Script API General

[granite cape]

Simple

[granite cape]

ah i forgot to parse the raw

[dusky flicker]

seriously, i dont get why every 'database' on minecraft are simple wrappers over objects and basic dynamic properties

[hushed ravine]

Does Bedrock support source maps?

[frosty yoke]

maybe because there’s no other way to store data

[granite cape]

true

[dusky flicker]

i mean a db is way complex than that

[granite cape]

idk

[dusky flicker]

using dynamic properties aint the problem, the thing is that its literally just a wrapper over the builtins functions

[granite cape]

wrappers are made to make things easier but only for certain things

[remote oyster]

Mine is rather complex lol.

[cinder shadow]

Anyone else have the onPlayerInteract custom component just not work if trying to interact on the top face of the block?

It just completely fails

custom Component*

Mk, it fails while holding an item in your hand

Yet another system where I am somehow the only person to stumble into a bug I guess

Interesting. the actual world after event for playerInteractWithBlock has the same bug

Even though the startup custom component stuff should technically be a "before" event

The before event does correctly detect interaction on the top of the block

oh no 💀

why the hell do I have this in my script

[lyric kestrel]

Works for me 😅

[lyric kestrel]

Is it working now?

[cinder shadow]

Yes, I don't know what the reason I added that line is, it would have been from at least 1 year ago

[lyric kestrel]

Ah lol

[granite cape]

bored time

[warm mason]

what is this?

I mean, why?

[cinder shadow]

Is that basically a double negative?

[lyric kestrel]

It turns it into a boolean value

[cinder shadow]

It's already returning a boolean value

[lyric kestrel]

I mean like this

[lyric kestrel]

No, it's returning an int

v is a vector3 type return.
And he's checking if the entity is moving at all, which using the !! turns it into a boolean return istead of an integer return

[granite cape]

thats return boolean

[cinder shadow]

It's pretty much pointless imo

[lyric kestrel]

yes

[silver agate]

Is there one way to get the player hunger value via scripts?

const hunger = player.getComponent('minecraft:hunger')?.currentValue;```
like that ^?

[cinder shadow]

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

[silver agate]

So just

const hunger = player.getComponent('minecraft:player.hunger')?.currentValue;```
?

[last latch]

that is a weird way to name it lmao

no idea why they added "player."

[silver agate]

Yep

Maybe to avoid people confusing it?

[cinder shadow]

Exhaustion is referenced the same way

[last latch]

I wouldnt really confuse it with anything tbh unless there would be a second but differently working hunger attribute for entities

[wary edge]

One might think the hunger effect perhaps or it's deeply tied into old mcpe code nbt.

[granite cape]

It just makes the result clearer, but it's not actually necessary.

[silver agate]

Yep, it did work

[last latch]

my dumbass thought it returned the velocity axis

i guess that was wayy too much c++ learning in one week

i need to get back to the real and better language

[pale terrace]

what cause Loaded do in entitySpawn afterEvent

maybe the same as entityLoad afterEvent?

[wary edge]

Loaded doesnt work if I recall.

[pale terrace]

oh, im not in that server

[mystic harness]

how to completely stop/revoke mayfly even if a player is flying?

[cinder shadow]

Anyone know what actually triggers the soulCampfire cause?

because the soul campfire doesn't 😭

[subtle cove]

presumably, fireTick...

[cinder shadow]

well that would just be whenever the player is on fire

[unique apex]

this is a hopeless shot in the dark, but in january of 2022 I was in a server that allowed players to transform into various mobs, using their animations when appropriate, and seemingly all their components as well, AND the camera was based on the height of your mob, which I thought it was impossible to change the height of your camera. and as far as I know, the owner of this server did each mob with just a handful of command blocks does anyone have any knowledge or insight on this, or does someone know if this is tech that was only possible in an older version?

[mystic harness]

anyone

[round bone]

Not sure, but if removing ability does not resolve it, then there's no solution

[glacial widget]

Any tools that can help find memory leaks?

[unreal saddle]

Does anyone know if it's possible to detect the dyed color of my custom entity?

[last latch]

Someone said the vsc debugger could help

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scripting/developer-tools?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[lyric kestrel]

Yes.
It's amazing 😍

[hybrid island]

guys i made a custom command its a /tpa command bassicly /tpa Playername its done using the custom commands registry but when a de-opped player uses it it gives this error
<insufficient permissions for selector expansion> how do i fix it

[worthy comet]

Do you change the permission to any?

[open urchin]

It's a bug, non-operators can't use selectors

[hybrid island]

Oh

[green bison]

How do people sniff packets on realms? Do they use a bot to listen?

[fallow minnow]

yes

[lyric kestrel]

woops

[sterile epoch]

does anyone know when they're gonna fix the insufficient permission for selector expansion bs?

[true isle]

Idk where to ask this but do blocks placed with a scatter feature tick?

[noble pecan]

i believe so

[weary merlin]

I was wondering if there was a way to detect if beta api is enabled with scripts

[distant tulip]

use function to add a tag/score, make the script remove the tag/score, and with a small delay check with function the tag/score

if the toggle is not on the script wont run

[weary merlin]

ok thank you

[true isle]

is their anyway to place trees that simulated a feature using a script the same way you would a normal tree feature? idk how else to ask the question. most people just use either a feature or structure, but im trying with a script

[hybrid island]

guys how to kick a player with no name

[cinder shadow]

Can anyone tell why this is somehow adding the previous items lore to this new item?

return inventory.addItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:glass_bottle', 1));

[warm mason]

maybe it's because u used ContainerSlot.setLore?

[cinder shadow]

is that locked to the container slot?

[warm mason]

Idk, it's just a guess

[cinder shadow]

oh wait, wrong crafting system

nope, it's item.setLore

Alright, figured out the bug

If the consumable item that is being removed has a new item placed in the exact same slot, that new item will inherit the consumed items lore

now how to fix this without making it look weird

Seems easiest fix is to just do a runTimeout and add it on the next tick

[remote oyster]

If it's a realm, there isn't much you can do. If it's a server, you will need to utilize the server-net API and server-admin API to rate limit the packets your server receives. You basically need to monitor the packets coming in, and decide what to do about it.

[worldly pier]

hello, i have a question rq, whats that of "discovered package with uuid...," when i load an addon with scripts , i want to get rid of that, is it possible

[knotty plaza]

Reduce your "GUI Log Level" setting to "Info" or "Warn"

[worldly pier]

thanks

[runic quartz]

How can I cancel the item drop action? Similar to how it is done on The Hive (the animation plays only when ctrl+q is pressed, not the usual q). I tried lock_in_slot and lock_in_inventory, everything would be fine, I can close the item information with showTags=false, but I can't cancel popUp in any way.

[warm mason]

do u mean cancel the animation or cancel the droping itself?

[runic quartz]

dropping itself
for the hub

[warm mason]

then u need to set itemLockMode of all items in player's inventory to "Inventory"

[runic quartz]

I'm not quite satisfied with this, as there's a popup when I try to drop an item. If it’s possible to remove it, that would be great, but no matter how hard I tried, I haven't been able to completely get rid of this notorious notification.

I'm looking for something lightweight, just like on The Hive or CubeCraft, where you can attempt to drop an item, but it immediately returns to your inventory, effectively canceling the action.

I experimented with world.afterEvents.playerInventoryItemChange, but the item’s return was visible to other players; it wasn't instantaneous.

[worldly pier]

you could try something with world.afterEvents.entityspawn

[pale terrace]

Hey! if I set a dynamicProperty to an entity and then the entity is removed, the dynamicProperty automatically removes or I have to remove it manually?

[wary edge]

Correct.

[pale terrace]

Perhaps the property is cached?

[pale terrace]

1st or 2nd? xD

[warm mason]

U can't even remove it manually after entity is removed

[pale terrace]

I know, I can do it before the entity is removed

[warm mason]

but u don't need to, all info about some entity will be deleted if the entity is removed

[pale terrace]

Alright! thank you!

I knew that dynamicProperties are stored in some kind of cache in the world, that's why I was asking

[cold grove]

They are stored in the world data, "cache" means temporary data

[warm mason]

Yeah, but they still use cache for dps

probably...

[cold grove]

Idk, i always cache in my side dps just in case

Now i'm curious

[warm mason]

I just don't think they read the file with dps every time u use getDynamicProperty

[cold grove]

I will not be suprised if they do

[pale terrace]

yeah, it doesnt mean it removes if the entity doesnt exist, buy Im glad it is in this case

[worldly pier]

i would say that its better to use the world.setDynamicProperty() instead. But i think that has also problems

[haughty kernel]

What do you think is the best method for me to retrieve information about one item in a specific inventory slot for a player?

[worldly pier]

wouldn't it be? "'InventoryContainer.getItem(slotIndex)"'

[cold grove]

There is just one way

[thorn flicker]

well there's also getSlot().getItem() lol

[marble sigil]

How can I check when a mob spawned? Or its "age" (time since spawn)

[thorn flicker]

entitySpawn afterEvent

[marble sigil]

ik that, but I'm looking for some kind of direct way, like just entity.age, as that requires tracking stuff.
Ig it's the only way

[subtle cove]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server.EntityItemDropAfterEvent-1.html
but this only works with items thatre dropped from player's 'inventory' component

[wary edge]

Actually, this also triggers for loot dropped by mobs.

[subtle cove]

Was expecting it to include items from equippable, but only triggered on items from 'inventory' component

[wary edge]

Ive been using it to cancel certain loot drops.

[distant tulip]

Does it trigger from other drops

Dispenser and droper

[remote oyster]

I've had to listen to breaks, then check for items in that location, and remove them. Not positive if there is a more effective way of doing it other than filling the block with a container as air, but that's a question of whether or not someone desires to do it that way.

[wary edge]

No, we'd need BlockItemDrop for that.

[remote oyster]

I remember there being something in the API a while back that allowed a block to be broken and not drop items but I'm not sure if I'm tripping on this memory and I'm wrong or if it was later removed lol.

My memory is rough 😔

[magic summit]

its impressive that you don't forget to talk to minors on here

[distant tulip]

Yeah

[magic summit]

got your priorities straight I see

[distant tulip]

Here we go again with this shit

[wary edge]

@magic summit buddy, please stop.

[magic summit]

you cannot defend this guy

hes a big time creep

[wary edge]

I dont see in the rules where you are allowed to harass people.

[magic summit]

I don't see it in the rules where grooming is allowed too

[wary edge]

And pray tell, is the grooming in the room with us?

[magic summit]

you are 40 talking to minors

do not even try to compare me to you 😭😭

[sly valve]

What is happening?

[sly valve]

Yo Minato, whats happening?

[remote oyster]

Drama from a random. I wouldn't be bothered by it. Just a wannabe hacker that doesn't like me because I combat them lol.

[sly valve]

Alright but why did we went from Wannabe hacker/script kid to groomer?

[remote oyster]

Because he was attempting to taint my name.

One of which I'm not concerned about.

[sly valve]

I see, but it seems like he isnt being taken for serious anyways

[remote oyster]

He isn't. You missed the drama the other day. He wasn't taken well by the community here lol

[sly valve]

Interesting, maybe just some kind of rage bait tho

Oh did he got banned?

[remote oyster]

The only reason he approached me was because he got word that I was active on my project again and so I suppose he felt the need to come at me. Otherwise, there was no other reason. It was purely for malicious gain.

[remote oyster]

Yea

[sly valve]

Hmh

[sly valve]

Nice Nice, I guess Smokey had enough

[remote oyster]

I suppose so. It was handled appropriately.

[last latch]

but it took some time lol

[sly valve]

Yeah

[last latch]

like a couple of days if im not mistaken

[sly valve]

By the way, its funny to see how many people in social media cry about that github's UX is hard to use

[last latch]

Well, I myself find it sometimes hard to navigate through it lol

[sly valve]

Well of course it depends on what you do

But they conplain about the download of stuff

[last latch]

damn

[sly valve]

Someone wanted an .exe for linux 💀

[last latch]

hell yeah 😭✌️

[remote oyster]

Been using GitHub for years. For a first time user, I could see where it may be confusing to download because there are many download features on the website. Knowing which download button can be detrimental to whether or not you are reaching your goal haha. The wrong download button will grant you a bad time.

😂

[sly valve]

Okay thats true, but well, I only either use git clone or pnpm anyway so haha

[remote oyster]

Yea, but don't forget about releases too 😜

[distant tulip]

tbh, the release tab is hard to spot or navigate, and including the source there might make it worse for some

[zinc breach]

can you change an itemstacks texture through script api

[wary edge]

No.

[remote oyster]

Yup, so I typically do a release and link the release to keep it simple. Add instructions to the release so they can identify which link in the release is relevant and which isn't. Not necessary but if you know you have people with less experience on the website coming through then it can help navigate them. Otherwise, you just standby for them making reports about a bad download and fix it then haha.

[runic quartz]

It looks more than acceptable.

But this is an experimental event, right? I don't know if it can be deleted and if it works without interruptions.

[subtle cove]

beta.
i havent tested with hoppers, but its faster to manage entity items

Do note that
entitySpawn triggers before entityItemDrop

[tidal wasp]

Can you set the permutation to place of a block (that is an item in your hand or on the ground) by editing the itemStack or dynamic properties

[wary edge]

PlayerPlaceBeforeEvent?

[tidal wasp]

No not that like you are using SetDynamicProperty or something or some editing ItemStack Property to change the permutation placed or would you still have to playerPlaceBeforeEvent

[wary edge]

You have to use playerplacebeforeevent.

[stray spoke]

It looks like class

Thankss

[fickle dagger]

how do I get a block state's available or minmax value?

I'm trying to make a list for a block's options using ModalFormData

[subtle cove]

BlockStates.get('age').validValues

the stateId should be from the keys of block.permutation.getAllStates()

[fickle dagger]

I see, haven't noticef there was a valid value detection
will test this later, thank you M9 🙏

[wary edge]

Keep in mind if multiple blocks use the same state but different ranges it will return the absolute max and min, not just for that block.

[fickle dagger]

got it sir 🫡

[zinc breach]

how come this gives me undefined?

[warm mason]

when u do !something it convert something to boolean type and changes the value to the opposite, so when u do !attacker.typeId in turns into false. U need to do !(attacker.typeId === "minecraft:player") or just attacker.typeId !== "minecraft:player"

[zinc breach]

no, thats not my issue

I'm talking about the dynamic property

its giving me undefined in the console warning even though I set it here to true

[warm mason]

oh, but u still should fix it

[zinc breach]

yeah I did dw

what about the dynamic property thing though

do they not work for items the same way

I think its very weird I can do getTags and hasTag for an itemstack but not add one too

[warm mason]

can u show full code?

[zinc breach]

its a command

[warm mason]

hmmm

[zinc breach]

works properly with everything else

I'll try checking the dp after the command runs aswell

yeah it gives me undefined also

[warm mason]

weird

[zinc breach]

I fixed it but it kinda makes no sense

I had to set the dynamic property after spawning it

shouldn't the item stack I set the dynamic property to still have that after I spawn it

[remote oyster]

Because it needs to exist in order to write to it.

[latent gust]

are you employed

[last latch]

[distant tulip]

Do we can use @minecraft/math ingame

I mean is there a module /math in Minecraft

Do we put it on manifest or different

[remote oyster]

It comes with the territory when dealing with potential hackers, whether they’re legit or fake. I’ve been dealing with them for years now, lol. Though it’s been a while, so I’m not sure why there’s a sudden rise. I’m assuming that account is here with malicious intentions. Guaranteed, I’m just going to ignore it.

[lyric kestrel]

Well, he's opted out of being searched for Alts by Doogle. So he knows exactly what he's doing 🤣

[zinc breach]

is there a way to make tnt explosions less laggy

would replacing them with dimension.createExplosion do that or

I'm trying to optimize this as much as possible

[knotty plaza]

Edit the entity so the explosion size is 1

[zinc breach]

wouldn't that just make it less destructive

[knotty plaza]

But also less laggy

[zinc breach]

hmm I was thinking maybe clear the not needed items that spawn from the explosions?

so normal stuff like cobblestone, diorite, andesite, dirt, etc.

that sort of thing

[knotty plaza]

That would only reduce the lag after the explosion, but I think what takes most of the resources during large explosions is actually destroying the blocks

[zinc breach]

how would you even do this though? I thought you would have to wait for right before the explosion happens and remove all the entities then do dimension.createExplosion

[knotty plaza]

Just edit the json file

[zinc breach]

this is vanilla tnt though

you can do that??

[knotty plaza]

Yes

Just get the vanilla file and put it in your addon

[worldly pier]

quick question, is there a way to set the enchanted texture to any item using scripts?

[zinc breach]

you can just set the glint component in the json

[wary edge]

If dynamically? No. Funny enough we had this convo in #1019692489596215388

[worldly pier]

it is a solution, but is there another way that doesn't involve to create a new texture for every item i want to look like that?

[wary edge]

You dont need to create new textures. Just add the component.

[worldly pier]

you mean, in the json? because for what im doing, a custom item util, i neet to add that component to any item

but with scripts

[wary edge]

You cannot.

[worldly pier]

crap

[worldly pier]

thanks

This is not the place

[distant gulch]

What about for a bds server, and how could I create one

[last latch]

What proxy do you have in mind?

A MITM (machine in the middle) one?

Or an advanced one with packet deserialization, and manipulation?

[last latch]

(yes, bds can use a proxy)

[sullen ocean]

First we should step back a bit... why do you actually want to do this?
What is your end goal you are trying to accomplish?

Some people who set up a MITM server do so for giving them access to Creative fly or other things to do malicious actions on the server.

[distant gulch]

Nukers, I understand my server does have DDOS protection but ik a server who has a proxy and it blocks all attempts at little skidders trying to use a discord server crasher

Basically blocking vpns and such.

[sullen ocean]

Wait... do you want to create a proxy to block it, or to do it?

[distant gulch]

Haha nice one, we are trying to block it.

[sullen ocean]

Making a proxy to block it will still require more raw code manipulation of the BDS itself (because debugging symbols are not offered by Mojang anymore to most people)

[sullen ocean]

Just making sure.

[distant gulch]

Well I know there is this https://github.com/PrismarineJS/bedrock-protocol/blob/master/examples/realmRelay.js

But is this against Minecraft tos?

I have no idea

[sullen ocean]

Against Minecraft's TOS?
If it is made for bypassing authentication / etc., yes.
If it is made for stealing logins to whoever connects to it, yes.

However, if it isn't made for that, but someone makes it do so, then it is the actor who made it do so and not the project.

[distant gulch]

Kay? So it is possible to block crashing attacks? Our server is currently getting nuked. (From the past 2 days)

[cyan basin]

Why are people so lonely that they feel so inclined to crash servers? 💀

[sullen ocean]

Some people get a laugh out of making others suffer... I don't get why, but apparently YouTube videos of people intentionally crashing servers / etc. does not help out either.

(One person whose channel I know of does try to cause problems to servers, but only because they violate the EULA guidelines... and that they have some form of gambling mechanic)

[distant gulch]

Most likely attention

[sullen ocean]

Speaking of that, I'm a moderator in a server for an Android app... one that is commonly mistaken as a skript kiddie hacking tool thanks to the numerous YouTube videos.

If you see "Termux" with the use of hacking Instagram, Facebook, etc. ... don't comment on it. Report the video as malicious and don't continue watching it. Most of the time they want you to download and run their malware on your own device.

[distant gulch]

So

[sullen ocean]

Some kids want to be the "cool kid" in their class...

[distant gulch]

Do we have any idea on

If I’m able to make a proxy

[sullen ocean]

Networking programming is not something I'm good at.
Also note that most hackers are just using exploits to plop down command blocks, command block minecarts, or even signs (unless the exploit for signs was already patched out)

[distant gulch]

That was patched 2023

All nbt stuff like that is gone

The worst ppl can do is crash servers or use reach hacks

They fixed all movements aswell

[sullen ocean]

I can still add that raw text JSON to my local creative world into books... however, I'll have to recheck for signs.

[distant gulch]

Well if it’s your own worlds you can use that type of stuff

But I mean like multiplayer servers, realms

[sullen ocean]

I don't know if it requires operator, creative, or none of the above, for it to work.

The partnered servers run on custom software, which isn't the plain old BDS that ordinary people get.

[distant gulch]

K

[remote oyster]

Yes, but whether or not you have the required skills is the true question. But to answer your question, yes it's possible

[distant gulch]

I might not, but my friend does

[azure sentinel]

Probably you had an existing version installed, or it thought you did by the metadata files it was checking.

For npm, it will still remember what is installed into a project (or globally) if you don't edit the metadata file(s) to say otherwise.

How many of you use AI to make Minecraft scripts for anything like basic proof of concept examples just to see if it works or not?

I use claude pretty regularly for all sorts of stuff. You can fit the entire @minecraft/server npm module type definition file in the 200K context window, so with the right prompting it can do most tasks as long as you have it generate typescript and not JavaScript.

to be more specific, i want to get the trader llamas that are attached to the wandering trader, this component gives me the wandering trader that is leading the trader llamas,not what i want

i want to spawn a wandering trader without its llamas

const trader = dimension.spawnEntity("wandering_trader", location)
const llamas = getLeashedMobs(trader)
llamas.forEach(llama => llama.remove())

[wary edge]

Spawn the trader, subscribe to entity spawn, get llama entity, if leashed to, remove.

Additionally, just listen to trader_llama being spawned and remove it. No need to check if leashed to.

[marble spruce]

how can i make a particle trail the near player location?

[wary edge]

Runinterval -> -> get player location -> dimension.spawnParticle

[marble spruce]

thanks bro!

[warm jungle]

Question how to use the .prototype for classes?

[zinc breach]

would this work with wolf armor?

[open urchin]

no, the equippable component is disabled for non-player entities

[zinc breach]

is there no way I can put wolf armor on it then?

[open urchin]

you'll have to use the replaceitem command

[zinc breach]

replaceitem entity @s slot.armor.body 0 wolf_armor worked, ty

[zinc breach]

does the tameable component work for all entities or does it only apply to entities that can be tamed

for example could I tame a vindicator to a player

would that make it not hostile to that player

[remote oyster]

Only entities that have the minecraft:tameable component defined can be tamed via scripting.

For other entities without that component, you would need to modify the behavior pack to include that component, and adjust their behavior under the condition they are tamed.

[midnight crane]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((data) => {

    const player = data.player
    const mob = data.target
    const item = data.itemStack
    const beforeItem = data.beforeItemStack

    if (mob.typeId == "minecraft:zombie") {
        player.runCommand('give @s diamond')
        return;
    }
})

Why does this not work?

[stray spoke]

Instead of manually calling "data", just use

const {player,target,itemStack,beforeItemStack} = data;

You can also add aliases for it like

const {itemStack: item} = data;

item.typeId

You can also do this directly at the callback parameter

...subscribe(({itemStack: item, player})=>{
  }
)

[remote oyster]

Yea, but it doesn't solve their problem. Which to be fair, I don't explicitly see anything wrong with their code at face value, so I'm not sure why it's "not working".

[stray spoke]

Maybe its actually not running

lol

[remote oyster]

My guess too

Lol

[subtle cove]

Perhaps beforeEvents...

[lyric kestrel]

Sometimes. If I want to modify something that I don't know how to I'd ask an AI to finish it or tell me how I'd accomplish it without writing code (depending on how educative I'm being)
I also use auto-complete on VSC a lot, but sometimes that can actually just be annoying because of how often it is wants to edit it that's wrong

Whenever I've used AI outside of VSC, it's been horrible at coding, even if provided with the complete "minecraft/server" package

So it has its downsides, but it has its upsides

[subtle cove]

Thats why its for public use, which is why the accurate ones has costs

[lyric kestrel]

Yeah

Like I'm making a few sets for making multiple files for my add-on, and autocomplete starting when I start to type in a block is great

Like that is actually really helpful

It may not get it right all the time, but it is going off of what I've already written

[midnight crane]

Alright I'll test that and come back to you

[dapper copper]

does anyone know how you would use rotation property in the teleport options interface with teleport method

im trying to do

player.teleport(location, { rotation: { x: 90, y: 0 } })

[remote oyster]

Are you experiencing anything wrong or negative with that?

Need more context.

[dapper copper]

no i figured it out now, thanks anyway

i just thought because of getViewDirection it would be from 0 - 1

[onyx locust]

are custom slash commands can be ran through runCommand?

[warm mason]

yes

[zinc breach]

can I just edit vanilla entities components? how does that work

like would I have to remake the entire entity or would it just be the json in the BP

also where would I get the vanilla json

[remote oyster]

Just the JSON in the BP.

Look at one which has the component as an example.

Can learn from that. As well as the others and how they behave under that component.

[zinc breach]

would this work
https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/tree/preview/behavior_pack/entities

[remote oyster]

You just need the JSON file pertaining to the entity in question and add it to your behavior pack under the same path as seen in that link to mimic it's location so the game can read it, and apply it correctly.

The only catch is that if you modify a JSON file like this, your pack must remain at the top of the behavior pack load order. Packs higher in the list override packs below them, so keeping your pack at the top ensures it isn’t overridden by another pack that might also modify the same entity.

[zinc breach]

oh so it works the same way as player.json

I understand now

[remote oyster]

Exactly

[lyric kestrel]

Damn, I only just found out about the "minecraft:replaceable" component 🥹

I can use that with scripting to make a good custom slab

[warm mason]

why would u need that component for custom slabs?

[lyric kestrel]

I don't, but I want to try test it out. It seems like it'd be good for making it more vanilla like

I already have a pretty good slab imo with just beforeOnPlayerPlace, but I want to make it better

Nvm

Oh, nvm again, it makes it better

The acacia slab is the one with the replaceable component @warm mason

Which makes it more vanilla-like

[lyric kestrel]

Hmm, apparently there's no way to disable the replaceable component at all once it's applied

Not even omitting it from a permutation disables it

And can't send it to false

[warm mason]

it's because replaceable component is made for blocks like custom grass or other "air" blocks, not for something like custom slabs

[lyric kestrel]

Ah

[warm mason]

even vanilla slabs don't work like that

[distant tulip]

weird way of using replaceable

[lyric kestrel]

I don't know of any other way to replicate this

[distant tulip]

place event and check some conditions

actually, you may need the interaction event

[lyric kestrel]

Hmm

I'll try both out

But I think interaction is the right one

[distant tulip]

yeah, gtg to the mosque but ii will try it out when i am back
if you didn't

[lyric kestrel]

Ah, got it

Finally

[distant gulch]

i use it for math...

[lyric kestrel]

Might have a Slab dev resource in a bit

The only problem I have now is that when I hold it for even a little longer then necessary to run the event, it places another block immediately

[cold grove]

You need to cancel the event

[lyric kestrel]

I am

[cold grove]

Then it should not place a block, i mean, thats how interactWithBlock before event works

[lyric kestrel]

Yes, but it's placing a block but not through interactWithBlock

It's placing it just by pressing the place button

[distant tulip]

isFirstEvent check

[lyric kestrel]

Yep

if (!isFirstEvent) return;

[distant tulip]

Yeah, that should fix it

[lyric kestrel]

Yeah, it's there already

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { block, isFirstEvent, blockFace, itemStack, player} = event

    
    let blockToPlace = undefined
    
    if (!isFirstEvent) return;
    if (!block.permutation.getState("dma:is_double"));

    if (blockFace == "North" && block.north(1).typeId == itemStack?.typeId)
    {
        blockToPlace = block.north(1)
    };

    if (blockFace == "South" && block.south(1).typeId == itemStack.typeId)
    {
        blockToPlace = block.south(1)
    };

    if (blockFace == "East" && block.east(1).typeId == itemStack.typeId)
    {
        blockToPlace = block.east(1);
    };

    if (blockFace == "West" && block.west(1).typeId == itemStack.typeId)
    {
        blockToPlace = block.west(1);
    };

    if (blockToPlace == null) return;
    event.cancel = true
    system.run(() => {
        blockToPlace.setPermutation(blockToPlace.permutation.withState("dma:is_double", true));
        consumeItem(player, itemStack);
    });
});```

Here's the event

Dw about the if statements, I just did it like that for now, but that will change to a loop soon

[cold grove]

event.cancel = true?

[distant tulip]

it still places it?

[lyric kestrel]

I already did that. I just took it out to check if there was even a difference with having it there or not

And there wasn't

[lyric kestrel]

Yes

I think it's because it's targeting a new block basically

[distant tulip]

yeah, maybe

[lyric kestrel]

I mean, it's annoying but it's not too bad ig

[distant tulip]

you dont need a loop

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { block, isFirstEvent, blockFace, itemStack, player } = event;

    if (!isFirstEvent) return;
    if (!block.permutation.getState("dma:is_double")) return;

    const dir = blockFace.toLowerCase();
    const targetBlock = block[dir].(1);

    if (!targetBlock) return;
    if (targetBlock.typeId !== itemStack?.typeId) return;

    system.run(() => {
        targetBlock.setPermutation(
            targetBlock.permutation.withState("dma:is_double", true)
        );
        consumeItem(player, itemStack);
    });
});

this should work

[lyric kestrel]

Oh

Thank you!

[lyric kestrel]

Ok yeah, this is the case

It doesn't do that when it's being placed from underneath or above

Kinda a bummer, but nothing I can do about it

[distant tulip]

it actually same as vanilla

[lyric kestrel]

Oh

[solar dagger]

Can this not go in the block component or do we not have that yet? I forgot

[worldly pier]

i didn't know you could use decimals in the interval

[warm condor]

removing them doesnt help, so apparently you can

maybe

[remote oyster]

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

// Handler function for headcrabs
function handleHeadcrab(entity) {
    if (entity.typeId !== "valve:headcrab") return;

    const dim = entity.dimension;
    const headcrabs = dim.getEntities({ type: "valve:headcrab" });

    for (const headcrab of headcrabs) {
        if (headcrab.getProperty('valve:target_detection') === true) {
            const target = headcrab; // capture reference
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                if (!target.isValid()) return;
                target.setProperty('valve:target_detection', false);
            }, 20); // 20 ticks = 1 second
        }
    }
}

// Subscribe once to each event explicitly
world.afterEvents.entityLoad.subscribe(({ entity }) => handleHeadcrab(entity));
world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe(({ entity }) => handleHeadcrab(entity));

See if this resolved it.

[warm condor]

i was just missing a runInterval lol

mb shouldve clarified

[stark kestrel]

hi everyone, i just cmae back to script api, file locations have changed i noticed, now when im updating my manifest, it isnt updating in my world, but in files, when i check, its updated

i even tried changing versions from like 1.0.0 to 1.1.0

inb manifest

[summer cloud]

is it possible to detect when someone stomps on a crop?

[buoyant canopy]

i don't want to prevent trader llamas from spawning, i want to spawn a wandering trader without llamas...
if i subscribe to entitySpawn
summon the trader
get its id
get the llamas
get their leader
compare its id to twhe trader's id
and unsubscribe, i think that should do it?

[subtle cove]

no events for it, unfortunately

[ocean escarp]

Is there a way to disable the nether with scripts?

[worldly pier]

i dont think so

[cold grove]

No

You can break close portals and tp people back to overworld but not disable it

[worldly pier]

you can check if the player is in a portal block an then tp them away

[worldly pier]

great minds think alike

xd

[cold grove]

Im not great

You are

[worldly pier]

its just a meme

[worldly pier]

detect jumps every tick + check block bellow for dirt should work

[summer cloud]

That’s what I was thinking but it’s for a server with slot of ppl so I’d do something more optimized, or just not do it

[worldly pier]

if its in a server, just use a plugin

[worldly pier]

are you on windows?

[worldly pier]

i found this util, can be helpful:
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1476541799098093619

[cold grove]

And?

[cold grove]

playerButtonInput afterevent

Autojump.. hmm i dont think checking every thing is that heavy

[worldly pier]

and if you are using cache, everything will be fine

[ocean escarp]

I tried this method but I wanted to say a message in chat before breaking the portal. My problem is that I can't detect if the player is touching the portal precisely enough

I was able to do it with commands but the player can still enter at the edge of the portal without triggering it

@cold grove
@worldly pier

[deep quiver]

use this event and tp them back https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerdimensionchangeafterevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[ocean escarp]

Wouldn't this still put them in the loading screen?

[deep quiver]

yeah

[ocean escarp]

that seems like a big time waste, I'm just trying to lock the nether behind certain world / player events

[ocean escarp]

We don't have before events for this right?

[deep quiver]

I dont think so

[ocean escarp]

RiP

[worldly pier]

what if you prevent them from lighting the portal

dispensers will not be detected tho

[warm condor]

you could make the portal light, but whenever a player is within less than 3 blocks of a portal block it temporarily replaces the portal block with air and puts the portal block back whenever the player walks away

you could also make ender pearls despawn whenever they get close to a nether portal since they can teleport you between dimensions if im not mistaken

[worldly pier]

how would you do that

to detect if someone is in range of a block

[warm condor]

i dunno

im not super experienced with scripting, that's just an idea that popped up in my head

[ocean escarp]

I think the idea of it breaking if somebody is nearby is enough symbolism

[warm condor]

that works too

[worldly pier]

but technically, how could that be implemented?

[ocean escarp]

Would definitely need to pearl check too

[ocean escarp]

scan a 3x3 area around the player for portal blocks and if found run a fill command?

[worldly pier]

wouldn't that be laggy? check 9 blocks every tick? for every player?

[ocean escarp]

You got a better idea??

[worldly pier]

udunno but it seems inefficient

[warm condor]

maybe just lower the rate to 5 ticks

it might still lag a smidge depending on the player count tho

[ocean escarp]

Tbh I don't even know why I'm trying to make this conceptually when the addon I have planned won't even make it to beta

Not being good at graphic design sucks lol

[worldly pier]

how is it that related?

[ocean escarp]

Cause I dream too big and the final addon will need a lot of entity models and animations

and AI

[distant tulip]

there is a lot of good java mods with shitty models and art

[ocean escarp]

yeah but this is a lot different, since I want to have this feel unique and fresh from vanilla

[remote oyster]

runJob would solve that easily.

[cold grove]

Check just one block

In survival you need to wait before the portal teleports you

Or just teleport players again to overworld

[distant tulip]

3x3 sound extreme, also maybe try getAllBlocksStandingOn before this

if this doesn't return just blocks bellow

[worldly pier]

yep but like said before, it doesn't work when you get at the border of the portal. it can still teleport you. Because you are touching the block, but you aren't quite in the coordinates of the portal block so nothing is triggered

i think the best solution is to check a 3x1 area without the corners for any portal block

[cold grove]

This doesnt work for players? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_break_blocks?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[worldly pier]

hold on bro, dont give up so early. I think im into something

[ocean escarp]

Wym?

[worldly pier]

i did a solution for your problem

im sending it wait

[fiery solar]

You wouldn't want to scan each block individually and you shouldn't use commands for anything unless the API doesn't support it.

You would use dimension.getBlocks with a block filter to detect just the nether portal blocks around the player, then either teleport the player away from the portal or set the block to Air and wait until the player moves away to set it back

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

[worldly pier]

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

//this method only works for survival. In creative, teleportation happends before this event is triggered
//TODO: do this in efficenly
system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        //iterates for every player
        const aboveBlocks = player.getAllBlocksStandingOn().map((v) => v.above()); // gets all the blocks the player is on
        for (const block of aboveBlocks) {
            if (block?.typeId != "minecraft:portal") continue; //filters only portal blocks
            block.setType("air"); // removes it
            player.sendMessage("nether is disabled");
        }
    }
}, 1);
//this tps every player who enters the nether in creative
world.afterEvents.playerDimensionChange.subscribe((d) => {
    if (d.toDimension.id != "minecraft:nether") return;
    d.player.teleport(d.fromLocation, { dimension: world.getDimension("overworld") });
    d.player.sendMessage("nether is disabled");
});

i didnt know they make a function to get all the blocks a player is standing on, so it made things a lot easier for me

[worldly pier]

yep this is literally what the code does

hope it helps

[ocean escarp]

I only need the first part of this but ty

its for a progression addon that I wanted to develop 1 day

[worldly pier]

ha

[ocean escarp]

It won't be happening any time this decade most likely

[worldly pier]

at least you have an idea how it will work

[ocean escarp]

because as much as I try. I cannot model or animate to save my life lol

[worldly pier]

did yoy try using blockbench?

[fiery solar]

That's pretty cool, I never noticed getAllBlocksStandingOn before. There are ways for the player to be inside a nether portal without touching any of the portal frame blocks though, like standing on this grass block.

[worldly pier]

ahh let me try it

[worldly pier]

i didnt too. Its was a surprise to find it in the methods

it only gets whole blocks

[ocean escarp]

Many times

I just lack artistic talent

[distant tulip]

It is relatively new

[tidal wasp]

Does ?, work in a resolve method like setPermuatation(BlockPermutation.resolve(block.typeId, {
[Hi:hi]: true ?,
[Bye, Bye): false}))

So thag it will only apply the 2nd state if it can be applied

[worldly pier]

it was more difficult than I thought it would be, heres an updated version, this time, optimized. It should work for any case.

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        const pblock = player.dimension.getBlock(player.location);

        if (!pblock) continue;
        // efficient way of getting all the player adjacent blocks
        // portals teleport you in a 0.3 range in any direction
        const candidateBlocks: Block[] = [pblock];
        try {
            if (player.location.x > Math.trunc(player.location.x) + 0.7) candidateBlocks.push(pblock.east()!);
            if (player.location.x < Math.trunc(player.location.x) + 0.3) candidateBlocks.push(pblock.west()!);
            if (player.location.z > Math.trunc(player.location.z) + 0.7) candidateBlocks.push(pblock.south()!);
            if (player.location.z < Math.trunc(player.location.z) + 0.3) candidateBlocks.push(pblock.north()!);
        } catch {}
        //if (player.getAllBlocksStandingOn().some((v) => v.typeId == "minecraft:portal")) console.warn("works");
        for (const block of candidateBlocks) {
            console.warn(candidateBlocks.length);
            if (block?.typeId != "minecraft:portal") continue; //filters only portal blocks
            block.setType("air"); // removes it
            player.sendMessage("nether is disabled");
        }
    }
}, 20);

[frosty yoke]

is there any sort of bug in custom commands parameters in stable 2.5.0? I have these two parameters that show in-game but when I print the args object in the console theres only the first parameter (the npc) and the friendship param doesnt show at all and I also can't access to it by destructuring the args array or accessing directly to the [1] index

[worldly pier]

the entity selector is buggy

[subtle cove]

mind sharing the code

[frosty yoke]

It happens with the second parameter (or maybe all the ones after the first param) because I swapped positions and then I could get friendship but not npc entity.

[frosty yoke]

import { CommandPermissionLevel, CustomCommandOrigin, CustomCommandParamType, CustomCommandSource, Entity, Player } from "@minecraft/server";
import { Npc } from "../../plugin/Npc/npc";

export default {
    command: {
        name: 'test:setfriendship',
        description: 'Set the friendship of an NPC',
        mandatoryParameters: [
            {
                name: 'friendship',
                type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer
            },
            {
                name: 'npc',
                type: CustomCommandParamType.EntitySelector
            }
        ],
        cheatsRequired: true,
        permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.Admin
    },
    callback: (origin: CustomCommandOrigin, args: [friendship: number, npc: Entity]) => {
        const friendship = args[0]
        const npc = args[1]
    },
}

I can't access npc in this case

[worldly pier]

that error is something completely different of what you are saying

[frosty yoke]

It is not

[subtle cove]

(origin: CustomCommandOrigin, ...args: [friendship: number, npc: Entity[]])

[worldly pier]

ha that was it

[frosty yoke]

I also tried npc as Array of entities before and it would say object is not iterable

So i dont think thats the problem tho

[worldly pier]

try it

[frosty yoke]

already did before

that was my first try

[subtle cove]

every cmd param is a function parameter

entityselector is array of entities, same with player selector

it's all from getPlayers/getEntities

[frosty yoke]

Ok thanks.

[subtle cove]

callback: (origin: CustomCommandOrigin, friendship: number, npcs: Entity[]) => {
    const npc = npcs[1]
},

[near siren]

Could someone give me an example of the Record object? (ItemStack.setDynamicProperties) Cant tell how its laid out

[zinc breach]

how would you debug the player leave before event? its not showing anything in the console when I try testing it

would I have to use like simulated players instead of testing on myself

[near siren]

I may be wrong, but it seems that it does not detect the host closing a world as leaving the world. This probably only fires when there is a multiplayer session and works with other people. You could try getting a friend to join besides using simulated players. You could also try using a different event like itemUse to solely debug it.

[zinc breach]

this would definitely run the function though right? so I would just have to debug the function itself somewhere else and see if theres anything wrong I assume

[zinc breach]

in here

[near siren]

Yes, this looks perfectly fine

[zinc breach]

alr ty

[near siren]

You're welcome

[tidal wasp]

How do you use setPermuatation to change only one state on a block without resetting the other ones to default in the process

Because I've always had that happen to me

[wary edge]

WithState.

[drowsy scaffold]

does using tickingAreaManager cause like extreme memory leaks or something?

[wary edge]

Not that I know.

[drowsy scaffold]

does using /reload cause memory leaks?

i'm asking because i have some memory leak in my server, and using script diagnostics isn't showing me that I have events that're leaking or anything like that so I'm hoping to find out what I have wrong

[subtle cove]

Same usage of BlockPermutation.resolve(blockType, record)

const record = {
    skills: "dash,blink,hop",
    hasHome: udefined, 
    hp: 57,
    home: {x:-1774, x:60, z:5249} 
}
world.setDynamicProperties(record)

[remote oyster]

#1479787514003849415

[zinc breach]

why are players not valid in this event? shouldn't they be in a beforeEvent? how would I clear stuff before they leave if it just doesnt work

[subtle cove]

what do u wana clear?

[zinc breach]

dynamic properties, effects, reset name tags

I have the function for it it just doesnt work because the player is invalid

and when I get rid of system.run it just gives me you cannot use ... in restricted execution

[subtle cove]

would storing the properties in world be fine?

using the player.id as key

for the effects, just reset em on join

nameTag's not much of an issue, i think...

[warm mason]

block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState('state', 'value'));

[cold grove]

Yes? Also you dont need to

I mean

playerSpawn and checking initialSpawn will do the same thing

[grim raft]

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

  if (m1Score.getScore(target) > 0) {
    target.dimension.playSound('blazinguniverse', target.location)
    target.dimension.spawnParticle('sl:sword_clash1', (x, y + 1, z))
    event.cancel = true
  }
})```
it cant run the sound and particle events cuz its a beforeEvent so is there a way to make them work

[wary edge]

Wrap it in system.run

[grim raft]

is there no other way without using it

[wary edge]

Correct. Is there a reason you can't or won't use it?

[grim raft]

wait nvm i read it as runInterval cuz im trying to not use it too much

mb

thanks for the help

[nova flame]

where do i ask questions to do with the mcbe debugger

[remote oyster]

Here or open a question at #1067535382285135923

[nova flame]

anyone know why my script tick spikes so high when i connect the debugger on server start?

my script barely does anything

is this like a thing it does?

[remote oyster]

Brief loading? Could be related to the pressure of the tasks being performed within said tick(s) until it normalizes. Just a hunch without looking at the code(s) in question.

[stray spoke]

What addons are yall making rn

Or what project

[remote oyster]

I mostly write code to listen and catch unusual behaviors in the game that typically isn't normal and could potentially be cheating. I find the challenge in some areas to be fun and entertaining.

[nova flame]

you have anything open source?

id like to start developing an "anti cheat"

for a server

[remote oyster]

Licensed under GPL-3, but yes.

[lyric kestrel]

Working on a kind of ore generator add-on for a friend's server atm.
And also on a block cutting add-on where I've made 3 templates of blocks from :¬)

[distant tulip]

Most of the stuff i am currently working on are under NDA, but my current personal project is an add-on with the name "behind the scene".
in short, it is a cinematic add-on, but you get to place stuff in the scene and make entities move around, for example, each element in the scene have a timeframe, for example:
you make a new scene with the length of 5 minutes, you can add a camera and edit it properties in that timeframe, or add a mob and make it path find from x to y, or get damaged at the time 2 min, and so on

[distant tulip]

just got the weirdest error/bug ever
wasn't able to copy the error cause my game froze and was not responsive (not an overflow)
it was something like interrupted at "events/guide_book.js line 72" and the game either freeze or get unresponsive

[supple perch]

i'm a bit late to reply lol, but yet another addon compiler

[supple perch]

very interesting lol

btw sorry to ask but what is the .mcattributes file?

[distant tulip]

blockception file
it is used to ignore some errors

[frosty yoke]

I’ve got that error a lot of times. Usually happens on promises because the code execution was interrupted by something external

[distant tulip]

there is no promises there tho

[supple perch]

ah, but mind telling me what blockception is?

[frosty yoke]

Line 72 is that isOpen if?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[supple perch]

is it a one off thing or does it keep happening?

[supple perch]

ah

mb i am not too familiar with most tools

[frosty yoke]

Were you changing slots too quickly when that happened? Could be a script overload using getDynamicProperty API too quickly

[supple perch]

^^ and also it could maybe be something like the getDynamicProperty somehow being interrupted by a write or something

[distant tulip]

no. it was in a second device joining my world
that happen before the world load for him

[supple perch]

could be just that his player is not fully loaded

or like the methods aren't binded or something

[frosty yoke]

Then it’s probably because the event fired before the selected slot is loaded

[frosty yoke]

Yeah that

[supple perch]

try guarding using player.isValid

i think it's guaranteed to be readable

[distant tulip]

i think i found the reason

also, setting the slot seem to cause a memory leak

[supple perch]

changing the slot in the slot change event without any proper breaks will cause it to refire forever

[distant tulip]

no, it doesn't

[supple perch]

really?

that seems pretty interesting

[distant tulip]

yeah, the event only fire when the player change the slot

[supple perch]

ah

that seems wrong tho

if one pack changes the slot and the event doesn't fire for it, and say another works on the fact that the slot is the old one for caching or something idk, that could cause some issues

idk if this is a bug or intended behavior so yeah

if i were you i'd open a bug report ig

[distant tulip]

it is kinda hard to explain it
i don't fully know what is happening either
let me double check some stuff

[distant tulip]

huh, wait, it does trigger

[supple perch]

if it does trigger then u just need to add a guard, maybe a dynamic property or something and check if the saved tick is larger than the current and then exit

otherwise do logic

if it doesn't trigger then i assume it's a bug

[distant tulip]

no the code i have have a fix for the infinite loop

this is what i get without it

[supple perch]

oh

[frosty yoke]

Yep thats definitely it lol you're creating an infinite loop.

[frosty yoke]

really?

so it doesn't fire when u change it in script

thats weird

[distant tulip]

.

i can't replicate the interrupt error

[frosty yoke]

then it does

[frosty yoke]

just remove the infinite loop

shouldnt happen again

[supple perch]

probably just the infinite loop

either that or something that happens one off

in anycase u should guard the event to stop the infinite loop and guard it to stop invalid (or not yet loaded) players

[distant tulip]

again, the infinite loop is not the problem
when that happen the server turn off

when i get the interrupt error the game freeze and i get a memory leak

[wary edge]

Tbf, it is kind of confusing at first what your issue is when you have nothing that shows an infintie loop in the first screenshot and then you say "I believe it's relayed to infinite loops" which is a different issue.

[supple perch]

you did say you can't replicate it again

can you show us the new code?

if anything changed

[distant tulip]

i never said "I believe it's relayed to infinite loops"
i am saying the opposite
there is something else going on

[supple perch]

this is implying that the issue stems from an infinite loop

[supple perch]

then you said it's not the infinite loops

[supple perch]

@distant tulip

[distant tulip]

give me a sec

[supple perch]

alr no worries, take ur time

[distant tulip]

that one does, this doesn't

[supple perch]

this.. does

[wary edge]

When you say I think I found the reason it does give the impression of such.

[distant tulip]

i get no error or hang

[supple perch]

that's a bug in the API then

unless it was intentional for them to make it not fire on modifications to the slot by ScriptAPI

[distant tulip]

eh, wait
i am stupid, it wouldn't cause a hang

[supple perch]

it depends but i think it just keeps stacking the memory of the allocated objects in the event in rapid succession until the stack overflows.. but if that was the case it would throw a stack overflow error

so maybe it has an untentional limit on how many of this event can be fired per player in a certain set time.. and it just kills/hangs the game after that limit is reached?

idk regardless that is no standard error

you should report it to mojang

[supple perch]

it's literally titled "InternalError"

i doubt we could properly debug it

waiiiiiit

[supple perch]

i think i might be onto something

maybe it can only fire this event once per player in a single tick

and so when u set it twice that triggered it because maybe it's not batched/the api fires the event the first chance it gets??

anyway enough of my yapping

[distant tulip]

that might be true to some extend
just need to find out why it does that when someone join my world

it doesn't do it for me until i intentionally trigger it

[supple perch]

maybe because as a host player you're only ever "loaded" once the world fully loads alongside scriptapi and many things

hence the first script tick always has you valid or something idk man

[distant tulip]

as i said it does happen when i intentionally trigger it

[supple perch]

fair enough

try testing on a realm or bds then ig

[ocean escarp]

Have we had any news about whether or not the max health of an entity will be exposed to scripts?

[snow knoll]

Always has been

[ocean escarp]

Not to edit

[snow knoll]

Well not always, but it is there

[snow knoll]

Wdym?
You can get it, that's still possible

[ocean escarp]

Last I tried max health wasn't changeable

[snow knoll]

Did you not just say you did not want to edit it

[ocean escarp]

Quite the opposite

[snow knoll]

"Not to edit"

[ocean escarp]

I want the ability to edit it without having to make 50+ events in player.json

[ocean escarp]

I was replying to you saying it was not available to edit

Which is annoying

[snow knoll]

And the effect isn't good enough?

[ocean escarp]

Well that is only multiples of 2 and can't go below 10 hearts?

[snow knoll]

Well, then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do on that department besides a runInterval that spams setCurrentValue

[ocean escarp]

That's why I was asking if there was any news on Max health being edittable properly via scripts

[snow knoll]

Unless you want to downgrade to a really old version where editing is possible

[supple perch]

definitely not

late reply ik

but your only choice is modifying the player.json

[ocean escarp]

I hope someone asks about it in the next QnA

I dont get pinged for em

How do y'all unsubscribe event

I tried to store the callback function on a variable, it works on subscribe but on unsubscribe it didn't

[warm mason]

like this```js
const callback = world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(() => {
console.warn('test');
});

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.unsubscribe(callback);

@distant tulip :/

how then?

[last latch]

doesnt subscribe return void?

[warm mason]

no, it returns the function it takes

[last latch]

oh really? cool

[warm mason]

but I don't understand how to unsubscribe if minato says this code won't work

[distant tulip]

it is the weirdest thing ever
you need to use the callback

example

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(doSomething);


function doSomething() {
    console.log("placed a block");
    world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.unsubscribe(doSomething);
}

this will unsub after the player place the block

[distant tulip]

it does

[last latch]

dayum

so i was right?

[distant tulip]

yeah, tbf, i thought it worked like clearRun before some days ago

[last latch]

one question tho

for what cases would anyone unsubscribe?

For optimization?

[stray spoke]

For me, yeah

Performance boost and avoid lag

[distant tulip]

yeah,it is for cases where you want to subscribe to an event just for a bit before unsubscribing
or subscribe if a condition is met and unsub when not

[stray spoke]

I'll try this

Thankss

[last latch]

But does it actually make your worlds run faster?

you would need so much events right?

Like an absurd amount of them

[warm mason]

so, my way was correct..

[stray spoke]

Even allocations and loops need to be limited to avoid gc, like avoiding forEach, map, recursions, and others, must be tick-loop safe also

[last latch]

you saved .subscribe()

[distant tulip]

no? sub return void

[warm mason]

no

it returns the function

[warm mason]

and? What's wrong with it?

[distant tulip]

sure

[stray spoke]

If executed, it returns void. If not, it's a stores function

[warm mason]

huh?

it always returns the function

[distant tulip]

that make no sense, it always return void

[stray spoke]

const test = ()=> true

console.log(test) // returns f() or function

console.log(test()) // returns true

[warm mason]

subscribe returns the callback u used in it

[distant tulip]

i just sent you the docs

[stray spoke]

About the subscribe, yeah it returns void. It's just I'm guessing what he means by returns a function

[warm mason]

function test() {
  return 1;
}

const test2 = world.afterEvents.subscribe(test);
console.log(test == test2) // true

[warm mason]

And there you can see that subscribe() returns the function

[distant tulip]

what does that prove

[distant tulip]

??

dude

[stray spoke]

That's falsy

[warm mason]

._.

[distant tulip]

"void"

[stray spoke]

Yeah, 1 is not equal to void

[warm mason]

Excuse me, but do you even understand the documentation?

[last latch]

there are way too many threads circulating in the same conv

[stray spoke]

...

[stray spoke]

Lol

[stray spoke]

test it yourself

[last latch]

Serties code should be wrong. But minatos explanation is correct

[warm mason]

function test() {
  return 1;
}

const test2 = world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(test);
system.run(() => {
    world.sendMessage((test2 == test) + ' ' + (typeof test) + ' ' + (typeof test2));
});

@distant tulip @last latch @stray spoke

[stray spoke]

It's already displayed on the docs what the subscribe returns. () => void not () => Function

[warm mason]

it's not

it returns function that returns void

[distant tulip]

serty is right

[warm mason]

but not just void

[warm mason]

finally 🙏

[distant tulip]

lol

[stray spoke]

It's because the variable contains a function, so it returns a function, not the return type

[warm mason]

?...

[stray spoke]

Yeah nvm, I think there's misundersting

Not that you're wrong

It's just I don't get what you're pointing

[distant tulip]

i was mis leaded

[stray spoke]

Yeah you're right

I'll try that also

Thanks for helps

[cyan basin]

Why would someone actually use unsubscribe? I don't think I've ever used those events..

[remote oyster]

If you have say a module, that toggles on or off, then that would be one case where unsubscribing would be useful so you could turn the feature off.

[sharp elbow]

Or if you are scoping an event response to the lifetime of an entity, and you would like to clean up that signal when the entity is removed.

[marble spruce]

is this well structured?(I haven't tested yet)

nvm

it works

[supple perch]

brotato

if u wanna ask if something is well structured u should share the full code

Acode the best IDE

In mobile

Almost like VSCode

[supple perch]

i think he is asking about the scriptAPI code he written

it's the best mobile IDE out there but it is NO where near VSC

bud i tried to contribute to their codebase

it is geninuely so messy

and has many bugs

i get they're not paid to do this

but still

[stray spoke]

Yeah, it's buggy also right now. But very robust in coding with plugins

[marble spruce]

Sorry bro

[stray spoke]

Android limitations

[marble spruce]

Ikr

[supple perch]

most of the important plugins that bring functionality that is provided for free (built-in) in VSC are behind a paywall

[stray spoke]

Yeah

There're some good free plugins

[supple perch]

ngl i wouldn't recommend development on android to anyone

i was gonna make my own IDE for Android but i quickly realized how much of a steep learning curve bringing VSC features into Android

[stray spoke]

I just don't have a laptop/desktop so I'm limited to what the best ide that android can offer

[supple perch]

so i don't blame them for the messiness of the codebase but seriously their mentality is just "add new features", there's no fixing, no rewriting, no cleaning up

[stray spoke]

You gonna make your own code editor? Like ace code or monokai

[supple perch]

not a code editor

IDE

basically simplified VSC

[stray spoke]

Yeah part of it is code editor

[marble spruce]

also how can i track if the player is on shift or not ?

[supple perch]

player.isSneaking

[marble spruce]

finally

Thanks man

[supple perch]

true, but i am not gonna making a new code editor if CodeMirror 6 is alr the best ngl for the performance contraint

[supple perch]

you're welcome :D

[stray spoke]

50% of devs probably just guessed this property than reading docs

[supple perch]

there's a plugin for acode that adds the minecraft types bro

also don't generalize

just cuz a few devs did guess it wrong doesn't mean everyone did

[remote oyster]

Probably not. Since if you consider which key is necessary to sneak, it should be self explanatory. What is overlooked is how one monitors it because it will return true in the moment but just as quickly return false under conditions.

[marble spruce]

yeah i forgot there's a pluggin for mc stuff lol

[supple perch]

yea i recommend u install it

it's the best u can get on acode

[marble spruce]

Noice

[supple perch]

ever heard of termux?

i guess not

it's a terminal emulator

i seriously recommend it

without it, Acode alone is probably not good enough

[stray spoke]

Fun fact

[supple perch]

?

[stray spoke]

Acode terminal already upgraded and can use Node JS and other commands like termux or linux does

So you don't need termux anymore

Except termux is faster

[supple perch]

hm that's interesting

last time i checked this was only done when u had termux open

regardless it's probably a new feature

anyway termux is still far better imo

[stray spoke]

Yeah agree, I still use it

[supple perch]

most recognized, most supported, has the best emulation support and is just made for terminal stuff

so performance is awesome and it just feels like a real linux terminal

[stray spoke]

I can't host bds on termux tho

[supple perch]

that's not a termux issue

[stray spoke]

There's some limitations

Yeah

[supple perch]

the bds software is made for ubuntu devices only

[stray spoke]

Yeah that made me sad

[supple perch]

it's made for libc linux i think, while android uses bionic (sorry if i got the names mixed up or wrong)

termux can only emulate so much

if you still wanna host bds i recommend a secondary OS

basically sideloading

but it's probably gonna require a PC and shit, so rooting is better

rooting is still destructive tho and removes any security ur device may have so i don't recommend it

just get a free MC server or something idk

[stray spoke]

I just need a PC, and yeah rooting is not recommended and can cause data loss and limits other feature

[supple perch]

u can use termux for the ssh conenction or sftp and automate the syncing of ur dev files/worlds/etc. back and forth from the host

[stray spoke]

I don't like setting up so much and risky just for bds lol

[supple perch]

definitely the opposite of risky

it's actually the most reliable thing possible

[stray spoke]

I mostly do Websockets, but works only for players with websocket toggle on, on their settings

[supple perch]

i am not talking about websockets bruh

i am talking about the files

just get a free mc server host with sftp, ssh or anything like that

[stray spoke]

I mean the rooting and technical stuff

[stray spoke]

Yeah that's my only option

[supple perch]

i wasn't talking about that in that message tho

[supple perch]

yes it is

[stray spoke]

Thanks again, I gtg

The Linux version of Bedrock Dedicated Server is primarily tested on Ubuntu, but it can run on other Linux distributions with compatible libraries.

[supple perch]

interesting, that's a neat thing i didn't know

[remote oyster]

When software says ‘Ubuntu only’, it usually just means it’s tested and documented for Ubuntu. In most cases it can still run on other Linux distributions if the required libraries are available.

[supple perch]

well still regardless, android is not like normal linux OSs

it uses bionic not libc (idk if the names are correct)

[supple perch]

this is misleading tho ngl

i get that (Linux) part

but that just is like implying it may or may not work

and i get that's exactly what it means

[remote oyster]

Correct, Android isn’t a normal Linux distro even though it uses the Linux kernel.

Typical Linux systems like Ubuntu use GNU libraries (like glibc), while Android uses its own libc called Bionic, a different filesystem layout, and a different runtime. Because of that, many standard Linux programs like Bedrock Dedicated Server for Minecraft Bedrock Edition don’t run on Android without extra compatibility layers.

[supple perch]

yup

i couldn't have said it better ngl

[remote oyster]

Yeah, that usually just means it’s tested and documented on Ubuntu. If you use another Linux distro they can’t guarantee everything will match the documentation, since package managers, library versions, or commands might differ slightly. But it’s still Linux, so in most cases it can still run. You might just need to adjust some steps or dependencies.

[supple perch]

yea i understand

hey i gtg
