Script API General

[fallen cape]

BFS is not usually done with recursion, use a queue

[ocean escarp]

My brain hates trying work with queues especially when they have to store a lot of data like time stamps

It just becomes variable hell really quickly

Tbh I have a lot more respect for people who make veinminers

It's really hard

[woven loom]

nah its simple

use claude

[ocean escarp]

Not when you're tryna bake in a wave pattern + config

[woven loom]

try using claude

[ocean escarp]

I'm not using AI

That's vibecoding

I have to figure this out myself

Once I figure out loops

Cause block A needs to check 6 different locations for block B

And then all instances of B to C

And so on

I have no clue what I'm going 💀

[dapper copper]

ai is beneficial for learning and teaching

[ocean escarp]

I'm trying to figure out maps

Since I could run individual instances that way

I think???

Why do I have to be doing this on 2 hours of sleep

[dapper copper]

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_maps.asp

[ocean escarp]

I meant more how to apply them here

Yeah I give up

I don't know why I thought I could do this

I'm honestly garbage at scripting anyways

[fallen cape]

dw we've all been through that at some point

[ocean escarp]

How hard can I really be to handle several dozen iterative maps under specific tick constraints while maintaining the integrity of the vein being mined and avoiding duplicate loot drops while taking into account enchantments on each block affected

It's honestly preschool level stuff

I think a hello world program is more difficult

[worldly pier]

I mean, what are you trying to do in the first place?

[worldly pier]

For the looks of it, you just want to do a vein miner?

[rich jacinth]

Is there a way to do something along the lines of save a Tickingarea into something like an array for later use

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.7.0/classes/TickingAreaManager.html#getalltickingareas

[rich jacinth]

I'll try that out, thank you :D

[ocean escarp]

Pretty much, none of the ones online have the features I want

[worldly pier]

Just for curiosity, what features does it need to have?

[warped kelp]

Yeah, it uses a tag detection system:

Entity has thag tag at the time of damage, and activates the parry. Restores the health taken, gives it to the attacker. Of course, it also has a damage cap, and it works without the tag.

Let's say the damage cap is 30, the entity gets shot with a super OP damage that deals 200 HP out of the entity's 300, the HP would be taken, calculated to reduce the excess damage from the entity, and subtract, while also healing the entity of the excess damage (except for the 30 damage that did not exceed the cap) so 200 goes in, 30 goes out, and the entity looks like it had a seizure

[fresh comet]

Im too lazy to think about how to make a veinminer, but ig that's about detecting neighbor blocks in given amount of times

[ocean escarp]

Sorry for late reply I thought you'd ping, but I plan to add a config / support enchantments

[wary edge]

Enchantment support is quite easy. I wonder why Marketplace doesnt add them.

[ocean escarp]

/vutil:veinminer_add_block <blockID>
/vutil:veinminer_remove_block <blockID>

Probably not via a command because apparently I can't set up custom commands for the life of me but pretty much this

[worldly pier]

Its ok, don't worry about it.
Did you tought about just using a loop? It doesn't need to be more complicated than that

[ocean escarp]

I'm aware of loops. No veinminer can work without em, my issue was I have 0 clue how queue systems work codewise. I can visualize a flowchart but error in translation

Though it's 2am so i stopped working on it for the night about 2 hours ago

[worldly pier]

Jmm why would you need to use a queue?

[ocean escarp]

Apparently the best method is to just queue all the blocks and resolve the chain backwards

Breadth-first search method

[worldly pier]

What do you mean by all the blocks? wouldn't it be more efficient to just store the target's type blocks and then work with that?

[ocean escarp]

Well yeah that is what you would do

But you still need to queue every instance of that block as a coordinate

So the script knows what to break

I don't think this method support the flow animation I want to add tho

[worldly pier]

Yes but that's the same as just iterating over the array of selected blocks. I guess you can use a queue to do that, but in my opinion thats not necessary.

[ocean escarp]

I'll just spend another 6 hours tomorrow trying to figure it out

I don't got nothing better to do

[worldly pier]

If you store the blocks you selected in order, then it should look fine with animations

[ocean escarp]

I'd have to like save an iteration value

And play each iteration 1 tick after each other

I was never a fan of the instant ones

[worldly pier]

I don't have nothing to do either, so why not help?

[ocean escarp]

This feature was going to be a part of a larger pack

[ocean escarp]

Well it would be appreciated but I'm done working on it for tonight

It may be quite late for me

[worldly pier]

Ok, for me it's still early... So I'll post what I came up with and then I'll tag you so you can check it when you want

[ocean escarp]

Alr I appreciate that

Gn

[hazy nebula]

Is there a way to generate lightning without causing damage or fire?

[worldly pier]

This is my progess for the time being. It works... Kinda, some blocks seem to repeat, in the result list, for some reason and I cannot figure out why... I'll do it later.

import { Block, world, system } from "@minecraft/server";
function veinMiner(startBlock:Block){
  let location= (block:Block) => `${block.x};${block.y};${block.z}` // vector3 -> unique string
  let result: Block[] = [] // all blocks scanned
  let selectedBlocks:Block[] = [startBlock] //soo this end up stransforming into a queue
  let resultLocations:string[]= [location(startBlock)] // all blocks scanned's location in string form
  let blockType = startBlock.typeId // thr block type we're looking for
  for (let i=0; i<10; i++){
    let selected= selectedBlocks.shift()
    if (!selected) break
    let adjacentBlocks:(Block | undefined)[] = [selected.above(), selected.below(), selected.south(), selected.north(), selected.east(), selected.west()]
    for (const block of adjacentBlocks){
      if (!block) continue
      if (location(block) == location(selected)) console.warn("how?")
      if (location(block) in resultLocations) continue // already scanned
      if (block.typeId!=blockType) continue
      selectedBlocks.push(block)
      resultLocations.push(location(block))
      result.push(block)
    }
  }
  return result
}
world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(v=>{
  let heldItem = v.player.getComponent("inventory")?.container!.getItem(v.player.selectedSlotIndex)
  if (!heldItem) return
  if (heldItem.typeId !="minecraft:stick") return
  v.cancel = true
  system.run(()=>{
    let blocks = veinMiner(v.block)
    console.warn(blocks.length)
    for (const block of blocks){
      block.setType("iron_block")
    }
  })
})
console.warn("loaded 123")

[rigid torrent]

Does someone knows if I can spawn a custom entity with a nametag, and it to show when looking at the entity just like any nametag without requiring a game reload

I don't know why it requires me to reload the game in order for the name tag to show normally

Okay, handling it purely with scripting and not relying on JSON fixes it

[warped kelp]

https://streamable.com/ft12nd

Scripts are scary, man

[worldly pier]

New update. This time I take a different approach. I used node trees. It works as expected. It doesn't seem to have bugs. It's only problem seems to be efficiency.

[worldly pier]

.

[warped kelp]

Is there any way to apply the freezing screen from powdered snow via scripts?

[ocean escarp]

Do dynamic properties have to be entity linked?

[distant tulip]

Entity, world, unstackable item

Or players

[ocean escarp]

so I can do world.setDynamicProperty()?

[warm mason]

yes

[ocean escarp]

Well that solves 1 issue

Now I just need to figure out the other 30

I might need a local nested function

I'm still trying to understand queue systems

[ocean escarp]

This isn't right

I feel useless

Now I need to find out how to build a new set from this data...

My head hurts...

Idek if the data is right

I think this is right

But how would I make it recursive

Or I guess progressive

Do I need ANOTHER loop + index to track it????

Don't tell me this is the entire system or I will find a way to block this message.. getting given the correct answer is not good for learning

It's like trying to pass an exam by letting someone whisper the answers to you

It doesn't help me get better

Even if it takes me a week and a few hammers to the head I will figure this out without being given the answer

I want to learn not to plaguerise

[woven loom]

okay

[ocean escarp]

I'm asking for advice on the methods not a full implementation with 0 effort on my part

Whether I'm going the right steps

I know the format I need to build but it's just so difficult

const oreMap = [
[[Loc 1]],
[[Loc 2a], [loc 2b] ...],
[[loc 3a], [loc3b] ...]
]

Then I evaluate each member of oreMap with 1 tick of spacing between them

[ocean escarp]

Is this at least the right approach

@woven loom

Building this structure so I can break the correct ores

[woven loom]

what are you tring to do btw

[ocean escarp]

Just a simple veinminer with a few extra features I can't seem to find anywhere else

But it's the first time I've ever tried to make an "expanding" system

[woven loom]

FUNCTION VeinMineSearch(startBlock, maxBlocks)

    targetType = startBlock.type

    create empty queue
    create empty visited set
    create empty result list

    add startBlock to queue
    add startBlock position to visited

    WHILE queue is not empty

        currentBlock = queue.popFront()

        IF currentBlock.type != targetType
            CONTINUE

        add currentBlock to result

        IF result size >= maxBlocks
            BREAK

        FOR EACH neighboring direction

            nextPosition = currentBlock.position + direction

            IF nextPosition already visited
                CONTINUE

            mark nextPosition as visited

            nextBlock = getBlock(nextPosition)

            IF nextBlock does not exist
                CONTINUE

            IF nextBlock.type != targetType
                CONTINUE

            add nextBlock to queue

    END WHILE

    RETURN result

[ocean escarp]

yeah maybe I'm not cut out for this
I was just going to use a set to avoid duplicates and not have to worry about tracking processed blocks but apparently in Js
A ≠ A

[1, 35, 3] ≠ [1, 35, 3]

[snow pewter]

hi

i have question

i am new developer of minecraft scripting

is typescript optional

[ocean escarp]

Both JavaScript and typescript work but Ts is considered the better of the 2

[distant tulip]

You can't compare arrays that way
It is like comparing my room to yours, even if they are the same in every regard and have same content, they are different

[ocean escarp]

Well I don't suppose there's like array.contents

I'm probably going to end up using encoded strings if that's the case

"x100y-40z3012"

[distant tulip]

What are you trying to compare arrays for

[ocean escarp]

Well I was going to avoid duplicates via sets

But 2 arrays aren't the same so I may have to add strings instead

[distant tulip]

Use set?

[ocean escarp]

location.add([1, 2, 3])
location.add([1, 2, 3])

This would still get added twice

Because the arrays are from different references

[distant tulip]

const dupNumbers = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5];
const numbers = [...new Set(dupNumbers)];

console.log(numbers); 
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Just keep in mind this may not work in all types, so you may need to stringify

[ocean escarp]

I'm going to encode it regardless

It makes sense to decode when it's needed

[worldly pier]

Hai

[woven loom]

hi

[random flint]

hello

[worldly pier]

You should try using nodes

Like a node that may have a parent and some children

[ocean escarp]

No because I already tried racking my brain with classes and constructors and vars in functions. It didn't go well

I'm too simple

[worldly pier]

Oka. But if done right it can simplify code a lot

[ocean escarp]

If I'm struggling to make a basic offset system asking me to use nodes is like telling a preschooler to learn calculus

[worldly pier]

Well you can look at examples online. Just the basic implementation... Nothing to complex as to give you the answer

[ocean escarp]

I think I'll just keep brute forcing my current method

A simple option for a simple guy

[worldly pier]

Oka. Jmm... That could get messy very easily. Well, good luck

[ocean escarp]

I'm not trying to learn advanced programming for a simple task like a veinminer I could probably just download elsewhere for less features but actual functionality

[worldly pier]

Well this is the one I made... It uses the solution I said earlier...

[ocean escarp]

Well at least my encoding works

[worldly pier]

And is not that hard to comprehend either, I myself didn't know about nodes this weekened

[worldly pier]

One problem less

[ocean escarp]

Well it contains a class no?

And classes are complex

At least to me

[worldly pier]

Classes are objects with ribbons

[ocean escarp]

Indeed

And that's too much for me

I can barely write a hello world program

It's a miracle I've gotten this far

[worldly pier]

Ha. You'll learn.

[ocean escarp]

The most messy code you'll ever read

[worldly pier]

Did you know very block has a built in method to get its adjacent blocks

Don't need to use other system

[ocean escarp]

Yes but I'm not running block.east for every direction

Or whatever it is

[worldly pier]

Why not?

[ocean escarp]

It gets more confusing than direction offsets somehow

[worldly pier]

Well you can make an array with all the blocks surrounding the selected one and iterate over them

[random flint]

block.offset() is less wordy personally, you can also change its xyz to your needs

[ocean escarp]

If I'm struggling with basic directions and conditional loops why do you think that changing 1 method will magically solve all my problems

[worldly pier]

I said it because that could help you make things simpler

[ocean escarp]

If I can't figure it out there is 0 downsides to dropping besides the cost fallacy effect or whatever they call it

Maybe im just not built to script

[worldly pier]

No one is born knowing...

I have to go. Bye

[ocean escarp]

Yeah but 99% of developers are what they are because they're good at problem solving

I'm not

Anyways cya

[worldly pier]

Experience.

[ocean escarp]

Besides I think if I wanted to copy someone else's work I would just do that from the Internet

[ocean escarp]

Looking at a sample pack for ideas and yeahhhhhh no I'm not making that

I look up "simple veinminer" and apparently this is all required

[woven loom]

If you'd like, I can give you a simpler version of this.t

[ocean escarp]

I think I'm going to take a break from scripting for while

I have some issues I need to work through right now

[woven loom]

👍

[crude ferry]

😂

lol.

[remote oyster]

Late response but teleporting is what I usually do to update it when nametag is modified so it shows on screen.

[golden holly]

let players = world.getAllPlayers();
    let spawnLoc = {}
    players.forEach(ply => {
        freezePlayer(ply);
        world.sendMessage("player " + ply.name + " is now frozen");
        spawnLoc.x = ply.location.x;
        spawnLoc.y = ply.location.y + 10
        spawnLoc.z = ply.location.z
        storedPos.push(spawnLoc)
    });
    if (storedPos.length <= 1) {
        world.sendMessage("need two player for titan fight")
    }
    spawnTitan(storedPos);```

Can somone help, ths is spawning all titans at same player

[remote oyster]

spawnLoc is the same object for every player, so every entry in storedPos ends up pointing to the last player's coordinates.

[crude ferry]

Just shift let spawnLoc = {}; inside the loop.

Or change storedPos.push(spawnLoc); to storedPos.push({...spawnLoc});

Also unless you're using specifically the last player's location for something. spawnLoc is kinda useless.

[remote oyster]

const players = world.getAllPlayers();
const count = players.length;

if (count < 2) {
    world.sendMessage("Need two players for titan fight");
    return;
}

const storedPos = new Array(count);

for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    const loc = players[i].location;

    freezePlayer(players[i]);

    storedPos[i] = [loc.x, loc.y + 10, loc.z];
}

spawnTitan(storedPos);

@golden holly

[snow pewter]

ohh

is typescript difficult??

[golden holly]

thanks

@remote oyster @crude ferry

but Why didnt my work

it was doing the same thing

[crude ferry]

Objects share memory reference.

[snow pewter]

i have learned javascript but i dont have any idea for typescript

[remote oyster]

TypeScript helps catch errors while you are writing code instead of only finding them when you run the game or world. This gives you real-time feedback, such as warnings for missing properties, incorrect types, or invalid function usage. As a result, development is usually faster, debugging is easier, and you can avoid many common mistakes compared to writing only JavaScript. If you try to learn TypeScript (which I recommend), make sure you compile it to JavaScript because only JavaScript is supported in-game. Using TypeScript is purely for gain in development practices.

[azure sentinel]

With proper knowledge of JavaScript, it's easy.

[crude ferry]

When you change the original spawnLoc, it reflects everywhere else.

[golden holly]

Hmm

Thanks

[crude ferry]

👍

[snow pewter]

ohh so i also need to compile it. why is that so. typescript is on official page of learnmicrosoft.com.

[remote oyster]

TypeScript is not its own runtime language. It is just a layer on top of JavaScript.

[remote oyster]

TypeScript

function add(a: number, b: number): number {
    return a + b;
}

JavaScript

function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

[azure sentinel]

JS has two categories of types: primitives and objects.

Primitives cannot be modified in-place without creating a new one.

[snow pewter]

but is there any difference like some thing is only created by typescript

[crude ferry]

Katie types slower than my prof.

[snow pewter]

lol

[crude ferry]

lol.

[remote oyster]

TypeScript does not generate new capabilities for the game or engine. It only helps you while writing code. Everything it adds disappears after compilation.

[azure sentinel]

Mobile; 1 hand atm

[remote oyster]

I feel that lol

[crude ferry]

Understandable.

[azure sentinel]

How is it funny?

[remote oyster]

If referring to me, I was stating that I can relate and I did so with a sense of humor to lighten the mood....

[azure sentinel]

@ the "lol"s

[snow pewter]

ohh. so can someone guide me how to start and from where to start (is learn.microsoft.com a good source)

[remote oyster]

#off-topic if it's gonna be taken personally....

[thorn flicker]

did your hand get chopped off or something

[azure sentinel]

I was naking sure you all knew that "lol" implies something was funny

[remote oyster]

Oh, of course. "Laughing out loud".

[azure sentinel]

let ne wrap up what im doing irl

[snow pewter]

plz tell

@azure sentinel

@remote oyster

[azure sentinel]

@snow pewter

[remote oyster]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/typescript

[azure sentinel]

also Discord for Android is broken on latest update

[snow pewter]

okay

[azure sentinel]

I can't hold phone sideways like I used to

[thorn flicker]

so landscape mode isnt working?

[remote oyster]

Which keyboard is that?

[thorn flicker]

you sure you dont have it locked

[snow pewter]

what phone is that

[azure sentinel]

It's only Discord that is bugged out.

[thorn flicker]

weird

[snow pewter]

okay i am also coming in few minutes

[azure sentinel]

I can bring up the keyboard fine in another app.

[remote oyster]

This is what it looks like for me right now.

[azure sentinel]

Is the app fully updated? Are you on Android? Did you tap the text box while holding it sideways?

[remote oyster]

On Android and the app is on the latest version

Might be related to the keyboard you are using.

[azure sentinel]

Shouldn't be. Worked fine before updating Discord.

[remote oyster]

Try using the default keyboard to rule it out

[sharp elbow]

And you didn't disable auto-rotate in your device settings, right?

[remote oyster]

Yea it doesn't behave like that on my end. Try using the original keyboard that comes stock on your device.

[sharp elbow]

Odd. Modern software do be buggy these days

[remote oyster]

If that keyboard works fine then it's the custom keyboard you are using which is bugging out.

[azure sentinel]

This is an old keyboard app, but this isn't the latest Android version either.

[remote oyster]

Still need to rule it out by testing with the keyboard that is stock for the device.

[azure sentinel]

Keyboard or something. I hate how Google broke Android

[remote oyster]

Gonna get worse when they begin their transition to mimic Apple. Except it won't be functionally the same because Google is known to be incomplete when developing projects and then abandoning them to create another project which is essentially the same as the last one just reskinned lol.

[azure sentinel]

As a power user, I already know that.

[remote oyster]

Google Allo is a good example lol.

For those that remember it 😂

[azure sentinel]

"Allo"?

[remote oyster]

Oh you don't know about Allo?

Go Google that disaster

Haha

[azure sentinel]

typo?

[remote oyster]

No it was actually called Google Allo

[azure sentinel]

Look are we going to talk about my phone which I'm not a dumb i**ot about or will we talk about the Script API here?

[remote oyster]

Did you check the stock keyboard to see if the problem persist?

[azure sentinel]

The closest in name I recall is something by Google with Holo in its name.

[remote oyster]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Allo

[azure sentinel]

I already answered that.

[remote oyster]

Where? I didn't see it.

[azure sentinel]

…

[remote oyster]

That didn't clearly answer the question. Looks like a random statement or opinion.

[azure sentinel]

[It is the] keyboard or something. snip

[remote oyster]

.....

Custom Keyboard
broken on Discord

Stock Keyboard
broken or not broken (yes or no)

[azure sentinel]

How dumb at tech do you think I am?
Also, how old you think I am?

[remote oyster]

I'm literally asking a yes or no question regarding your stock keyboard and you keep dancing around it.... I already know your custom keyboard don't work on discord because you showed a recorded video of it but you have yet to give a clear and precise yes or no answer regarding your stock keyboard.

[sullen ocean]

I would have moved to this account sooner if not you all making me stay typing on that phone.

I answered. You didn't listen even after I pointed it out. Blocked.

[remote oyster]

No where does this say yes or no

[sullen ocean]

Not even going to look at the messages. I'm not fond of people pestering me non-stop.

[snow pewter]

i am back

[remote oyster]

Blocking me won't hurt my feelings. You are welcome to do so.

[sullen ocean]

Hello Crazy... Note that I am the same person as @azure sentinel (verify by looking at the bio of this account I'm typing from and that account I am pinging here).

... also note I'm going to be missing out on some messages due to being pestered nonstop as if they are intentionally trying to rile me up.

[remote oyster]

I'm aware it's you on both accounts.... Dancing around a yes or no question and claiming you gave a yes or no answer is what is actually crazy in this conversation lol

[sullen ocean]

^ that one... whoever it is.

I only blocked because of them being extremely persistent as if I'm dumber than a Beta fish.

[snow pewter]

can you tell me do's and dont's while learning or while making an script behavior pack. i mean give me some advises. it will help me a lot

[sullen ocean]

I am only used to JavaScript, not TypeScript.

[remote oyster]

Too many to list. It really depends on what you are doing.

[snow pewter]

it will be okay. for now i am also not doing typescript

[sullen ocean]

Some of it could apply to TS, but do note that to set up TypeScript for use with Bedrock requires extra stuff... and most recommended is a Windows 10 / 11 (or Linux if you have it set up right) computer

TypeScript is a transpiled language, meaning it must be converted to another language to be used. It also heavily focuses on stuff being already "defined".

As in if something just came out and there is no defnintion for it, the TypeScript transpiler would complain.

[snow pewter]

i just want to make a cool server using js behavior pack like custom command, actionform (custom menus for shop or for other stuff), and the main thing newly introduced custom biome api.

[sullen ocean]

JavaScript however is quite... prone to making errors with.
Though I should mention this immediately: Avoid LLMs for any sort of coding project whenever possible

To make a "cool server", you'd need a modified server software.

[remote oyster]

Start small. You will make mistakes, don't be afraid to Google the mistakes. Just make sure you take time to understand the mistake so it makes sense on why that mistake is actually a mistake. This will help you grow. Don't use AI as a crutch. It can and will make mistakes. It's ok to use it as a tool. If done so properly.

[snow pewter]

yeah i do have windows 10 laptop

[sullen ocean]

Though I'd first recommend starting out making something basic.
It is pretty much a bad idea to dive into the deep end of a swimming pool without knowing how to swim, as they say.

[shy leaf]

i can confirm this

[sullen ocean]

@remote oyster ... Please try to be understanding next time. I'm not so good with what seems like people pestering me. I'll unblock you for now.

[snow pewter]

i thought about that but i also need that it will be based on bds so i can also add behavior pack if i need

then i listened about levilamina and endstone

they are best for vanila minecraft

but the problem with endstone is there is not huge library

[sullen ocean]

Starting small and learning about how Add-ons themselves work should be relatively helpful.
For an example, you'd still need Add-ons for some functionality like certain types of custom GUIs to work.

[snow pewter]

and levilamina does update to latest bds after very much time

[remote oyster]

Yeah, no, I’m not playing into that victim game. I was polite and calm the entire time. I was simply trying to assist and help by stating it would be wise to test the stock keyboard to rule it out, to determine whether Discord was actually the problem or if it was isolated to the custom keyboard. You then turned it upside down by insinuating that I was questioning your age and intelligence. Neither of which I did.

[sullen ocean]

I'm not good with stress... you probably can understand how I've been riled up in the past and had to learn the hard way to block people.

[remote oyster]

Read my bio real quick.

[sullen ocean]

I can probably guess what that is without Googling it. Apologizes for getting agitated so easily.

[remote oyster]

I'm not interested in games. I'm just here to help when I can. The drama is meaningless to me. Simply don't have time for it.

[azure sentinel]

Breakfast so stepping away from the laptop (anf its account) to go eat.

[remote oyster]

Same myself. Getting the shakes.

[shy leaf]

holy shit

you good?

[remote oyster]

Yes I'm good. As good as I can be.

[snow pewter]

feeling bad for you

[azure sentinel]

PTSD here

[snow pewter]

bro enjoy life as much as you can

[azure sentinel]

On top of high-functioning autism… not the most fun of combinations

[snow pewter]

do you know about levilamina and endstone

[crude ferry]

I was literally about to DM you like last hour asking if it's true but I thought it might be offensive.
I am really sorry dude.

:(
D:

[shy leaf]

ive heard about endstone

but dont know about it much

nor levilamina

[remote oyster]

It's alright. No need to. We all have a clock looking down on us until this life expires. Some are just sooner than others. Tomorrow isn't promised. So live life each day as if it were your last because it could very well be your last 👌

[crude ferry]

:)

[snow pewter]

okay

🙂

[shy leaf]

but uhhhh yeah idk if we (or at least i) can help with stuff like BDS that much, maybe in #1478215043601399818

[crude ferry]

My man is more enthusiastic than people who are healthy. Gotta learn from it actually.

[remote oyster]

No, it's true. Found out back in February.

[crude ferry]

I'm sorry.

[remote oyster]

Life works that way. Just have to learn to be content with the cards that are dealt.

[snow pewter]

i have run bds with 10 players for almost 2-3 months but they left one by one because they got busy

[shy leaf]

10 players doesnt sound bad

i often ran dedicated servers in other games and ive only got a full 32 players in the server for only once

it never happened again

[azure sentinel]

When one knows their life is about to end, one of a few outcomes can happen normally:

• Feel down (causes body to weaken)
• Stay positive (allows the body to keep working better)

When feeling down, your immune system cannot properly function at full capacity.

[crude ferry]

Shit dude feeling like a bad person for complaining so much now.

Aww man :(

[azure sentinel]

This also applies for injuries and surgeries.

[remote oyster]

BDS is my preferred way. Just need decent CPU and RAM to handle the entities loaded in the world, all of the chunks that accumulate as players move around the world, and the number of players actively playing at any given time.

[azure sentinel]

It's probably another reason why young ones get those candy after a blood draw or immunity shot at the doctor.

Keeps them not only distracted but also happy.

[snow pewter]

i am just a beginner @shy leaf

[shy leaf]

my advice? note down everything that comes in your mind

like a sort of brainstorming

you first start with ideas

[azure sentinel]

Eactly. That's also adbice I give others (let me [eventually] head back to my room to type it out)

[snow pewter]

yeah i mostly like bedrock edition and their player i can make a java server but there are not much java players but bedrock community is huge

[snow pewter]

i have multiple thats why i am learning scripting

[remote oyster]

You will learn over time. As you learn you will find your self being capable of making more complex modifications. For now stick with the easy stuff. Nothing complicated. Simple, but functional.

[snow pewter]

i today only tried latest new dimension using latest beta api it was void world only but creating that was fun (and yes i took help of llm)

[remote oyster]

In case you don't know this is a great source for looking at the various API's out there.

https://stirante.com/script/

[azure sentinel]

Honestly, there was something called Minetest (now it is called Luanti) that not only had a lot more buildable space before JE expanded (still out-does both Minecraft versions vertically), it also had built-in mod support (like Bedrock's auto-download) and supported more platforms natively before Bedrock did

[snow pewter]

yeah i have also made a simple thing which was giving out a message in chat if every few seconds

[sullen ocean]

The only downside for Luanti is if you try to compare it to Minecraft... you'll end up disappointed.

[shy leaf]

i learned scripting with just one motivation of turning an idea into a real thing, the result was crappy but it did gain attention to the point where i didnt expect it

so yeah youll get there

[sullen ocean]

Luanti's website btw: https://www.luanti.org/

[sullen ocean]

Wow, I didn't even realize I typo'd there...
Anyways time to type the advice in full.

[snow pewter]

btw where do you live i mean in which country

[shy leaf]

hello from south korea

[sullen ocean]

This applies to various forms of creativity, from writing novels, to drawing, to ideas for games, etc. etc.

• Keep notebooks around as well as a pencil or something to write with.
• Write down any idea ASAP -- Don't trust your memory to remember it.
• Even if an idea is dumb, still write it down. This is an important one!
• With physical notebooks, even if lined, you can sketch out ideas as well (doing simple sketches works).
• Never, I repeat, NEVER destroy any ideas nor throw away any pages, just because you think they are not "good enough".
• Whenever you want inspiration, go look though your collections. Even the dumbest of ideas of your past can spark one amazingly creative idea in the future.

[snow pewter]

ohh

[sullen ocean]

USA for me.
Airport code PDX or Portland International Airport always has the same time that I do (meaning I could live extremely close by, or anywhere else within the state that shares the time zone of it)

[snow pewter]

so you are still awake

[shy leaf]

was about to sleep

[sullen ocean]

By the way, this still exists in Windows 11 somehow

[snow pewter]

ohh

[sullen ocean]

whoops... forgot to blur or what-not the name

[snow pewter]

you are in 29 may 2026 i am still in 28

[shy leaf]

wait a minute

how did our mutual friend even happen

or did i mention this already

[sullen ocean]

I have no idea... my memory is sub-par

[shy leaf]

[sullen ocean]

I wish I was joking... PTSD is a real [BOINK!] of a problem

[snow pewter]

so you are still in morning

[sullen ocean]

As shown form this screenshot I took a moment ago (IRL time)? Yes.

[snow pewter]

hmm

i always found this funny becuse all of us are on same planet but facing different times

[sullen ocean]

Looks like Luanti got an update recently.

[snow pewter]

this is my time !!!

[sullen ocean]

Stupid question... is this cursed in anyone's eyes

[snow pewter]

wth

[sullen ocean]

(Note: the tab isn't built into stock Windows)

[snow pewter]

ohh

so you are running windows in a tab??

[crude ferry]

Katie ain't using the right channels!

[sullen ocean]

It's called getting distracted and / or forgetting...

[lethal lichen]

has anyone benchmarked the cost of calling BlockVolume.translate()? is it simple property updating internally or is it doing more expensive calculations?

[crude ferry]

I wanted to but forgot to answer this last night lol.

If you are proefficient with JS. You don't have to "learn" TS.

Just do 3-4 projects and search when you are stuck.

Fun fact: Once you learn JS or any language. You don't have to "learn" any other language (maybe a little with low level languages tho.)

The thinking process transferrs.

[random flint]

Nah, if you started with JS, you probably want to learn data type, other languages is kinda strict about it.

[crude ferry]

Just because JS is dynamically typed doesn't mean it don't require knowledge of data types lol.

It just removes explicit declarations, not the concept itself.

[slow walrus]

eh this isn't exactly true, a lot of the basic knowledge does carry over but if you tried to switch from say JS to Rust, you'd very quickly run into issues with borrow-checking, strict typings, and so on

[crude ferry]

Well that's how it was for me learning Python, C and Java 🤷‍♂️

Though I can see that happening, yeah.

[snow pewter]

i have learned python and javascript

[tardy pivot]

is there a way to detect whenever a player crafts an item?

[crude ferry]

Unfortunately no.
You can however check if an item has changed from an inventory so in theory you can make a very bruteforce way to check it.

If you plan to do it the bruteforce way (which you most probably shouldn't lol.) you might wanna use https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1505049568574701593

But obviously this method has many quirks that you cannot really do anything about.

[buoyant canopy]

No body should ever learn java for the purpose of building new programs with it again, Kotlin is so much SO MUCH, soooo much better

you might wanna learn java if you want to dig through libraries that you're using or browse the source code from java mods or other programs, but you should never write code in java if you are just entering

I think the only reason to write anything in java is if you already know it, otherwise don't

[tardy pivot]

dang, I'll look unto it thanks!

[sage portal]

Still a javascript amateur: If something in an runInterval has a lot of math to go through and there's no need for it to happen in order, is that the time to use an asynchronous function for optimization?
Or is this moreso case by case?

[crude ferry]

No, Async only yields control when it is waiting for an external event.

An asynchronous function executes synchronously until it hits the first await.

[woven loom]

should use job instead

[crude ferry]

Yes.

Make it a generator function and do system.runJob() instead.

[sage portal]

I'll look into what generator functions are, thanks

[golden holly]

Curious what your heavy Calc is

I'm also doing soemthing same

[sage portal]

doing shockwave calculations.
It's simple on its own, but when there are numerous entities to check for, it starts slowing the whole thing down.

Realistically I'm only doing this for a minecraft map, so it's nothing I'm pressed about since I'm not really going to worry about high entity count for conventional gameplay, but I'd like to find any opportunity to optimize whenever I can.

[stray spoke]

there's an api like applyKnockback that acys like a shockwave by positioning where it starts "exploding" knockback

while applyImpulse is responsive to entity's position, or I'm wrong

[worldly pier]

Would anyone be interested in a Python util for mobile?
The script just zips and add-on and does some stuff to it.
Basically it takes an add-on path, it increases the version in the manifest. if specified, it runs the command "tsc" for typescript functionality. And then it zips the add-on, and opens a menu to open the mcpack with minectaft. Obviously it doesn't has typescript in it, nor the zip library, you would need to install those by hand

[crude ferry]

I'm not entirely sure what you need this for 😂

Why so specific.

[worldly pier]

When you're on mobile and want to make an addon, there's no way of debugging it without importing it to minectaft. Everytime you want to do that, you need to change the version of the addon, compress it, and change the extension to "mcpack". Also If youre using TypeScript, you need to do the extra step to compile it to js.
So, for efficiency purposes, I did a Python script that does all of that automatically. Thats it.

It may not seem like much: "its just changing the versions number, compressing and changing the extension" but when you need to do this a lot of times, it gets boring.

[crude glacier]

How to add lore to items

But in inventory

Creative inventory as example

[cinder shadow]

Did anything change recently with dimension.findClosestBiome? I'm suddenly getting errors with this line but as far as I'm seeing it's unchanged ```js
const biome = dimension.findClosestBiome(location, currentBiome.id, {boundingSize: {x: 64, y: 64, z: 64}});

[crude glacier]

What the error

[cinder shadow]

extremely useful don't act shocked

[crude glacier]

🫪

Lemme check

[cinder shadow]

mmm, this part of my add-on have actually been broken for a very long time

I recall I had to use findClosestBiome and BiomeTypes.getall() in the past, but now I can just use dimension.getBiome();

[crude glacier]

Can you provide something useful

Like a getBiome function itself

And what did you pass as arguments for it

[crude glacier]

Oh , then use it

[cinder shadow]

yeah, I don't think dimension.getBiome existed then

but it also had some other issues that I need to check

Lush Caves and the biome on the surface were completely flipped

[crude glacier]

Oh

Why don't you use claude AI to update your codes

[cinder shadow]

I didn't even know it was something that was broken and I have no reason to use claudeAI to just delete a section of code and change 1 line lol

I use codex

[crude glacier]

Oh ok then good

Wait , since when you are developing runecraft !

[cinder shadow]

? I am the only developer of RuneCraft

[crude glacier]

🫪

No i mean since when

I remember that UI is very familiar

I remembered that i've seen an image of it since 2023

[cinder shadow]

2021

[crude glacier]

Damn 🫪🙏

You are developing runecraft since 2021

[proud saddle]

is there a better way to rotate canera around block without using camera:free with animations?
i tried to use it but now matter how many keyframes i add it does'nt move rights in the first and the last keyframe

[proud saddle]

i'm talking about that moves which outside the circle
they are in first and the last keyframe

[late ore]

I think that i'm doing something wrong
Since the V26 came out my scripts aren't working, i'm trying to fix the Tubby Custard Machine script but i think that i'm doing it wrong.

[wary edge]

You're using an old scripting version.

[late ore]

ok

i'm not expert in the scripting topic. i think that a Dev Team could be good because i'm doing Slendytubbies Blockwar all by myself

[woven loom]

We are at 2.7.0 now

[shy leaf]

creative inventory as in, before you take/spawn the item from creative tab?

[shy leaf]

i think i got that once, but i forgot how to resolve it...

[crude ferry]

Oh you already made it.

I thought you're asking how to make one.

You might wanna put it in #1072983602821861426 then.

[worldly pier]

Yes, but I was asking because I don't know if it will be worth it. Mobile development seems still a bit niche.

[crude ferry]

Pretty sure there are a lot of Mobile devs here so yeah you can.

[chrome flint]

do custom commands run on .runCommand()?

[crude ferry]

Yes.

[crude glacier]

Whot ?

[shy leaf]

you need to be more specific with "creative inventory"

[crude glacier]

I mean just lores

Without putting the lore in item's name using \n

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.ItemStack.html#setlore
https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.ContainerSlot.html#setlore

[crude glacier]

Yeah but. I want it to be there in creative's is inventory

[shy leaf]

creative inventory is not really different though?

[crude glacier]

No i mean in the Equipment slot , construction slot

Etc...

I mean let s say the player searches for that item in the creative search section

And he hovers over it

[shy leaf]

nope, not possible

[crude glacier]

Sad : (

So only when the item is in the player's hotbar it is possible?

[shy leaf]

only when the item exists in world

[crude glacier]

Hmm ok

[warped kelp]

Is there a way to detect both backward movement and crouching? I wanna try adding a parry system where a player must "pull back" (move backward) and sneak at the same time

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html#issneaking

[warped kelp]

Thanks

[deep arrow]

Im assuming their still isnt a good way to make a custom fishing rod

[olive sphinx]

Not to my knowledge

[crude glacier]

I just figured out something

[sleek nexus]

What's that?

[lyric kestrel]

What's that?

[warm mason]

"something"

[stray spoke]

And legends say he still never told what's something

Someone named Hana taking notes

[thorn flicker]

jumpscare

[full island]

been looking for a minute and cant find an answer to this, is it possible to use scripts to give above vanilla enchants? Like sharpness x efficiency 20 etc
Only way I know how to do it rn is nbt editing players or villager trades which I'd rather not do for a BDS world

[olive sphinx]

No, the script limits it too

[full island]

damn that sucks, thanks

[worldly heath]

is it possible to get data of a holding item ?

for detecting a specific potion

[shut citrus]

anyone got bug with includePassableBlocks: false, includeLiquidBlocks: true?

I can't detect liquidBlocks when includePassableBlocks is false

[halcyon phoenix]

is there any ways to detect player movement such as wasd without the player moving?

[distant tulip]

Use inputInfo

And disable player control

The movement vector get updated regardless

[halcyon phoenix]

input info detects that now? wasnt that just jump and sneak before?

oh that's inputButton

[distant tulip]

Not the event

[halcyon phoenix]

Alright ima try it, thanks for the info Minato

[distant tulip]

Player.inputInfo.something

Np

[crude ferry]

Pretty sure that is the intentional design.

Liquid are passable blocks.

[shut citrus]

that liquid not block🥲

[wary edge]

Liquids are blocks.

[crude ferry]

Lol I misspelled intentional.

[shut citrus]

why they add this useless option

[crude ferry]

You'd have to ask a Moyang staff to get an answer.

(😂)

[wary edge]

Its not useless. 😁 its useful for other blocks.

[shy cape]

What should i use to cancel a player breaking/mining a block whether it is survival or creative

[wary edge]

Before player break block.

[shy cape]

Thanks !

[amber nest]

how do i modify my script in game

whats the path to the behavior packs of my world

you are not supposed to do that way, are you on mobile or pc device?

No

[crude ferry]

    includePassableBlocks: true,
    includeLiquidBlocks: true,
    excludeTypes: ["minecraft:tallgrass", "minecraft:yellow_flower", "minecraft:red_flower", "minecraft:vine"],
};```

These 4 are just examples. I am not sure about the entire list of passable blocks.

[subtle cove]

#announcements message

[shy leaf]

why does EntityQueryOptions has minDistance, but not EntityRaycastOptions

😭

[worldly pier]

Why would you need something like that?

[shy leaf]

for checking if an entity is within spear reach

well at least thats my use case

[sharp elbow]

Hm. If you wanted to go the extra mile, you could do the ray/box intersection yourself. The slab method is pretty easy to implement and you can use it to get precise distances

I followed this resource when implementing it for my project.
https://tavianator.com/2022/ray_box_boundary.html

What's cool is you could run this in parallel on a selection of mobs and have precise intersection results for each of them. You can that to know, in which order, a given line of mobs would be hit in

[shy leaf]

ooo

[snow pewter]

@shy leaf

hi

This page and other do have all codes in type script what if i dont want to code in typescript and want to write code in javascript where do i learn from and most imp that must be updated to latest beta api version (stable)

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

[crude ferry]

If you know JS. Reading TS without even learning it isn't that hard.

[snow pewter]

hmmmm

all syntax are same in both??

[crude ferry]

No.

[snow pewter]

ohh

[hardy tusk]

If you cancel the damage then apply it again it would cause an infinite loop

[shy leaf]

yeah it did

[hardy tusk]

You need to set some sort of variable to stop it on the 2nd turn

[prisma shard]

that doesnt somehow go for me tho

[crude ferry]

I already know TS so I cannot "unsee" it, maybe that's why lol.

I try to imagine what it'd be like to read TS for someone who only knows JS and it seems perfectly readable lol.

[shy leaf]

TYPESCRIPT CAN KISS MY ASS

HOW CAN NUMBER EVEN BE THERE???

https://tenor.com/view/door-disassembly-door-breakdown-breaking-door-door-gif-20313531

[amber nest]

is there a before event for entity die

[crude ferry]

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

That's the closest. This isn't exactly "beforeDie."

[honest spear]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1067535608660107284/1491404990697177138/bao-users-types.gif

[snow knoll]

Btw, this event isn't possible to cancel since when entity remove is called the entity has already died
If you want to cancel an entity death, use the beforeEvent for damage

[snow jungle]

When getting a block location, if a block is a chest, is possible to see if its a connected double chest vs a individual single chest?

[amber nest]

i wanted to to smt with the inventory

[amber nest]

thx

[nova tartan]

Isn't using entityRemove kind of bad though since this also triggers for entities that go out of render distance right?

[wary edge]

*Simulation distance

And you are right yes.

[nova tartan]

Sim right..

[wary edge]

What you can do is use entityHurtBefore event to check if the damage is fatal

[crude ferry]

Yes.

[snow jungle]

Can you point to me the documentation for that?

[crude ferry]

Get the inventory component and if it has 54 slots it's a double chest.

If it has 27 it's a single chest.

[snow jungle]

codex told me that as well, i was hoping for a better solution but thank you

[amber nest]

okie

[crude ferry]

I don't think there's any other solution, really.

Or at least not to my knowledge.

You can bruteforce it of course by getting each block around it and checking it's permutation.

[snow jungle]

Thank you

Does anyone want a project developed by an experienced FiveM and Minecraft developer?

[shy leaf]

why does my typescript yeet off enums that i wrote 💀

cant have shit in typescript

[amber rapids]

??

[shy leaf]

i have no idea either

😭

everytime i compile, it just removes whatever new stuff i wrote

[amber rapids]

I don't understand what you're trying to describe.

[shy leaf]

i added new enums in a file
i compile the pack
VSC removes the enums and fail to compile

no logs about it either

[amber rapids]

How did you compile it? VSCode can't compile it. Did you use tsc?

[shy leaf]

im using regolith

oh hey look, type_gen filter is the one removing my enums

[INFO]  Running filter type_gen
[INFO]  [type_gen] Enum written to packs\data\gametests\src\Files.ts

...but HOW IS THAT EVEN RELEVANT

[crude ferry]

Someones been struggling with TS for the past day perhaps.

[shy leaf]

im on the brink of breaking a table

[crude ferry]

You need fresh eyes.

[amber rapids]

I’ll take a look at Bedrock-OSS/regolith; I haven’t used it before.

[shy leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-squidward-krusty-krab-training-video-poop-gif-13429955355820746777

[amber rapids]

It looks like Bedrock-OSS/regolith is an add-on packaging tool.

[shy leaf]

yeah it is

[amber rapids]

I took a quick look at the Bedrock-OSS/regolith documentation, and it has a lot of features. But the config.json file seems pretty complicated.

I've recently been working on https://github.com/mcbe-mods/create, which offers similar functionality. If you're interested, feel free to check it out (it hasn't been published on npm yet).

[shy leaf]

bet

[last latch]

Do you use the enum?

Maybe regolith removes stuff you do not use

[round bone]

It's because that they’re constant. Constant enums are inlined

[shy leaf]

i was told that the file was autogenerated

which was why it kept overwriting

[shy leaf]

also yes, as you can see above

[crude ferry]

Funny thing but I wonder why is location a property and getHeadLocation a method on Entity class lol?

[shy leaf]

probably because getting head location needs extra calculation?

since head location varies on entities

[crude ferry]

Ahh yeah.

Could have made it a getter.

[worldly heath]

whats the best way to count specific blocks in a certain volume?

any better way than looping through 3 axis?

[wary edge]

Use dimension.getBlocks

[worldly heath]

thanks ill try

[amber nest]

yes

[nova tartan]

DARKOAK_STANDING_SIGN = 'minecraft:darkoak_standing_sign',
DARKOAK_WALL_SIGN = 'minecraft:darkoak_wall_sign',```
It's always nice when you're going through block ids in Minecraft to find out this is how they do the standing and wall signs for dark oak.

Everything else is labeled minecraft:dark_oak_ which is correct but for some reason they made these two darkoak instead.

W Mojang.. 😭

[nova tartan]

Also take END_STONE_BRICK_DOUBLE_SLAB = 'minecraft:end_stone_brick_double_slab' for example.. everything so far has always been BLOCK_TYPE + _DOUBLE_SLAB but for exposed cut copper double slab it's: exposed_double_cut_copper_slab like why bruh 💀

[olive sphinx]

💀

[thorn ocean]

Does anyone have a stable version of Block.isSolid, since it is still in beta?

[nova tartan]

WHY IS POWERED RAIL minecraft:golden_rail 💀 💀 💀

I guess this is what happens when you go looking into minecraft properly

[last latch]

it kinda makes sense tho

[olive sphinx]

Because it is made with gold

[nova tartan]

No

That's not normal 😭

Can we rename redstone_torch to stick_and_redstone_torch then?

And every other item..

[last latch]

not really

golden rail is a rail but made with gold

[nova tartan]

a redstone torch is a torch made with a stick though 🤷‍♂️

so... lol

[open urchin]

it's still a lot better than reeds

[nova tartan]

yh lmao

[last latch]

then why isnt golden rail named gold_stick_and_redstone_rail?

[nova tartan]

who knows

[last latch]

its the same logic tho

[nova tartan]

Still can't change my mind about these though.. cause this is just silly: ts DARKOAK_STANDING_SIGN = 'minecraft:darkoak_standing_sign', DARKOAK_WALL_SIGN = 'minecraft:darkoak_wall_sign',

[open urchin]

I think that identifier was added before dark oak had an identifier anywhere else and they chose to go without the space
If they chose to match the texture names it would be big_oak which is even worse

[thorn ocean]

Never mind, I just created my own stable version that actually works.

[woven loom]

share?

[olive sphinx]

It is not the same

[restive gate]

hello,
Any optimized recommendations for limiting custom entities by zone or player? It would involve using world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe

[sharp elbow]

Just stay away from stone_slab 2–4

Is it possible to make an entity search for the nearest horse and raid it ?

[harsh dawn]

yo did u ever find a way to do it cuz im trying to figure out the same thing rn

[hazy nebula]

It seems there's no way to cancel the lightning strike. I think we could use "beforeEvent.entitySpawn" to save the current health, then add fire resistance for 5 seconds, and after the lightning deals damage, reset the health to its original level.

[wary edge]

Why not use before entity hurt?

[amber nest]

is it possible to cancel the damage a hit did?

[wary edge]

Entity Hurt Before Event.

[amber nest]

same response lol

[amber nest]

thx

[remote oyster]

Instead of canceling you can set the damage to 0.

world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((event) {
    event.damage = 0
});

Just another option based on preference.

[amber nest]

yh i prefer this option

thxxx

[snow knoll]

Does this make knockback happen still?
Just a bit curious

[remote oyster]

To be fair, I can't remember. My short term memory is shot. So you would have to test and verify.

[amber nest]

i mean it should

[snow knoll]

A shame
My version of the game is too low 🥲

[amber nest]

ill test it rq

[snow knoll]

Thats what I was thinking

[amber nest]

yep everything its normal

u just dont take damage from the hit but u still take the knockback etc

[snow knoll]

Thank you 👍
I think I'll probably use that more often than event cancelling, for when i start using the beforeEvent, better suits my needs

[amber nest]

theres just one problem

the knock back without damage its strange

[snow knoll]

Strange?

What's it like exactly?

[amber nest]

accept friend

ill show u with ss

or just join vc

[worldly pier]

another solution, if you want to keep the knock-back, is to give that player resistance level 250

that was the old method of canceling damage in maps

[snow knoll]

I dont really do vc, so is this ok?

[amber nest]

u dont need to talk

i wont talk too

[snow knoll]

Sure

[remote oyster]

There is still knockback after testing moments ago, but you can minimize that knockback pretty good with the following example:

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

world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((event) => {
    event.damage = 0;
    system.run(() => {
        event.hurtEntity.clearVelocity();
    });
});

[snow knoll]

Thanks 👍
I might do some experimentation with velocity to see if i can cancel the velocity that happens when the player is hit, instead of all velocity

[glad wren]

Does getmovementvector work with movement input permission set to disabled?

[shy leaf]

it should

[cinder shadow]

Weird.. latest preview did some very strange stuff. I have an item with a custom onUseOn component that is somehow causing a content log "read-only" error for a temp property in a completely different file. If I don't use the items on the ground, the error never fires and the code/temp property work as intended.

Actually. This file isn't even in a "read-only" section, it's a function ran in a system.runInterval

if (!player.__staminaTimeout) player.__staminaTimeout = 0;

That's all line 30 is, and it's not in a read-only function

Okay something is broken with all temporary properties

Commented out that entire file and tested another one using them

@valid ice You use properties like this too still, right? Can you see if the same thing happens to you

[warm mason]

why not just cancel the event?

[amber nest]

we want the classic knockback without damage

[warm mason]

then, why using clearVelocity?

[amber nest]

if u set the damage to 0 u get a strange knockback

[warm mason]

https://tenor.com/view/what-processing-umm-huh-wtf-gif-23870428

[amber nest]

like the knockback in zeqa in the gamemode sumo

but exaggerated

[warm mason]

so, u want vanilla knockback and that's why u're not cancelling the event, but set damage to 0, but vanilla knockback is "strange" and u use clearVelocity to get no knockback at all

what's the point?..

[amber nest]

better to have no knockback than a strange knockback

lol

[warm mason]

then just cancel the event, bruh

[amber nest]

i want the hit effect

[warm mason]

wdym hit effect?

[amber nest]

entity turns red

and critic

and i dont want to use any effect

so thats why

[stray spoke]

You should try and see first

[remote oyster]

Canceling the event interrupts part of the damage pipeline, which can delay hit feedback. It can also cause strange feedback if you have other scripts using the same event (I had to find this out the hard way). So what I shared above doesn't necessarily get rid of the knockback. It only minimizes the threshold so it's not overly dramatic when you hit the entity. You can see how dramatic it is if you test for yourself.

[worldly pier]

someone said this was a bug, they already fixed it in the preview

[amber nest]

oh nice

[floral copper]

guys what am i doing wrong here, im trynna make it so that when it rains, the player gets regeneration

const Odim = world.getDimension("overworld")
            if (Odim.getWeather() == "rain") {
                player.addEffect("regeneration", TicksPerSecond * 3, { amplifier: 0, showParticles: false })
            }

the error says not a function at line 23 ( the "if" line )

is getWeather not a function or smth 😭

[amber nest]

maybe its still in beta idk

[stray spoke]

Use weather change event

Oh

import {world,WeatherType,TicksPerSecond} from "@minecraft/server"

world.afterEvents.weatherChange.subscribe(data => {
  const {newWeather, previousWeather, dimension} = data;
  const Players = world.getPlayers()
  
  if(newWeather !== WeatherType.Rain) return;
  
  for(const player of Players){
    player.addEffect("regeneration", TicksPerSecond * 3, {showParticles: false})
  }
})

test

Hey Guys i'm trying the new CustomForm script api but i can't get it to work, here's my code and manifest

{
      "module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
      "version": "2.1.0-beta"
    },

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((e : any) => {
    system.run(() => {
        log("hi")
        const player = world.getPlayers()[0];
        
        /*const toggleValue = new ObservableBoolean(false, {clientWritable : true})
        toggleValue.subscribe((v : boolean) => {
            log(`value changed to ${v}`)
        })*/
        try {
            const form = new CustomForm(player, "test");
            form.button("test button", () => {
                log("button pressed")
                //toggleValue.setData(true)
            })
            //.toggle("test toggle", toggleValue)
            .show()
        } catch (error: any){
            log(error)
        }
    })
})

i get the error: Invalid constructor called (on the line where CustomForm is made)

i also can't create an ObservableBoolean, when i try to says something about not a function at anonymos or something

also i'm playing on the 1.26.21-stable

[wary edge]

This is for 26.30

Make sure you read the right docs next time.

[nova tartan]

What's causing these dataDrivenEntityTrigger events to happen in a normal world? I just made an event logger to check what events are running.

I don't quite get the entities healing are health change either. Do these trigger just from them spawning?

[warm mason]

it triggers when entity custom event is triggered, for example if entity has something like this in json ```json
"events": {
"minecraft:entity_spawned": {}
}

[nova tartan]

Ah, gotcha. That'll be quite a lot then.

I guess it would be good to filter that event out then. I already filtered out the playerButtonInput event since that would spam from jumping and sneaking.

[stray spoke]

creating Observable is like

Observable.create(true, {clientWritable: true})

So you don't need to manually import all types of observable

And custom form like this:

CustomForm.create(player, "Form Title")

[wary edge]

Which is changed in 26.30 fyi which releases in 2 weeks.

[stray spoke]

Oh

[unkempt siren]

Thankyou

Too bad that these forms are in OreUI, would have made some very nice uis if it were json ui

[worldly heath]

anyways to move an itemstack player mainHand to another entity's ? getcomponent(equippable) isnt working at all on anything other than player

[wary edge]

Not really no without losing data.

[worldly heath]

damn rip

[stray spoke]

Isn't there a transferItem method

[wary edge]

Thats only for containers.

[stray spoke]

Ahh alright

[crude ferry]

What 😭

Why would I import react js. I don't even have any imports like that.

Okay this got to be some VS Code auto complete.

Yeah it is.

[clear wadi]

Use a command to id the item. ```// POLL MAIN HAND: Utility
function pollMainhand(entity) {
// FRAME ITEMS TO DETECT in TARGET ENTITY
for (const typeId in EVOLVE_MAP) {
entity.runCommand(tag @s[hasitem={item=${typeId},location=slot.weapon.mainhand}] add phantom:has_required_item);
if (entity.hasTag("phantom:has_required_item")) {
entity.removeTag("phantom:has_required_item");
const item = new ItemStack(typeId, 1);
return item ? item : { typeId: "minecraft:air", getTags: () => [] };
}
}

// check player via API 
// if the item is not caught in MAP Above, return `air` for frame entity (no `equippable` component)
const equipment = entity.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");    
if (!equipment) return { typeId: "minecraft:air", getTags: () => [] };

// continue for player only USING API
let item = equipment.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);
return item ? item : { typeId: "minecraft:air", getTags: () => [] };

}and the EVOLVE_MAP looks like this in my code... const EVOLVE_MAP = {
"minecraft:mob_spawner": 1,
"minecraft:armor_stand": 2,
"minecraft:empty_map": 3
} ``` You can then use pollMainhand for BOTH entities and Players.

so now the item is returned and you can give it to whomever

its not exactly what you need but the concept is workable.

[worldly heath]

i needed to give a weapon to a custom entity and back

ig this is useful getting non tools and stuff

i added a behavior pickup it works as long as i drop the weapon near the custom entityy

[clear wadi]

Understood. Have you looked at EntityComponentTypes ? There is a different way to access equippable for entities than for players. ``` import { EntityComponentTypes, EquipmentSlot } from "@minecraft/server";

// This works flawlessly on both players AND standard mobs (like custom item frames or armor stands)
const equippable = entity.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Equippable);

if (equippable) {
// Directly targets what the entity is visually holding in their main hand!
const heldItem = equippable.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);
}

[crude ferry]

Java Edition has a seperate air block called minecraft:cave_air as its turning out.

Istg I got so happy and then I realised it's Java Exclusive.

I am trying to detect caves.

It seems impossible to do precisely.

Okay locating a lush cave can do something.

[worldly heath]

isnt EntityComponentTypes just Enum that gives the same "minecraft:equippable" ?

[crude ferry]

Trial chamber, Ancient City, and Deep Dark too perhaps.

[worldly heath]

could use dimension.getBiome

[floral copper]

Perhaps

[floral copper]

Whoaaa

Thankuuuu

[floral copper]

Ohhhhh

[clear wadi]

Yeah sort of. But entities do not have "minecraft:equippable" they have "EntityComponentType.equippable" worth a shot unless you have exhausted that already.

[worldly heath]

ah thanks ill check when i can try it

[crude ferry]

Yeah but that can sometimes be hundreds of block away.

Not that bad but I will try to create some algorithm to detect caves before using that solution.

[amber nest]

can u use issolid with air?

[crude ferry]

Yes.

[amber nest]

than u can use that to detect caves

[crude ferry]

Sure but it can choke on small notches that generate quite frequently.

I think I will check for air underground and then take a block volume around it and check how much Air% it is.

[amber nest]

yh thats smart

[clear wadi]

@crude ferry I'm sorry to jump in... cave detection is an interesting issue. If you are writing custom script behaviors, are you looking to track a player's environmental depth (like checking ambient lighting and sky-exposure), or are you trying to hook into custom underground biomes like Dripstone or Lush Caves? I guess what I'm saying is it sounds like you are detecting specific procedural cave gen. No? Can you not just scan for those unique and specific blocks underground? Like dripstone copper bulbs or glow berries? Or is this some kind of teleport situation?

I agree with you though, cave air would be easier if we had it.

[crude ferry]

I am just trying to create a script which can detect a cave without hooking it onto vanilla structures all the time. There are many ways (like the Air% one.) but they have very low accuracy and I am trying to get around it. I am creating something that finds the nearest cave to a player. There's no preference of large or narrow caves. Both are equally important in my use case.

[clear wadi]

@crude ferry I see the issue... That's much trickier than it would appear isn't it? Water, lava, collision, cavities that may register as caves if the systemic checks you have are too small. Are you planning on clearing out blocks in the area that is chosen? Maybe an air structure could work in such a case. Basically get close enough, then drop a mostly air structure in the spot you selected. Structures can be set broken too so it isn't some strange cube shape. But that takes some of the challenge out of the clean discovery, doesn't it.

[crude ferry]

"Are you planning on clearing out blocks in the area that is chosen?" Why would I do that lol? I don't see the point in that one.

[clear wadi]

You said you are moving a player to the nearest cave. It can be any shape. Well... I can grab a cave in a structure. Multiple caves even. Then fake carve my own in real time before moving the player. That's all.

[crude ferry]

Oh.

[clear wadi]

This way the player is never moved say right above water or lava

[crude ferry]

That's genius 😭

[clear wadi]

Thanks!

[crude ferry]

Like it didn't achieve the real task of detecting caves but faking one of my own actually fits what I am trying to do lol.

[clear wadi]

And takes away the chance of accidently getting a player in an unwinnable situation. You are in total control. Later

[crude ferry]

Yeah.

Is there no way to locate structure without commands 😭

[clear wadi]

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

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

/**

• Places a pre-saved structure at a given location.

• @param {string} structureName - The name of your .mcstructure file (e.g., "mystructure" or "mystruct:house")

• @param {number} x - X coordinate

• @param {number} y - Y coordinate

• @param {number} z - Z coordinate
  */
  function placeStructure(structureName, x, y, z) {
  // Wrap inside system.run to safely modify the world context
  system.run(() => {
  const overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");

   // Formulate the Bedrock /structure command string
   const command = `structure load "${structureName}" ${x} ${y} ${z}`;
   
   // Execute the command asynchronously
   overworld.runCommandAsync(command)
       .then((result) => {
           console.warn(`Successfully placed ${structureName} at ${x}, ${y}, ${z}`);
       })
       .catch((error) => {
           console.error(`Failed to place structure: ${error}`);
       });
  

  });
  }

// Example usage: Spawns a saved structure at coordinates 0, 64, 0
placeStructure("mystructure", 0, 64, 0);

Those should point you in a good direction. 👍

[crude ferry]

That wouldn't quite work for vanilla structures.

[wary edge]

That is like, not at all what they asked for.

[stray spoke]

Oh yeah I understood this, it's just I'm talking about typescript working as we enter the world, so we don't have to reinstall packs every time we make changes

[dapper copper]

oh well you dont need to do that

just reload

it works the same way

[stray spoke]

It's not strict as ts tho, but yeah that works

[sharp elbow]

It is possible to both work within TypeScript and to have hot /reload work.

If a behavior pack is located in either the development_behavior_packs folder or in a world file directly, then you can use /reload to quickly access changes.

Packs located in the regular behavior_packs folder (such as when importing a .mcpack or .mcaddon file) will get copied to a world when applied, and that would explain the need to reinstall them

    let pos = {
