I can give world with all hidden blocks if u want
but they r inside chests

also this youtuber called silentwisperer has a tutorial on his channel

[lean prism]

Ok

Thanks

Although that would be useful to me, what we are looking for is a way to obtain them in survival, without losing the achievements.

For the latter, we are using a plugin that does not disable achievements, and that allows you to use commands, and that is precisely why I would like to know if there is a way to use the Id, instead of the name, to obtain them with commands

Hi hi who knows how to

When a player join a function
/function assign tag
Will be randomly assign from 1 of the 10 tag
And after getting assign to that tag you will get a [you are (tag)] message

And after getting that specific tag you will get a specific effect that corresponding the that specific tag
Let's say
I got a tag name runner
It give me speed infinite 1
And weakness infinite 1

And if you die the effect will come back

[naive timber]

/scoreboard objectives add effect dummy effect

/execute as @a as @s unless score @s effect matches 0.. unless score @s effect matches ..0 run scoreboard players random @s effect 1 10

/effect @a[scores={effect=1}] speed infinite 100 true

/effect @a[scores={effect=1}] weakness infinite 100 true

/effect @a[scores={effect=2}] fire_resistance infinite 100 true

/effect @a[scores={effect=2}] night_vision infinite 100 true
.....,etc.

Depending on the effect or group of effects you want to give randomly, it would be defined by the scoreboard score.

thx, i had already solved it but thanks for helping

[jaunty flint]

Is it possible to check who mined a random block using command blocks? (With random tool)

[fallow cliff]

there is no direct way but you can guess
by stacking multiple checks u can increase probability of being right

1. the block being broken
2. the player being nearby
3. the broken block being within view range of the player
4. the tool having taken damage

some checks are straightforward
some require out of the box thinking

but if u have the option to use scripting api, use that instead of commands

[hard dawn]

Which would be slower and more laggy prone?

• a mcfunction running every tick with say, about 200ish tag @a[hasitem] commands
• a script that does the same thing but for the single item changed in their inventory and per player

[rose tusk]

Not sure. That's why we benchmark it!

I would assume the script would be more performant, though, as items changing in the inventory is a relatively infrequent event. And you could add a filter to the subscription, which in theory is more optimal.

I got this error message and I don't know what it means

Here is the command
titleraw @a[hasitem={item=sorcerer_craft:basic_combat, location=slot.weapon.mainhand},scores={sneak=0}] actionbar {"rawtext":[{"text":"§fBasic Punch§7[Punch]\§fHeavy Punch§7[Use] §b"},{"score":{"name":"*","objective":"cursed"}},{"text":"/"},{"score":{"name":"*","objective":"cursedMax"}}]}

[knotty oriole]

Bad escape sequence in string

the "escape sequence" refers to the usage of \ usually in trying to create new lines
if you put \ by itself, it thinks you're trying to either create a new line, or basically tell it that a character usually not allowed in a string is considered part of its contents, such as " or \
-# (doing \\ lets you use \ in your string)

this is the error you made in your rawtext
looks like you were trying to create a new line and forget the n after the \

[polar cliff]

Ah thank you

[unique spindle]

What are the block states for string that has been stepped on?

[quick falcon]

Hey guys how can I track the players scoreboard with the command tellraw and show the numbers in the scoreboard??

[golden hound]

There's an object in tellraw that you can use with * to make it work:

{"score":{"name":"*","objective":"myObjective"}}

The asterisk will reference the score of the player it's being displayed to

[golden hound]

Probably "powered_bit"

[quick falcon]

Commands][warning]-Error on line 1: command failed to parse with error 'Syntax error: Unexpected "@a": at "xecute at >>@a<<[tag=p_cod"'

execute at @a[tag=p_codes,scores={default_one=10}] run scoreboard players set @a default_one 0

how can i fix this

[true laurel]

Check the manifest of the behaviour pack first!
If it's old then you want to use old cmd .
The cmd you are using is new . So you can change the manifest version to latest or use old cmd
@quick falcon

[quick falcon]

someone told me that already and thanks

[dark bison]

What's more performance friendly

1. Running constant commands through tick.json

2. Having entities run the command through an environment_sensor

[naive marten]

The second option

[dark bison]

Damn its making the game lag

[fallow cliff]

I just use main.mcfunction in tick.json

And inside main I conditionally run all other repeating functions only when they are needed

[dark bison]

Could you give me an example as to how I could of that?
Is there a new way or is it still with tags and scoreboards?

Let's say I had a function file, and in this function file, it was the main file for scoreboard timers for abilities.
And then I had it that it would execute as @e at @s positioned ^^^ run function ability_timers . So that means if the entity doesn't have the tag, they shouldn't run the function by default. Am I correct?

[fallow cliff]

tags and scoreboards yes

[fallow cliff]

I suppose

I mainly use score holders as a state system

Example:

main.mcfunction

execute if score map_1 wiki:q.is_active matches 1 run function maps/map_1/on

execute if score map_2 wiki:q.is_active matches 1 run function maps/map_2/on

Tired animation
-# in game built animation

[brittle oyster]

we don't have /attribute yet right? In stable that is

[knotty oriole]

No /attribute

[restive portal]

How do I fix this? The entity (magic circle) runs this command:

execute as @s if entity @e[type=mw:templar_snow,tag=unfriendly] run tp @e[type=!mw:lunar_tug_p1,type=!mw:templar_snow,type=!item,r=12,rm=0.5,family=!spell,tag=!unfriendly] ^0.7 ^0.2 ^0.6 facing @e[type=mw:templar_snow] true

It turns invisible for the pulling part.

Instead of slow pull it just teleports the targets right on the boss

It's 3 am and I can't sleep without getting it right 🥀🥀

[knotty oriole]

Ur using relative coordinates ^^^ which run relative to the execution position

Wherever the command is running, everyone is being teleported ^0.7 ^0.2 ^0.6 of there, not of their own position

[restive portal]

What do, remove ?

[knotty oriole]

U don’t remove, u need to add
Do u understand the issue?

[restive portal]

I don't think I do, but I will get it, and when I do, hoooo boy.

[restive portal]

What do I add :P

[knotty oriole]

Do u understand what the “execution position” refers to?

[restive portal]

Probably, is it the magic circle entity's position?

Do I just use execute at?

[knotty oriole]

No exactly
The execution position refers to where the command is running

[restive portal]

Yes

[knotty oriole]

Ure teleporting each entity by relative coordinates ^^^, but the command isnt running at everyone’s own position — it’s running at the circle, I think? Hard to tell from that command, there is some missing context

U need to get the position of each target respectively, otherwise ure just teleporting everyone relative to the entity ure currently executing at

[restive portal]

Yes, custom circle runs the command via the "execute as @s"

[knotty oriole]

Is this a function?

[restive portal]

So I instead execute as @e[everyone else but the boss and circle]?

[restive portal]

Inside entity json

[knotty oriole]

Gotcha

[knotty oriole]

U need their position; as doesn’t get their position

There is technically multiple ways u can do this

[restive portal]

Okie

[knotty oriole]

It depends on how well u mark when an entity is doing this pulling in attack

[restive portal]

Technically, I don't mind whoever gets pulled, it only depends if the entity has the tags friendly/unfriendly

[knotty oriole]

If it has a tag or something, u can just execute as and at everyone, and then teleport them towards the nearest entity doing the pulling in attack — however u dictate that

[restive portal]

I use facing for the nearest boss and yeah?

[knotty oriole]

If there isn’t any clear indicators of when ur entity is doing an attack, then instead, ull need to continue to execute as the entity performing the attack which u can reference with @s, but then u need to execute at everyone else, which u can then reference with @n

[knotty oriole]

Yeah in that example

[restive portal]

Wuh

I'll just doohickey

Thanks and bye

[knotty oriole]

Makes sense

[restive portal]

Nevermind is it this one?

/execute as @e[type=!mw:templar_snow] at @s run tp @s ^^0.1^0.6 facing @e[type=mw:templar_snow] true

[knotty oriole]

This is just teleporting the Templar snow ^^0.1^0.6 of itself

[restive portal]

Wuh

But it has the "!"

Meaning anything else but her would be teleported

No errors pop up, but it doesn't work either

I think I got it mixed up. Maybe I should just make any entity near 12 radius run the command.

Execute as @e[r=12,type=!mw:templar_snow,family=!spell,tag=!unfriendly] at @s run tp @s ^0.7^0.1^0.6 facing @e[type=mw:templar_snow] true

It works now

[knotty oriole]

Ah yeah ure right i didnt see that — but then yeah, its anyone but the templars

[rose tusk]

What did you end up going with? Based on the initial question I would have tried this:

execute if entity @e[type=mw:templar_snow,tag=unfriendly] as @e[type=!mw:lunar_tug_p1,type=!mw:templar_snow,type=!item,r=12,rm=0.5,family=!spell,tag=!unfriendly] at @s facing entity @e[type=mw:templar_snow,c=1] feet run teleport @s ^0.7 ^0.2 ^0.6 true

[knotty oriole]

This is the same issue as his original command; u aren’t getting the position of the people ure teleporting, so they don’t pull, they just instantly teleport

U should combine the facing into the teleport portion also, and u can use @n instead of c=1, but those are both kinda minor

[rose tusk]

Ah, forgot an at @s

[restive portal]

Made it really simple

Execute as @e[r=12,type=!mw:templar_snow,family=!spell,tag=!unfriendly] at @s run tp @s ^0.7^0.1^0.6 facing @e[type=mw:templar_snow] true

[knotty oriole]

Yeah that’s just fine

[restive portal]

Anything else that doesn't have the tags get teleported

[rose tusk]

@n, sure. But I wouldn't remove the /execute facing argument because that changes the behavior; /teleport ... facing applies rotation after, /execute facing applies rotation before

[restive portal]

Though it may flunk some projectiles like enderpearls if you try throwing it while the teleportation activates

[knotty oriole]

I understand that’s fair, though I’m not so sure it matters in this scenario

[restive portal]

I'd say goodnight to ya'll but it is literally 4:35 am and I don't think I'm getting any sleep

[knotty oriole]

I guess the first tick will be a little different if u apply after

[restive portal]

Sooo. Goodmorning ya'll.

[knotty oriole]

Yeah alright that’s fair

[rose tusk]

With how small the distance is here, likely not.

[restive portal]

12 radius, it works well now that I got it right

[rose tusk]

I mean the distance in which you teleport the mob, which is about 0.92 blocks. If you had a much larger offset, like 10 blocks, then it could noticeably alter where the mob ends up relative to its intended path, and it would be based on its initial rotation on that first tick

[restive portal]

Is there a command to detect if an entity has effects?

I remember there being one but for some reason I can't find it

[fallow cliff]

nope
but u can use scoreboard based effects instead of direct /effect command

But if u can use scripts, that would prob be better

[fallow cliff]

Example:

/effect @e[scores={effect.slowness=1..}] slowness infinite 0 true
/scoreboard players remove @e[scores={effect.slowness=1..}] slowness 1

/execute as @e unless entity @s[scores={effect.slowness=1..}] run say I don't have slowness :D

/execute as @e[scores={effect.slowness=1..}] run say I have slowness :(

[hard dawn]

You can use a pack with player json to give them tags whenever they have an effect

Would we ever get [hasitem={tag=}]? Seems like a stretch and I could really use it for performance

[knotty oriole]

Why for performance

[hard dawn]

Currently using a million hasitem commands to determine players are netherite or diamond or iron etc. Hasitemtag would let me use minecraft:netherite_tier, as there is already that entity filter in JSON, has_equipment_tag, but it doesn't work for normal inventory slots. Only equipment slots

[knotty oriole]

yeah we will never get that in commands

[hard dawn]

I'm wondering if i could do a combination of them to reduce the commands I run

[knotty oriole]

commands are basically abandoned, so u shouldnt expect things like that to come any time, id be surprised if they did

[hard dawn]

Use commands to use json for the equipment slots and if match abandon the rest of the inventory scan

[knotty oriole]

if ure already using add ons, then just use scripts

[hard dawn]

Since most of the time people will be wearing the armor

[knotty oriole]

there is rarely any reason to use commands if ure using add ons

[hard dawn]

Scripts are approx 50x slower

for this use case

[knotty oriole]

but they have more optimisation potential

it makes more sense in this sorta context

[hard dawn]

Oh trust me they don't here 🥀🥲

Using @a selectors in commands seems to be magnitude faster than running an @s function for every player

[knotty oriole]

functions are always faster, u should use them if u can

[hard dawn]

Well, not seems, I tested it. There's maybe a 5x difference, and it only grows the more players you got

Yeah I'm using mcfunctions

[knotty oriole]

im not that good w scripts, but im pretty sure they have inventory update events now

[hard dawn]

They don't work for equipment slots, unfortunately

I've thought of that too, it would be so much faster in that case

Cause I'm running my Mcfunction every tick

[fallow cliff]

@hard dawn u can use an execute or gate to test within same command

see:
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/logic-gates

• /execute unless entity @p[hasitem=[{item=diamond_sword,quantity=0},{item=iron_sword,quantity=0}]] run <command>
  • Run the command if the player has either a diamond sword or an iron sword.

I would write one command ask an Ai to generate the rest for me based on the given command

If you use such checks often in ur systems, u can use the check to give them a tag

So for future checks just check for that tag to reduce command length and slightly improve performance

[hard dawn]

would this even be faster? execute is extremely slow

[restive portal]

Is it?

[knotty oriole]

It’s not “extremely” slow, but it does introduce a little overhead in comparison

Extremely slow is rly exaggeratory though

[hard dawn]

I would have to object

[knotty oriole]

No I mean objective it isn’t that slower

It’s a matter of like 0.000002s or smt

[hard dawn]

Well, when I was optimizing my MC functions I found that:
tag @a [x=500,dx=100000,y=-150,dy=1000,z=-500,dz=1000] add pvp ran at about 50ms delay when running it N times, and execute as @a at @s run tag @s [x=500,dx=100000] add pvp ran with 300ms delay ran about N times

execute if block is even slower 💀

[knotty oriole]

Definitely not 300ms delay that’s crazy

That’s like 6 ticks

I used a benchmarking tool; execute by itself only introduces about 2,000ns of overhead, and then obv there is a little extra depending on what execute subcommand u use, but it isn’t anything to be concerned about at that scale

Ud need about a hundred thousand of them to even be noticeable in that tick

[knotty oriole]

That’s scripts

Ure calling scripts

[hard dawn]

Well since they're both running from scripts we can safely assume both recieve the same negative effects of scripts being slow

So we can still measure the difference between the commands

[knotty oriole]

U shouldn’t be running commands from scripts anyway generally speaking

[hard dawn]

Of course not lol

[knotty oriole]

In terms of raw commands, it’s nth to be worried ab, again it’s only 2,000ns overhead, but it also depends on what ure doing as to how much sense that actually makes

[hard dawn]

Also used it to find that the effect clear command is faster than iterating the effects and doing clearEffect() 😭🥀

[hard dawn]

why did they remove it it worked fine before 🥀

[fallow cliff]

security or smtn

[hard dawn]

apparently scoreboard players set @a [tag=netherite,scores={armor=!5}] armor 5 is faster than scoreboard players set @a [tag=netherite] armor 5 🥀

[fallow cliff]

yes

[polar cliff]

So quick question I'm trying to add pictures to actionbars and when I look at other addon creators functions to see how they did all I see is this 

[fallow cliff]

You need a texture pack
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/text/custom-emojis

Its easy

[hard dawn]

^^

I wouldn't say it's that easy

The learning curve is a matter of if you could be bothered to open a pixel art program and put the emojis in the correct items

Grid spots

[teal seal]

execute as @e[tag=sapient] at @s if block ~ ~ ~ wooden_door
How could i make this command look for multiple wooden doors around the entity?

[fallow cliff]

just at its feet or in a radius from the entity?

[teal seal]

in a radius

[fallow cliff]

then use this:

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/execute-at-block

[teal seal]

its because i have a specifc system here, that if the entity has a door on the same coordinate as it, the door will open
homever i wanted to see how i could make it work if the entity was like 2 blocks away from the door

but ill try to use the execute at block variant

alr it worked, thanks

[dark bison]

Im tryna chnage the offset of my command to 2 blocks to the left
But it just starts at the players feet

Im sure there's something im doing wrong?
But cant see it

function ronin/ability/ryoku/use/kansen
Already has an offset of ^^1.2^0.5

[knotty oriole]

this command is executing from the players feet, and 1.5 blocks to the right of their view direction; its working as intended

[dark bison]

Thats the thing, its supposed to, but it doesn't execute at ^^1.5^

[polar cliff]

For some reason when I tried to do /xp -127 it didn't work how am I meant to remove xp?

[rose tusk]

You must subtract entire levels. @polar cliff

[polar cliff]

Thanks

[hollow atlas]

How do I make a command that says the health and owner of a specific entitiy?

[fallow cliff]

You can use an ID system with this:
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/comparing-scores#get-matching-scores

But there is no easy way to detect and display entity health with commands alone. You'll need to create a post and give more context about your project

So we can better understand areas where it would be fine to make compromises

I see your bio says you make mods so I suppose it would be better for you to look into add-on based solution.

[tight ridge]

Guys can someone help me

Tag players who have the blade
tag @a[hasitem={item=gw_weapon:azure_blade}] add convert_me

For each tagged player, clear blades and give ONE new blade
execute as @a[tag=convert_me] run clear @s gw_weapon:azure_blade 0 64
execute as @a[tag=convert_me] run give @s gw_weapon:azure_blade 1 0 {"minecraft:keep_on_death":{}}

Remove tag and clean up
tag @a remove convert_me
kill @e[type=item,name="Azure Blade"]

I was trying to bind the sword like soul binding for the player who use it

But I'm getting this

[hard dawn]

I'm confused

[mental apex]

how do you play the first person attack animation with playanimation command

I have tried it multiple times it just does nothing

/playanimation @s animation.player.first_person.attack_rotation_item animation.player.first_person.attack_rotation_item 900

am I doing something wrong

[silent apex]

did you try using the animation controller thingy, that let's you change the value of the variables in an animation in game?

-# it's still in the playanimation command it goes like
playanimation @s animation.first_person.attack_rotation_item x 900 "v.attack_time=1;"
idk if it'll work but you can fiddle with it and try it out

frame by frame animation
-# with command blocks

[hard dawn]

I'm so confused why your command block UI looks like java but you're using touch screen and you're on phone

[dark bison]

Loving this animation, how did you get it to dash forward

Tp?

[silent apex]

yup :›

[silent apex]

-# texture packs

[dark bison]

Cleanest use of tp ive ever seen

[knotty oriole]

is each frame hardcoded?

it looks like it

u should consider looking into how to do math based animations with molang so u dont have to define each frame, just the key frames and motion patterns

[silent apex]

i did but there's no literal solution to making a pose go to another pose with ease, since life_time can be buggy even with the eases available in math aren't really that useful, they're mostly useful on looped animations using sine or just query life_time

[silent apex]

sort of?
they're variables with changed values, that's why i was able to pose them in game, then make a frame by frame animation of it

[knotty oriole]

u should use a custom variable for handling time instead of q.life_time to get around that

u arent rly limited at all with the kind of math based animations u can make

the way u write animations in molang with commands is essentially the same as how theyre written externally, like in the animation json files

they also work by using molang on the bones

u can technically speaking get the same results as for example animations made in blockbench
actions and stuff for example uses procedural animations with molang

if u make an animation in blockbench, it just eases the two frames together, and u can make a rly similar affect with molang expressions; u should give it a try

[silent apex]

something like that is sort of not possible with command blocks well abit is possible it's just there would be alot of typing required to achieve something like that, I've already tried that but the closest i got was to animate in loop
#1460255095630336167 message

[knotty oriole]

here is an example of the kind of system i mean
these are all separate keyframes handled in one animation command (per unique entity)

its kinda rough and incomplete, but u get the idea

[silent apex]

holy gwakamoly that was insanely incredibly smooth and awesome
-# teach me how to animate from A to B

[knotty oriole]

this system works by just defining the keyframes, and then lerping between them

first, create a custom variable to handle the runtime:
v.time = (v.time ?? 0) + 1
this would work, but keep in mind molang runs per frame, which varies per player, so the above command would desync for players with different framerates; after one second, a player with 30fps would have a time value of 30, while another with 60fps would have a value of 60
the solution is to integrate delta time
v.time = (v.time ?? 0) + q.delta_time

[silent apex]

I see.. but the way you we're able to make it decide when to stop and run is the hardest part I've been trying to figure out

[knotty oriole]

now u have a timer, we can try making a simple lerp
define the start and end values, for example:

v.start_ypos = 0;
v.end_ypos = 16;```

we will need a smoothing variable; i like to use `hermite_blend` here cus its rly smooth:

```js
v.time = (v.time ?? 0) + q.delta_time;
v.smooth_time = math.hermite_blend(v.time);

v.start_ypos = 0;
v.end_ypos = 16;

the hermite blend will return a value between 0-1, where 0 is our start keyframe, and 1 is the end keyframe; it is the progression between frames as a float
we will next pass this value into an interpolation function to actually interpolate between our frames:

v.time = (v.time ?? 0) + q.delta_time;
v.smooth_time = math.hermite_blend(v.time);

v.start_ypos = 0;
v.end_ypos = 16;

v.ypos = math.lerp(v.start_pos, v.end_pos, v.smooth_time);

this is a linear lerp, but other lerps can be used, like squared, for example
custom lerp funcs can also be used

[silent apex]

I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE
-# you are amazing man, dis is some wizard knowledge

[knotty oriole]

here is a full example of this system in use that my friend made

he uses the segment variable to define each keyframe with equal distance apart:

// v.t = v.t??0.01;
v.t = q.anim_time;

// 0-1s -> segment 0
// 1-2s -> segment 1
// 2s+ -> segment 2
v.segment = math.min(math.floor(v.t), 2);
v.local_t = v.t - v.segment;
v.smooth_t = math.hermite_blend(v.local_t);

v.segment == 0 ? {
    v.start_x = 0;
    v.start_y = 0;
    v.start_z = 0;
    v.end_x = 10;
    v.end_y = 5;
    v.end_z = 0;
    v.start_xrot = 0;
    v.start_yrot = 0;
    v.start_zrot = 0;
    v.end_xrot = 90;
    v.end_yrot = 45;
    v.end_zrot = 0;
};

v.segment == 1 ? {
    v.start_x = 10;

is an example of an if statement in molang syntax; if v.segment is equal to 1, then run the code within; its rly syntactically similar to JavaScript if u have any experience

[silent apex]

I will try dis out and see what i can achieve with this reference, I hope I don't make alot of mistakes

[knotty oriole]

depending on ur application depends on what method u should use

in this case, my friend is using equidistant keyframes, so this system works well
u can substitute the v.segment value for if statements using v.time to say at what points in the animation should u run what, which is more suitable for keyframes of varying length; u will have to get a little creative with how u procedurally calculate the local_time though

in my video, i use a slightly different system that works for my application
my system has two handlers; a client sided one, and a server sided one
the client sided handler controls all the animation visuals, and looks pretty similar to the above one, but it uses v.animation_state to control what to run when
v.animation_state is based on an adjacent scoreboard value held on the entity, which is determined by my server sided manager which just uses commands to modify the animation state based on environmental factors; this also is what lets me play sounds and do affects alongside my animation

that was a lot of info to take in, sorry for the big wall of text, there just isnt much easier way to explain it all, lmao

i wish u luck

feel free to ping if u have any questions

[silent apex]

I don't mind, it's better to explain it alot then only a little few of it

dis should literally be in bedrock wiki

[knotty oriole]

it would be a good system to document, i agree

another thing i should also mention is a small performance consideration

in the example i provided above, it uses a bunch of consecutive if statements, though, most of the time, u will only ever have one of them running at a time

if that is the case, u should use if-else statements instead just so it stops parsing once it finds ur animation and doesnt waste resources continuing to check the rest of the conditions when u already have found the one u want to run

[silent apex]

I gaved up TvT it made the hand turn into a propeller instead...

but here's another frame by frame or you could call cmd by cmd block animation

[silent apex]

i was trying to make the hand go from 0 to -90 and that's when it happened

-# maybe it only works for certain thing

[knotty oriole]

u likely made a mistake somewhere
the hermite blend does loop, so the animation may have some funky behaviour if the hermite blend value exceeds 1, which is one thing my friend's system counteracts

[restive portal]

Literal magic over here

[fallow cliff]

are these using vanilla animations or custom ones with variables you can easily modify in-game?

[knotty oriole]

Molang looks really daunting, but it’s mostly just math based expressions that make numbers do numbery stuff

But I mean yeah math is basically magic so

[restive portal]

Math IS magic...

[silent apex]

bingo

-# steve what do you think?

[fallow cliff]

that's very good
I also try to do that for my animation requirements

[silent apex]

elematronic ahh animation

and it flickers in first person a lot (cause it is playing and stopping) any idea how to stop that? or make it not play in first person

this isn't specifically command related (could be) but you guys are the most knowledgeable about these kinda of animations

in context this is used to disable riding animation

[fallow cliff]

is this inside player.animation.json?

Make sure you place it at the end, after all other animations

if u r using commands to play the animation:

/playanimation @a animation.xxxxx.standing none 0 "0" xxxxx:standing

[next nebula]

it is not, i can't edit vanilla files

[fallow cliff]

I'm guessing this is for marketplace

I dunno how to add custom player animations without conflicts with vanilla ones

That's the only way I know

Maybe you can ask Jean or Felix
They might know a different method

[next nebula]

yeah

i reduced the interval and the flickering is good enough
thanks tho

[neat lily]

hey folks, can the /testforblocks check for signed books in a barrel??

[knotty oriole]

Testforblocks — or better yet: if blocks — is a direct 1:1 check; it checks for an exact replica

All data must be the same to be a match

[neat lily]

many thanks, it seems to be on the tempremental side! using a normal item it works everytime, but if i use a book, thats identical it sometimes matches and sometimes doesnt and i have to empty both barrels and repopulate them again 😕

[knotty oriole]

perhaps the book isnt totally identical
consider that maybe the book is signed with a slightly different name (case sensitivity matters!), or by a different author, or with slightly different contents -- etc.
if any factor or data of the book is different, then it wont be considered a perfect match and it wont pass

[neat lily]

My book simply has "1" on the first page. It fails to match if I move the book around the slots in the barrel, which is correct behaviour, but if I put I back to slot 1, it still fails, almost like it remembers it was in other slots in the past. It's odd, but I'll persevere

Like I say it starts off working fine, but somewhere along the line it just fails to match and I have to "reset" each barrel. I am doing a setBlock to replace the target barrel once it matches

[restive portal]

How can I use scoreboard command to make a random number generator?

I would rather this than keep triggering randomizers within the entity itself, but I may have to do that instead of commands...

[rose tusk]

Use the command /scoreboard players random <player: target> <objective: string> <min: int> <max: int> @restive portal

[restive portal]

Thanks, I'll try this out

[robust marlin]

anyone know why this animation isn't playing? /playanimation @e[type=axolotl] animation.axolotl.play_dead

[heavy holly]

this is possibly unrelated to commands, but i have a fully built world for skyblock, but theres still the flatworld beneath, but i want to get rid of it, ive used scripts to delete it but its a mess, is there a way to transfer it to another world or something?

[thick rampart]

There's a void world generation. If your world are fully addon-related, you could just do that. If you had builds on the map and can't simply switch, you probably want to open an NBT Editor and edit the world's generation manually.

[heavy holly]

any nbt editors you can recommend? i have builds on the map so i cant really switch

[restive portal]

Is there anyway to prevent spreadplayers from spreading my entity into the deep canals of caves?

Like, if it's above the surface and the distance of the spread is more than 14 blocks wide and tall, it would just.. sink underground

[naive marten]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Commands/spreadplayers#:~:text=position. If with-,maxHeight%3A value,-argument%2C targets are

[restive portal]

I checked, bedrock doesn't have any way to specifically make it so it targets only surface level areas, or current relative height

Unless if my brain doesn't work rn

[naive marten]

Oh, I misread your message, there's some workarounds

[restive portal]

Please enlighten me

[naive marten]

It depends on the behavior of your entity, what are you using /spreadplayers for?

[restive portal]

It's supposed to be an evasion. She'd get a random chance to evade normally (1-3 blocks) or full-on disappear and appear further away (10-14 blocks) the problem is, it already far enough, but she also teleports underground if the space below permits it, thus ruining the flow of the fight

[naive marten]

Spreadplayers just overcomplicates it then, you can use the player as a reference point and teleport the entity 10-14 blocks in front of the player or whatever direction (using caret notation)

[restive portal]

But terrains 😭

[naive marten]

You can set multiple directions

Since it's random, it's not a guarantee anyways

If a player is fighting this entity and there's a mountain behind the player, the entity won't teleport naturally (because of the checkforblocks Boolean)

But if you've set multiple directions for it to teleport, in one of them it'll be successful, otherwise, it'll just look like the player got lucky

[naive marten]

It would be a decent amount of commands but it's not really a problem as this triggers randomly + I really doubt you care about performance that much considering you're using commands for this kind of behavior

[naive marten]

Or it's a single direction and it just continuously spams it for a period of time until eventually there's space

[restive portal]

I meant entity getting stuck in terrain if fought in uneven things

[restive portal]

Nah, it's just up to 14 spaces anyway

Maybe 8 blocks away, then if none, 14 blocks away

[naive marten]

That's uh, an issue with spreadplayers too

[restive portal]

Well yeah

[quick falcon]

Hey guys,do i can use both tags to share one command like this?

replaceitem entity @s[tag=test1] [tag=test2] slot.armor.head 1 armor:tester

[foggy swan]

nope, i believe doing this might work, though.

replaceitem entity @s[tag=test1,tag=test2] slot.armor.head 1 armor:tester

[knotty oriole]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/logic-gates

Can’t tell if ure asking for an AND or an OR gate; either way, both should be there

[restive portal]

What's the selector for a player's gamemode? I don't want creative players targetted by effects from this one entity I have 🙏

[knotty oriole]

m

[restive portal]

Yeah I just found it, thanks

[restive portal]

Any idea how I can make an entity face the nearest enemy/tagged entity with tp?

I tried this but it didn't work:
/execute as @e[type=vex] at @s run tp @s ^^^ facing @e[type=!vex]

The idea was to keep them in place but their heads would keep facing the nearest entity

[restive portal]

/execute as @e[type=vex] at @s anchored eyes run tp @s ^^-0.63^0.36 facing @e[c=1,type=!vex,r=200,type=!player,type=!item]

The command above kinda works but the entity I made for it doesn't cuz the animation isn't related to look at target, so I added that variable so hopefully it works now
