Entities General

[sonic bolt]

but also specify "only 1 has special tag"

[undone axle]

Fair

slight problem tho

I only have the OLD wolf spawn rules. Weren't they changed when varients got added?

[sonic bolt]

no?

I think I need all detail of your problem. I'm guessing does members naturally spawn? does leader naturally spawn? does .... etc. etc.

so. I might never answer your problem at all lol. sry

[undone axle]

It's my first time doing entities properly and I'm starting a passion project

[sonic bolt]

me too

here is my first, currently add on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2e9T5a6bQ0

[undone axle]

I bet I can guess what it does

[sonic bolt]

still in dev

[sonic bolt]

I made each type of real world cats in each entities with custom personality, traits and behaviors.

also cross breed possible

I'm look like idoit obsessed with cats

[undone axle]

Im just still tryna figure out how to add a condition to a spawn event

[sonic bolt]

oo

okok go dm. I could help. the Add-on doc is kinda hard to read.

so, I dont want to flood general

[undone axle]

like I need to have a "is_pack_leader" component or something so that the other members of the pack are spawned properly

[undone axle]

This is how I disable mob spawning right?

[sonic bolt]

yes lol

indeed. this is the only way

[haughty tusk]

is there a way to fix this? this is an entity model btw

[little cloud]

entity projection, you place entities above players heads that are only visible to them via property overrides and then you offset their position visually

[worthy hinge]

How do I make an entity align with a block (0.50,0.50 coords) and rotate to a certain rotation forever after it's spawned?

[kind charm]

Use rotation_axis_aligned

[worthy hinge]

Ty!

[strong tide]

[Geometry][error]-wypnt bab:deer I wypnt bab:deer | Locator: Error: model already has a locator armor_offset.default_neck that doesn't exactly match
the one wanting to be added - skipping new definition in baby(geometry.wypnt_bab.deer.baby)

[strong tide]

Does anyone know why I'm receiving this?

I don't have any locator on my mob, especially one called "armor_offset.default_neck".

[haughty tusk]

oof, do u have any guide for that by chance?

[little cloud]

i do not. its quite simple though, if you can use rhe tnt runtime to remove movement interpolation from the renderer then spawn one for every player and keep it teleported above their heads. Then in the client-side you can set their position to -q.position(0)*16+(x*16).... but note that the z coord for model and entity space is reversed

[strong tide]

I simply renamed your bone head to any other name.

[bleak fossil]

tried adding custom animations to my custom entity with blockbench's entity wizard as base. The method i used is from this vid: https://youtu.be/5wq_mw5AzIM?si=zdFowEmxvIXqbag-

Tho it just comes out as no texture. The mob doesn't have shadow either. Idk what's going on :(( when i installed the blockbench version without changing the code, it worked perfectly fine

lemme send code

[frank carbon]

This is close. I think you must enclose the list of animations you'd like to play with an array:

"states": {
  "default": {
    "animations": [
      // Comma-separated list of animations to play while in this state
      "idle"
    ]
  }
}

Similarly within the "scripts" section of your client entity definition

And if I am not mistaken, animations cannot contain colons. Try renaming your animation to animation.artsy.moth.idle

See if those improve your results @bleak fossil

[grim mural]

how do you put idle sounds on entities? like when you're near on it

[hard orbit]

I don't think this thing is fixable. You see, entities are not blocks, and they stop rendering when you are not close to them, even if you haave large render distance.

Or you can use ender dragon entity as the base, as it has some hardcoded stuff that allows you to see it from a huge distance. A lot of servers at this point makes the title using blocks, not entities.

[bleak fossil]

thank you! i'll do just that. I'll update for when something happens

[bleak fossil]

i changed the animation and scripts list into an array and also changed the colon into a period but the mob is still invisible unfortunatelyy

[bleak fossil]

sorry or the pic i use my other device for adidng code lol

[rain egret]

can you see the texture of the spawn egg?

[bleak fossil]

nopee

[rain egret]

But can you see the shadow of your entity, right? Can you show the behavior of your entity? Also, in which directory have you put your entity client?

[heavy kernel]

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

[bleak fossil]

actually i dont eitherr :'@>

[bleak fossil]

can i send the thing instead?

[rain egret]

So you can't see your entity in the chat when you type /summon?

[bleak fossil]

oh wait lemme try that, i see its spawn egg tho it doesnt have a texture. i try to spawn it, no model or shadow

no texture like its clear and not magenta

[rain egret]

Then it's probably not detecting your entity client; there are no errors in the code, so the identifier probably doesn't match, or you haven't put the entity client in the correct folder.

[bleak fossil]

i can see it on the mob list when i do summon and it says object successfully summoned tho its still invisible w no shadow

i see, thats so weird cuz i based the code on blockbench entity wizard and added animations and controllers

[rain egret]

Can you show if the identifiers match and if the entity client is in the correct folder?

[bleak fossil]

im sorry but idk what u mean about entity client, do u mean the entity file itself?

lemme see the identifiers holdon

[rain egret]

entity client is in "rp/entity/your_entity.json"

[bleak fossil]

res and beh both have the same identifier

[bleak fossil]

and the directory is exactly that

[rain egret]

Are you sure? Did you check that it's not "Entity" with a capital letter or "entity " with a space?

[bleak fossil]

ohh lemme see

[rain egret]

so that's not the problem your error log is reporting?

[bleak fossil]

its "entity" with no space

lemme provide a bit of context, i used blockbench entity wizard to generate a file (this worked fine on its own)
and then i added animation and controllers in which the mob's texture/model vanished

i think it had something to do with the animations and animation controllers that i added

[rain egret]

Can you send the current entity client?

An animation error does not make the model invisible. it will only be invisible if the entity client has a syntax error.

[bleak fossil]

ohh i se i see

here it is

[bleak fossil]

i get confused about values and arrays so maybe that's it? my device prevents me from editing like this

so i see it more of a list than code

[rain egret]

i see

There's a syntax error, let me fix it

{
"format_version": "1.10.0",
"minecraft:client_entity": {
"description": {
"identifier": "artsy:moth",
"materials": {
"default": "entity_alphatest"
},
"textures": {
"default": "textures/entity/moth"
},
"geometry": {
"default": "geometry.moth"
},
"render_controllers": [
"controller.render.default"
],
"spawn_egg": {
"texture": "moth_spawn_egg"
},
"animations": {
"idle": "animation.moth.idle",
"controller": "controller.animation.moth"
},
"scripts": {
"animate": [
"controller"
]
}
}
}
}

[bleak fossil]

may i ask what part u fixed? so that i would spot it when i do other mobss

[bleak fossil]

okioki imma try this

[rain egret]

It should not be in [] in animations

[bleak fossil]

i see, so its not an array?

[rain egret]

nop

[bleak fossil]

it works now!!! thank you so much

i wouldnt have seen that error

all the "invisible" moths that i spawned were right there all along lol

[rain egret]

lol

[haughty tusk]

how to add a locator above player's head?

basically i want to put a locator so that the particle follows the player when emitted

[sterile iron]

Do entities mantain component groups behaviours even if the component group is not longer registered?

[wraith isle]

I don't think so

[sonic bolt]

it's override same components if entity already had one

[rain egret]

Yes, in some cases they retain certain characteristics. you must generate a new one.

For example, if you have a speed component in "component" and you change the speed in a "component group" and then modify the code by deleting that group, the entity could retain the modified speed.

[fringe dock]

Does anyone know if you can make it so that you can make a custom mount that can attack while being ridden. As in the mob does a melee attack on command when you ride it?

[bleak fossil]

Omg im sorry to be back so soon but i've been having trouble with the interaction component with my moth mob again, I have this code that's suppoused to work like when a sheep gets sheered but the button is not showing up and idk why. I pasted the same minecraft:interact code to another modded mob with variants and the "shear" button showed up. I even put the same code to the moth mob before i added variants and it worked. Idk why it doesn't specifically work on the mob that im working on right now :/ (also im sorry for asking so much help aaa). for additional context, i put the interact component inside a variant component group. I didn't have trouble with this before

Here's the code:

oh wait its too long hold on

"minecraft:interact": {
"interactions": [
{
"use_item": false,
"swing": true,
"hurt_item": 1,
"spawn_items": {
"table": "loot_tables/entities/moth_pinkyellow_shear.json"
},
"play_sounds": "shear",
"interact_text": "action.interact.shear",
"on_interact": {
"filters": {
"all_of": [
{
"test": "has_equipment",
"subject": "other",
"domain": "hand",
"value": "minecraft:shears"
},
{
"test": "is_family",
"subject": "other",
"value": "player"
}
]
},
"event": "artsy:pinkyellow_sheared",
"target": "self"
}
}
]
}

i deleted some things so if there's missing brackets, it's probably on me. I use an app that shows the code as lists (json genie if yall know it)

[void scarab]

Do you know how I can make projectiles with scalable damage without using scripts?

[sterile iron]

Do You know a quick fix for the player entity? Killing it does not remove the retained data

For now i fixed it creating a new world

[rain egret]

just add a new component group to get it back to normal, and then delete the group

[frank cipher]

Finally figured this out, having a "0.05" probability was somehow affecting the amount of time it looked at the player within the "look_at_player" component. Just upped it to 0.5 and that fixed it.

[glossy yew]

Maybe the probability is evaluated on every tick? 🤷‍♂️

[bleak fossil]

Art's Moth Update Blong #3

I'm gonna make this like a blog cuz it's what makes me sane ❤️

Remember this? i did some dilly dallying the code actually WORKS. the problem is that something inside the variations code aren't accurate to how they're rendered for some reason?? I would have a moth that's all white but it'll show up as a brown moth but i wouldnt know because I don't see the values in game. I noticed this when the "shear" button is popping up when i interact with one of the variants even though it wasn't the variant that i implemented the interaction on.

Now I'm trying to figure out why the variants are all jumbled up. it's so weird because I did this before with other mobs successfully but now it's all over the place D:

[bleak fossil]

wait lemme picture it so it's clearer

[bleak fossil]

UPDATE I FIXED IT it turns out i need the variants to be in order in render controllers OOOOPS

[bleak fossil]

yaaaaaay

[obsidian pier]

That's cute and some nice concept also

[bleak fossil]

thank u :DD

[bleak fossil]

Art's Moth Update Blong #4

HELLO ADDON MAKERS MORE ON MY MOTH ❤️

I added silkworms!!! Tho they have this weird animation jitter after they "walk". i tried blend transitions but that somehow makes it worse now im trying to figure out how to fix that.

Anyways, WORMS

should i make a channel or something bahashdskul

it literally went to the fridge after a spawned it 💔 #BigFatBUH

[wanton venture]

What is rarity on spawn rules?

Armadillo file

[wanton venture]

https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/minecraft-creator/issues/976

[bleak fossil]

trying to integrate my separate silkworm and moth entities into one mob but different states and it's killing me 😔 it shows up invisible again FAAAAAAAAAH

[bleak fossil]

is there a way to transform a mob into another mob but it has a specific variant? i tried adding components like with what the bedrock dev said about minecraft:transformation but it doesnt work :/

[rain egret]

You need to transform it by adding the event to the component

[bleak fossil]

i think my problem is more on render controllers or animation controllers i think

tho rn i just converted back to my separate silkworm/moth route although thats making me have problems too because the minecraft:transformation component isnt adding component groups to the transformed moth even tho minecraft dev explicitly said that its possible

cuz im tryna mimic this system

and here's what im tryna learn:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_transformation?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

in this instace, there's a shadow but no geometry

[rain egret]

And behavior?

[bleak fossil]

it has behavior, i can even interact with it with shears

[bleak fossil]

and it also moves

or like do u mean u wanna see the behavior file too lol

[rain egret]

Yes, we need to make sure you're applying the variables correctly.

[bleak fossil]

oh no its a bit too long

i might send the file instead :"))

[obsidian pier]

The only main problem here is in render controllers. You didn't add the array both sides in the "textures": part in there

Which is the reason why your entity looks invisible but has collision box in it

[bleak fossil]

ohh? so i need it to be an array is wht ur saying?

[obsidian pier]

It should be like this js "textures": [ "query.is_baby ? Array.baby[query.variant] : Array.shade[query.variant]" ] not this js "textures": "query.is_baby ? Array.baby[query.variant] : Array.shade[query.variant]"

[bleak fossil]

im tryna shrink the behavior file im just taking some default bee stuff lol

[bleak fossil]

okii ill try that

[rain egret]

Yes, I hadn't noticed.

[bleak fossil]

is the same applied to geometry or nahh

[obsidian pier]

It does not need array

[bleak fossil]

okii

oki update: the moths show up!! but im not seeing any silkworms yet so im adjusting spawn chance for now

[obsidian pier]

Great, just tell me if there's something off about your entity

[bleak fossil]

THANK YALL IT SHOWS UP NOW @obsidian pier @rain egret

THhere's a problem with the baby animation but ill think about that tomorrow

thysmmm

[obsidian pier]

Your welcome

[bleak fossil]

Art's Moth Update Blong #5

we are one step closer to finishing my moth mob then i can move onto butterflies for my lepidoptera addon I'M SO HAPPY THANK YALL FOR UR HELP ❤️

[nimble bramble]

For some reason, my entity won't display that it is holding bows, crossbows, spears, shields, basically anything that has some special holding animation. Swords, sticks, blocks, etc. all render fine. My entity has both the rightItem and leftItem bones in its geometry. Anyone know what's up?

[iron swift]

Hi, is there a way to combine molang and filter in entity.json
Like this?

{
    "filters": {
        "all_of": [
            {
                "test": "is_family",
                "subject": "other",
                "value": "undead && q.is_on_fire"
            }
        ]
    },
    "max_dist": 16
}

Wait I see this

[wraith isle]

You can’t use molang but you can use the on_fire test yeah

[fringe coyote]

Did you add "enable_attachables": true on your RP entity json?

[golden sand]

how can i make a projectile do override damage? (the one that bypasses resistance)

[rocky shadow]

how do yall make entity sounds?

[golden sand]

using sounds.json on a resource pack

[rocky shadow]

Thats not how you make sounds lol

[obsidian pier]

You just have to create

[surreal arch]

Is it possible to make an entity find whatever block it is currently on and morph its texture into that?

[formal veldt]

it was probably interpreted as defining sound

[fringe coyote]

idk, maybe use a mic on the real deal and convert the recording to the respective sound file?

[golden sand]

oh i was sleepy and didnt read correctly lmao

[bleak moat]

anyone know how to make "Minecraft:dash_action" work when in the air (its the camel dash)

[warped kite]

makes it more rare ig

[azure echo]

how do i make it so an entity that is behind me does NOT derender? its a large entity so i should be seeing it even if im not facing its center

[worthy hinge]

Is there documentation or a tutorial on what is possible with the player.json?

[obsidian pier]

You can modify it like health and other stats

So it is possible for that

[obsidian pier]

For a Bedrock entity, the thing to adjust is the geometry visibility bounding box: visible_bounds_width, visible_bounds_height, and visible_bounds_offset. So, for a huge entity, I think making those bounds larger than the actual model, and center the offset over the model instead.

[azure echo]

Thank you! Is this measured in blocks, pixels, etc.? Like if I do a width of 100 and height of 100 is that 100 blocks?

and when you say center the offset, I would do [ 0, 0, 0 ] ?

[glacial summit]

I ported my add-on from preview over to stable and started getting errors like this related to "q.item_slot_to_bone_name"

not too sure what caused it, add-on works perfectly fine on preview and I don't see any changes to the files from preview to stable in recent updates

All items that don't have 3D models are invisible

[fringe coyote]

What's the error? Is it just silence one but it doesn't work?

[obsidian pier]

Not necessarily you need to center at the root origin you can just adjust the y axis if you want but keep it center aligned

[fringe coyote]

writing the bone name 'rightItem' directly kinda works

[obsidian pier]

Yes, they can be measured in blocks but not in pixels it’s more like a radius/extent used for culling

[glacial summit]

idek where the error is located though, it doesn't happen on preview and I looked at my github to see what changes I made since it was working on stable last week, but I made no changes to the player afaik.

player model still has the bone name as "rightItem"

[broken kiln]

Quick question, if lets say I've made a health component, inside the components, it became a default right?

So if i were to change it using component groups, when that got removed using events or something, it'll automatically goes back to the default

Am i right?

[fringe coyote]

https://tryitands.ee/

[broken kiln]

Fair enough

[covert sphinx]

is on_kill still broken

💔

[glacial summit]

So this error has nothing to do my add-on. The game itself-or I should say skin I'm using is completely broken. Switching to a different skin makes items reappear.

[nova robin]

is it possible to give a custom mob the regeneration effect given by a beacon?

[covert sphinx]

yes but it'll take a few workarounds to achieve

[tranquil schooner]

Hello, i'm looking for a way to code an entity that attacks like this way but i cannot find anything. i mean. something that allows the ranged mobs move while shooting instead of stay static in one place like the skeletons.

[tidal sonnet]

Did they change something about jump.static? I was updating an entity in my pack that uses it and now it's not working (just the behavior of going up blocks), I didn't even touch the component

Nevermind, somebody helped me out. If anybody has the same issue, apparently you need to use "minecraft:variable_max_auto_step": {} instead

[glacial summit]

Do entities holding a projectile weapon with the power enchantment not deal more damage? I swear they did

It doesn't seem like power multiplier does anything either

[nova robin]

This is probably a simple dumb question so I don't wanna give it its own thing. I was trying to use the dev tool but it keeps breaking lol.
Essentially I have a mob I made in the blockbench entity wizard who's behavior is based on a parrot. If I want to keep everything about it, except allow it to attack those who attack it , how would I add it to the json file?

[golden sand]

how can i make a loot table drop a item guaranteed?

[glacial summit]

u just give it it's own pool where it is the only entry

[golden sand]

ok

[vital badge]

Is it possible to create an entity that only moves on top of a specific block? I want it to ignore the other blocks.

[charred cargo]

I don't think there are any components for it, but you can use a component group to control movement and use a runInterval in scripts to detect the block directly beneath the entity

[formal veldt]

there's the preferred path component

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

[vital badge]

Oops, I took a look but when I translated it, it got confusing. How exactly do the "default_block_cost" and "jump_cost" fields work?

[wraith isle]

cost in both fields is a number where the higher it is the less likely the block will be picked for the path. 1 is more likely to be pathed on then 100 is to my understanding of it.

[vital badge]

I want the entity to always move within a block, would that be 1?

[wraith isle]

I think so yeah

[charred cargo]

Damn, news to me

[verbal tundra]

just a quick question, what is the entity equivalent of "getBlock()"

[formal veldt]

dimension.getEntities()

[verbal tundra]

ah its a dimension method thats why i didnt find it

was lookin in the wrongg place

idk why i expected it to be different, cuz thats where getblock is too

🤷‍♂️

[formal veldt]

well, there's world.getEntity

you need it's unique id though

[formal veldt]

there's also this method
https://stirante.com/script/server/2.6.0/classes/Dimension.html#getentitiesatblocklocation

[verbal tundra]

oooh thats probably what i want

[formal veldt]

yeah, thought so

btw there's a channel specifically for scripting
#1067535382285135923

[verbal tundra]

ok so this actually just gets all of the entities in the dimension?

[formal veldt]

yes

[verbal tundra]

ah yea that probably would have been a better place to ask :P

o well

[formal veldt]

I mean it has to do with entities lol

[verbal tundra]

yea

its on topic and i got my answer soooo

[verbal tundra]

how does this one work tho

[formal veldt]

it requires you to provide the unique id for the entity you are searching for

[verbal tundra]

and what does it return

[formal veldt]

the entity with that unique id

lol

[verbal tundra]

just one of them? or

[golden sand]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1390374974912594072/1418266499998679080/togif_1.gif

[formal veldt]

yeah, it's Entity, not Entities

[verbal tundra]

or by unique id do you mean like each entity in the world has its own id? even if its the same type?

[formal veldt]

also even if it did, entities cant have the same unique id, that's what makes it unique

[verbal tundra]

yah okay

ye at block location definitely what I'm looking for then

[formal veldt]

doeasnt matter the type, its just a unique number given to the entity when it initializes

[verbal tundra]

yeah i figured that if it is unique to each entity its probably unrelated to the type

[formal veldt]

you can get an entity's unique id by doing entity.id

[verbal tundra]

but just making sure :P

ahhhhh phone typing

alr anyways

[quiet river]

a question

If you noticed, in first-person cubecraft only what the player sees is rendered and when they turn they just load those entities, how would you achieve that?

[storm forum]

can I completely disable interpolation on an entity?

[golden sand]

does anyone have this error with your entities?
When your entity kills another entity BUT the victim transforms into another entity on death (like a corpse) your entity simply freezes

[golden sand]

like this (im using SCPDT 1.9.0 for the guards)

[fast kraken]

How can I make it so my entity targets a player if they are in a 3 blocks distance and not sneaking? I tried like this but it keeps forgetting the player if they get outside the 3 blocks range

      "minecraft:follow_range": {
        "value": 32,
        "max": 32
      },
      "minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target": {
        "priority": 2,
        "persist_time": 20,
        "set_persistent": true,

        "entity_types": [
          {
            "filters": {
              "all_of": [
                { "test": "is_family", "subject": "other", "value": "player" },
                { "test": "is_sneaking", "subject": "other", "operator": "!=" }
              ]
            },
            "max_dist": 3
          }
        ]
      }

[covert sphinx]

no but i think the problem is within the entity itself

[golden sand]

probably, but it only happens when my entity kills a entity thst transforms on death

and i never found the reason why this happens

[covert sphinx]

mind if you send the json here? I'd like to take a look

[golden sand]

sure

[covert sphinx]

alr

[covert sphinx]

i think now i know why.

delayed attack and melee attack shouldn't be used in the same time by the mob

so try making your mob only use one of the components, depends on which type suits it the most.

[golden sand]

sure

[covert sphinx]

update me if it works lol

[golden sand]

imma test it rn

[golden sand]

it worked 🥹 tysm

[covert sphinx]

np

[mint gyro]

Smth related yes but not exact issue

My entity jus stops attackint entirely

Its a boss mob and i always put boss mobs against a warden to check

And make my friends fight it to check its AI

But my mob jus stops attacking and doesnt move either

Jus stays

[golden sand]

i see

[indigo ether]

hi

is it possible to make snowball runtime entities not despawn when an explosion occours next to them?

[kind charm]

Do you need to use snowball runtime?

[indigo ether]

if i dont use it the physics dont seem to be the same

when thrown it flies then drops abruptly

[kind charm]

Can you wait for the Custom Projectile experiment?

[indigo ether]

whats that :0

does it fix this issue?

[kind charm]

Yes

[indigo ether]

worth waiting then

[winter condor]

Y'all, im gonna ask for help again for numerous time if anybody will be willing to help me for my problems about this animations and animation controller since I've been stuck for 3 weeks already here so here's my screenshots of my bridge codes

I'll be thankful for any kind souls out here to help me for my problems 🤞

[untold viper]

Can we make an entity that doesn't block light with vibrant visuals enabled?

[covert sphinx]

what are the problems?

[winter condor]

I can't get a resource animation controller

[covert sphinx]

oh

[winter condor]

Its always this red movie clipper thingy when i creating a file in bridge

I just realized it last night

[covert sphinx]

i think you gotta type the right directory manually

RP/animation_controllers

when you open the file

and save it in your project

[covert sphinx]

that red icon stands for the animation controllers for behavior packs

lol

the one from the resource pack should be blue

[winter condor]

Is this the one that i should put it the RP?, im minda confused since its my first time making my own addon

[covert sphinx]

nope

just open the file you already made

and import it with a new name

then change the directory manually

-# it sucks i cant show how its done since bridge is kinda slow in my device for no obvious reasons

[winter condor]

Do i have to change the bame with a animation controller?, since its already in my animation controller folder

[covert sphinx]

wdym

[winter condor]

Im kinda confused on what to rename it

[winter condor]

I have my animation controller in the RP/animation_controllers folder but still have that red movie clipper thing when i opened the file

[winter condor]

The movie clipper thingy or icon still red even when i put into the resources/animation_controller, i don't know if i did it correctly

[solemn notch]

Does anyone have a player client that doesn't have errors?

[bleak moat]

does anyone know how to make a grabbing mechanic ? i was assuming it'd be done using forced riding but i couldnt get it working that way

anyone know if its possible to detect if a mob or player is in seat 1 or seat 2 when riding an entity with multiple seats?

[formal veldt]

in scripts, you can get the rideable component and use the getRiders method, which should return an array of riders in order of the seats

[strong tide]

Why can't I open my mob's inventory?

[restive jasper]

Does someone know why my entity stops holding here crossbow back when i add "minecraft:drink_potion" behaviour, is there any fix using js and events , or something i did wrong in the behaviour file ?

[covert sphinx]

because witches don't have weapons

so you'll have to find a way to make your mob hold a crossbow again after she drinks potions.

[restive jasper]

hùù ok

thx

[kind charm]

I'm guessing xp_orb giving players xp is hardcoded?

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/runtime-identifier#minecraft-xp-orb Drats. No way to configure.

                "inventory_size": 45
              },

is the entity container limited to 27? i kept trying with 36/45/54 but still shows 27 slots

[mint gyro]

Probaly yea

[haughty tusk]

also

[mint gyro]

Unless u use the large chest ui via modification

[haughty tusk]

what causes this to happen

[mint gyro]

Im guesing no hardcoded hud for it

[haughty tusk]

it sinks the npc when water hits

[mint gyro]

Its only 27 and 27x2( large chests )

[mint gyro]

Otherwise u can try to use a chest hud editor

[haughty tusk]

icic

[mint gyro]

And link it with a name

Which shuf be thr name of the mob

It works

[haughty tusk]

ight thanks

[mint gyro]

Use the chest ui editor in the dev resource

It helps a lot

[haughty tusk]

heres the component for this one

Ill try to check after i go home

Currently at schl-

[haughty tusk]

thanks

[restive jasper]

guys where can i find the correct potions AUX_VAls

[glacial summit]

Does anyone actually know what "version" in "minecraft:experience_reward" is for?

[golden sand]

how can i make my entity ignore falls?

[vital badge]

new component projetil has bug using component "minecraft:spawn_entity"?

[trim crater]

"Unknown" in inventories

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

May 6, 2026, 12:02 AM

[haughty tusk]

i tried this one but seems like it shows up as a name tag

[covert sphinx]

wdym by that

[golden sand]

like if my entity is pathfinding, they will avoid holes

[covert sphinx]

no idea

but isn't that supposed to be natural

[sonic bolt]

How do we dye entity like sheep, cats or wolfs collar??

[sonic bolt]

Okay I found the way

Just make sure your render controller using enyity_alpha_color_change material

For the part that you want to make it dyeable

[golden sand]

yeah but for some reason my entities dont avoid holes

[covert sphinx]

well that's pretty strange

[proven sluice]

Do you guys know if there's a particular reason of why an entity stops making an attack when the rideable and player navigation components get added (but not when riding)

I'm coding a drake and at the moment i equip it my saddle, it stops attacking, keeps following the targets but never attacks, then if i remove the saddle, it works again :/

[mint gyro]

Is there a way to leave after images of an entity guys? Like a non opaque shadow or smth like tht

Or give the boss mob an aura ( like how wither at hp < 50% has the blue shield thingy )

[glacial summit]

Anyone know how to get behavior.move_to_block to actually get the entity to move to the block? The only success I've had is making the entity collision box smaller than the goal radius

[sonic bolt]

I'm never has problem before. except if goal radius is too small. entity will spinning around block. What I do is on goal reach I'm remove the move to block components

[vale mantle]

Spawn the after-image before the movement

[mint gyro]

Whaaa

So i hav to make another mob righr?

[vale mantle]

Either make new translucent, no ai mob orrr do particle magic.
Before your actual tp command/spreadplayets command, do the summon/particle and then run your movement

Might be better ways yo do this but this is how I do it

[night kraken]

For the future, make sure your entity has the physics component

[mint gyro]

Owhhhh

Okssss

[wanton venture]

How can I make an entity change of color like tint?

[formal veldt]

there's a color field in render controllers

i think you need a material that supports it though

[glacial summit]

Yeah it's weird it stops just before it then does nothing

[glacial summit]

Fixed it, it does involve the collision box preventing the entity from reaching it's goal.

I got it around this by removing the collision box and using "minecraft:custom_hit_test"

[spare peak]

So I'm new to render controllers and I'm trying to use a scoreboard to make my model appear but I know that can only be used in behavior so I put the scoreboard as the value for the property and now minecraft is saying it has no actor can I get some help please

[fringe coyote]

you gotta put "client_sync": true so the RP can read it.

{
          "type": "float",
          "client_sync": true,
          "default": 0.0
}

[spring root]

that newish feature of entities going translucent/transparent as the player camera gets close to the screen, can it be disabled for custom entities? so they can get really close to it and read something on it without it fading away

[spare peak]

Should it be a float or should it be an interger?

[fringe coyote]

that's a copy from my property, change it as you fit

[charred cargo]

Nope, there is a toggle in settings that turns it off, but that's about it

[spare peak]

Now it's saying that my "query.has_property" has no actor

[fringe coyote]

is it a player? Maybe you have paperdoll on, it often throw that error, if so... just filter it with !query.is_in_ui

[formal veldt]

there's also v.is_paperdoll

[fringe coyote]

Then what's the query for? Other entities?

[formal veldt]

ive seen it used combined with that query

thats all

thought I would mention it

[knotty gazelle]

Is there a way to make riding position follow a locator or bone in animation?

I am trying to make riding feel more natural for my entity

[spare peak]

So I'm guessing I just put that in the RP version of the player where the render controller is

[glacial summit]

what do people use to determine when an attack animation fires on a mob? I thought it was query.attack_time >= 0 but that only makes it fire once then never again

[covert sphinx]

v.attack_time.

if you want it to detect when it stops attacking use !v.attack_time

that's how i use it ever since anyway

[glacial summit]

oops, I meant v.attack_time not query. json "attack": "variable.attack_time > 0.0" I figured this would work but it seems to just fire once and then it gets stuck in the final state. I wouldn't think it would need the !v.attack_time to reset the animation

[covert sphinx]

yea i thought about the same thing back then but i figured that setting it to 0.0 doesn't do it.

so i tried using !v.attack_time and it works well

[glacial summit]

oh I understand how it works, I'm just saying it doesn't make sense that you need to transition it back when it's only animated when v.attack_time > 0.0

When they stop attacking, attack time should go back to 0 by itself

[covert sphinx]

hmmmmm yea

although i still suspect that it can also use the same logic that molang queries use

[strong tide]

Is it possible to configure a helmet on a mob without adding the head field to the geometry? For example, using animation?

[fringe coyote]

iirc, the helmet attachable would mostly default to the root bone.
If you do this... well, you gotta animate the root, and try to counter-animate against the root's animation on other bones if your entity want to stay normal

[sonic bolt]

use minecraft:behavior.mount_pathing. It make mounted mob keep move around and do its own behavior while mounting. you you need to proper set priority

Idk does he still need it lol

[strong tide]

I tried, but it didn't work, so I opted to disable helmet use.

[long sundial]

I know this is a very broad question so sorry, but what would be the best way to do the path finding for a long range missile style entity, and what would it look like, I've been stuck on trying to get a good way to do this for a good while TwT

[proven sluice]

i added the component but didn't work :((

even if the priority is 1

[sonic bolt]

I think it's ony work if it's not in control. so might have to remove the mount contol components

[sonic bolt]

Im suggest that you make a switching mode for it

[proven sluice]

then i gotta make an animation controller to make it switch between modes right??

or environment sensors might work?

[sonic bolt]

It's tricky

more lke button for switching mode

because you can detect when play press key and mount -> add moutn control componet

not pressing anything made mount go into pathing mode

but it's awkward

[fast kraken]

Does anybody know why my entity with minecraft:avoid_mob_type only tries to get away from the player for about 3 seconds and then stops?

[covert sphinx]

how much is the max_dist?

if its very high the mob only flees once and there's like a cooldown

[fast kraken]

It was 10, but that's not it

If I ran behind the entity and never getting out of range, it eventually would stop running

[covert sphinx]

try 6

[charred cargo]

I'm making a projectile that I want to freeze in midair after a certain amount if time
I was thinking I would add the projectile component through a component group and then I would use a timer to remove the component and give the entity no gravity to keep it stuck in that position. I don't see anything wrong with this, but I'm open to suggestions
Does anyone have alternative suggestions for anything that could work better?

[strange sentinel]

I don't think adding/removing component group is enough to stop it

But have you tried it

[charred cargo]

Haven't, but if it doesn't then there's always an event that runs a scriptevent to clearVelocity

[vital badge]

[glacial summit]

Does anyone know how to get the move_to_block behavior to reliably actaully move the entity to a block?

I put my mob 3 blocks away from the target and it proceeded to run in the opposite direction and still won't find it

[kind charm]

Is it a custom block?

[glacial summit]

Yes

If I have it in an isolated area it will path to it properly

But inside of an actual cave the behavior just becomes a mess

[kind charm]

Ah, nvm then. I havent issues with it unless the block had a block item.

[gentle remnant]

guys i have a problem when i set the equipment for player it only render the spear or any item that have attachble but the normal item is not

here is the model file that i used

[fading shadow]

is there any way to make a mob unable to pathfind over a specific block?

[glacial summit]

I think I've figured it out. the "target_blocks" field of the behavior is terribly inefficient. The more blocks near the entity, and the larger the target list is, the longer it will take. So it's technically still triggering, it's just taking forever to search for the block. Not really sure if there's a solution for this which kind of sucks. Destroys the entire concept for the mob.

[kind charm]

Does rearranging it in order of priority suffice?

[glacial summit]

I had it as the only behavior for one of my tests

It's actually crazy how slow it is

First one is with the list unchanged, I'm not recording the whole thing but it will take over 30 seconds and up to a minute before it finds a block

I think I can actually fix this by using a timer to check the entities dimension and height, then giving it different component groups with different move_to_block behaviors based on that. That's pretty much the only thing I can think of

would be nice if this behaviour just accepted a "tag"

[kind charm]

Does it not?

[glacial summit]

looking at it right now, would it actually still go in the "target_blocks" field?

[kind charm]

Would it not just be

target_blocks:[
{
"tag":"q.blah"
}]

[glacial summit]

are you sure that's actually valid for behaviors?

"minecraft:behavior.move_to_block": {

[kind charm]

Maybe not then? I know one of the recent behaviours got support for using tags but it used a different syntax.

[glacial summit]

blockception seems to think it's valid but undocumented

``` For sulfur cubes yeah.

[glacial summit]

but blockception thinks a lot of things

maybe it's format version restricted?

[kind charm]

Blockception might not be updated?

[glacial summit]

Tried in 26.30, same thing, I guess this change was only made to the tempt behavior

[glacial summit]

okay this is beyond terrible, even with just 10 entries it stalls

rip my entity

[spice lodge]

Not sure if this is the right place but has anyone else had the issue with blockbench entity wizard causing horses, donkeys and mules to use their old spawn egg and baby models? For some reason any pack I make has this issue

[cobalt violet]

Is it not possible to put loot tables on baby animals at all

[kind charm]

Its possible. Just make sure the loot table is in the base components or your specific baby component group.

[cobalt violet]

Is there something I’m doing wrong it only works for the adults

@kind charm

[trim crater]

Please, no screenshots or photos!

Screenshots are hard to read, and photos even more so. This is especially true if you are using bridge or another tree editor, as this format obscures the JSON format.

We can help you best if you copy and paste your code here, or send it directly as a file.

[cobalt violet]

the adult works fine the other two dont just for loot tables everything else works

[kind charm]

And you're adding the baby component group via events yes? Are you accidentally adding the adult one at the same time too?

[cobalt violet]

[cobalt violet]

so apparently if it has minecraft:ageable it does not work unless someone can figure out how to get loot tables to work with it

[drowsy swift]

what should i use to make the entity immune to /kill?

health -> min:1 instantly kills the entity, cant even spawn it

[ebon arrow]

Yo! Is there a vscode extension that have auto completions for any json files like items, blocks, ect.

Like bridge

But I don’t want to use that

[wraith isle]

the "cooldown_time" field in the behavior.send_event component seems to be bugged

anyone else noticed that?

[covert sphinx]

no

[covert sphinx]

https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer/335e8090-8e1d-42c7-87e9-dd0a29df7428#google_vignette

try using this

[ebon arrow]

What does that do?

[covert sphinx]

it auto completes the codes

i think

[ebon arrow]

At this point you can check the wiki 😅

Autocompletion like bridge in vscode would be the best for me but unfortunately, there’s none

[covert sphinx]

yea sadly theres no plugin to add it

[languid cedar]

Is there docs to make animations for walk, idle, jump, attack and head rotating to where it is looking instead of whole body

[wise pine]

Did mojang (mammerla?) fogot to change this value? This makes the game can't read any changes I make

[golden sand]

ye

[vale mantle]

Entities have min version too??

[covert sphinx]

only in the entity

rp

[vale mantle]

Right

[bronze comet]

what the F

[vale mantle]

Lmao

[scarlet current]

Any ways to make an entity drop all its gear ? and should be able to be triggered using an event

[undone axle]

Is it possible to have spawn rules obey a world property as 1 of its spawn conditions?
Eg. Only spawn this enemy if world.property(level) > 1

The instant despawn method just seems like it would waste a bunch of spawn attempts and result in less overall mobs

[boreal wyvern]

wow so smooth

[royal olive]

Dosen’t work

      "minecraft:spell_effects": {
        "add_effects": [
          {
            "visible": false,

            "duration": "1"
          }
        ]
      },

[kind charm]

Duration is a number not a string

[golden sand]

how can i make the nether roof buildable

?

[wraith isle]

I don’t think you can nor is this the channel to ask that

[golden sand]

yeah i was kinda tripping when i wrote that
