and requests would be just global constant or something

#

really depends on how you implement it ofc

rich jacinth
#

Ah

#

Got it

#

Massive thank you

#

Oh gosh

remote oyster
#

I used to have a script for batch processing large amounts of blocks when filling in. For stuff like spheres, cubes, pyramids, etc, etc. Using runJob allowed for efficient management to eliminate blocking of other functionality and greatly improving performance. I could probably write it up again honestly but I'm not familiar with the tick manager. So I would have to experiment with that to see what kind of delays it presents, etc. I definitely can't do anything now, as I have an appointment coming up, but I would definitely consider taking advantage of runJob() to handle your tasks if it's large and many, then properly yielding to allow other micro operations between ticks.

rich jacinth
#

Yeah

#

I already use runJob() alot in my current system, but yeh

#

useful ty

remote oyster
#

runJob is great. I love it lol.

honest spear
#

Where are the old good await null days lol

#

but i love it as well

rich jacinth
#

lol

honest spear
#

but it takes only generators right?

#

its not generic for iterators right?

remote oyster
#

runJob is a generator.

honest spear
#

yea i would guess so

#

It does, it did

#

some apis changes since then

warm mason
#

why would yield work like await, but not await

honest spear
#

with yield you have more control, await is handled by engine it self

#

so i had to use yield for lot of stuff before

#

now it would likely work with await as well but only some stuff of it

warm mason
honest spear
warm mason
honest spear
#

i run the generator and handle the return values and yield parames back to the function based on its value so when it returns number i just wait x ticks and then i ask for next value and so on

#

but its not typescript friendly

#

i would have to rewrite typescript compiler to support that or idk

warm mason
honest spear
# warm mason I get it, but what about events?

when you yield event, then it basicaly checks if it has subscribe and subscribes to it, once callback is fired i pass the value and call next iteration from the event callback + unsubscribe

#

its simplier than it looks like

#

its really basic stuff actually

#

i made that like 3 years ago

warm mason
honest spear
#

i don't have src sadly

honest spear
#

i love generators in this since

#

the reason i used generators was that i could even handle events that were running multiple times per tick

#

i consider my self as educated in ECMAScript so ask anything, but ofc noone knows everything

I DIDN'T REALISE TYPESCRIPT HAD INTELLISENSE FOR STUFF LIKE THAT

Oh. .. you mean showing intellisense inside functions for parameters yeah, for that people use TS in the first place

remote oyster
crude glacier
#

Because the editor knows what type your parameters are

distant tulip

it doesn't in some places

#

you need the type or jsdoc

crude glacier

zinc breach
#

is there a way to use dimension.setBlockType in an unloaded chunk without using a ticking area

warm mason
zinc breach
# warm mason no

do ticking areas you make with the api show up when you list them in game then

#

and if the max amount is set would it just not work if I try to make one

#

For people who have started messing around with the custom dimensions, does anyone know what's wrong with my command? If I do an itemUse event and teleport the player to the dimension it works just fine but using a command it says that my custom dimension is invalid.

Error: Dimension 'custom:test' is invalid. at <anonymous> (index.js:48)

📎 dimensionCommand.ts
#

It reaches the success message for teleporting the player, it just fails to transfer now. Originally I was registering the dimension after the command and thought that might have been it but I've since moved the dimension above the command and still the same error applies.

what should i use to detect the type of potions inside the cauldron?

warm mason
# tidal wasp

well, BlockPermutation doesn't have toJSON method, so u should do something like permutation.type.id + '|' JSON.stringify(permutation.getAllStates()) and then BlockPermutation.resolve(string.split('|')[0], JSON.parse(string.split('|')[1])) to parse

honest spear

Wait isn't path finding just BFS?

warm mason

doesn't sounds efficient for long distances but might actually work for small ratios

Ok now I need a more efficient way of doing this

Why use runCommand for actionbar?

And what are you trying to do that you're getting SO?

tidal wasp

Im trying to floodfill

Up to 11x11

And im getting stuck at 3x3

wary edge
#

Use runJob.

tidal wasp
#

Put the function inside of runjob whenever I call it?

wary edge
#

Yeah. Or take a look at the editor mode flood function.

tidal wasp

Unless I have to call a job within a job

(epotrictically) is there a way to "manipulate" the vanilla effects without using the actual effects?

is it possible to change features in custom dimensions like gravity, atmosphere, friction?

No.

why?

#

we only have access to registering a dimension for now and thats all

naive frost
#

Any docs for the custom dimensions??

cyan basin
crude glacier
#

I never understood generator functions tbh

devout hazel
#

anyone know if you can show only the alias of the custom command in the command prompt in game?

#

at the moment both the alias and the namespaced version show

cold grove
devout hazel
#

wdym you create 2 commands?

cold grove
devout hazel
#

ah were you considering the actual registering

#

i was only hoping to just hide the namespaced version, still regestering it i suppose

#

just to clean it up for my freinds who will use the command

cold grove
devout hazel
#

do you know if theres a way to do that

#

so instead of both /raycast:wand and /wand showing, its just /wand

cold grove
devout hazel
#

ok dw

#

thanks tho

woven loom
#

Is there a limit to how many ticking areas we can create with api?

crude glacier
#

10 as usual

warm mason
open urchin
#

if two different ticking areas are ticking the same chunk, that chunk will count as two towards the limit

crude glacier
open urchin
#

These ticking areas are limited by a fixed amount of ticking chunks per pack independent of the command limits.

warm mason
crude glacier
#

Sure ?

subtle cove
#

While entity work_tick isn't limited by quantity, is it?

crude glacier
#

Yep

zinc breach
#

dimension.setBlockType() should work if I do it at a location inside a ticking area right?

#

how come it is still giving me the unloaded chunk error when I put it in one

wary edge
zinc breach
wary edge
#

Use proper methods.

#

Use await or .then

subtle cove
#

system.waitTicks(10)

zinc breach
#

the ticking area does get made before that though

subtle cove
#

Sample code...

wary edge
wary edge
#

Theres a reason its an async function.

subtle cove
#

I meant for when waiting for sth else

#

I usually do

await createTickingArea(id, {dimension,from,to})
wary edge
#

Im so curious why they changed from Promise<TickingArea> to Promise<void>

subtle cove
#

Is it like 99% it resolves that it created it...

cold grove
wary edge
cold grove
#

Is not necesary to return the same object you passed as argument

round bone
wary edge
round bone
#

The same way REST APIs do return data after POST endpoint

wary edge
#

You're telling me.

await createArea(id);
const area = getArea(id);

Is better than

const area = await createArea(id)
cold grove
#

Well.. i guess it was useful to write all in one line

round bone
wary edge
round bone
# wary edge Wdym?

The only new thing that you get from obtaining this object from create method is an unique identifier of this ticking area. Rest of it you can calculate basing of the params that you used before to create the same ticking area

wary edge
round bone
#

And BlockBoundingBox you can also resolve with the data that you used lmao

wary edge
#

Also, how are ypu going to get isFullyLoaded without the tickingarea? Exactly.

honest spear
#

i don't know technical details of createTickingArea but it would be easier for everyone if we could just get the ticking are from the promise

#

Why do you like calculations instead of...letting the game give it to you?

round bone
wary edge
#

The point of the convo was to make things easier.

#

You're the type of person to say, "We can already do world gen in custom dimensions using noisejs, so who cares if Mojang adds or doesnt add feature rules to work"

round bone
#

I don't care about the things that don't extend functionality or make smth faster. It's just about the speed of development. Also, it'd be few lines of code more anyways so who cares atp?

wary edge
#

Person who gets charged by lines of code written.

round bone
wary edge
#

Congrats, you figured out my joke.

#

Doing manual calculations is like the anti thesis of fast development speed.

round bone
wary edge
#

It does yes, why write more lines of code when the previous implementation did not require you to do so.

#

Unless Mojang gives a reason why, it is a decision that makes 0 sense to me.

round bone
wary edge
#

I never said I couldnt. Im inquiring why the decision was made.

#

That was the whole point.

wary edge
round bone
#

Look to the first message that I've sent. I claim that it's weird, but it does not change that much as you can still achive every single information about new ticking area except it's identifier

wary edge
#

And to which I reply why make us do more work when previous impl did it for us.

round bone
#

🤷

wary edge
#

I never said there wasnt an alternative.

custom dimensions with loading screen is so fire. I can't wait for it's future updates

#

its like a multiworld plugin, but it resets every reload I guess

warm mason
stray spoke
#

So it only needs to register once?

warm mason
stray spoke
#

Like all builds are saved with the dim id, and we just need to define it by registry?

warm mason
#

yeah

#

this is what happened when I removed the registration

#

and if u register it again, all builds in the dimension will stay

stray spoke
#

Thanks for testing it out, that's a good news for me

#

i thought - on the sample code, we need to build platform everytime

Label and divider misalign the toggle in server-ui?

If I remove the label, it starts working as it should again.

I think that you simply have to slice the beginning of an array (result.formValues in this case) and you'll be fine. If you send the code, I can fix it for you 🙂

    ,
    number,

subtle cove
#

u can put this fix```js
const formValues = r.formValues.filter(v=> v != null);
playPageTurnSound(player);
// formValues[0] is the Global
const globalValue = formValues[0];

// formValues.slice(1) are the mobs
const individualValues = formValues.slice(1);

frozen vine
subtle cove
#

as for ur current form setup, it only has one null type in formValues

frozen vine

Argument of type '"foundries:valid_foundry"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'keyof BlockStateSuperset'

open urchin
# lyric kestrel TS `Argument of type '"foundries:valid_foundry"' is not assignable to parameter ...

I hate how vanilla data is set up, for some reason BlockStateSuperset isn't an interface which makes it impossible to add custom states to it
ig you could do something like this (can go in any ts file in your project, should update the types across all of them)

import { BlockStateSuperset } from "@minecraft/vanilla-data";

type CustomStateSuperset = BlockStateSuperset & {
  "example:state": string;
};

declare module "@minecraft/server" {
  interface BlockPermutation {
    getState<T extends keyof CustomStateSuperset>(stateName: T): CustomStateSuperset[T] | undefined;
    withState<T extends keyof CustomStateSuperset>(name: T, value: CustomStateSuperset[T]): BlockPermutation;
  }
}

then you can do this

block.permutation.getState("example:state") // string
lyric kestrel
#

Oh, I didn't have vanilla-data installed 😅

#

I can do this now
block.permutation.getState("foundries:valid_foundry" as keyof BlockStateSuperset)

#

Lock nether and end behind certain events occuring

yeh you can do that with events that add a component group containing that component

with a bit of scripting logic you should still be able get your desired result

I hope so

#

Detect that

#

And don't let em go in

honest spear
#

sounds easier than it actually is also no one wants to spend all its performance on checking surrounding blocks every tick

#

firgured out 26.13 is just a hotfix, and I need to join beta on playstore

#

to use the minecraft beta or preview, I guess

crude glacier
#

Hmmmm

remote oyster
#

I eventually threw it out 😅

#

But that was a few years ago so performance may be better now since we have runJob() but I still wouldn't recommend it.

simple zodiac
#

We also have block volumes. In combination with dimesnion.getBlocks with filters its really efficient

remote oyster
#

Yea, a few options have become available since then. Unfortunately there are a lot of little variables that trip you up which can be difficult to catch and sometimes they still manage to pass through. Which is when that dimension change event would come in handy but you still deal with the loading screen which isn't ideal. So it's personal preference at this point until something more ideal becomes available. Which would be a before event.

if your using dev bot

#

Let me show you a better looking website first

nova flame
#

no bro i dont need a website or anything

#

i have 2 bds running on 1 machine

one is a queue server

#

and ones the actual server

#

and the queu transfers you when theres free slots

karmic crystal
#

oh this is what I quickly put together for a website anyway

nova flame
#

cool man

karmic crystal
#

@Razz with realmbot do this To run two Bedrock Dedicated Servers (BDS) on one machine with a queue system, you will use different ports and the /transfer command.

#

@nova flame

nova flame
#

i know

karmic crystal

I think you might to get two realm bots

nova flame
#

im asking about getting the playercount on the other one

#

bro im not using realms

karmic crystal
#

the things is their no way to do it other wise

nova flame
#

there definatley is

karmic crystal
#

you active player like a bot

#

nope you need a active player on the server typeing the command /transfer with each login

#

that's what realmbot does

How would I go about spliting up a large area between an x and z cords into chunks (the minecraft kind), pretty mch just how do I split one large area into each of it's chunks inside of it

wary edge
rich jacinth
# wary edge What are you trying to achieve?

Trying to fill a large area by going chunk by chunk instead of all at once, both so I can split up the ticking area's I need to use more effectively, but also because I think it would run better then just getting large areas and filling them mostly all at once (I am using a runjob but still, probably faster?)

wary edge

wary edge
#

Yeah, Math.

#

There's like various ways, divide by 16, take the starting coords +=16 in the loop

#

Etc etc

rich jacinth
#

got it

#

Oh also last question, how would you go about checking for when the chunk is done, my first thought was a let but that wouldn't be able to let the code know which chunk actually got loaded, and I think that would be a problem?

#

oop typo

#

Cause I know I'd just unload the ticking area after doing the fill, but would it end up not knowing I filled the area in the first place

wary edge

  const dimension = world.getDimension('overworld');
  for (let x = registry_area.start.x; x < registry_area.end.x; x += 16) {
    for (let z = registry_area.start.z; z < registry_area.end.z; z += 16) {
      if (
        !dimension.isChunkLoaded({
          x,
          y: 64,
          z,
        })
      ) {
        log.unloaded_chunks++;
        await loadChunk(new Vector3({ x, y: 64, z }));
      }

      const block_volume = new BlockVolume(
        {
          x: x,
          y: registry_area.start.y,
          z: z,
        },
        {
          x: x + 15,
          y: registry_area.end.y,
          z: z + 15,
        },
      );
      const blocks = dimension.getBlocks(
        block_volume,
        {
          includeTags: ['namespace:feature_flag'],
        },
        true,
      );
      for (const location of blocks.getBlockLocationIterator()) {
        const block = dimension.getBlock(location)!;
        const perm = block.permutation;
        block.setType('minecraft:air');
        // deno-lint-ignore no-await-in-loop
        await system.waitTicks(1);
        block.setPermutation(perm);
      }

      log.chunks++;
    }
  }

import { Vector3, world } from '@minecraft/server';

export async function loadChunk(location: Vector3): Promise<void> {
  const dimension = world.getDimension('overworld');
  if (world.tickingAreaManager.hasTickingArea('namespace:temp')) {
    world.tickingAreaManager.removeTickingArea('namespace:temp');
  }

  await world.tickingAreaManager.createTickingArea('namespace:temp', {
    dimension,
    from: location,
    to: location,
  });
}

This was an OLD code that I wrote to grab certain blocks in a chunk.

#

You can slightly modify it to fulfill your needs.

#

Ideally the area you're filling is chunk aligned.

sage portal

Can we control the maximum height of the getTopMostBlock or whatever the method name is? I've been considering using it for spawning entities, but I don't want to try to spawn an entity underground if it's just gonna end up at the top of the mountain it's under.

crude glacier
sage portal
#

what

sage portal
crude glacier
#

Oh right

#

@untold garnet

crude glacier
#

Then you need to use a loop

#

Or check if entity is underground or not

sage portal
#

I'm just looking to spawn an entity on the ground, a loop is excessive

crude glacier
#

What ground you mean

#

You mean cave's ground

#

Underground?

#

I guess you better use json's spawn rules

sage portal
#

the ground relative to the player.
If I were to spawn something while in a house for example, I'd expect it to spawn on the floor and not on the roof.

#

Not talking about natural spawning

crude glacier
#

Oh

#

So what you mean is , if you want to spawn it on the ground it spawns on the top of the house instead of the actual ground

sage portal
#

the way I'm currently doing is using getViewDirection() to grab the location in front of the player, then using a getBlockBelow raycast to get the first solid block from that location to summon an entity.

But the problem is that this method only works with flat environments. Against something like a hill, this results in the entity being summoned in the ground.

crude glacier
#

Hmm understood

#

Then you can do something like if you want the entity to be near the player, then use if statement to check if entity Y is in safe range

#

Because getTopmostBlock() won't help in this situation

#

Ane i guess the only way you have is looping

#

@sage portal

#

But if i understood well what you are trying to achieve, yeah you have no other way

sage portal
#

I'm not really sure where you're going with the looping thing tbh because it's a case of activating the summon once, not a constant interval of it.

I guess the closest example I can use is the evoker. The evoker is capable of summoning evoker fangs even from behind a wall, and if you were to fight an evoker on a hill, the fangs would spawn on the surface of the hill properly rather than having some spawn in midair or some spawn inside the hill.

crude glacier
#

Oh your problem is , the entity doesn't spawn on the surface

#

Correctly

sage portal
#

basically, yeah.
And I considered the getTopMostBlock thing, but I didn't know if that would just make things not work if something was above the player, like if they're in a house or in a cave, or in the nether with the nether roof.

crude glacier
#

Hmm yeah if the place was hollow

#

It will spawn it on the exterior surface

#

Not inside it

sage portal
#

well that's unfortunate

crude glacier
#

But can you tell me what the entity is supposed to do or to be

#

Maybe there is a better way to achieve the same behaviour

sage portal
#

it's not like a living entity or anything, it's simply akin to like placing down a sentry.

#

just look in the general direction, right click, and the entity is summoned on the surface, relative to the player's position

crude glacier
#

Hmmm ok

#

So i recommend using mix of getBlockAbove() and getBlockBelow()

#

Best idea is this @sage portal

#

Use max dimension Y location if you are on the ground

#

And use getBlockBelow()

#

It is suitable to use with hills

#

Get Xand Z where the player is looking at and use it with Y = 320 , and getBlockBelow({ x : yourX , y : 320 , z : yourZ})

#

What do think ?

#

@sage portal did you understand the method?

#

And if player is underground use getBlockAbove()

#

Or mix of both above below for better accuracy

sage portal
#

It sounds like the third option of mixing both is the closest I'll get to accurate spawning.
Man I wish there was a way to look at how Mojang did it for evokers.

You can find it in java edition

# remote oyster Give a sample code based on your situation. 
system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(a =>{

    const LocalChat = {
        name: "mw:localchat",
        description: "Use this to talk in normal chat when in a group.",
        cheatsRequired: false,

            world.sendMessage(fabricateMessage(message.join(" "),source.sourceEntity,1))
        }
    )
});

fabricateMessage() only performs string manipulation so that shouldn't be a problem

Make sure your function that is manipulating the string isn't returning more than one arg. If it is then you need to adjust how it's manipulating it based on your desire, or handle how you grab the arg in the array more efficiently. Albeit arg[0] or arg[1].

#

An array will contain indexes. Starting from 0.

meager zenith
remote oyster
#

Does it return as string or string[] because that is still important. Makes a difference when calling either arg or arg[0].

meager zenith
# remote oyster Does it return as `string` or `string[]` because that is still important. Makes ...

string
code for reference :

function fabricateMessage(msg,player,local=0)
{ 
    const alias = player.getDynamicProperty("mw:alias");
    const chatCode = player.getDynamicProperty("mw:formatCode");
    const chat_code = (chatCode == undefined)?"":chatCode;
    const alias_name = (alias == undefined)?player.name:((alias == "mw:is_hidden")?"???":alias);
    const group = player.getDynamicProperty("mw:group")
    return `${(group == undefined || local==1)?"":`${chat_code}[§r${group}${chat_code}]§r`}${chat_code}<§r${alias_name}§r${chat_code}> ${msg}`; 
}
image.png
remote oyster
#

Hmmm... Ok, so your code initially starts with string[]. Like this: message = ["hello", "world", "test"].

Then you message.join(" ") and it becomes a string like this "hello world test"

Your function function fabricateMessage(msg, player, local = 0) returns a string. So everything appears normal. I would inspect and debug that function and be sure everything, line for line, is handled correctly. Have it print everything as it executes synchronously for quality insurance.

meager zenith
# meager zenith ```js system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(a =>{ const Sentence = [{ name: ...

I found smth interesting so changing ...message to just message in the customCommandRegistry , allows the command to split string into array of chars

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(a =>{
    const Sentence = [{ name: "message", type: "String"}];
    const LocalChat = {
        name: "mw:localchat",
        description: "Use this to talk in normal chat when in a group.",
        cheatsRequired: false,
        permissionLevel: 0,
        mandatoryParameters: [...Sentence]
    }
    a.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(LocalChat,
        (source, message) =>{
            console.warn(message.length)
            console.warn(message[0])
            console.warn(message[1])
            world.sendMessage(fabricateMessage(message.join(" "),source.sourceEntity,1))
        }
    )
});

so /localchat hi hi will still throw an error,
BUT
/localchat hi will hi -> [ 'h' , 'i' ]

#

I think the issue is that I cannot use an array of string as a manadoryParameter

#

/localchat hi hi

See I don’t really wanna disable slash commands, and making custom commands is fine but making one for almost every command? I’m not doing that.

I’ve decided I’ll use the code provided, but expand it for my liking. It’ll work like this:

  • 3-5 different scoreboards, each with their own randomly generated name.
  • Each scoreboard has an either big or small number attached to that scoreboard.
  • The player must have all of those scoreboards with their number to be able to use slash commands, and they also need operator.
  • If a player lacks at least ONE of these, they can’t use slash commands and have to default to custom commands.

okay so apparently its not returning the actual values its supposed to return

#

its just returning int

#

idfk how

cinder shadow
#

I don't understand this at all

tidal wasp
#

ok so basically what I am trying to do is find out when i place a the block and look for how many other of the same block is behind it and wheather it is a multiple of 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, or 2

#

and setting its state to that

#

the part after the permutationToPlace bit is fine

#

probably should've omitted that

cinder shadow
#

where is it getting stuck?

tidal wasp
#

When I try to set the permutation being placed

#

The function isn't returning any of the values it's supposed to return

#

Instead it's just incrementing by one every time I place the block

cinder shadow
#

Well I'm not sure what exactly this is trying to do

image.png
tidal wasp
#

And then failing unless I've placed 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 of the blocks

tidal wasp
cinder shadow
#

You're trying to use these as thresholds?

sharp elbow
#

What is the block state "cmd:laser" defined as? You are setting it to the value of the handler for a job; this is a rather opaque value that should not be interpreted in any meaningful way like this, and I highly doubt you've intended to use it for a block state value

cinder shadow
#

aren't block states also still very limited? you can only have 16 different states

tidal wasp
#

The block states are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256

cinder shadow
tidal wasp
#

So really there's only 9 states

cinder shadow
#

should probably just give it a "default" and just do an else return 1 instead

#

then see where where the logic is breaking

#

anything % 1 is 0

tidal wasp
tidal wasp
tidal wasp
#

I might just try to put it into a for loop

It just visually looks very weird to me, I don't think I would ever handle counting the length of blocks in a row like this

#

I'm probably missing something

tidal wasp
sharp elbow
#

I'm trying to think of ways to fix this without entirely rewriting it

tidal wasp
#

I do have a version of script that does work

#

But it takes increasingly long the farther out you go

#

And uses setPermutation instead of setting the permutation to be placed

wary edge
#

Whats the issue?

cinder shadow
#

I can't read

sharp elbow
#

So this laser block has a block state, 'cmd:laser', which should be equal to whatever multiple of a power of 2 you defined. Is it looking for another block of its ID that is facing the same way? And should this be assigned the instant you place this laser block?

tidal wasp
#

I think I'm going to try if I can use a for loop in a generator function

sharp elbow
#

Let's talk code; does this look like something you were trying to implement?

  • Given its "minecraft:block_face", pick the opposite direction.
  • Look for blocks at powers of 2 in this opposite direction for another laser block facing the same way, acquiring its distance if it matches, defaulting to 1
  • Assign this distance to the state "cmd:laser"
  • Set the block behind this block's state "cmd:capped" to false
📎 file.txt

Plus generator + job semantics are unwieldy

I hope you don't mind me using bit shifting, it made writing a while-loop for this rather straightforward

Bit shifting (left and right) is a convenient way to represent powers of 2 when writing out code. It takes a numerical value in binary, then "shifts" its values either left or right.

// 2^1
> (1 << 1)
2
> (1 << 1).toString(2)
'10'

// 2^2
> (1 << 2)
4
> (1 << 2).toString(2)
'100'

// 2^3
> (1 << 3)
8
> (1 << 3).toString(2)
'1000'

// 2^4
> (1 << 4)
16
> (1 << 4).toString(2)
'10000'
#

So in the while-loop I wrote, we're starting at 256 (1 << 8), then we're shifting the bit down by one on each iteration, going to 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and ending at 1

const dir = directions[face];
if (!dir) return;

// Start from current position (avoids object creation in loop)
let x = block.x;

let z = block.z;

let count = 0;

// Linear scan up to a hard cap (256 → effectively constant time O(1))
for (let i = 1; i <= 256; i++) {
    x += dir.x;
    y += dir.y;
    z += dir.z;

// Convert count to nearest lower power of 2 (O(1) math instead of branching chain)

What if there is a gap

#

not a very good laser then

sharp elbow
#

Think VisualImpact struck the nail here

cinder shadow
#

wtf! he STOLE both of our versions and combined them!

remote oyster
sharp elbow
#

Although should the loop stop when it doesn't find another laser block immediately? Or should it continue searching until it reaches one?

#

I assumed this was traversing something like air until it found another laser facing the same way

cinder shadow
#

Based on what Rem said, it should just keep going?

#

I thought it was all just supposed to be one connected line then stop as soon as it didn't find anything

sharp elbow
#

Easy enough to account for, simply reverse the logic of the if condition within the loop.
if (nextBlock.typeId === blockId && nextBlock.permutation.getState('minecraft:block_face') === face) break;

#

Great usage of floor(log2(count)) by the way, I was about to propose that

Also is there any way to figure out the world simulation distance other than trial and error

🤷 I was not able to work out a better solution than that

You have some other options; check if the chunk is loaded, or use API calls that don't error when accessing unloaded chunks first and check if they returned anything meaningful

create ticking areas along the entire predicted length of the laser

Hey sorry for the days later re-ask but what is "ChunksToFillRequest[]" meant to be? Is it meant to be an array? I've got my code working thanks to this but this part has bothered me as I never ended up using this exact system, just something like it, so never figured it out

night oracle
#

I see [] so I’d say yes

#

Chunks is also plural

rich jacinth
#

yeah

#

you're probably right

#

It could be an array of objects

[{x1: 35, x2: 55}, …]

An example of an object in an array

Also why doesn't x^y work

Shits a scam

night oracle
#

Just put num.toString(2) to get the value i think you wanted to return.@tidal wasp credit:@serty.name

#

1 will return 00000001
3 will return 00000011
7 will return 00000111

#

A bit holds a value 0-255

#

@tidal wasp

tidal wasp
#

Sir I have found my solution 😭

#

Also is that because there are 8 1,0 pairs

night oracle
#

Yes

tidal wasp
#

And 0 counts as a number

night oracle
#

0 = 0000000 and 255 = 11111111

#

@tidal wasp

#

Each number counts exponentially

Could you not please

/lc hi hi makes it two parameters string and string even tho the required params is only one string, but /lc "hi hi" acts only as one string

(source, ...messages)

meager zenith

#

You can't fix that actually, because the amount of parameters is fixed based on your command options

#

If your mandatoryParameters + optionalParameters only have 2 parameters for example, it only accepts 2

meager zenith
#

I am mostly gonna use chatSend with smth like !lc as command prefix, since I am already using chatSend for other things in the addons

stray spoke
#

That's still beta tho

meager zenith
#

I know but you can set the version as "beta" Instead of specifying the number as in "v2.7.0-beta" and it'll default to whatever the beta version is

#

So no need to update it for every Minecraft upsa

#

Update*

#

Granted you do have to turn on beta apis

stray spoke
#

Yeah, in my experience, most addon users don't follow a note to turn on beta-api option first and complain the addon doesn't work

It's kinda hassle too

remote oyster
meager zenith

yep totally agree

zinc breach
remote oyster
# zinc breach I don't understand tho why is chatSend in the beta api and not stable? I thought...

Don't know if it's still the case now, but a long while back, couple of years at least, maybe longer, I used it to implement end-to-end encryption. In doing so people were having their accounts suspended or soft banned from Microsoft. Turned out Mojang was monitoring every message being sent, which I didn't personally know at the time. This led to some serious issues which I reported to the devs. Next thing I know, they stuck to it being beta, and a lot of the functions and properties were made to be read only. Been that way since. But like I said, I don't know if that is still the main reason as of today or not.

#

If you look, you can find where I reported it. I believe it was in the Bedrock OSS server though. Been a while lol.

stray spoke
#

How did it even be sent to mojang

#

That's a crazy secret

They listen to the traffic by default. It was new to me when I learned about it lol.

"Unknown" in inventories

You can make an entity with named inventory this way:
Summon entity via command: /summon furniture:fridge_upper_container tile.furniture:fridge_upper.name ~~~ then put tile.furniture:fridge_upper.name=Freezer in the lang file

possible causes?

It seems to be a problem with a for loop on the player. @nova flame

#

Maybe a function on the player isn’t being canceled before rerunning the function, causing another loop and lag.

always add the dimension id you your location hashes it it's not exclusive to i single dimension

#

or a an integer representing it if you need to store a lot of hashes in a dynamic property and you are worried about hitting the size limit

Is getentities laggy at all when done multiple times one after the other? I'm making a shockwave effect and I need to getentities when my particle reaches them, which leads me to my second question, is there any good way to line those up, the particle and script as in, in terms of timing

shy leaf
#

also for particle, i doubt it since those are client sided

#

your best bet is to use entities with particles

rich jacinth

what would be a case where it would lag if you can think of any examples?

functions that are generally heavyweight in client/server, imagine every entities in your simulation distance making particles

Alright thanks

#

Right timing, im also on that page

Nvm it's different

you must be in Player.inputInfo

#

that one is for getting which button the player is pressing

shy leaf
stray spoke
#

Okay I get it now

#

Thank you

#

newButtonState is just to detect if its pressed or released

shy leaf
#

you can change buttonstate with whatever you want

#

omitting it will fire on both press and release

When you use block.setType() or block.setPermutation(), how would one make this trigger a block update?

Looks like just setting it to air first and then the target permutation works fine.

I mean the direction of movement we used

Up, down, left, right

# stray spoke Is there also detection for movements 
import { system, world } from "@minecraft/server";

#

So there's no other way? Like an event or input

remote oyster
#

Nope

#

Can also use player.location as well to determine directions.

stray spoke
#

Damn, but this workaround helpful a lot

#

Thanks

remote oyster
#

Another one you can try:

function getRelativeDirection(player) {
  const vel = player.getVelocity();
  const rot = player.getRotation(); // yaw

  // Convert yaw to forward vector
  const yawRad = (rot.y * Math.PI) / 180;

  const forward = {
    x: -Math.sin(yawRad),
    z: Math.cos(yawRad),
  };

  // Dot product (forward/backward)
  const dot =
    vel.x * forward.x +
    vel.z * forward.z;

  // Perpendicular (left/right)
  const right = {
    x: forward.z,
    z: -forward.x,
  };

  const side =
    vel.x * right.x +
    vel.z * right.z;

  if (Math.abs(dot) > Math.abs(side)) {
    return dot > 0 ? "forward" : "backward";
  } else {
    return side > 0 ? "right" : "left";
  }
}
