Entities General

[little cloud]

I've not finished my documentation on this topic or I'd link it but you can export the scene as a 3d model, load it into blockbench, then animate the entity

to export it, use a structure block

if the path is hard-coded, it should be easy

[sterile flint]

The "scene" you mean the entire construction? (well, the part that I need for that at least)

[little cloud]

yeah

try keeping it small, I exported a 200x200x200 scene and it was 400mb once I converted it

wouldve ran blender but not blockbench

[sterile flint]

Hmm let me see if I got it:

1. Use a structure block to select the area of the animation (blocks and entities included)
2. Import that into blockbench (somehow)
3. Create the animation with the entity flying towards the destination
4. Should I remove the blocks in blockbench? Or should I leave everything there?
5. Save it as a entity animation
6. Play the animation in-game... but not sure how to load it in the right coordinates

Something like that?

To be honest, I don't know if I'm going to make this work. It sounds that's beyond my knowledge (and I don't have the time right now to test it too much sadly 😦 )

[little cloud]

pretty much, yeah

[little cloud]

fair enough, I'll send you the link once I'm finished documenting this if you would like

could be a while though, I have other priorities

[sterile flint]

Absolutely! I want to try it as soon as I have the time

So, besides this option, is there any other way I can make it work at least a little bit better?

[clever fern]

What part of the render controller should I add so that the player does not appear?

I tried with "part_visibility": [
"root": false
],.
But it didn't work

[little cloud]

disable the other render controllers that are rendering the player

[wanton dune]

It's * not root

the way part visibility works is it disables the cubes with that name

Not the bone itself

[little cloud]

part visibility doesn't hide children of the bone

[clever fern]

Oh

[wanton dune]

So if you hide the body it doesn't affect its children which are right arm, left arm

You need to add them to part visibility individually

[little cloud]

you can use * at the stand and ends of the string too though
body* : body_1, body_2
*body : a_body b_body

[clever fern]

Ok thanks I'll try it.

[clever fern]

The player model is not in the render controller, so no matter how much I try to remove visibility from the parts, it won't work.

[ruby cape]

What is the appropriate locator id for the fox's equip behavior? i tried 'held_item' based on the geo of the fox but that didnt work.

          "minecraft:equip_item": {},  
          "minecraft:behavior.equip_item": {
            "priority": 2
          }

[wanton dune]

Afaik, if you want a custom entity to hold an item you make a folder in it's geo with named rightArm or leftArm

[ruby cape]

understood, would rightArm be considered as its 'mainhand'?

[wanton dune]

Uhuh, just try /replaceitem and you'll see if it really works

[ruby cape]

okay thanks

[clever fern]

Guys

I have an error in my player.json

I made a custom totem add on using player.json but I have an error

[wanton dune]

Send the error and file.

[clever fern]

The error is that minecraft:damage_sensor cannot detect effects, so if I have resistance 255 but for example a warden attacks me, the totem is still activated

When in reality thanks to the resistance effect it should not activate the totem

is there a way to fix this?

[wanton dune]

I thought a filter existed.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/filters/has_mob_effect?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[clever fern]

I don't think that works, there are quite a few levels of resistance and depending on the level you survive or not.

[wanton dune]

Just detect it with scripts then add player a tag so if player have that tag or whatever

[clever fern]

Is it possible to put more than one query in an animation controller transition?

[formal veldt]

yes, use the AND logical operator. (&&)

[clever fern]

I tried to make controller animations for this model using property, but there are some errors

[wanton dune]

Can you make an entity drop its inventory without killing it and the entity is in the same position?

[clever fern]

It is possible to make an entity like axolotls or fish, meaning that you can catch them with the bucket ?

[gloomy crag]

Is it possible to modify the player's collision when crouching? Because it seems that when I crouch my collision box returns to its default size

[gloomy crag]

You will need to create a bucket item with the entity and use scripts or add the "on_interact" component and replace the bucket with the custom bucket when the player interacts

[gloomy crag]

Json only?

[wanton dune]

Yeah... I know script way just curious if there's is in json only

[gloomy crag]

Letme try smt

[clever fern]

Guys its possible to put "minecraft:knockback_roar" in a component_group of player.json?

[gloomy crag]

@wanton dune

[wanton dune]

Nice thanks a lot

[gloomy crag]

np

[formal veldt]

you can put any component in component groups.

[storm spire]

How do I set the offset of the projectile my entity is shooting is it in the projectile itself or in the entity shooting it?

[wanton venture]

I have an animation playing based on minecraft:variant in a component group. However, removig this component group does not stop the animation from playing. Is this an error?

[wanton dune]

Removing the component if you use a variant won't work iirc, someone correct me if I'm wrong tho, you need to set the new value of the variant.

[wanton venture]

Yeah that's what I'm doing

wanted to know if this is an expected behavior or is an error

the same happens with any other component like skin id, mark variant, is_chested, is_sheared, etc

[wanton dune]

the skin id, mark variant makes sense but is chested and is sheared? That shouldn't happen, because you can remove those 2 component using events

It's probably a bug on those two... What format version do you use and what mc version are you.

[wanton venture]

Latest mc version, format version 1.21.30

I will try again those two

oh, is chested is being removed but there seems to be a delay

hm

Is removed with 0.5s delay aprox

welp just reducing the timer to 0.5 fixes my problem

Another reason why components like q.is_sheared are superior than the others for anims

[wanton dune]

See told you it is removed, addon creators should have not used the q.is_sheared when changing something in addons before if it can't be placed and remove in entities components lol

[wanton venture]

Yeah

I think I might have set the condition yesterday to mark_variant && q.is_chested on accident

Things that happens when coding late at night

[gloomy crag]

Is there a way to anchor the item to the hand of my custom model? I added rightItem to the model but that doesn't seem to work, I would appreciate it if you could help me

[rigid kiln]

how can you attach or couple the train to the wagons?

how can i get the vehicles?

[clever fern]

If there is a way but I don't know exactly how to do it

[storm spire]

Is it possible for a projectile to curve like a boomerang when shot I saw this angle offset parameter but I don't think it can achieve my goal

[undone axle]

Is this correct?

[gloomy crag]

Wich addon?

[clever fern]

It's one that the other Angel made

[clever fern]

It is not public.

[gloomy crag]

Ah

[storm spire]

What does this do?

[undone axle]

I’m trying to get boats to be able to climb up blocks like horses do

key word
“Trying”

[wanton dune]

You can't do anything about that I think? Since boats have hardcoded behavior especially the controls

And boats have a "system" that they only work on waters I mean they are faster in water compared to land

[undone axle]

The boat has a modifiable entity file I was tryna mess with

[wanton dune]

Yes but doesn't mean you can really do anything

[undone axle]

I made a version with commands but as you can see it’s incredibly janky

[wanton dune]

You used /tp?

[undone axle]

There’s not really any other fluid way

[wanton dune]

Let's see I'mma do it with scripts cause scripts is quite flexible.

[undone axle]

me and a friend have tried scripts

[wanton dune]

Are you sure about that?

[undone axle]

But it always leads to the boat desyncing from the player

[wanton dune]

What way you used?

Ohh the applyImpulse()?

[undone axle]

applying vertical knockback, directly changing the boat pos and a few others I can’t remember atm

[wanton dune]

We can use tp in scripts but also retaining it's velocity

[undone axle]

Tbh the issue is the speed

ice boats travel so fast that they’re capable of moving more than 1 block in a tick

[wanton dune]

So velocity

[undone axle]

so the 20 tick system that the game runs on is too slow to keep up

even if you were to get the boat to be able to climb, there would a lot of scenarios where you would just crash

you could try a 45 degree raycast but that seems like it would be a lot to handle

[wanton dune]

1. If a lot of people are playing
2. If you have a slow device
3. If you have a slow server

[wanton dune]

How are detecting the boat will climb up? Can you send me the scripts, I wanna see what you guys did.

[undone axle]

It was ages ago. I no longer have the files I’m afraid

[undone axle]

I feel like I’ll just have to stick with the command version, but appreciate the help

Tbh it might be easier to create a separate entity that acts like the boat

Or I just stick to flat tracks

[wanton dune]

Create a new one I guess, you could try

[wanton dune]

Boring.

[undone axle]

I don’t think I’ll be able to recreate the feel of the original boat

low friction racing is fun

might just be worth trying to figure out how to apply KB again

[harsh fern]

can someone explain how events and component groups work in simple terms, i looked at the wiki and i thought i understood but ig not since my events arent working properly

[fast kraken]

Is there a way to stop my entity from wandering into the void when it has the minecraft:behavior.float_wander component?

[wanton venture]

With scripting yes

[wanton venture]

Component groups are like sections in which you can store specific behaviors. For example, the entity's server-to-client behavior to change it's texture. Events are something you call to do something, such as running a command or adding a component group.

Component groups are like block states & events like commands you call to do something

[frank carbon]

Component groups store ... groups of components. When applied, the components in that group are applied to the entity; any older values for each component are overwritten. Removing a component group removes each of the components.

[harsh fern]

ok.. then my entity events should work unless i did something wrong with them

[wanton venture]

Learned today not all of them get removed lol

[harsh fern]

im gonna try to debug but the debugger never said anything was wrong

[frank carbon]

Numbered components have undefined behavior when they are removed. My guess is there isn't a default value they assume.

So if you had a "minecraft:variant" component with a value of 3, then you removed the variant component, the variant does not take on a value—so no equality comparisons work

That's my guess anyway

[wanton venture]

I thought that, but defining them in the components should set it to the one in components

That's how my head thinks it should work, we are assigning it a default value and overwriting it with a component group

Not sure if that is an intended behavior or an error

[harsh fern]

im stumped, its like the events arent even adding anything

and if they are its not working how i intended
(their behavior is not changing at all)

[wanton dune]

Send the entity file so it's faster to know the error

[harsh fern]

can i dm it.?

[wanton dune]

You could

[clever fern]

I have this error and I don't know how to fix it, I even tried changing to another entity.json

[wanton dune]

Is the model valid?

[clever fern]

In Minecraft the log tells me that the trix:casino model was not found, however in my entity.json
I don't have geometry.trix: casino defined, if not geometry.io

[wanton dune]

And if your models go to path models -> entity -> model.json

[clever fern]

yes, there it is

This happened to me after I tried to replace the model

[wanton dune]

Then check if your model json is valid

[clever fern]

The only thing that changes this model with the previous one is that this one is in another position.

[fast kraken]

Does anyone know why when I use minecraft:behavior.float_wander my entity never stops going upwards?

[fast kraken]

Anyone?

[storm spire]

Where is the entities anchor I have this projectile that I want to set it's offset bu I don't know where to base it cause I don't know the entities anchor

[storm spire]

And plss this rotates relative to the entities rotation

[tall shard]

Does anyone know what render controller dragon uses when it moves to the center one last time upon death?

[tall shard]

Ah, it was the default one. I set the query.death_ticks wrong by mistake so it was invisible for a bit.

[ruby cape]

how far does a entity need to be for it to be out of render distance?

[wanton venture]

How can I make an entity able to hold items?

[wanton dune]

equip_item
equipment

[wanton venture]

I know those

So

My guy here has a pickaxe on it's hand

[wanton dune]

You need to add a folder named rightItem in your model

[wanton venture]

There is

[wanton dune]

That's odd, why there're a lot of problems relating to the positioning of the item rn 🤔

[wanton venture]

Been trying for a good while now

not even using a vanilla model works

[wanton dune]

Not even player's model?

[wanton venture]

nope

Is there an animation needed to show it?

[wanton dune]

No, there shouldn't be... As long as that folder exists it will show the item no matter what

[wanton venture]

I'm using vanilla holding but it does huh nothing

[wanton dune]

Did you try the fox geom?

It has the held_item... I forgot if it's locator or folder

[wanton dune]

Hahaha, sorry I mean open the geom file of fox and you'll see something named held_item

Then try adding the same to your original model

-# tbh I'm just guessing here cause this shouldn't have any problems

[wanton venture]

Doesn't work neither

[wanton venture]

Me when https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-holds-item.html#model doesn't works

[nova plume]

it is working fine for me

[formal veldt]

same

[wanton venture]

What am I doing wrong?

[storm spire]

What's the problem?

[storm spire]

It cannot equip 3d items or all items

[wanton venture]

My ientity is not rendering the item

Is just an iron pickaxe

[storm spire]

Are you sure your entity behavior file is working it has the right components

[wanton venture]

Pretty much yeah

Is there anything specific it needs?

[storm spire]

Can I check your behavior file

[storm spire]

It might be from the render controller or animation or the behavior file those are the sources of problem I might know

[wanton venture]

let me format the files so you don't judge me

[storm spire]

I can't really find the problem but did you try using vindicator

[storm spire]

It equips an axe

[wanton venture]

Vindicator behavior?

[storm spire]

yes

[wanton venture]

I mean the entity is equipping the item

Is just invisible for some reason

[wanton venture]

The model is this

[storm spire]

Oh hmm then you probably messed up in the model part did you position the right item where you want it?

[wanton venture]

And is not an animations problem because I even deleted the animations file

[wanton venture]

100%

And the only mentioned common problem, which is the one I'm having, the reason is not applicable for me

Because as you can see I'm only using a single geometry

[storm spire]

I haven't encountered this types of problems cause setting an entity equip an item should be easy

[wanton venture]

I swear to god..

I'm gonna be crazy at my 20

[storm spire]

Well it works what doesn't work

[wanton venture]

it works now

For some.. reason

[storm spire]

Oh I think I just passed a little of my luck to you

[wanton venture]

All I did was restart my game

[wanton venture]

Thanks!

[storm spire]

Nah I was just joking your the one who solved the problem

[tall shard]

The vanilla model geometry.dragon used for ender dragon does something with animations that I can't see in the custom dragon model I use, weird... Then there is multiple neck and tail parts spawning everywhere if you use the original bone names... 🤔

[wanton venture]

nvm is not working

Is just bows and crossbows

this is another level of nonsense

Moved this to #add-ons

How did the Hive make custom block/player entities for their Hide and Seek game?

[limpid wave]

Does anyone know if there is a way to make entities that can't get hooked by a fishing hook?

[storm spire]

Only by adjusting it's collision box

[wanton venture]

You could kill the hoow when in 1.5 block range from the entity

How to spawn a projectile after an animation is done

I am making an entity that spawns through scripts, it does an animationd and despawns

First animation is spawning animation, second animation is shooting animation, third animation is despawning animation. I want it when the second animation is done it spawns a projectile, then it despawns

Use environment sensor then use filter for it

[tall shard]

I need help. I made custom armor models for zombies. But I can't get the armor trims to work properly. I put the trim textures inside "textures\trims" folder. But it looks like they are only used by the player while zombies still use the default trim textures. How can I fix this and make it work for non-player mobs only?

[tall shard]

Ah, nvm. I got it working on every mob now. But I still want the player to be unaffected by it.

I can probably work around this if I change the UV's of the player armor model and add both default and custom textures to a single texture file. But I don't wanna mess with the player stuff too much and I am looking for a straightforward way to do it.

Also I don't think it's a good idea to have vanilla textures included in a pack.

[tall shard]

I dislike this workaround. But it is the only one that works. 😭 I wish they had trim textures defined in the attachables.

[vernal crown]

anyone happen to know how to detect if a specific AI Behavior component is active?

[tulip dome]

Is there a way to add health to entity defined on his health? Like if his health is 50 it will add extra 5 and same with other healths

[wicked scaffold]

Is there a way to check if the attacker & hurt have a tag that starts with something like "team:"?
Here is my current code:

{
            "on_damage": {
              "filters": {
                "any_of": [
                  {
                    "all_of": [
                      { "test": "has_tag", "value": "team:1" },
                      { "test": "has_tag", "subject": "other", "value": "team:1" }
                    ]
                  }
                ]
              },
              "event": "ds:hit_team_player",
              "target": "other"
            },
            "deals_damage": false
          }

Now instead of making multiple of these can I make it so if you have a tag that starts with "team:" and the player u are tryna hit has that same exact tag, it triggers the event?

[wicked scaffold]

// in component_groups object in player.json
"ds:normal_health": {
        "minecraft:health": {
          "value": 20,
          "max": 20
        }
      },
"ds:hearts_11": {
        "minecraft:health": {
          "value": 22, // the default value they should be on when this comp group is on them and they haven't lost health
          "max": 22
        }
      }

And then this (same file, basically to trigger do /event ??? (I don't really remember command, just see the args, you'll find ur event's id)

// in the events object within the player.json



"ds:set_health_normal": {
        "add": {
          "component_groups": [
            "ds:normal_health"
          ]
        }
      },
      "ds:set_hearts_11": {
        "add": {
          "component_groups": [
            "ds:hearts_11"
          ]
        }
      }

Yoooo anyone?

[slender dirge]

did spawn rules break or something for custom entities in this update?

mine dont spawn like at all no more

[wanton dune]

No sadly because filters are limited to that you need to manually put it

[reef oyster]

how do I get an entity that fires projectiles but can't turn around from it's inital rotation, at least not on it's own?

[wicked scaffold]

Ah dang

[sterile flint]

Guys, quick question

When you use an /event command to change an entity texture that has a minecraft:npc component, by altering its variant (each variant is linked to a specific texture), the dialogue box still shows the default texture instead of the updated one. This happens because the "skin" change isn't applied to the NPC's UI. Manually updating the skin fixes this, but is there a way to update the dialogue box skin directly within the event?

[wicked scaffold]

No i don't think it will update, just close the npc ui & reopen it

[barren plover]

Is this somehow possible without much expenditure?json "minecraft:health": { "value": "query.property('heart_stealer:hearts')" }

[wicked scaffold]

That doesn't uhhh seem right... Idk abt u but I made a 2 way gate to interact with the player health..., I mean it doesn't look like there are any problems with it so just yea

Test it and try

[barren plover]

I have tested it and it didnt worked, thats why I asked

Ohhhhh

[sterile flint]

I've tried that but that changes nothing

[sterile flint]

I've removed the "skin_list" property from the NPC component, and that was it

[wicked scaffold]

Ah well, good for you

[wicked scaffold]

Well, sorry again for the ping, uhm can I detect in the filter if they player has a property?

[wicked scaffold]

Yo so this but instead of tag thing, can I detect if they have a property in the filter, instead of has_tag?

[wanton dune]

Yes...

[wicked scaffold]

How?

I wouldn't suppose it would be... has_property right?

[fading elm]

I want to create a player animation for when the player is holding a certain custom item I have

How would I go about finding the player model, and putting the animation to the player, rather than to a custom entity

[wanton dune]

No... It just detect you have that property but not values

I'll give you list of filter names

bool_property, enum_property, float_property, int_property

{
    "test": "enum_property",
    "subject": "self",
    "domain": "property:name",
    "operator": "==",
    "value": ""
}```

[wanton dune]

This is player's geom file, include slim, normal and cape

[wicked scaffold]

Thanks again!

[fading elm]

Can I just shove it right into a resource?

[wanton dune]

Just use the identifier of the model it's already in the software/app built-in itself you just the model for references

[fading elm]

alr bet. Also, I've been told that theres a player model on blockbench, but I cant find it anywhere in bedrock entity or entity wizard

[wanton dune]

They probably meant thi

[fading elm]

alr, thanks!

Why is it so hard to get your entity to pickup and equip armour 🙃

[vernal crown]

Anyone know if there's a way to detect an entity's behavior starting/stopping/changing from script?

[elfin frigate]

Would something like WorldAfterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger work? It's been a while since I've looked at the World[Before|After]Events but that might be where I'd start looking.

[vernal crown]

Unfortunately, no, I'm already handling that event and the component doesn't seem to get added or removed.

[bronze rivet]

Hey, I am working on a entity, but wants when it dies, that it doesn't have that anoying death sound and particles, hwo can you fix this? A custom sound or partciles is also good, like radom.burp. This is my code:

[reef oyster]

why isn't it firing at players? it works with villagers

[crude gust]

Your code shouldn't even work... You have some components in description field.

[frail fractal]

Are Spawn Rules broken as of now? i got this spawn rule but my entity won't spawn :/

[storm spire]

Can I be able to override a health component with minimum value cause I tried overding it with a normal health component and it doesn't work

[bronze rivet]

It does... idk why

[humble shadow]

If I make weight 0 in spawn rules will it make the mob stop spawning? I want to disable all vanilla spawns

[high schooner]

I have the particle effect in the MCADDON file once extracted in the RP
Can some one please help by taking a look at it.
I dont know what to do...
I just want to attach the particle created on snow storm to the entity when its walking and sitting.

Could someone please take a look at this for me

[pliant oak]

is it possible to change the size of the player inventory?

[ruby cape]

im trying to mimic a warden behavior 'minecraft:behavior.emerge', but i wanted to see if there's a way to do it from a wall? Instead of the ground

[devout galleon]

Does anyone know how to make an entity reliably path to certain kinds of blocks on demand?

[formal veldt]

you can use the minecraft:behavior.move_to_block component

[devout galleon]

But it's not consistent. It takes a while before it actually starts pathing

[simple sinew]

Is it possible to make a texture array in a render controller that uses string values instead of enums?

[potent tiger]

Anyone got the player.entity.json?

I downloaded one of the vanilla but

Have some mistakes

[verbal marsh]

How do i stop look_at_target anim from playing when i play my own animation where it involves with moving head?

[wanton dune]

Just overwrite previous animations it 🤷

[verbal marsh]

really helpful.

genuinely not giving me any instructions whatsoever that i have to resort using some hacky method

[wanton dune]

What?

Btw you can just stop the Lok at target animations if you have some query used

[verbal marsh]

well i do need to disable the whole animation really

either way doesn't really matter anymore i got it to work.

[soft oak]

Anyone know what I would use to make an entity hold the item in its first inventory slot?

[steel creek]

One question, how can I make a mob spawn quite rare?

It is a very difficult mob to find.

[storm spire]

Is it possible to make an entities hitbox rotate with the animation of the body in RP?

Cause I have this entity that bends it's head so hitting the head doesn't damage it cause the hitbox is still stuck on its original position?

is the looked_at component broken?

[latent sinew]

did you ever find a solution to this? im having a similar issue

[scarlet hornet]

You could create a dummy entity, that uses your spawn rules, to spawn naturally in the world. Via transform you could instantly transform this dummy into your actual entity, without it triggering the "minecraft:entity_spawned" event
Then the egg of your entity and the /summon command will alwas trigger "minecraft:entity_spawned" event and the naturally spawned will not.

[ripe nebula]

[lost jungle]

Is it possible (wiuthout scripts or experimental features) to have an entity transform from a lightning strike?
aka, Mob A gets struck by lightning and instantly dies and Mob B spawns in its place.
Or alternatively, Mob A is struck by lightning and changes model, health, and behaviour. Basically becoming a different mob (Mob B).

[kind charm]

Yes it is.

The villager json file may assist you.

[lost jungle]

when an entity spawns, can you have lightning summoned at their location (ideally without scripts)?

[kind charm]

You can do entity spawn event -> queue command -> summon lightning

[lost jungle]

As part of the spawn rules, entity.json, or ...scripts?

[forest storm]

Is there a way to remove the riding text from a rideable entity? Setting it to just a space in the lang file makes it so the gray backing appears but I'd rather nothing showed up at all

[kind charm]

You mean the interact text or?

[forest storm]

Yes

[kind charm]

minecraft:interact
minecraft:rideable

[forest storm]

I don't believe interact_text works in rideable anyways, I haven't ever had success with setting that to anything outside of the language. Also that's a string without a boolean option to turn it off

[bright sun]

hey by chance is it possible to set up multiple geometrys inside one entity? and if so can they be changed using the get_name query?

[winter olive]

You can set it to an invisible character but there still will be a small black box.

[winter olive]

Yes you can find a lot of Add-Ons on MCPEDL that have set a nametag to change appearance feature. You can take a look at them.

[bright sun]

Oh great ill definitely have to hunt for those

[random ingot]

how to set custom properties outside the enum values
like

"causal:testProperties": {
"values": ["test","test2"]
}
then set the property outside the "values" like "test3"

[wanton dune]

No you can't... The values you specified there are the values you can only set no matter what

Otherwise it will throw error

[random ingot]

is there any subtitute for property?

that can be accessed using molang query function

[wanton dune]

probably, not so sure, since skin id, variant or mark variant only accept integer values

[pliant oak]

how to determine the sounds of an entity based on it's actor properties?

is it even possible?

[nimble bramble]

Was the limit on the number of actor properties removed? It was 32 before, but I vaguely recall the limit being removed.

[solar jungle]

how to use properties in materials?

[stray shore]

Can someone tell me what does that mean?

I still dont understand how to use animation controllers. I add a folder animation_controllers in an RP folder or BP?

[nimble bramble]

There are animation controllers in both the BP and the RP. Where you want to put it depends on whether you're trying to do something on the client or on the server.

The issue here is that "idle" is not a defined animation on the entity.

[nimble bramble]

Documentation: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/material-config-description.html

[nimble bramble]

Not exactly clear what you mean here. Do you mean the sounds that the entity makes based on some internal state?

[nimble bramble]

Hmm, Microsoft's documentation seems to suggest that the limit still exists. Sad.

[stray shore]

I defined it as default state or whatever it is. I am making a guide book for a map, i made a book, idle anim and animation of the changing page. I cant even make a book start and idle animation on summon, only using commands in game.

[nimble bramble]

Can you send the client-side entity definition here?

[stray shore]

Thats a good question. What is client side?

[nimble bramble]

The one in the resource pack.

From the entity folder.

[stray shore]

Give me a few minutes.

"render_controllers": ["controller.render.default"],
"animations": {
"basic_controller": "controller.animation.guide_book.new"
}
}
}
}

[stray shore]

You mean this?

[nimble bramble]

That's the one.

There is no reference to idle in the animations compound.

You have basic_controller in there, but not idle.

[stray shore]

Ah, that how it works, i need a reference in the entity?

[nimble bramble]

The way it works is that an animation controller will play animations that are defined within the entity that is using the controller, not referencing the animations by their absolute ID.

That way, two entities can use the same animation controller, but have completely different animations connected to it.

For instance, you might have an animation controller for handling a walking animation, and whether the entity will be idle, walk, or run. But if you have a humanoid mob, those animations will be much different than, say, a giant spider mob.

[stray shore]

But arent animations declared in the controller?

[nimble bramble]

They are referenced in a controller via the IDs assigned in the entity definition, but it is in the entity definition itself where that declaration happens.

[solar tendon]

What is "origin" and "size" in geometry? I am trying to make a 16x16 pixel hud element that changes from a molang query

[wanton venture]

origin is the position of the geometry and size is the size of it

In the model's space, measured in pixels.

[serene spruce]

How do you decrease the spawn rate on entities

Do animations require animation controllers?

[wanton dune]

not really

you can have animation that doesn't have an animation controller and you can play it /playanimation

[solar tendon]

kk

you said "not really". what are the exceptions?

[wanton dune]

you just use anim controller when you want to trigger something in a specific way like accurate or whatever you wanted

[heavy coral]

How to detect if my entity was spawned in using a spawn egg or summoned using commands and after detecting it, I can run an event on the entity. I know I can detect it using scripts but those things require specific versions but I wanna make my addon compatible with all versions. So I need alternatives.

afaik that's a hardcoded thing already... Choice is to ride it with /ride constantly

[fast kraken]

Actually it stopped ejecting the rider when I added the "can_power_jump" component

Maybe I also moved something else, but I think thats what I did

[wanton dune]

That's kinda bs

Now I'm trying to make it so you can ride it under water but I can't make it go up or down

I guess I'll have to do it the hard way with scripts

[ruby cape]

is this how you handle enum properties? Because for some reason when i put the variables in a anim controller nothing happens, even when the property was updated in the BP.

            "aerialguard",
            "endaerialguard",
            "groundGuard"
          ]
        },...

      "scripts": {
        "initialize": [
          "variable.sleep = query.property('maniacc_fns:dragon_state') == 'sleep';",
          "variable.wakeup = query.property('maniacc_fns:dragon_state') == 'wakeup';",
          "variable.groundIdle = query.property('maniacc_fns:dragon_state') == 'groundIdle';",
          "variable.startAirGuard = query.property('maniacc_fns:dragon_state') == 'startairguard';",
          "variable.airGuardPath = query.property('maniacc_fns:dragon_state') == 'aerialguard';"
        ]...

[wanton dune]

Everything looks fine but are you sure that it's setting the property?

[ruby cape]

Yes, I ran the script to give me the output and it tells me exactly which one is being activated

Neither of my animations are playing unfortunately

[analog magnet]

Hey. Does someone know how to make the ghast the shooting texture? The render controller says it uses variable.ischarging.
But how is this variable set?

[tall shard]

It is a hardcoded variable. You can call it directly.

[analog magnet]

How. I have to call it from the server side. I am developing a bedrock server software.

[tall shard]

I used the vanilla render controller for the client. I don't know about server though.

[analog magnet]

Could you tell me how its called on the render controller? Maybe I figure out a way to do that.
I dont have the experience for client sided variables since I mainly do server sided stuff...

[tall shard]

{ "format_version": "1.8.0", "render_controllers": { "controller.render.ghast": { "arrays": { "textures": { "Array.skins": [ "Texture.default", "Texture.shooting" ] } }, "geometry": "Geometry.default", "materials": [ { "*": "Material.default" } ], "textures": [ "Array.skins[variable.ischarging]" ] } } }

You use Array.skins in render controller. In textures, you switch depending on the state of ischarging variable. But you need to also set the ghast.entity.json file inside resource_pack/entity if you don't use the default texture path and add two texture file (regular and shooting textures) locations there.

"textures": { "default": "textures/entity/ghast/ghast", "shooting": "textures/entity/ghast/ghast_shooting" }

This defines the texture directories. Then render controller takes the names "default" and "shooting" from here.

Just edited my comment for a little more information.

Is it possible to have an entity that is not pushed by water?

[bleak fossil]

Is there anyone here who's familiar with coding mob variants? I need help :>> #1323353171720011898

[bronze cove]

Hi do you know if its possible to apply texture to a mob/block based on the block below them(like when the mob stands on grass it gets the grass texture?

[rare heath]

So what I would do for entities is you can have an event constantly running that has the command of 'execute if block ~ ~-1 ~ grass run event entity @s id:turn_grass_event' . Therefore inside your entity you can have events that activate component groups that have different variants or mark_variants (whichever you prefer) defined inside them for each type of block you want to use. Then all you have to do is setup the rendercontroller of the entity to use specific textures when the variant or mark_variant is a specific value.

not sure how I would do blocks

[bronze cove]

i want it so that every block works. every time the entity goes over a block it should apply the texture

is there a way to just get the textures?

[bronze cove]

without doing it manually?

[wanton venture]

No

[rare heath]

Yeah unfortunately i cant help you there.

Ok Thank you

[tall shard]

Why does ender dragon spawner render two models? 🤔 There is the regular model next to the miniature model. I want to get rid of the first one but I don't know how.

[lofty wedge]

Can someone help me fix this the problem is the dialogue not showing up even I click the Talk button I'm making a custom npc

Here the file

[glass hedge]

Uh guys

Actually one sec

[solar jungle]

how do i render items in custom player model

[glass hedge]

So

Is the zombie horse not being capable of acquiring a target intentional?

I added the attack, move towards target, etc, components and it still does not function as intended

[lost jungle]

I am tired and dont understand it.

I have this fish (shark) that is supposed to swim, but it does not. It was based on dolphins, so removed the navigation and used cod instead.
But still. They just sit there (and no errors as far as I can tell and the game cares to say).

May I ask if anyone knows what is the go to for entities to move/swim?
Here is the json for reference.

[kind charm]

If you're using the dolphin's code you have to use their runtime id.

[lost jungle]

I realised.
I dont think sharks with the dolphin's code would look right.
So opted to have them be more generic mobs that can swim like fish.

Unless there is a runtime for mobs to act like fish, is there a generic set up?

[kind charm]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/runtime-identifier.html

Swimming mobs are notorious to implement due to the movement components not behaving as expected(or working at all) hence why most aquatic mobs use rnutime ids(barring marketplace projects).

[lost jungle]

darn.
Ok, I see what you mean (was reading runtime identifiers)

I get how that is a fix to an otherwise annoying issue for anyone making a mob that swims.

Thanks, I will try these.

now they just flop about on the ground and still stationary while swimming....

I will have to gut the whole code and figure out why these fish are broken.

I swear if the error is a random character....

[dusty jasper]

Is it a known issue that rideable entities on format version 1.20.0 can't jump up single blocks when ridden, when I put the format version down to 1.16.0 it can jump up single blocks?

or is there a new component on 1.20.0 that determines how high a entity can path

[lost jungle]

update, now they want to move after giving them dolphin's runtime identifier.
But now they make bubbles when the code is set to false.

I swear, either the coding for addons is more a suggestion to this frustrating game, or something else is wrong.

[lost jungle]

ok, they work nicely.

Is there a way to get a mob to attack a boat.
I can get them to go ham on armor stands (family: inanimate), but not boats.

[rare heath]

I've tried to get some things to attack boats, but it does not work with basic targeting, however you can use the minecraft:area_attack component to make the shark destroy any boats in an area around it. You can even change the time in-between damage so it takes a longer or shorter time to break the boat.

just make sure you add a filter in the component to where it will only work on boats

[lost jungle]

That sounds interesting.

The issue I have is they flat out ignore boats. They can't damage something that they won't target.
I also noticed when they go for armour stands when I had them target inanimate entities, they attack but dont deal damage (which included boats but they still ignored them). At least, they are not breaking the stand.

I liked the idea of them chasing boats and chomping at them to scare the player, but end up not damaging the boat.
It would be interesting to see them break boats if provoked so that players can still sail around them when left alone.

[rare heath]

hmm... when i did this I had a serpent that was always chasing the player so it just chased the player when he was in a boat, im not sure how you would accomplish the pathfinding towards a boat if the player is not the target.

do you want them to attack players?

[lost jungle]

Only when provoked, so when they are hit by the player.

They do that and will naturally chase boats when the offending player is in it.
They also go for undead mobs as a different behaviour and will also target the mob even if in a boat.

So the issue of targeting the 'rider' of a boat is not the issue. I am not sure why the code can identify the family of the entity, but still not go for boats.
My best guess is there is another piece of code that prevents them from doing so.
And whether it is something a casual coder can feasibly have access to is beyond me.

Either way, it is not the end of the world.
It is simply a limitation I assume folks will have to compromise on for bedrock.

[rare heath]

yeah no clue why boats dont work as a targetable entity 🤔

[lost jungle]

My best guess is that bedrock coding will always have its limitations, bugs and other wacky quirks that has to be dealt with to achieve whatever it is one intends to do/make.

Either way it goes, it is a blessing to have have a great community still.

[rare heath]

spitting facts

[crisp vessel]

How can I make an entity check another entity's bool property?

[formal veldt]

entity sensor

bool_property

[broken marsh]

Can you define an enum property's default value with Molang?
Since they're both strings idk whether it would differentiate "value" from "{ return 'value' };"

[frank carbon]

I am not sure I understand. Do you mean putting Molang in the default value field for a property?

"my:property": {
  "type": "enum",
  "values": ["value"],
  "default": "{return 'value';};",
  "client_sync": true
}

[broken marsh]

yes

[frank carbon]

No, I doubt that works

You might be able to set a Molang variable to a string and assign the property through the set_property event response, though.

[broken marsh]

the ms learn docs make it sound possible

An error can still occur if a numeric result is returned from the expression for an enum property (which expects a string result)

(default value section)

[frank carbon]

How bizarre. I agree, that does imply it

[kind charm]

I cannot see why it would not?

[broken marsh]

I don't know when I'd use it personally but I'm rewriting the wiki page

[kind charm]

Nice.

[frank carbon]

Nevermind what I suggested a moment ago, then. According to that what I suggested would fail too

Indeed, I think that insinuates a string value returned in Molang is a unique pointer to that string, which itself is a number

[broken marsh]

i guess it could check if the string is one of the enum values and, if not, treat it as Molang

I'll test at some point

[frank carbon]

I wonder if you could use an int property to store string values!

[mental salmon]

how can i add a component or trigger an event when an entity attacks a player?

i tried to use damage sensor on player.json but it seems it doesnt work

[frank carbon]

default can take Molang. Very curious

Although the only query it can take is 'had_component_group'

[frank carbon]

Sort-of. Not directly, through queries and variables like I thought; those return some string datatype that Molang does differentiate from integers. I cannot find a way to convert a string to a number in Molang.

It could be done through scripting if one wrote a hashing function to convert a string to a number.

[rare heath]

is it just me... or is the projectile component super iffy? I literally copy past the projectile from an arrow tweak what it does when it hits the ground and it has super weird gravity behaviors and inertia seems to have no effect. I wish I could just use runtime identifiers, but that screws up everything that I did for when it hits the ground. My projectile works, but the movements is super finiky... like it will be flying forward fine, but then it just stops moving and falls. 😢

[frank carbon]

@rare heath The projectile component works best with runtime identifiers, regrettably. Without them, Minecraft tries to combine the projectile physics with entity inertia, and you get the result you see.

[rare heath]

typical minecraft screwing

[dusty jasper]

What component could be used to make an entity move towards a certain entity?

I think I could use a mixture out of some sort of sensor that will set an entity as the target and a move towards target.

but really not sure how to do this nicely

[rigid kiln]

It's possible to make an entity like this one in Bedrock?

[glass hedge]

Are conditions possible in damage_sensor?

Cuz i need to disable damage only when the entity has a specific tag

[kind charm]

Yes. Should be.

[glass hedge]

Ok since it did not show up in auto completion but i will check

Ok, it was in on_damage

[glass hedge]

Oh, well uhh

The deals_damage property is not dependent on the filters in on_damage

As in, it will be false regardless of conditions

[devout shell]

Hello guys, i dont really know where to post this question, so sorry if i am posting this in the wrong channel. Does anybody know whats this sound that get played when you hit a invunerable enity, i dont like it and i want to remove it, but i cannot find that specific sound. Can someone please help me. (Dont ignore my message please 😢 )

This is waht i am talking about...

[rare heath]

You have to have two entries. The first will be the one that tests for the tag and has deals_damage set to true. The second will be your deals_damage set to false entry. If my knowledge of damage sensors is correct, it should try to run the test on the first one, if it is successful it will deal damage, if not it will go to the next and no damage will be given. Im not sure if this matters, but make sure the on_damage is before/above the deals_damage entry in the first one

[glass hedge]

So it does in fact affect deals_damage, correct?

[rare heath]

yes you just need that second entry

how do yall get it to show the code properly btw... ive never rly used discord before so no clue how that works

    "triggers": [
        {
            "cause": "all",
            "on_damage": {
                "event": "col:damage",
                "filters": {
                    "all_of": [
                        {
                            "test": "has_tag",
                            "subject": "player",
                            "value": "double_frozen_damage"
                        },
                        {
                            "test": "has_tag",
                            "value": "frozen"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            },
            "damage_multiplier": 2
        },
        {
            "cause": "all",
            "on_damage": {
                "event": "col:damage"
            }
        }
    ]
}  ```

ignore my tags but this makes it to where the entity takes double damage when they have the tags that I have specified. since you are not using damage multipliers, just substitute those for deals_damage

[glass hedge]

Use ``` at the beginning and end

Not the quotation marks, the backtick

[rare heath]

thx

[glass hedge]

Ok I'll try your method and see if it works

I can't even do it cuz i can't use queries in the value property, but thank you for answering anyway

[rare heath]

didnt you say it was a tag?

[glass hedge]

Well yes

It was testing for a tag but the value of the tag was actually a molang query

[rare heath]

ah.. you can test for a range of values, but i dont think you can do molang

[glass hedge]

Ok ima drop what i was trying to do

So i was thinking of liie

Like*

A peace system where players can disable pvp for each other, and my idea was that the players would get each others' usernames as tags, then the damage sensor would check for said tag and determine whether to deal damage or not

[rare heath]

Yeah i cant see that being possible without molang

tragic

[glass hedge]

Wait, is this sarcastic or genuine

[rare heath]

genuine

[glass hedge]

Well rip, gotta break it to the bois that we ain't getting a friend system

[rare heath]

Kind of off topic, but im not sure what forum to put this in, but this one seems active enough. Is there a way to substitute scoreboard values into things like /say You have killed <insert scoreboard entry> ogres...

Does anyone know how to make a mob get progressively stronger

Or for it to spawn at a specific time in game

[solar cliff]

Not at the point that I can really test this myself again, still brushing up on the docs since last time I messed with addons in 2022, are new mobs at least viable yet to include as regular spawns? Back then I made a few that spawned in various biomes and even having more than 10 or so was enough to make mobile unplayable and they were not complex mobs (screenshots attached). Thanks 🙂

there has been an interesting development where a mob from an addon was given the ability to open doors.
The thing is, me and a friend did not realise that it also meant the same mob would be able to open iron doors.

I have no idea how to remove that without also removing the ability to open normal doors. Nor understand why that is a thing because no vanilla mob should be able to do that. XD

[rare heath]

in the navigation component there is an option that you can set to false called can_open_iron_doors

im guessing that will fix the issue

this kinda sounds like... AI?

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

const mobs = [...];

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(({ hurtEntity, damageSource: { damagingEntity, damagingProjectile, cause }, damage }) => {

It should be this.

if you detect death. Why not just use entityDie?

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ deadEntity, damageSource: { damagingProjectile, damagingEntity, cause } }) => {
   if (!mobs.includes(deadEntity?.typeId) return;
});```

How does action && stuff control dust particles?

Place the particles inside the animation or control them with an animation controller?

[frank carbon]

Could be either. Could be both. It really depends on what would be more convenient or would make more sense.

There is a ton of flexibility with the particle system and with animations. For example, if you wanted a particle to emit periodically, you have a couple of choices:

• To control the emission with the animation (i.e. looping enabled, the particle emits at every certain key frame interval, and the particle definition uses a simple steady/instant emission rate component)
• To control the emission within the particle (i.e. use expression/looping lifetime component, and the animation or controller simply emits the particle)

The choice between which to choose comes down to the complexity of the animations that need implemented. I would expect that non-looping math-driven animations played conditionally would probably not use particle key frames, since it would emit once and then never again. It would make more sense to attach the emitters onto the entity (perhaps via animation controllers) and have them activate conditionally.

[unborn pier]

But I opened its pack to check and did not find that it used an animation controller to control the dust particle generation or placed the particles in the animation to occur together with the animation

[wanton dune]

No.

Just teleport

[frank carbon]

Simply do not teleport them. What is the problem you are trying to solve?

[wanton dune]

ahh. I have an entity, I want players that can't use /tp or able to teleport that entity while they can still teleport other entities like normally

[frank carbon]

Since we cannot fine-tune control over the player's commands, I would look into disabling that access and giving the player an alternative that I could control.

E.g. a form that lets the player put in an entity's information, then teleports them to it. You can then pre-parse an error/failure if the identifier matches your entity.

[wanton dune]

hmm...

Have you all had issues with mobs spawning at high y values?

I've found a totally okay workaround, but spawn rules haven't been my friend exactly

[little birch]

Anyone know what's wrong with this float property? I keep getting an error saying default value does not match specified float type.

[rigid kiln]

there's a way to make that a entity summon a row of a ground attack in more directions like the Evocation Fang?

[grand summit]

how to change the player's horizontal jump velocity?

[heavy coral]

does the "delay_filter" component in spawn rules talk about min and max time in ticks or seconds?

[proud wharf]

Check the final generated Json, whether it has 0.0 or 0. Could be that your compiler removes trailing 0, turning it into an int, in which case you could set the default to something with non zero value after decimal place (e.g. 0.0001) or just set it to a molang string "0"

[maiden rapids]

hey yall, I haven't touched my addon for a while. could someone remind me how to make an entity's texture render with transparent elements? my sheep has black areas where it's meant to be clear 😔

[fast kraken]

Change the material

I always use "bat" for transparent textures

[maiden rapids]

hmmm wouldn't that mess up the sheep's ability to change colors?

[fast kraken]

Not that I know

What method are you using for the colors?

Just different textures?

[maiden rapids]

uhhh the sheep has one TGA texture

[fast kraken]

I'm not sure if this will affect

I don't think if that has something to do with the material

[maiden rapids]

it's definitely odd since the vanilla sheep does have transparent elements

[wooden radish]

is it possible using

            "minecraft:inventory": {
                    "container_type": "container",
                    "can_be_siphoned_from": true,
                    "inventory_size": 27,
                    "restrict_to_owner": false```
to load a loot table into their inventory

[wanton dune]

that won't affect it tbh

[maiden rapids]

changing the materials to bat in the entity file just completely gets rid of the skin 😂

[wanton dune]

try using entity_alphatest

[maiden rapids]

that's what I did - it gets rid of the semi-transparent elements (the skin). the sheep originally has "sheep:entity_change_color" as the material, but I have no idea why won't some elements be transparent

[warm wedge]

Does anybody know how to add interaction to mobs

      "minecraft:interact": {
        "interactions": {
          "on_interact": {
            "target": "self",
            "filters": {
              "test": "has_tag",
              "operator": "=",
              "value": "slayer"
            },
            "event": "bossfight"
          }
        }
      },

This doesn't work and I don't know why

[modest trench]

Your operator is supposed to be == rather then =

[warm wedge]

Then it'll work?

[modest trench]

Well are you testing if the player has the tag or the entity

[warm wedge]

Tried alot of ways lol

[warm wedge]

If player has the tag then event

[modest trench]

Ok then your missing "subject"

[warm wedge]

      "minecraft:interact": {
        "interactions": {
          "on_interact": {
            "target": "self",
            "filters": {
              "test": "has_tag",
              "operator": "==",
              "subject": "player",
              "value": "slayer"
            },
            "event": "bossfight"
          }
        }
      },

?

[modest trench]

Operator needs to be also ==

Not only =

[modest trench]

That should work

[warm wedge]

Okay I'll test this on bridge then Minecraft

[modest trench]

Ok

[warm wedge]

Could you also help me on

Something else

It's very minor aswell

[modest trench]

What is it?

[wanton dune]

no difference btw

[warm wedge]

Doesn't work brrr

[wanton dune]

@warm wedge

[modest trench]

Yeah I was about to tell him to use yours

[warm wedge]

Currently testing it

[modest trench]

Oh I see, it was right and wrong. It was just formated wrong

[warm wedge]

How

[modest trench]

BTW Coddy do you know how to make a ui for an entity rather then a block, because that's all i know for json ui

Because I'm trying to figure out how to make a inventory ui like the horse

[warm wedge]

It doesn't workk

[warm wedge]

Doesn't work go brrr

Idk how doesn't say anything wrong

On bridge

[wanton dune]

Then you definitely did something wrong in your side

It works fine with me

[warm wedge]

What is the format version of the mob

[wanton dune]

"container_type": "horse"?

[wanton dune]

1.16.0

[modest trench]

Yeah but my own because I want to add health bar in there and a chest slot to remove and add the chest to give the entity inventory

[wanton dune]

Ahh. Say hello to our little friend.

        }
    ]
}

[modest trench]

This should work

[wanton dune]

That's what he did btw

you only added the interact text

-# I didn't see you added operator lol

Also, try using queue_command not run_command

I also advise you to always add an identifier in your event

instead of test do it as coddy:test

[warm wedge]

Brr

[wanton dune]

^ try this @warm wedge

[modest trench]

Agree

[warm wedge]

Doesn't work

it just doesn't want to

[wanton dune]

it works on players

[warm wedge]

Nope

[wanton dune]

you problem then

[fast kraken]

So... nothing about this?

[modest trench]

Well your missing

"priority": {}

I recommend to also add

"speed_multiplier": {}

Tho it's not necessary

[fast kraken]

I don't think the error is related to that

It's having problems with the test filter

[modest trench]

But you need a priority

[modest trench]

Even if the problem is with the test filter

Randomized Structure Loot

To create randomized loot for your structure, you will need to download NBT Studio. This method can only be done on a PC.

Jan 28, 2025, 12:02 AM

[kind charm]

You'll want to find the entities in the NBT.

[pliant oak]

i know how to do it for blocks, i don't know how to do it for entities tho

i tried to do the same thing i do for blocks but it didn't work

see

i tested the loot table with /tool command, it's valid

i have also tried to look for mineshafts in the game files and it's not there

[pliant oak]

anyone?

[pliant oak]

never mind, this worked, apparently i have made a typo in the file name and repeated the same typo in the loot command

I added this to its components:

Could it have something to do with the fact, that the block is only 0.2 blocks in hight?

Could you please explain to me a little what it would be like, I don't have experience with that type of code.

[scarlet hornet]

Go to your behaviour pack of your entity and implement this:

"minecraft:scale" { "value" : X}

Replace the X with any number, you want to scale your entity up.
Then go to blockbench and just model it in a smaller size, if you want it bigger, just scale it up like shown on top

[modest mortar]

if that is but in the game you still see yourself small

I just tried it with a chicken:

Should work

Thank you very much brother if it worked for me

[nimble bramble]

I am attempting to switch out an entity's custom_hit_test component with an alternate version of it to change the size in real-time. However, this doesn't appear to function correctly. It seems to resync on world reload, but it refuses to update in real-time. I reckon this is a bug?

[fluid path]

How can I also see description like this guy on yt?

Any advice on how to fix my custom NPC entity having NPC as theyre name when looking at them? I tried removing it, turning it off, yet it remains :/

[kind charm]

Unfortunately no.

[wanton venture]

You need to rename them to make the NPC text be something else. You can do this in many ways, the most common being summoning the NPC with the custom name itself.

That's if with "fix" you meant change, because there is technically nothing to fix as that is an intended behavior xd

[cold tree]

Can't spawn eggs go to the spawn eggs creative munu?

[wanton venture]

They can

How can I make a player that holds the interaction button (e.g. right mouse button) on an entity to trigger an event on it?

I know how to do the clicking but I don't know how to do the holding.

Then I also need to stop the event after not holding the interaction button anymore.

It could be when using an item or when the player is bare hand.

[oak imp]

Anybody here know of a working example of an interaction counter for an entity? I want to make an interaction allowable only once every 24 hours for my entity but can't seem to figure it out. The closest I've come is using a filter for "clock_time" == 0.25 (Sunset), but that's not once a day--that's just all while it remains Sunset.

And only at Sunset.

I need something that allows me to basically milk a wolf (not what it sounds like) once a day, and then that's it for the day until at least 24 (game) hours goes by...

[tall shard]

Does anyone know why behavior.melee_box_attack or behavior.melee_attack does not work very well when I put it or any other AI goal component inside a component group?

As soon as I put an AI goal component inside a component group, the entity still tries to attack the target entity but it cannot hit the target entity at all...

[tall shard]

behavior.ocelotattack works though.

[tall shard]

Now, random stroll and look at components fail to work when I have a component group AI goal component. Why?

[oak imp]

Maybe order of operations? This kinda stuff vexing me lately too—different but similar. I wonder if the order of the components matters in your case?

Also wonder if chatgpt knows, or if it would just provide some bullshit guess lol

I’ve been using 3o-mini high model for advice and it’s about 60-70% accurate.

[mystic oracle]

Guys, I need to know if there is any way to have the glowing effect in Minecraft, if it can be replicated to give the effect to entities with some addon or if it can be done somehow?

[mystic oracle]

Is there a way to make an NPC not split in half when an animation is executed and that the feet also execute the animation since I want to make an animation of a sitting NPC?

[dawn coyote]

hi there, do someone know where I can download the vanilla materials? or may I know what are the available masked materials that I can use on a player?

[stray shore]

Is there a way to prevent leaving a vehicle when Space button is pressed?

[scarlet hornet]

[dawn coyote]

it doenst have the default materials

[tall shard]

Do you mean changing priorities or just just placing the code on top of other component codes? I think that didn’t work. But I’ll give it another go.

[tall shard]

I didn’t have a good time with ChatGPT. But I’ve been using it for creating mathematical functions that are useful for animations.

[tall shard]

Funny thing is I see these components getting used by vanilla entities everywhere without any issue. So my last resort is using the whole vanilla code of any entity as a start point and adding/removing components gradually from there.

[oak imp]

It can work! What matters most is the “format_version”—infuriatingly different between generations of entities. Things can work totally differently between versions. Documentation tends to focus on the most recent format versions.

[tall shard]

Okay, I got it work now. I don't exactly know what resolved it lol. I put these components inside a component group and changed the format version to use the same as fox's.

[oak imp]

Almost definitely the format version mattered in your case. It’s frustrating working with “older” formats (I say it in quotes because technically they’re not supposed to indicate that they’re “deprecated” our “outdated” in any way—just different). As they develop new formats, oftentimes new functionality is only possible in those new formats, and sometimes (often) old functionality is changed or moved around in the new format (or removed/unsupported entirely).

They may never “update” or reformat prior format versioned entities—there’s little reason to, unless they add behavior to the mob that can’t be achieved in the original format.

This is part of the reason there are 3 horse entity files in the resource pack side of things lol

3 different formats and they don’t want anyone’s 15-year-old horsie “Sea Biscuit” getting 86’d on world startup by removing a legacy file

[tall shard]

In that case, thanks for your help! I changed it from 1.21.0 to 1.21.40. I guess there have been so many changes recently.

I just found a weirdly specific game breaking bug. It causes a crash if you hit a custom entity holding a crossbow, throw a shareable item that the entity doesn't eat and wait for it to pick it up over crossbow.

Edit: Nvm, my behavior.charge_held_item component was in the wrong place.

[oak imp]

Fun with interactions

I hate them

I’m still learning as well

It truly feels like an awards ceremony when you finally get it all worked out, but then you remember this would have been so much easier if it was just thoroughly documented!

Exhibit A: “Entity format version 1.21.40 and all entities that share this version” —> and then all child documentation for every component group, component, and event possible for that format version.

[strong tide]

Is it possible to make dyeable armor for entities?

[kind charm]

Yeah. Dyeable armour is possible.

[strong tide]

but I say, for an entity to use not the player, for example what happens with the wolf

[kind charm]

A player...is an entity...
