1.20.40.21 - Preview

[quaint knot]

It's so beautiful 😭

Haven't had shaders in so long, I truly miss them

[pallid lion]

he’s offline

also i found out who he is

[woeful warren]

So you're just, not gonna say it?..

[pallid lion]

@tall spindle hello! :)

[shadow stream]

We said who it was a little over a week ago

[pallid lion]

wait what

[shadow stream]

#1019692489596215388 message

you even confirmed preview lol

[pallid lion]

i’m late apparently

[pallid lion]

i still don’t know how lmao

[calm violet]

How did I not notice that conversation.

[tall spindle]

Hi, nice to meet you! 🙂

[jolly mason]

does this look good

[scarlet sable]

hey, why do you lurk in this discord and then post stuff from here on your twitter account lol

[jolly mason]

there is some thing wrong with this wall

[arctic forge]

Does this rectangle move with the camera?

[jolly mason]

nope

it's a painting bug in deferred

[arctic forge]

Oh ok

[jolly mason]

where the paintings are invisible

[pallid lion]

Nice to meet you too! :D

[quaint knot]

Will Mojang ever fix the /fill command with portals?

It used to work just fine but after I think was the 1.19 or 1.20 update the portals now break everytime you try to fill them in.

Just thought it was weird that this used to be a working feature and is now broken.

[jolly mason]

so cute

[delicate nymph]

No biome fix, no stable armors for marketplace maps

😭

[jolly mason]

What does plausible mean in this situation

[gentle lantern]

I would think it means it's been looked over by a mod/helper but they haven't been able to reproduce it yet

[mental dune]

really cool stuff! is it playable? or does it just "spoof" the existence of a realm?

[pallid lion]

it doesn’t spoof the existence of a realm, it’s playable

also that one that’s in the worlds tab connects me to the hive

[mental dune]

meaning you can make it connect to your own server, hosted without the restrictions of realms

[pallid lion]

correct

[mental dune]

that is awesome

but you mentioned something about modifying the hosts file, meaning it's not so user friendly is it?

[pallid lion]

it’s not lol

[mental dune]

oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i don't know why i was hoping for it to work by default 😅

[pallid lion]

it’s alright

[prime hatch]

its working ?

[jolly mason]

it seems to be yss not offical

[prime hatch]

damn

[jolly mason]

official fix is coming soon

[pallid lion]

iirc should be coming in the next preview?

[jolly mason]

not quite sure as they are also fixing the render dragon engine

But it will be coming in 40.XX versions

[arctic forge]

Yeah we were promised that first mali and PowerVR fixes should arrive in the next preview

[quaint knot]

no, i'm using the YSS Shader Fix that Smasher mentioned..

[fervent zodiac]

honestly, why PowerVR

I mean like, that's one was for low-end devices. can't be guaranteed if it'll run on deferred

[glad saffron]

how will you start an item event if they remove the on_use? like shoot projectile?

[green quartz]

Scripting

[glad saffron]

ye but trying it on script is not triggering the event
const item = event.itemStack;
item.triggerEvent('awp:throw_item');

[scarlet sable]

what lol

[green quartz]

That doesn't look like the right syntax 🤔

[glad saffron]

but this is the same way I do to execute entities events, unless for items is different, anyway I opened a thread on API just in case

looks like item.triggerEvent is broken at least that was the answer from Remember M9 on the thread, so I guess before the preview will come out to beta the triggerEvent will be fixed, right? otherwise it will just broke a lot of custom items that uses on_use + events

[faint vector]

its versioned, just dont use format_version 1.20.40

[calm violet]

Their goal is to completely remove item events from the Json. Instead, you should be using scripts.

[glad saffron]

I m also curious to see how will it look like in API, projectile events carry the owner of the projectile information, if you simple spawn the projectile using API I guess it wont carry the owner, or at least, on my tests I was not able to track the source that fired the projectile, so if you want to do something more complex I have no idea how to do it without the events from the item itself

[hard bay]

Well, as long they don't remove item events themselves there's no problem

[tribal pike]

I was finally considering to learn to make custom items, but after reading everything in this thread so far, it's sounds like I'll have to learn an entirely new language just to do basic things. I don't even know where to go to learn to script.

[tawny topaz]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scriptingintroduction

[cyan raven]

is run_command in entity json going to be depracate?

[tawny topaz]

that is the current plan we've communicated.

[cyan raven]

well shoot.

why is that happening and what is the alternative for people who use json only and dont wanna go to script

animation controller maybe?

[terse geode]

Suffer

[tawny topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-homer-disappears-bush-hiding-gif-3377649

[terse geode]

Jokes aside, BP AC is the other alternative that people have been using for a while

[nova olive]

BP AC my beloved

[cyan raven]

ok, i'll try to learn that

[faint vector]

incompatibility

[cyan raven]

but I dont like this trend of killing off features and forcing other alternatives

[terse geode]

And run_command isn't?

[cyan raven]

makes bedrock development volatile

[faint vector]

no, run_command in items is compatible with other addons

[shadow stream]

It is what it is

[terse geode]

We're talking about entities

[tawny topaz]

We don't like it either. Which is why we don't take these decisions lightly. Even when we change experimental features like runcommand

[terse geode]

-_-

[cyan raven]

true

[faint vector]

is compatible too (not for player)

[terse geode]

-_- what?

[tawny topaz]

But your development experience will be the most volatile if you use experimental features, and much less volatile if you only use stable ones.

[cyan raven]

maybe so

[faint vector]

if I use a custom entity with run_command it works with other custom entities with run_command from another addon

[cyan raven]

i need to see how to move my thing to animation controller from run_command event

[terse geode]

🙂 Fortunately, you and your team have learned from HCF seeing Scripting and Camera being in experimental for a short amount

[terse geode]

How?

[tawny topaz]

We're trying to get better!

[faint vector]

we are talking about run_command on entity events right?

[cyan raven]

thats what we are talking about yes

[terse geode]

Very grateful for that, I cant fathom scripting being experimental for 3 years

[cyan raven]

for some reason its being remove, maybe I hear that its buggy on clients or something

[tawny topaz]

It started behind experimental 2.5 years ago 🙂 And it only took 1.5 years to start getting stable APIs. 😛

[faint vector]

well, its compatible with any addon xd

[cyan raven]

Mojang say mojang do

[faint vector]

I have mobs with more than 5k code lines using run_command

[cyan raven]

idk my friend

[faint vector]

deleting run_command it hurts a lot

[shadow stream]

It is what it is

[cyan raven]

i know how u feel

[terse geode]

Just programatically remove them

[faint vector]

wdym?

[cyan raven]

do it now early on before they are gone gone

[alpine pebble]

Why u have to delete run command

what just happened

[cyan raven]

they want everyone to use AC, its the new world order

lol

[faint vector]

I though was item run_command, but its entity run_command

._.

[nova olive]

tbf, ACs are pretty performant

[cyan raven]

true, but kinda complex for noobs

[shadow stream]

the next evolutionary step after AC's is scripting though

[alpine pebble]

they removed run command from entities?

[faint vector]

it isnt

[faint vector]

its on mojang plans

[cyan raven]

i don't know how to trigger ac from event firing

[tawny topaz]

anyway - run_command is still behind experimental. we have no plans to bring it out of experimental, so at some point it will be deprecated. but I'll try to give ya'll a heads up before that happens.

[alpine pebble]

how much do we need to pay for that not to happen

[faint vector]

the problem now is the time to execute commands now, imagine doing a AC from every time you need to execute a command

painful

[cyan raven]

i know lol

its like how they murdered the way items bigger than 16x16 are added to the game

[terse geode]

1 sec before the preview releases

[faint vector]

In that case, I would prefer to leave it as is.

[terse geode]

Use scripting

[alpine pebble]

ill prepare Kayla a cielito lindo every single day for a year if mojang dont get rid of run command

[woeful warren]

Experimentals will have to go at some point

You can't just leave it there

[tawny topaz]

come on... I've been doing better with item component informs

[terse geode]

Looks at bundles experiment in Java

[woeful warren]

conditional_list 👀

[shadow stream]

What exactly is going to happen with /scriptEvent with run_command being deprecated from everything? Is it meant to just be used for troubleshooting?

[cyan raven]

its true, but if something has been in the game for so long, when is it not considered just a normal feature and not "experimental"

[terse geode]

True

[woeful warren]

scriptevent is still useful

[daring sinew]

just wondering, is there a way that we can use entities to trigger a scriptevent command without run_command

[woeful warren]

It doesn't depend on run_command

[shadow stream]

you don't need run_command to use /scriptEvent?

[alpine pebble]

animation controllers

[woeful warren]

you could probably look at the entity's property

[faint vector]

thats not the solution

[tawny topaz]

I could just deprecate it today then 🙂 That way you don't get more used to it 🙂

[shadow stream]

not what I'm talking about, that's a given

[cyan raven]

odd response

[terse geode]

It is A solution 🙂

[terse geode]

On a Friday???

[tawny topaz]

I'm feeling DANGEROUS!

[alpine pebble]

animations

[woeful warren]

I like run_command as much as everyone else here

[jade drift]

Toxic relationship with run_command

[daring sinew]

Listen for changes in actor properties? Hmm maybe

[woeful warren]

They should at least provide a better solution than animation controllers

[alpine pebble]

I am in great marriage with run_command

[cyan raven]

I know! Like some sort of "run_command" feature!

[alpine pebble]

never had an issue with it, all good experiences

[terse geode]

Not sure what the hatred of using scripting is

[tawny topaz]

but in seriousness... run_command is still a very contentious topic. and there's work we need to do to improve entity logic firing.

[woeful warren]

besides that...

[shadow stream]

They don't want to be spoiled

[cyan raven]

Not everyone wants to make an entire script (and deal with mojang's changes with the API and updates etc...) when they can use a simple component. Seems very obvious to me.

[woeful warren]

the API gets stable too

You don't have to deal with constant changes

[shadow stream]

"An entire script" though?

[cyan raven]

there is no way in hell i am dealing with that.

[terse geode]

Not everyone wants to make an entire json file (and deal with mojang's changes with the API and updates etc...) when they can use a simple script. Seems very obvious to me.

[alpine pebble]

I just wish Minecraft Addon development dont turns into 10% json and 90% scripting because JSON is fun

[woeful warren]

Actually now that I mention it, there's an event to detect event triggers right?

[cyan raven]

json files rarely change or update, I have been using a 1.16.0 file since... well 1.16.0

[shadow stream]

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

const unpushableBlocksArray = [
    "runecraft:chaos_altar"
]

world.beforeEvents.pistonActivate.subscribe((eventData) => {
    let attachedBlocks = eventData.piston.getAttachedBlocks()
    for(let i = 0; i < attachedBlocks.length; i++) {
        if( eventData.dimension.getBlock(attachedBlocks[i]).typeId == "runecraft:chaos_altar") eventData.cancel = true;
    }
})``` here is my entire script..? took maybe 10 minutes

[cyan raven]

no thanks.

[shadow stream]

and it can account for all blocks

[terse geode]

-_- they change every update

[arctic forge]

Use scripting

[shadow stream]

vs before having to go into every single block and changing components

[woeful warren]

The Scripting API is becoming stable. You don't have to worry about change as long as you stick to the stable API versions

[cyan raven]

"learn to code"

[arctic forge]

That's what all the cool kids always say, right?

[alpine pebble]

no

[terse geode]

https://tenor.com/view/fellow-hello-old-cool-gif-14738875

[woeful warren]

Me in my early 20s

[faint vector]

run_command will save a lot of development time, it would be a shame if it were removed

[terse geode]

9 mins to find the docs

[alpine pebble]

real cool kids copy and paste "stick to JSON"

[tawny topaz]

I know how convenient it is. I'm just giving the current information.

[terse geode]

Speaking of docs, the server module page is taking a long time to load now

[shadow stream]

In reality, I have a random server scripting section bookmarked, I open it up, ctrl+f the keyword and boom! 70 results and then I give up and scroll for it

[woeful warren]

Guys. Something tells me they don't want to remove it and make us mad on purpose

[alpine pebble]

And why is run_command getting removed exactly?

Because scripting or is there any other reason

[shadow stream]

I think they want to make us mad!

[cyan raven]

something about issues with it firing on clients or something idk.

[faint vector]

and run_command has the "target" option very useful

AC doesnt have that

[woeful warren]

I think it's ordering issues

[cyan raven]

true... this is the biggest thing imo.

[arctic forge]

I think it's an elaborate plan to make more people interested in scripts

[shadow stream]

You can target them with scripting

[alpine pebble]

I have trully never experienced a single issue with run_command and I have used it everywhere in my whole addon development journey from time to time

[cyan raven]

I need to have the player teleport when they punch/interact with an entity, target helped with that.

[woeful warren]

entityHit / entityInteract events: bonjour

[cyan raven]

Scripting shills again... smh.

[faint vector]

people have to be interested in seeing the benefits of script, not force them

[tawny topaz]

timing complexities and how those complexities can lead to very unpredictable and untestable situations. this makes it dangerous for us to support.

[cyan raven]

I'm not going to learn an entire language just to run a command.

[faint vector]

same

mobs with more than 5k code lines xd

no issues

[cyan raven]

same here

[shadow stream]

You can do so much more than just running a command though

[alpine pebble]

How can I replicate these?

[terse geode]

Then programatically remove it

[alpine pebble]

Why if I can just run a command!

[cyan raven]

the bar for entry for creating addons is being made higher and higher, not everyone wants, has the time, or cares to learn script api + javascript.

[alpine pebble]

I dont have much time, let me enjoy it

[faint vector]

wdym?

[terse geode]

Use python to read your json file and remove all instances of run command

[cyan raven]

guess i'll use @p in an animation controller.

[alpine pebble]

im happy I just have 1 entity with run command

[faint vector]

._.
sometimes I think you are joking

[woeful warren]

Or just use the event for no loss in accuracy

[alpine pebble]

but im having serious mental issues with my blocks right now.

[terse geode]

But im not. Yiure complaining that its too much work to remove it right?

[cyan raven]

true! I can use run_command in the event!

[woeful warren]

entityInteract / entityHurt

[cyan raven]

Its like they don't read... they can joke and laugh because they don't depend on the features we use. Elitist scripting users, laughable even.

[faint vector]

you lack reading comprehension

[woeful warren]

I love run_command too, but move on

[terse geode]

So did you?

[faint vector]

Removing the run_command from the code is the least of the problems, replacing it is the biggest problem, developing very complex entities would now take twice as long.

[woeful warren]

If you don't know what you're doing

[nova olive]

run_command is probably one of the most used experimental features

[shadow stream]

Shouldn't it be a no-brainer to want to use whatever tools you have at your disposal to make the best add-on you can?

[nova olive]

Just the ability to communicate between the world & JSONs with ease makes it very powerful

[woeful warren]

I understand that, but what can be done? It's not becoming stable. That we know

[cyan raven]

i'm going to move on eventually, but i'm sure everyone will be complaining when... they need to make a block bigger than the bounds, create an entity that can run a command, create an item bigger than 16x16... sure you can still do these things... but now its harder, for what? "they were experimental, suck it up and deal with it" no matter how long its been in the game and used for...

[woeful warren]

Yeah 🙂

[shadow stream]

That's what experimental means

[cyan raven]

insanity lmao

[jade drift]

I don't really understand what the issue is with scripting? The mojang team is trying to make addons more powerful and remove the limitations of json. I mean, there's a reason java edition mods are written in java and not yaml. Of course there's a learning curve for someone not familiar with programming but so is any other modding tool for other games. I think it's definitely the right decision going forward.

[terse geode]

I will agree that kayla amd her team were very new and didnt know the long term effects of keeping something experimental for 3 years. But theyre learning and have learned from their past mistakes

[tawny topaz]

I seriously would love nothing more than to ship run_command tomorrow.

[faint vector]

what become stable means? I don't know much about the Minecraft Bedrock code, but if the functionality is done, why would removing it from experimental break something in the code?

[alpine pebble]

guys just learn javascript

[woeful warren]

Because the point is to experiment with. There's no guarantee in it staying

[cyan raven]

"just learn javascript"

[terse geode]

Yeah? Its like us saying just learn json to someone who wants to make addons

[shadow stream]

Didn't you have to learn how to navigate your way through JSON? what's the difference

Animation controllers are another learning experience

[cyan raven]

JSON isn't a language lmao

[alpine pebble]

rude

[shadow stream]

It doesn't matter, you still have to learn things

[woeful warren]

It still takes knowledge to work with

[tawny topaz]

tbf.. HCF started before I joined, so I'm only responsible for the last 3 years 😛 not the few months of decisions before that!

[alpine pebble]

its all your fault

[cyan raven]

javascript has nuance, performance, learning how to use the API and navigate the docs.

[terse geode]

Kayla when she inherited a dumpster fire

[nova olive]

I mean, without run_command, how would communicating between entities & the world (even just scripts) be? Extremely long ACs? script events checking every tick for behaviour components? Those all are not great options, imo.
If someone has a good alternative, please, let me know

[faint vector]

there is a lot of difference bro...

[woeful warren]

don't you have to navigate the docs for JSON too?

You didn't just know about everything

[cyan raven]

the alternative is "Suck it up and use scripts like everyone else sheep"

[tawny topaz]

we have ideas on how we'll improve this. but there's still more work to do.

[shadow stream]

average bridge user 😏

[alpine pebble]

animations can also be used, but..

[terse geode]

None of us have called you sheep? Why so rude now?

[woeful warren]

I know JSON...

[arctic forge]

Isn't there a scripting event for entity running events?

[woeful warren]

Ok, but I do use bridge

[cyan raven]

bridge has clear text JSON editing, outside of the odd JSON formatter thing.

[shadow stream]

oh, it was kinda a joke

bridge users don't need the docs

[alpine pebble]

ew

[cyan raven]

I like bridge because template plugins, and its similar to the blockception plugin in VScode

I move between the two frequently

[tawny topaz]

ok well, I gotta run. Glad I didn't start a controversial topic in here 😛

[woeful warren]

Thanks

[nova olive]

I do use scripts, that's not the point

[alpine pebble]

oh that explains much

[terse geode]

Nice pun

[woeful warren]

We'll continue "discussing" how to adapt to this

[cyan raven]

I was being hyperbolic

[shadow stream]

Have a good run, remember, 150 minutes of cardio is the recommended amount for cardiovascular health!

[faint vector]

scripts right?

[nova olive]

I guess you could have entity events & use beforeEntityDataDrivenTrigger script event.. but scriptEventRecieve is a much cleaner alternative imo.

[cyan raven]

no, a new experimental feature we can use which will be deprecated in 3 years

[tawny topaz]

I think we'll invent something new for you all to learn. 😛

[nova olive]

Molang pt. 2

[terse geode]

Lua

[woeful warren]

The mistake was to leave it experimental for so long

[jade drift]

Assembly when

[cyan raven]

indeed that was the mistake

[shadow stream]

death would be a more welcoming feature

[woeful warren]

Better late than never much later though

[arctic forge]

It better be

[cyan raven]

"this feature adversely effected 10% of our userbase, the feature should be removed."

[tawny topaz]

The alternative would have been to break all of the content ya'll have without having a good answer to "well what else should I use"

[alpine pebble]

I am scared about the removal of run_command, but sounds like fun

[faint vector]

I hope it has the same advantages

[cyan raven]

Stockholm Syndrome (colorized)

[woeful warren]

Have you had any thoughts on alternatives

Or still need to cook

[cyan raven]

They said they are working on coming up with alternatives, but its a long road.

[tawny topaz]

Yes. But they aren’t all ready yet.

[woeful warren]

👍

We'll see what happens

[cyan raven]

well good luck

[tawny topaz]

So for now, hold tight. Keep using runcommand if you want.

[woeful warren]

last part of HCF: events

Then the toggle can finally be put down

[terse geode]

Upcoming Holiday Creator Features

[woeful warren]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[jade drift]

Mojang really changed the definition of upcoming

[woeful warren]

We still have upcoming creator features 👀

Will we finally get fog volumes?

[cyan raven]

every preview update is a holiday with mojang

i like the deferred renderer stuff thats cool

and we got mali support which is nice

[woeful warren]

long road ahead for deferred

[alpine pebble]

sean make me phyton script to update all my blocks to .30 thanks

[woeful warren]

There's a lot on my wish list

[alpine pebble]

I have not even finished updating them to .20 😭

[terse geode]

💪 Me using ADK to programatically make JSON files

[cyan raven]

true, but the road is paved with good intentions and hopefully good opportunities

I wanna see stuff similar to the core shaders in java

a man can dream

[woeful warren]

we got stuff that aren't even common in Java shaders

[alpine pebble]

introduce me your friend

[raven egret]

Thanks for the free script

[cyan raven]

true but the vanilla shader system in java is cool

[terse geode]

Do you know C++?

[shadow stream]

go ahead and use it, it's great for stopping blocks from being moved by pistons lol

[alpine pebble]

not yet

[cyan raven]

did not know it was possible

a block property for this would be nice

or block tag

or idk

[shadow stream]

That being said. the script is broken lol

[woeful warren]

I think it's funny.
Java: customizable shaders but requires mods for more advanced lighting
Bedrock: has advanced lighting but requires mods for custom shaders

[cyan raven]

true!

I have seen some amazing shaders with fake shadows on java though

[shadow stream]

I don't know what I was doing when I made this script

[cyan raven]

they look nice, but clearly fake and screen space

[shadow stream]

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

const unpushableBlocksArray = [
    "runecraft:chaos_altar"
]

world.beforeEvents.pistonActivate.subscribe((eventData) => {
    let attachedBlocks = eventData.piston.getAttachedBlocks()
    for(let i = 0; i < attachedBlocks.length; i++) {
        for(let x = 0; x < unpushableBlocksArray.length; x++) {
            if( eventData.dimension.getBlock(attachedBlocks[i]).typeId == unpushableBlocksArray[x]) eventData.cancel = true;
        }
    }
})``` 😔

[raven egret]

Was the previous one broken or something?

[shadow stream]

I wasn't even using the array LOL

[raven egret]

oh yahhh

I actually noticed that lol

I was confused why

[shadow stream]

I must have been half asleep

[woeful warren]

Can someone please make a custom piston

I know it's possible with current features

[raven egret]

No worries. Just supply us with free scripts like this and fix them everytime they break.

[shadow stream]

sure

"free" 🙂

[woeful warren]

it costs internet service

[raven egret]

Cool, make a script that checks custom blocks to see if there's air beneath them and to break the block if that happens

[wary vigil]

Speedrun 🏃

[raven egret]

Actually I think a tag would be better

[shadow stream]

easy

[woeful warren]

here we go again

[raven egret]

a custom tag

[alpine pebble]

create a GH for me and gravel with your free provided scripts

[jade drift]

Hmmm some sort of "air tag"

[shadow stream]

Idk, it's just my add-on

[alpine pebble]

you'll win two thanks with every script

I'll give you $1 per script

[alpine pebble]

[raven egret]

$1 is cheap

[alpine pebble]

I am a contributor

[alpine pebble]

Why giving that when you can just say thanks

[nova olive]

Bendy piston addon like the java datapack when

[alpine pebble]

lol

[shadow stream]

Gravel new free script dropping incoming

[raven egret]

yay

[nova olive]

Free scripts? Yippee!

[shadow stream]

free custom mob head script! 10 left in stock

[alpine pebble]

can you give me a script that detects if there is power 1 or more of redstone in any faces of the custom block and if so, change states in it

[jade drift]

least obvious virus be like:

[raven egret]

Do my air one first

[alpine pebble]

that will get us iron trapdoor in wiki gravel

[raven egret]

Cool. Sadly I don't require custom mob heads at this time.

[terse geode]

Oh no...custom doors moment

[alpine pebble]

custom trapdoors for now only

because I have to update my custom doors

[shadow stream]

darn, can I interest you in a custom fishing script?

[raven egret]

No

[alpine pebble]

[raven egret]

bip bop custom doors suck

[alpine pebble]

nope

[raven egret]

suckz

[alpine pebble]

just using two blocks

[woeful warren]

:(

[raven egret]

Theif

[jade drift]

bro copied from runescape

[shadow stream]

I want to be as basic as possible in my implementations 😠

this .includes thing is ridiculous!

[woeful warren]

Would you rather another for loop?

[shadow stream]

don't you dare tell me that embedding for loops inside of each other makes it look more confusing

[nova olive]

It do

I would use a forEach, but it runs regardless of returns, so a for loop for the top isn't actually that bad

[alpine pebble]

and a script that acts exactly like on_interact and run_command

[nova olive]

on interact? There's an event for that™️

(In preview)

[raven egret]

and you can insert molang as conditions

lol

[shadow stream]

easy js world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((eventData) => { eventData.player.runCommandAsync("say hi") }

done

[raven egret]

I think your missing the command part

[shadow stream]

done

[raven egret]

It's not running a command

HAHA

I knew it was gonna be say hi

Literally every Add-On creators go to test command

[alpine pebble]

does it works in the block

[shadow stream]

wdym

[alpine pebble]

like, if i put setblock ~~~

would that work

[shadow stream]

yeah

[alpine pebble]

lovely

is that stable?

[shadow stream]

no

the event is in the latest Preview

[alpine pebble]

yikes

[raven egret]

on interact? There's an event for that:tm:
(In preview)

[shadow stream]

brand new

[alpine pebble]

fair enough

now do the redstone one

ill instantly test it

[nova olive]

[alpine pebble]

well kinda after my coffee done

i code with coffee in my desk, how fun

[nova olive]

Whats the redstone one?

Also we should move to #1067535382285135923

[shadow stream]

ye

[nova olive]

but Block.getRedstonePower();

[shadow stream]

🤯

[alpine pebble]

A script that detects if there is redstone power above 1 in any of the faces of a any custom block, and changes a state value on it if so.

I am concerned about one block crawling working with the use of a bug as a feature

[cyan raven]

I created a basic script that replaces the functionality of run_command if anyone would like to use it. I think it works pretty well for my usecase. It uses the latest beta for 1.20.30 (1.4.0-beta @minecraft-server)

Thank you @nova olive for helping me setup a script api environment with all the typings and stuff and sending me the docs

if you have a feature you would like me to add to it let me know 🙂

[faint vector]

wow, from a damage_sensor and a run_command with 3 lines to that.

[cyan raven]

Yeah, it sucks, but we have an alternative which is very malleable for people who are more experienced with the script api

its basically copy paste for anyone who doesn't care to do anything else with it besides edit the config

all you need to touch is this part:

const entityConfig = {
    entitiesThatCanHit: [
        {
            entity: 'minecraft:player', // The entity that can hit others (leave blank to allow any entity)
            entitiesToHit: [
                { entityType: 'minecraft:pig', command: 'say I hit a pig!' },
                { entityType: 'minecraft:cow', command: 'say I hit a cow!' },
                // Add more entities and commands as needed
            ]
        },
        // You can define additional entities that can hit with their own targets and commands like below
        {
            entity: 'minecraft:herobrine', // The entity that can hit others (leave blank to allow any entity)
            entitiesToHit: [
                { entityType: 'minecraft:pig', command: 'say I hit a pig!' },
                { entityType: 'minecraft:cow', command: 'say I hit a cow!' },
                // Add more entities and commands as needed (like above)
            ]
        },
    ]
};```

it also means that all hit interactions between any entity can be handled in a single file

which is good in my opinion

i'll try and add a right click interaction too, but we don't have a great way of doing that right now... especially without the little mobile button that pops up

[terse geode]

Absolute win, all your events in one file

[cyan raven]

praise the sun

[faint vector]

what about events triggered by timers?

[cyan raven]

I can add that, you mean commands triggered by a timer?

in ticks

or a delay when a command is executed when an entity hits another entity

I can add both I think

[faint vector]

by minecraft:timer

[cyan raven]

I see, I can add that to the file

[shadow stream]

another convert

[cyan raven]

I looked into script api more, and I thought it was like gametest where it always breaks every update, it can do that but it depends on what you use in the script.

most of the "breaking stuff" is renaming functions

[final locust]

What a rubbish 🤢

[terse geode]

🥱 Nuh uh

[final locust]

all my entities with various execution commands incompatible for future versions, the future looks very innovative bro

💀

🙏🏻

[terse geode]

Update your addon bro

[final locust]

yeah, that's what's left when you know that there are incompetents working on the game in which you create content.

Very inclusive

[terse geode]

Or is it incompetent for you to rely on experimental features and lazy to update your addon?

[cyan raven]

There was a real reason the feature was removed, I have no idea what that reason was, nor did I ever experience the bugs that said feature supposedly introduced, but we just have to trust that Mojang had a good reason to do it.

Doing anything else is futile, because nothing will change.

[final locust]

Yes, that's for sure, who doesn't like to waste their time writing a thousand commands and other codes when you already had it done in an easier way and with much less text?

[cyan raven]

I disagree with this take, the same could be said for quasi-connectivity which is a bug in java edition and by deffinition an experimental accident that was left to stay because the community used it so much.

[terse geode]

It wasnt introduced as experimental at all. Its just a bug which Mojang seems to have a weird tendency to cave to whatever Java players want since theyre more sensitive to change

[final locust]

It worked so badly that all the commands I wrote worked correctly. But hey, what can we do.

[cyan raven]

Thats how I feel man, but we can't do anything about it

[final locust]

🍰

[calm violet]

Why do people not use guard clauses.

[shadow stream]

my script is flawless 😠

[terse geode]

Without the less

[shadow stream]

what's wrong with it

[pallid lion]

lol

time to rate the script ig

Zack, why

[shadow stream]

wdym

[pallid lion]

running .getBlock multiple times is not good

[shadow stream]

Whose gonna stop me

[pallid lion]

it will make the script slower

[shadow stream]

I concede that one

[pallid lion]

🤔 also I wonder why do people not use Vector.add

[shadow stream]

Vector's aren't real

[pallid lion]

fair

[shadow stream]

Looked them up, they just seem like they're for people that are afraid else statements

[shadow stream]

//explosion item drop
world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const impactedBlocksArray = eventData.getImpactedBlocks();
    const dimension = eventData.dimension;
    for (let i = 0; i < impactedBlocksArray.length; i++) {
        for(let x = 0; x < mobHeadArray.length; x++) {
            const block = dimension.getBlock(impactedBlocksArray[i]);
            if(block.hasTag(mobHeadArray[x][2])) {
                const blockLocation = ({ x: block.location.x + 0.5, y: block.location.y + 0.4, z: block.location.z + 0.5 });
                system.run(() => {
                    dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(mobHeadArray[x][0], 1), blockLocation)
                })
                break;
            }
        }
    }
});``` happy?

[pallid lion]

Yes, thank you!

[nova olive]

if else is for people who can't decide on ice cream flavours

[shadow stream]

You're right

I can't 😦

[alpine pebble]

how do I define the blocks that will run the commands 🙂

[pallid lion]

Block.setType is better than running the setblock command lol

[alpine pebble]

that's fine

[pallid lion]

oh okay

[alpine pebble]

I mainly want that to run commands from the block & change block states on interact. Also would be cool to be able to define item as condition

[pallid lion]

this maybe?

const block = [
    "minecraft:grass",
    "minecraft:dirt"
];

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ player, block }) => {
    if (blocks.include(block.typeId)) {
        player.sendMessage( "Hello!" );
    };
});

also we should move to #1067535382285135923

[alpine pebble]

lets do that

[green quartz]

That was a fun chat to catch up on

[pallid lion]

hii Thomas!

[pallid lion]

@shadow stream what do you think? :D

[shadow stream]

you just initialized everything in the subscribe instead of eventData?

[pallid lion]

Yeah and just changed some other things

look around, you can will be able to see what got changed

[nocturne carbon]

And then how can they make projectiles? (without scripting)
