutation at all

e.setType("air") was enough

the tutorial i followed just was overcomplicating things

  initEvent.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('magic:step_trap', {
    onStepOff: e => {
      e.block.setType("air");

    },
        onStepOn: e => {
        e.block.runCommand(`say hi`)
    },

  });
});```

little doubt, im trying to run both onStepOn/Off events, is this the correct form to link both events together? the console replies that 'onSteoOn' is not a function

[snow knoll]

Could it be possible to change getRotation into getViewDirection?

[woven loom]

?

[snow knoll]

Like, could I turn the vector 2 of getRotation into the vector 3 getViewDirection

[last latch]

I dont think so

from getRotation alone nope

[ripe dune]

Why not just use getViewDirection?

[snow knoll]

It was essentially just a what of question as an analogy for what I actually need

I don't need either

But

[ripe dune]

lol

ig its totally possible

how? idk

[snow knoll]

Basically, I have location points (that I'm not fully calculating correctly) and since I have the pitch and heading/yaw between them I was wondering if I could using just the x/y rotation, find point B from point A using the offset and rotation

[native osprey]

        e.block.runCommand(`say hi`);```

if i want a block to run a command when stepped on this would be correct?

[native osprey]

so... yeah...

[ripe dune]

should be

but afaik block itself doesnt have runCommand

[native osprey]

oh...

[ripe dune]

use block.dimension.runCommand

[native osprey]

oh it worked, thanks

[ripe dune]

yup

[native osprey]

sorry for being annoying, but what do i do if the console is returning "Item custom component 'magic:cast' is not being used by an item, but the item in question has "magic:cast": {} in the components?

[warm mason]

show code

[native osprey]

Right away

const ItemUSeComponent = {
    onUse(source) {
        source.runCommand("say hi");
    },
};

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ itemComponentRegistry }) => {
    itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("magic:cast", ItemUSeComponent);
});```

    "format_version": "1.20.50",
    "minecraft:item": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "magic:test",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "equipment"
            }
        },
        "components": {

            "minecraft:icon": "test",
            "magic:cast": {}

        }
    }
}```

[zinc breach]

wait what

tell me how to use it bro 😭💔

[last latch]

"beta" i think

[cinder shadow]

{
"module_name": "@minecraft/server",
"version": "beta"
},

[distant tulip]

??
It is very much possible
You know the vector length and it rotation, you can easily get vercor3 normalized to 1

[snow knoll]

How would I go about doing so

[stray spoke]

Does it work like ^2.5.0 to update automatically

Or I'm dumb to say this

[zinc breach]

is there an easier way to test player related functions

because I cant be getting 20 people on my world to test an addon bro 💔

like is there a command to spawn a dummy or something

[ripe dune]

using SimulatedPlayer from server-gametest ig

or just use mobs

or modifying player.json so You can spawn it

[native osprey]

so... any ideas?

[wary edge]

Your format version needs to be 1.21.80 or higher.

[native osprey]

hm, nope still having the same issue

[subtle cove]

try .60

[native osprey]

nope

[subtle cove]

i use .60 on block cus other version bugs

i havent tested for item tho

[native osprey]

i mean nope since i just tried and still the same bug

[subtle cove]

1.21.60

[zinc breach]

is there a way to make a custom command enum that uses world.getAllPlayers()? it gives me an error when I make it with that

[subtle cove]

playerselector

wdym error

[stray spoke]

Do we can store cache via js, instead of using ingame features like dynamic props, tags, scoreboard

[subtle cove]

Map, Set, any js data types

[stray spoke]

Ahh alright, it's also temporary right

[subtle cove]

resets every /reload, yeah

[stray spoke]

But it's enough

Yes thankyou

[zinc breach]

player selector?

wdym

[zinc breach]

something along the lines of you cant run it in restricted execution

[subtle cove]

PlayerSelector

[zinc breach]

oh this is param type?

so like this is how I use it for example?

also does it return an array of players if I do @a?

same with entities

[zinc breach]

okay this just doesnt work

it returns an object but I dont think its even a playe

player

like its not letting me use anything on it

.runCommand() .typeId .name all just dont work

[subtle cove]

it's same as getPlayers

so like Player[]

[zinc breach]

I figured out how it works with JSON.stringify()

it returns an array that has an object with id typeid or something

very weird to make it that though

const conversion = selectedP[0].id
        console.warn(JSON.stringify(selectedP))
        console.warn(conversion);
        let selectedPlayer
        for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
            if (player.id === conversion) {
                selectedPlayer = player;
                break;
            }
        }

[subtle cove]

id and typeId are like {id,typeId} kinda

it shows in JSON.stringify since it's ordinary property unlike getters/methods and such

[dense coral]

spending so much time in freaking index.d.ts to find what im looking for because docs are useless

[subtle cove]

whatcha need?

[dense coral]

It was just stuff on block permutations, lore, and whatnot

Docs are so bad that they don't give me anything

So I am resorting to looking at the index file

[subtle cove]

welp, can't blame them as i myself also dont document my stuff ;-;

having a handy object crawler can speed up the search in-game

[nova flame]

hello guys

what would be the best way to "ban" players from a server

using script api

just kicking them when they join or is there something i could do with say server-admin to cancel their join or somethign

[last latch]

Wdym vector length

[snow knoll]

Probably magnitude

[subtle cove]

Try canceling their packets using @minecraft/server-net

[nova flame]

can i get example

[subtle cove]

cant atm.
i hvent specifically focused on the wich packeta were sent during join

[distant tulip]

x = -sin(yaw) * cos(pitch)
y = -sin(pitch)
z = cos(yaw) * cos(pitch)

function rotationToDirection(rotation) {
    const pitch = rotation.x * Math.PI / 180;
    const yaw = rotation.y * Math.PI / 180;

    const x = -Math.sin(yaw) * Math.cos(pitch);
    const y = -Math.sin(pitch);
    const z =  Math.cos(yaw) * Math.cos(pitch);

    return { x, y, z };
}

[snow knoll]

Thanks, this is sincerely appreciated
Would you mind explaining how it works, or sending resources on how it works

[distant tulip]

i have no idea how to explain it more than that, it is just converting spherical coords to cartesian coords

[snow knoll]

Perfectly fine with me
Doesn't make it any less useful either way
Thank you

[distant tulip]

this explain it more
https://mathinsight.org/spherical_coordinates
ρ is the distance (1 in our case)
θ is x angle, ϕ is the y
as long as you know those three you can get the coords in a 3d space

[last latch]

isnt rotation body relative?

[distant tulip]

so is viewDirection?

you are getting a direction converted to a direction
nothing changed

[last latch]

I thought they wanted the world relative direction from the entity's head

[distant tulip]

you will need player head location in that case
but he asked for view direction

[last latch]

must have missed the "view direction" part then

[untold magnet]

is it possible to turn off sprinting?

[untold magnet]

ig this works

const {x:vX, z:vZ} = player?.getVelocity();
player?.applyImpulse({x:vX * -0.26, y:0, z:vZ * -0.26});```

[last latch]

isnt "isSprinting" writableß

my shift is broken

lol

[last latch]

?*

[untold magnet]

read-only typa thing

[untold magnet]

and this will only run when the player is sprinting,

[last latch]

indeed, that sucks :( it should be like crouching - writable

[last latch]

That will also work properly when they fall or get velocity from different actions?

[untold magnet]

idk about that "different actions", and falling seems to be just fine,

[last latch]

different actions like fishing hooks, entity knockbacks, pistons

[untold magnet]

look, im trying to make a stamina addon, and the only action that is messing me up is jumping, i just cant get it to work properly

[last latch]

Thats tricky. Have you tried adding effects when sprinting?

[untold magnet]

u know how the player exhaustion works, when u jump, that value will be increased, u just unable to do that using scripts

its either too tricky to deal with or just too buggy

[last latch]

yeah. with only pure addons, it will definetly be one of those things, if not both

effects, and velocity seem to be the only way

[untold magnet]

ill probably use that, and maybe just give the player blindness, that will prevent u from running or sprinting and feel too exhausted

[untold magnet]

i am using player.json in this addon, is there any possible way to detect when the entity jumps using the entity components?

[last latch]

No idea. Cant really tell you

[steep hamlet]

is "minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target" not enough for entity.target to work?

for me it returns undefined while the entity is chasing me

[distant tulip]

i don't think entity.target even work

[ripe dune]

afaik script api can't expose target of an entity

[round bone]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1264459228521959425

what i really need to do is making the player unable to sprint

[woven loom]

search fromAngle in this channel i have provided a func for it

[native osprey]

that's the version im using

[weary umbra]

Bruh why is getWeather use beta API but setWeather not

[fallow rivet]

@mojang

[warm mason]

it's minecraft, bro

what did u think?

[weary umbra]

Thats so dumb getWeather is more helpfull then setWeather

[warm mason]

class Weather {
    static #weatherMap = new WeakMap();
    constructor(dimension) {
        this.#dimension = dimension;
    }
    #dimension

    /** @type {import('@minecraft/server').WeatherType} */
    get id() { return world.getDynamicProperty('weather:' + this.dimension.id) || 'Clear'; }

    /** @type {import('@minecraft/server').Dimension} */
    get dimension() { return this.#dimension; }

    isRaining() {
        return ['Rain','Thunder'].includes(this.id);
    }

    /**
     * @param {import('@minecraft/server').Dimension} dimension
     * @returns {Weather}
     */
    static get(dimension) {
        return this.#weatherMap.get(dimension) || (this.#weatherMap.set(dimension, new Weather(dimension))).get(dimension);
    }
}
world.afterEvents.weatherChange.subscribe(data => {
    world.setDynamicProperty('weather:' + world.getDimension(data.dimension).id, data.newWeather);
});

U can use this

[weary umbra]

Thanks

[thorn flicker]

I did something similar awhile back

[floral copper]

guys so for context i wanna make an entity have 2 modes in the same boss phase, precision( normal ) mode and withering( buffed ) mode. so in precision it has 3 abilities, whch it can spam and it can gain "rot stacks" and continue till it has 15, once it has 15 rot stacks, it enters the state of withering mode where its given certain buffs for 30 seconds and the stacks revert to 0. im using the modes as seperate component groups, but i have no idea on how to make a system where it can do the stack thing and mode switching.

i jus need to make a script for the rot stack part

others are taken care of

pls ping me if anyone has a solution

[warm mason]

well, it also depends on your code, but in general, u could use WeakMap and some world events to detect when the entity uses the abilities and with WeakMap store the amount of uses and do something when the amount is greater than 15

but I need to see ur code, If u want me to explain it in more detail

[warm mason]

I mean the entity.json

[floral vessel]

why is this returning undefined? I have verified that world_wheel pos is the correct coordinate and there is a block less than 2 blocks below

entity.dimension.getBlockFromRay(world_wheel_pos, {x:0,y:-1,z:0}, {includeLiquidBlocks:false, includePassableBlocks:false, maxDistance:2});

[warm mason]

maxDistance actually works really weird, try increasing the maxDistance and test for the actual distance manually

[wary edge]

Is the block like, right below it?

Where is th pos? in the corner block? Center block?

[floral vessel]

yes

the pos is just some arbitrary point

[wary edge]

I have some questions about using block from ray to get a block right below, but I digress.

[floral vessel]

I'm trying to get the distance to the surface, not the actual block

so I have to use a raycast for that

[wary edge]

What, math.random() blah blah?

[floral vessel]

no, it's tied to an entity position

[warm mason]

🍿 👀

[floral vessel]

even setting the max distance to 50 doesn't work

[warm mason]

Hmmm

[warm mason]

Can u show full code?

[floral vessel]

I'm trying to make this entity rotate to look like it's driving down for reference

        let left = {x:-forward.z, y:forward.y, z:forward.x};
        // js lack of operator overloading drives me insane
        // forward*wheelpos.z + left*wheelpos.x + up*wheelpos.y + entity.location
        let world_wheel_pos = {
            x:left.x*wheel_pos.x + forward.x*wheel_pos.z + entity.location.x,
            y:wheel_pos.y + entity.location.y,
            z:left.z*wheel_pos.x + forward.z*wheel_pos.z + entity.location.z
        };
        //world.sendMessage(JSON.stringify(world_wheel_pos));
        let hit = entity.dimension.getBlockFromRay(world_wheel_pos, {x:0,y:-1,z:0}, {includeLiquidBlocks:false, includePassableBlocks:false, maxDistance:2});

I think theres some examples in #1072983602821861426 or #1046947779118895114

[warm mason]

I recommend using DimensionTypes in case we ever getting custom dimensions... or mojang just can add another one

[warm mason]

Idk 🤷‍♂️

[floral vessel]

only some trash

[wary edge]

What?

[floral vessel]

pretty sure that one doesn't stay tilted if you leave it to sit on a slope

oh

facelocation is relative to the block duh

weird

looks like the molang var is only being set the first time I play the anim

[floral vessel]

apparently you have to use the command

[floral copper]

I seeeee. Willl send in a bit ( i jus woke up )

[sharp elbow]

The trouble I've had is the transition being cached for the given controller it is defined with.

I suppose you could solve this with multiple controllers (like one defined as ""+Math.random()), but that's not a good idea. I bet making 20*N controllers every second would make the client cry after a while

May be better to synchronize this data with properties

[floral vessel]

yeah, I think I'll have to do that, it's really janky rn

[warm jungle]

is there even a shortcut to content logs?

like key to press to open the content log :\

[floral vessel]

ctrl + h

[warm mason]

Line 90, Entity.hasTag is a function, comparing it with a string will always return false, u need to call the function and pass the string as an argument. For example:

if (entity.hasTag("stunned")) {
  // some code
}

I'll check the rest a bit later

BTW, what app do u use to code? And are u coding on PC or on mobile?

[buoyant canopy]

it's in beta 🫠

[warm mason]

So, next... line 29, movement component doesn't have setVelocity method and this try/catch is basically useless, it would be better to use it with dimension.spawnEntity, because it can cause some errors..

and line 22 also useless

line 40-42, instead of spawning particles 10 times, just increase the amount of particles in .json

[warm mason]

same with 64-66

line 68, the attack isn't limited by radius

line 71, use entity.dimension instead of world.getDimension

and

for what you want u should do something like this:

const map = new WeakMap();

function triggerrandomability(entity) {
    // other code...

    const number = map.get(entity) || 0;
    if (number < 15) map.set(entity, number+1);
    else {
      map.set(entity, 0);
      // code...
    }
}

[summer path]

does anyone know how i could add a way to activate this when a player right clicks

[slender aurora]

Does anybody know a good tutorial, where it is explained how to work with the classes, their properties and how those interact togehter?
I tried finding out myself, with the microsoft learn page and their references, but I cannot even get a consol.warn, after a player interacted with any block...

[warm mason]

do u mean js classes themselves or the API classes?

[slender aurora]

the API classes

[warm mason]

well, look, there is a documentation -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/minecraft-server?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

Basically, you can use anything from there, that is, import everything that is there. But in order for you to use a class, it must have static methods or a constructor, and not all have these. For example, ItemStack or EntityTypes can be used independently... But still, most of it is provided through the world and system objects, where you use their properties or methods to get objects of other classes, such as Entity, Player, Dimension, etc.

[warm mason]

for example, sending player a message when it joins the world:

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(data => {
  if (data.initialSpawn) data.player.sendMessage('Welcome!');
});

[slender aurora]

I think I'm starting to understand

[warm mason]

Here we import world, so we get its afterEvents property of type WorldAfterEvents, which has a playerSpawn property of type PlayerSpawnAfterEventSignal, which has a subscribe method that takes a function as an argument. This function will be called by Minecraft when a player spawns (joins or respawns), and pass data of type PlayerSpawnAfterEvent as an argument to this function, so we get a Player instance that just spawned and the initialSpawn property to find out whether it was a respawn or it just joined

It would be good if you also read about how classes work in JS

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes

[slender aurora]

So if I wanted to get a message, when a player interactes with a block, I would start with this:

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(data => {
if ...
}

[warm mason]

yep

[warm mason]

but there is one point with playerInteractWithBlock, if interaction with this block does not give anything (for example, interacting with a stone), then afterEvents will not be called, but you can use beforeEvents for this

[warm mason]

but if u are going to use beforeEvents or use V2 scripts u should know about the privileges system

[slender aurora]

behind the if statement:
(data.block)

Because the playerInteractWithBlock has this property?

[slender aurora]

Oh man, okay thank you. Very very much

[warm mason]

?

well, yeah, PlayerInteractWithBlockAfterEvent has a block property, that gives u info about the block, the player interacting with

[slender aurora]

I just saw, that there is an example of this on the website about the privileges. Thank you, I will try to gether more knowledge, now that I know, where I need to head☺️

I did try tht but decided to keep it as it is since i use those particles a lot for mobs/blocks of same biome

I got this code, but if I interact with the block, I get the message 5 times, instead of just one. What could I do to prevent that?

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((data) => {

    data.cancel = true;
    const Ort = data.block.location;
    return world.sendMessage("Dirt 2 Interaction");
  }

its not really an error

cuz

header and label are included in formValues as null/no input

i'd recommend doing

response.formValues.filter((v) => v != null)
```and```js
const [text, index, num, bool, etc] = response.formValues.filter((v) => v != null)

Im trying to make something where a players inventory gets cloned to a chest and when you change the chest inventory it syncs to the player (yes ik this has been done before), the issue is when I try to grab an item in the chest for some items it works just fine but some of them are locked in the slot, if I click it at all it just goes back to the slot and wont let me do anything with it, this is an issue Ive seen in some other addons, why is this happening? is there a fix?

This is my code so far (yes its horribly written dont judge 🙏)

    let lastInventory = []
    system.runInterval(() => {
        let playerInvFormatted = []
        const player = world.getPlayers()[0]

        const dimension = player.dimension
        const chestBlock = dimension.getBlock({x: -38, y: -60, z: -14})

        const playerInv = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container
        const chestInv = chestBlock.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container
        for (let i = 0; i < playerInv.size; i++) {
            const item = playerInv.getItem(i)

            if (item && item.typeId) {
                playerInvFormatted.push({
                    slot: i,
                    id: item.typeId,
                    quantity: item.amount
                })
            }
        }
        // console.warn(JSON.stringify(playerInvFormatted) !== JSON.stringify(lastInventory))
        // console.warn(JSON.stringify(lastInventory))
        // console.warn(JSON.stringify(playerInvFormatted))
        if (JSON.stringify(playerInvFormatted) !== JSON.stringify(lastInventory)) {
            for (let i = 0; i < playerInv.size; i++) {
                const item = playerInv.getItem(i)
                let itemSet
                if (item) {
                    itemSet = item.clone()
                }

                if (i < 9) {
                    chestInv.setItem(i, itemSet)
                } else if (i < 18) {
                    chestInv.setItem(i + 18, itemSet)
                } else if (i < 27) {
                    chestInv.setItem(i, itemSet)
                } else if (i < 36) {
                    chestInv.setItem(i - 18, itemSet)
                } else {
                    chestInv.setItem(i, itemSet)
                }
            }
        }
        lastInventory = [...playerInvFormatted]
    }, 50)

[hidden perch]

okay thanks will try

[hidden perch]

what is the difference between using typescript and using javascript

[remote oyster]

Because TypeScript knows the expected types of variables, parameters, and return values, your editor can catch many mistakes while you’re writing the code, before you ever run it. For example, it can warn you if you pass a string where a number is expected, or if you try to access a property that doesn’t exist.

With plain JavaScript, many of these issues usually show up only when the program runs (unless you use additional tools like linters or heavy testing). TypeScript code is then compiled into normal JavaScript, which is what actually runs.

Typescript can help to speed up your ability to write more efficient code by avoiding common mistakes typically found in a JavaScript setting lacking additional tooling.

In short:

TypeScript is JavaScript with a type system. It helps your editor warn you about a lot of mistakes before you run the code, instead of discovering them later when something breaks.

Highly powerful tooling and definitely recommended

[hidden perch]

ohhh okay thanks for the answer i really appreciate it 💙🙏🏻🛐

            .textField("Input2", "Type The number you like");

        menu.show(player).then((response) => {
            if (response.canceled) return;
            const [input1, input2] = response.formValues.filter((v) => v !== null);
            const inputText = input1;
            const inputNum = input2;

            world.setDynamicProperty("text", inputText);
            world.setDynamicProperty("num", inputNum);

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {

Neither custom items nor vanilla items are applying setLore. Anyone know why? Saw another addon doing the same thing and it works fine (API 2.5.0).

😮‍💨

Bugrock...

[warm mason]

setLore works, but u also need to set item back, like this:

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
    ev.itemStack.setLore(["Test 1", "Test 2", "Test 3"]);
    ev.source.getComponent('equippable').setEquipment('Mainhand', ev.itemStack);

}

i have absolutely no clue why, but data is just undefined when i close the form

and i cannot figure it out

[warm mason]

what does the Debug.info show?

undefined or something like {}?

because if it's the second option, then it's okay because I don't think ModalFormResponse or any FormResponse can be stringified normally

            }
            retry()
        })
    }```

i have the timeout set to 1s and it just holds it until the server responds.

this is NOT the behavior i want, it should timeout as per the documentation.

    /**

     * Amount of time, in seconds, before the request times out and
     * is abandoned.
     *
     * This property can be edited in early-execution mode.
     *
     */
    timeout: number;

NOTE: both setting req.timeout directly and calling req.setTimeout have the same behavior

Test in your world, tweak as needed. Not as effective without doing what you want to avoid unfortunately.

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

// A map of playerId → recent click timestamps
const clickTimes = new Map();

// Subscribe to *after input* events
world.afterEvents.playerButtonInput.subscribe((event) => {
    const { player, button, newButtonState } = event;

    // Only count jump presses
    if (button === InputButton.jump && newButtonState === "pressed") {
        const id = player.id;
        if (!clickTimes.has(id)) {
            clickTimes.set(id, []);
        }
        clickTimes.get(id).push(Date.now());
    }
});

// Every tick - compute CPS
system.runInterval(() => {
    const now = Date.now();

    // Update each player’s CPS
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        const id = player.id;
        const list = clickTimes.get(id) || [];

        // Remove timestamps older than 1 second
        while (list.length && now - list[0] > 1000) {
            list.shift();
        }

        const cps = list.length;
        player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`CPS: ${cps}`);

        // Save back the trimmed list
        clickTimes.set(id, list);
    }
}, 1);

You could definitely update that to cache world.getPlayers() and update that cache through the join and leave event to reduce unnecessary API calls. Would make it more efficient.

There's no InputButton.attack, only jump and sneak

[runic maple]

.

Guys how do you locate structures with scripts?

Instead of checking chunk by chunk or something

[remote oyster]

Valid, I saw that when looking and still did it but in either case it can be replaced. It's not as effective without doing what they want to avoid.

[nova flame]

world.afterEvents.itemCompleteUse.subscribe((ev) => {
    const player = ev.source;
    
    if (!ev.itemStack || ev.itemStack.typeId == "cosmos:health_fruit") {
        player.addEffect("instant_health", 1, { amplifier: 2, showParticles: false });
        ev.itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:cooldown").startCooldown(player);
    }
    
});

why does it wait until the eating is done to apply the effect but it starts the cooldown on the start of the eating

[warm mason]

minecraft itself starts cooldown when u start using item with cooldown component

[nova flame]

any way around?

[warm mason]

idk

[zinc breach]

whats the order of world.getAllPlayers based on? is it just random or does it put them in the array based on who joined first or like alphabetical order

[marble sigil]

just use getEquipment paired wirh getComponent

[open urchin]

It's probably in the order players joined but if you're relying on the order definitely being the order that players joined you could create your own array and update it using player spawn/leave events

[zinc breach]

I would have to test this then ig

is there a way to rework this or like try to track when people use an armor trim on a chestplate because I really dont want to have to make like 20 different custom chestplates 😭

this is like the only documentation I found on armor trims so

[runic maple]

Prolly distance to world origin , I think dimension get entities was that

[native osprey]

i made it work, turns out the wiki is incomplete, apart of just put wiki:customcomponent, you have to put it inside a "minecraft:suctom_components: []"

                "magic:cast"
            ],```

so you have something like this

this in the wiki is incomplete

having that solved...

    "format_version": "1.21.60",
    "minecraft:item": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "magic:test",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "equipment"
            }
        },
        "components": {
            "minecraft:custom_components": [
                "magic:cast"
            ],
            "minecraft:max_stack_size": 64,
            "minecraft:icon": "test",
            
            "minecraft:cooldown": {
    "category": "magic:cooldown",
    "duration": 1.0,
    "type": "use"
}

        }
    }
}``` 

i managed to make the cooldown work but it doesn't have the sidebar animation of like when you use an ender pearl or spear

[open urchin]

no, the wiki just uses the most modern format version
you're using an old (pre-1.21.90) format version which requires the minecraft:custom_components component

[weary umbra]

Doesn't work for mobs

[native osprey]

Well it would have been good to know that beforehand

They should at least put that on the component page saying

"This is for post 1.21.90 version"

[open urchin]

If you're following the wiki for blocks and items, you should be using the latest format version, it's at the top of almost every page
I do usually include when the last versioned change for a feature was though, I might add it as part of some item doc updates I'm working on

[native osprey]

anyways changing subject, is there a component to make the cooldown bar animation to be displayed?

[open urchin]

There was a fix mentioned recently in a 1.26.10 changelog that might be what you're talking about
https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/43005760577293-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-26-10-20#:~:text=Cooldowns on custom items now visualize correctly

[native osprey]

oh

[open urchin]

you might have to wait until it releases

[native osprey]

i was gonna wait anyways

part of the mod is new animals and magic charged variations, so i need the new babies models for that

[fallow rivet]

?

[spice finch]

Does anyone know how to detect equipping armor without checking every tick?

[warm mason]

not possible with scripts

[open urchin]

you could limit your checks to only run after the inventory item change event or whatever it's called
wouldn't work for dispensing armour though

[spice finch]

Ah ok, thanks!

[naive agate]

inventoryChanged event

[naive agate]

^ didnt see this

oop

[warm mason]

it doesn't detect equipment changes

[naive agate]

it doesnt however the armor will have to of been in the inventory for it to of been equipment UNLESS it was equipped via dispensers as mentioned by quazchick.

unless you mean it isnt triggered even when right clicking armor?

[woeful vine]

Yo, I am having this issue where I cannot make my chatSend.subscribe thing to work...

That's it

🙂‍↕️

@last latch @wary edge guys?

[wary edge]

Ah, right, anyways change it from 2.5.0 to beta

[woeful vine]

How do I do that?

[wary edge]

Open editor -> backspace 5 characters -> type beta

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-rigby-rigby-the-cat-rigby-cat-gif-12777307700590236451

[woeful vine]

Editor?

What editor?

[wary edge]

What are you using to make add-ons?

[woeful vine]

bridge

but

Nono

I am just scripting with visual

like, old fashion scripting

[wary edge]

I have not used bridge so I have no idea.

[woeful vine]

No no

I am not using brdige

I am just using visual studio

[wary edge]

Then open visual studio, open your manifest.json and change it from 2.5.0 to beta

[woeful vine]

This???

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[woeful vine]

Aight

Done

Let me try

That's the error now

@wary edge

[wary edge]

Now open a post and post your code there.

[woeful vine]

Done

Hi everyone I'm looking for help with scripting my behavior and ressource's pack

[zinc breach]

is setArmorTrim supposed to be used with an ItemStack?

[cold grove]

Could you be more specific?

Do you mean loot table items?

[zinc breach]

no just a normal itemstack

like on an itemUse afterEvent

[warm mason]

u can't set armor trim with scripts, u can only do it with loot tables and then generate the loot table in scripts

[zinc breach]

what 😭

thats so lame

what I'm trying to make is a command that sets the armor youre holding to a specific armor trim

so youre telling me I have to make an entity with a loot table for each trim and use the loot table thing in the script then clear their chestplate and spawn the entity at their position then kill it? 💀

[warm mason]

u don't need to make entity and kill it, u only need loot table

and then just generate it

through APIs

but yeah

u need a lot of loot tables

[zinc breach]

do I just need a loot table for one diamond chestplate then I use setArmorTrim based on what they have

bc I'm probably just gonna make diamond and netherite

[warm mason]

yeah

[zinc breach]

does this work for custom armor too

[warm mason]

should work

[sudden nest]

Hello, just wondering if

Anyone have entityDatabase class (using structures) or script i can use? 😅

[hidden perch]

you mean store entityDatabase by structure command?

[sudden nest]

Like similar to this https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1252014916496527380 but for entities

Instead of item or data.

[warm mason]

just make it yourself

[sudden nest]

[harsh robin]

@sudden nest

i might have one

lemme check

[sudden nest]

Ohhh, thank you in advance! 👀

[harsh robin]

i dont have one

[sudden nest]

I think, just set, delete, and get is enough

[harsh robin]

make one

[sudden nest]

Ah sadge😔 , thanks for trying though

[sudden nest]

I'm procastinating

Need to relax my back (oldzie @ 23y)

[harsh robin]

unc

[hidden perch]

could someone check my dataModule out?

cuz im making this to share with my friends or any other people as if they needed

[lucid dust]

is there any way to force an entity to become aggressive towards a target?

[warm mason]

all u can is use entity.json, scripts can't directly do it

When i load a v26 world with minecraft/server api 2.4 sometimes sometimes it tells me that that version is unavailable

But just sometimes

[sly current]

tadasecake

it's very annoying help

[cold grove]

Someone has the same issue?

[buoyant canopy]

I might have found a substitute solution for both of my problems where entity.getEquipment doesn't work, and entity.getViewDirection being bugged

I needed entity.getEquipment to get the item an entity is holding, modify its durability and return it, i can check if the mob doesn't have a certain dynamic property and run a series of commands to determine exactly which type and the durability of the item it is holding, for the durability i check if it's in the lower or upper half of the item durability range and keep halfing until i get the exact durability, and once i do, i can give the mob a dynamic property that will be in sync with the item's durability (when i want to damage the tool, i can just decrement the dynamic property, and re give the mob the same item with the new data value

I needed entity.getViewDirection, so get the block the mob is looking at, instead i can make the mob do a combination of BFS and flood fill to find the first match of the desired block that is within the mob line of sight and make the mob look at it

[wary edge]

I havent an issue with getViewDirection being bugged.

[woeful vine]

Hey!!!

Do someone know how to have multiple .js files working?

Cuz I can only get my main.js file working

[thorn flicker]

you have to import the other files to main.

[woeful vine]

And how do I do that?

[thorn flicker]

using import

[woeful vine]

Do I get to import the hole script?

[woeful vine]

I am new to this, sorry, but how do I express that

like

import from './script.js'; ??

[thorn flicker]

you can do that, or import specific things from the script if its exported

[woeful vine]

I want the hole script to work

I just import from './script.js'; and that's it?

[thorn flicker]

import './file.js'

[woeful vine]

thankssss

[haughty kernel]

Is there any way to prevent players from moving items in their inventory without locking the items, like using a beforeEvents for the playerInventoryItemChange?

[onyx locust]

is it possible to import script files from other addons if i specify the right folder?

import { Lang } from '../../Other BP/scripts/main.js';

[cold grove]

No

[onyx locust]

why

[buoyant canopy]

it is bugged for entities other than the player #1067535608660107284 message

[warm mason]

all u can is to swam items back after they were swapped by player

[wary edge]

I camt recreate.

[buoyant canopy]

the bug isn't specific to getViewDirection, it seems that entities just don't face the direction they are facing try /particle minecraft:basic_smoke_particle ^^^2 you will see that the mob is looking in a different direction from where the particle is spawning

[wary edge]

Never had this issue.

[buoyant canopy]

#1067535608660107284 message

[warm mason]

I remember having a bug where Entity.isValid() would show false even when it was right in front of me, and it was an app bug... it was a pirated version of mc tho, but I think you might have a bug in the app itself. Try doing this on a different device or reinstalling Minecraft, maybe

[wary edge]

It seems all these are issues only you have had. I have never seen anyone else had this issue.

[buoyant canopy]

that is interesting, i have the game from the ms store tho?

[warm mason]

It was just a guess that the problem might be with the app itself. As I said, try testing it on other devices

[buoyant canopy]

nope, also happening on mobile

/execute as @e[type=!player] at @s anchored eyes run particle minecraft:basic_smoke_particle ^^^2

Why is the game resting my settings every time?

[buoyant canopy]

the item.data selector does not accept ranges 😭
I don't know why i thought it does
/execute if entity @s[hasitem={item=golden_hoe, location=slot.weapon.mainhand, data= 0..16}]

i am not running 2032 commands to get the durability of a netherite tool

[final ocean]

How to make fishing system like fish it in builda??

[round bone]

ScriptAPI environment (QuickJS) is only locked to scripts/ folder for security reasons. You cannot import outside of your add-on, and that's why libraries are also soft-capped

[distant tulip]

made a scuffed system, not in a usable sense you do need to get the mining speed for every block and tool somehow

used block hit and a scuffed work around, swing event might have been better for this lol
