1.20.80.22 - Preview

[sinful stump]

[flint cypress]

There were all sorts of inconsistencies with things like :shank:. A lot of those work now.

I'll have to figure out where and how later.

[signal scarab]

:_input_key.sneak:, :_input_key.jump: I imagine there is other ones like .attack .interact?

[candid monolith]

attack and use
Also forward, left, right, back, inventory

[long scaffold]

Ah, you should try onQueuedTick when it comes.

[flint cypress]

Will do

[sinful stump]

That's.... 😂 does it work on signs? It sohuld?

[candid monolith]

Seems like it does not work on signs or books

[flint cypress]

Yeah, it only exists in limited places. 😦

[candid monolith]

So I guess the changelog was very literal, it's not a change to raw text, it's literally /tellraw and /titleraw specifically

[flint cypress]

Hopefully script-correspondant ones, too.

[candid monolith]

So even more weird and bad

[flint cypress]

Well, it's a stopgap for especially Marketplace teams.

But, yeah, hopefully they'll have something more consistent down the road.

[signal scarab]

Input key list:

• :_input_key.togglePerspective:
• :_input_key.jump:
• :_input_key.sneak:
• :_input_key.forward:
• :_input_key.left:
• :_input_key.back:
• :_input_key.right:

• :_input_key.cycleItemLeft:
• :_input_key.cycleItemRight:
• :_input_key.attack:
• :_input_key.sprint:

[candid monolith]

Doing something like this has been wanted for a while, so even the bare minimum is not so bad

[signal scarab]

Darknavi if you are still around will these work in server ui forms?

[candid monolith]

https://pastebin.com/HbDWKTPV
You can do all these too. Not as useful since they just map directly to characters you could already have typed

[agile verge]

Are we still waiting on the update to be available?

[flint cypress]

I see Tryashtar's from emoticons.json. Where'd you find these?

[signal scarab]

Lang!

[flint cypress]

Oh, there are more. Like menuTabLeft.

[fringe bluff]

When we looked at these tellraw updates, the original proposal was to rework the entire system, which would have taken months. Instead, we looked at doing as small of a change as possible to unlock new scenarios quicker. So yes, what was released today is limited. But I stand by the call that getting this out quicker is more important than waiting much longer.

[signal scarab]

I was just clicking through search quickly. There are were too many dupes to grab one at a time. Was going to pull them and get uniques later

[tropic dove]

kinda huge tbh

[signal scarab]

Small features fast!

As the creators of marvel snap did a GDC talk on. Build, Play, Learn. Repeat.

[agile verge]

Marketplace maps are definitely going to be using these inputs once it releases as stable

[flint cypress]

tellraw @a {"rawtext":[{"text":":_input_key.mobeffectsandinteractwithtoast:"}]}

[signal scarab]

What does that display as 👀

[flint cypress]

Unassigned, to me as a keyboard user. 😛

It's for controllers.

hotbar.1 is another that works.

Lots of things, really…

I wonder what happens if you use the feature wherein multiple keys are bound to the same thing…

[signal scarab]

Stop opening cans Cici!

[flint cypress]

It's clear we've never met. Hi, I'm Cici!

[candid monolith]

It's hard to tell which ones are valid since any random thing like :_input_key.ajsdlfkjasklijraoesijf: turns into Unassigned

[flint cypress]

I can guess at which ones are valid. Give me a minute.

[sinful stump]

I dont mind light mode from you but the green text really?

[candid monolith]

Noice thank you

[flint cypress]

Can't promise they'd work! But they should.

[flint cypress]

Sorry. 😞

Captain's log:

6 hours since the changelogs were posted. No signs of the update anywhere on the windows platform. Some BAO users are getting angry and hungry for new things to play with. It appears the update was lost in the sea of pipelines when they were being transferred. The mobile and console ships are enjoying their treasures. The Java ship is rolling in MLG tricks and hammer time

[faint cosmos]

I’m liking those captain logs, they should always delay Windows releases so we get more

[umbral trail]

The bogged got stuck in the pipeline again. Gotta call a plumber

[fringe bluff]

Thomas, can you kick the Windows Store server again?

[sinful stump]

@radiant mango @vagrant valley Check the store

[elder flare]

Minecraft Preview v1.20.80.22 is out now on the Microsoft Store!

[opaque scroll]

WOOOO

[idle hornet]

Oh hey it's out

[long scaffold]

No more logs

[idle hornet]

Too bad I can't get on now

[faint cosmos]

Looks like the bot failed to send the message the first time

[radiant mango]

Bro...

[signal scarab]

I kicked it!

[hexed hornet]

new updaye?

or bot is slow

[faint cosmos]

@sinful stump Captain log

[radiant mango]

As soon as I turned of my PC, the update drops

[sinful stump]

What's up?

[faint cosmos]

;w;

[faint cosmos]

^

[faint cosmos]

They just released the preview on Windows

[opaque scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/skaven-cheiften-skaven-cheiften-guitar-rat-gif-24492026

[sinful stump]

I had to double check the install first

[junior flame]

💀 lmao they released it after I woke up

[sinful stump]

Captain's log:

A few minutes after my previous entry, the Windows Store army has returned us our stolen Preview build. Every BAO user is now hopping in joy. The gods have blessed us. Thomas no longer has to walk the plank

"treasure": true
Hey, anyone know what this function does in loot tables?

[uneven thunder]

Sorry to bother but Any news on defferd coming to consoles in the beta and preview version @fringe bluff ?

Ps4/ps5

[fringe bluff]

no news

we'll announce this sort of thing in the changelog, so no need to message me

[junior flame]

They are coming just wait. Bruh

[uneven thunder]

No need to be rude also been waiting for almost a year now 😆

[radiant mango]

epic bug

[uneven thunder]

Not only meeeeeee

[opaque scroll]

that's the function that is used when we get the preview (our treasure) , and Thomas doesn't need to walk the plank anymore

[uneven thunder]

There's something wrong in the sky I told you

[junior flame]

💀 the preview for PS just got introduced
What do you expect

[sinful stump]

oooh

[opaque scroll]

uhh what

[sinful stump]

Pinging @flint cypress

[junior flame]

But sorry if I come across as rude, didn't mean to

[uneven thunder]

@radiant mango

This glitch is from 1.20.81

[flint cypress]

Show code.

[faint cosmos]

That looks very interesting…

[flint cypress]

That's not a function. It's just a property for that that allows treasure enchantments to be rolled.

[sinful stump]

I see

[wispy rapids]

what's that?

[sinful stump]

Block thumbnail atlas

Editor mode

[wispy rapids]

aaaah okay

[signal scarab]

Sorry when was I going to walk the plank???

[sinful stump]

The 7th hour

[signal scarab]

Whyyyy!

[sinful stump]

The gods require a sacrifice

[opaque remnant]

We can still sacarfice Thomas for more features in next preview

[opaque scroll]

wait, the mace is AoE??

like it blows stuff back that's nearby the entity hit

[sinful stump]

Yes, not dmg though

[opaque scroll]

ye

sadly

it's already OP still without the AoE damage

[little storm]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just saw it. "Harcore mode" coming soon.

[opaque scroll]

ye, it was mentioned

[sinful stump]

😄 yep

Cant believe theyre abandoning hardcore mode in favour of harcore

[graceful scarab]

preview right?

[opaque scroll]

lmao

I didn't even realise it said "harcore" xD

And I thought you said "hardcode mode"

😂

[little storm]

Yeah. It only shows up in the old UI from what I can tell

[opaque remnant]

Java peeps always said they would never add harcore mode to bedrock!

[little storm]

No one thought they would ever add harcore

[opaque remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-dumb-you-gif-8906255

[finite kernel]

great now i dont have to see if its shadowdropped every week :doggySmurkW:

[little storm]

I understood it, I just was (giving an attempt at) playing along

[agile verge]

You must fall 83 blocks to one tap the warden with the new mace with a crit

Useless shit but I'll still find it out lol

[wicked grail]

pvp is going to change to just people launching themselves into the sky to try and jump on you

I'm guessing shield will still block it at least

[opaque scroll]

ye lol

[little storm]

I want real-life combat to be this, now.

[opaque scroll]

on java they can use offhand for the charge

[flint cypress]

@primal lake, thoughts on #announcements message?

[little storm]

I'm not the intended recipient of this message, but I am grateful for you letting us know.

[agile verge]

Will we ever see Java 1.9 combat come to bedrock?

[little storm]

Also, I love the cross fox in your profile picture

[sinful stump]

No

We will see combat v3

[flint cypress]

[wicked grail]

wolf

[signal scarab]

It's cute and that is all that matters

[cerulean marlin]

soo uhh

what i miss

(what does reflections look like)

[primal lake]

Thank you for asking.

They've been telling us it was coming so I've only been doing entity stuff. I don't use any of those.

As long as they don't remove Entity stuff I'm find. IMO Blocks and items have already been "dump" objects

My biggest block request was let us use the water blockshape on/with custom blocks. It's the most powerful and amazing blockshape there is and with 2 minor changes to how it culls to custom blocks it would really make alot of vanilla and custom blocks epic. I use it now for sand, gravel and other "soft" material blocks, but it has some light leaking and culling issues with custom blocks that need fixed.

I can do everything I want to from the BP/RP side it just harder to do but with the added entity properties and query scoreboard it easier today than it was last week.

No reason to hold you all back because of my stupid old ass. Enjoy your JS, make wonderful things with it. Maybe someone will make a bridgev3 that does it all.

Or maybe I'll go back to mainly UE5 as JS takes over. Who knows.

I'm just happy I get to make games today.

[long scaffold]

Check #1182091012177399809

[primal lake]

I had been waiting for 3-4 years for custom blocks to do connected textures. But after I saw block events were going to work. I just sat down and worked it out from the BP/AC player point of view and commands. I can push this out 80+block so 99% of the time the player doesn't even see it converting in real time.

This also shows the water blockshape in the mud. Notice it's not squared and instead meets the water, I know this break minecraft but I like it alot more. https://youtu.be/yBk3RdNEW2A

I also worked out.
Block doors, keys, multi-blockdoors
Sitting on blocks, block animations
Trigger Block "fake" events and many others just from the BP side. I have guides for most those.
So I think there are still 2 clear paths BP/RP and JS... Im not sure the powers that be are happy about that. But is what it is.

[primal lake]

What do you think? Are you excited about what JS will enable creators to do?

[flint cypress]

I feel weird. I was doing JS long before it was reborn on Bedrock. I love Molang. I kinda just wish they had gotten that right the first time around.

[signal scarab]

I think molang has a big place on the RP still! Script on server (with molang), molang on client vibes

[long scaffold]

Deprecate molang when client scripting comes 😛

[flint cypress]

World gen

Also, we need client scripting just because.

[cerulean marlin]

anyway

i’m making my own pbr pack soon

👀

spaghetti pbr

or nostalgia pbr

or big eddy pbr

[primal lake]

Yes, that would have been nice. However, it's so hard to have a child (Bedrock) this new game out there. You really have no idea how it will do in the world as it grows up and interacts with people. So looking at what was java, and what was C++ games.

There just doesn't seem like an easy logical middle compromise. So I understand json basics and lets just get it out there and see how it does.

But since it's done so very very well now that looks like a silly idea. But if it would have failed like a few other titles we wont name. I think it would have looked like a good business choice.

I think ever developer/studio/producer is struggling with this choice. So I don't fault them at all. It's an impossible choice to make and win at. Might as well go to Vegas and put it on a table.

I commend them for sticking with it and focusing on the creators. Most AAA game studios don't get that the creators are what keep the games alive for decades.

[signal scarab]

I wonder if with custom world gen client side chunk generation would get disabled. A client might not know how to generate custom biomes? 🤔

[flint cypress]

They don't disable it with features. And you can put structures in the resource pack to have them compatible with client-side chunk generation.

So I don't think so?

[sinful stump]

Which still isnt documented or well known

[flint cypress]

Nothing is. I don't think I've seen a single product on the Marketplace that used features or feature rules.

[signal scarab]

This fix might lead to it would be disabled? Or at least if we had biomes today

[sinful stump]

I dont think theyre allowed too based on the qna

[flint cypress]

We are allowed to…

[sinful stump]

I should probably ask my marketplace owner for further clarification...but i dont think we're gonna do add-ons

[signal scarab]

If it's stable its fair game!

[sinful stump]

#1214988608654540850 message yeah just the part "mess with world gen"

[signal scarab]

Oh you didn't mention Add-Ons

[sinful stump]

Ig that refers to vanilla. Ig also @hearty wind comment from a while back threw me off

[flint cypress]

Yeah, only random seed worlds can use features and feature rules.

[sinful stump]

Well...how....would a set map use world gen?

[sinful stump]

I completely forgot about dynamic worlds

[signal scarab]

Don't generate that many chunks?

[flint cypress]

God, if not even Sean remembered dynamic worlds… that's not good.

No wonder those didn't take off.

[signal scarab]

Dynamic world makes sense though

[sinful stump]

I think it got overshadowed by addons and how the first few batches had xray "scam"

Its just not ad avdertised

[flint cypress]

I guess the blatant failure of documentation for world-gen doesn't help. Nor does not including features or feature rules in the vanilla assets repo. Nor does the small creator community for such. Nor does not having biomes working yet…

I'm hoping it'll take off in the future.

I think the last one is the biggest for a lot of people. Biomes are great, and I think people will see how great features are… but only once we get biomes.

[sinful stump]

No offense to kayla she did an amazing job trying to push dynamic worlds but after that i barely saw any mentions of it anymore?

[drifting imp]

Isn't having some sort of a map a requirement for marketplace? How does that affect dynamic worlds

[flint cypress]

I don’t think there are enough world-gen pros to do anything with it. Non-world-gen kinda worked, though. I know some studios that did something with that. But most of those endeavors are now best served with add-ons.

[flint cypress]

No map for those

[drifting imp]

Ah

[primal lake]

Personally I feel Minecraft, No Man's Skies and many other dynamically gen'ed games struggle from the same issues. 2% of no man's skies has been explored but we've already seen everything interesting to see.

Biomes are great but if you have 20 biomes and just repeat them over and over, you still only have 20 biomes. I think where marketplace does well is meeting in the middle in some cases.

The best marketplace map IMO is a normal seed with a custom build themed area in the middle. I think a 50% hybrid of dynamic generation with 50% hand crafted is key to an immersive story and long term engagement.

Sadly there are warehouse partners whose goals seem to be, to get the player in and out of their addon as fast as they can to keep sales going. Instead of building quality long term customer relationships. We see the opposite with the mobile microtransaction scum.

If marketplace paid by both player engagement and playtime and upfront sales instead of only upfront sales I think things would change.

[fringe bluff]

yeah, Dynamic Worlds are essentially Map Templates, without world data. So any seed can be used. But it can only create "New Worlds".

Add-Ons are a different flavor, and can be applied to new or existing worlds. They also have significantly more rules on what they can do to try and prevent collisions and player data loss.

[primal lake]

So will we get access to change Dynamic Worlds template or make our own

[fringe bluff]

What do you mean?

[primal lake]

Like could I have a snow only template

or space..

[fringe bluff]

We'd need to provide data-driven approaches to control world-gen.

(which we want to do, of course)

[primal lake]

Right now I have to start flat, remove everything, then build outward

[fringe bluff]

but like a "space" one... not sure why you'd want a Dynamic World here instead of a normal world template

[primal lake]

sure. totally.

Personally. I'd like a template for water only. void only, land only...

[sinful stump]

😅 Kayla...idk how much influence you have over the social media team... (maybe i can pester LZA instead) ... but a "round up"/recap of what the marketplace has achieved the past year might be great! And helps introduce each category

[fringe bluff]

"Dynamic Worlds" is really just a marketplace thing. Ya'll could already do all this stuff with normal add-ons.

[primal lake]

oh sorry. I missed that. I was thinking worldgen templates

[fringe bluff]

Lots more social stuff is planned for Marketplace, don't worry about that.

[primal lake]

Thank you for all the hard work

[primal lake]

I understand if you can't tell me this if it's under nda.

Is there a limit on pixel depth for marketplace content. Can I submit HD addons for marketplace? I can't tell if my struggles with HD content is because partners don't want to take the risk or if there is a "policy" against it. I know there is alot of distain for HD content in the community and I'm told a lack of interest, yet no one has tried it, so I understand eitherway. I'd love to put my space game and other hybrid HD content on marketplace but have assumed by my interactions with partners its 0% chance. I'm getting close to finishing my space game and have to decide now what.

[fringe bluff]

There is no HDR pipeline in the game currently AFAIK

[primal lake]

I just me HD textures

[fringe bluff]

oh - not sure offhand.

[signal scarab]

What resolution do you mean by HD? Lifeboat has some maps that have high poly high texture size models iirc

[primal lake]

Thats why I'm asking I don't know what the limits are or if there are limits

Here is the inside of my space ship. This is on the players head and is the 1st person viewport.

[torpid spade]

There's definitely a max size for the atlas.

[primal lake]

Sure. sure

[torpid spade]

It's probably different per platform too. Like I don't expect a Switch to have the same GPU capabilities as a desktop PC.

[primal lake]

true. But I'm not having technical issue. I'm asking about policy. Bedrock can do it just fine

[torpid spade]

I've also heard it's possible to be graylisted on the Marketplace. However, I'm not sure if that's only related to performance.

[primal lake]

I'm not sure what we can talk about related to that. but my focus is not mobile. I'd really like to provide some content for everyone else not mobile I feel is under served. The rest of us shouldn't be held down because of those platforms. We should have options for mid/higherend devices too IMO. If I have to self publish I'd only hit PC anyways.

[primal lake]

I'm excited to see how well it will do on lowerend devices though. I've been really working hard to keep the particles and load low. Other than having to tick stuff map wide for the particle to play I think it will do well. Since most of the map is open space the block count total map wide is extreme low. In testing on highend I can have hundreds to thousands of fighters and pirates entities all attacking each other at once with out alot of issues. Bedrock as an engine is AAA IMO. with a finished lighting system be it RTX or deferred it will be epic.

[fallen spoke]

harcore mode

[sinful stump]

Perfect

Oh....something is very wrong with the full block geo or the material instances in this preview

[signal scarab]

How so?

[signal scarab]

The real question is are you step on or step off?

[sinful stump]

"minecraft:material_instances": {
                "*": {
                    "texture": "sculk"
                }
            },
            "minecraft:geometry": {
                "identifier": "minecraft:geometry.full_block"
            },
``` this...is what you're seeing in the video....it's supposed to be a sculk texture...but it ins't

[sinful stump]

Wax on, wax off

Also steam is like....downloading a game for me rn so i cant record the other two components yet

[signal scarab]

Oh yeah that's odd

[sinful stump]

Smh...looks like thomas has to walk the plank after all...the gods are obviously not pleased

[signal scarab]

Please not the plank 😭

[sinful stump]

@fringe bluff Here's a video showcasing all three custom components 😄

definitely gonna mess around before i make a yt video on the technical changes in 1.20.80.22 if i bother making one lol

[signal scarab]

"Don't leave me"

I'm so excited by block components

[sinful stump]

😂 Yeah...step off

[fringe bluff]

Tick tock: Step off!

[tired trellis]

daamn, didn't expect the beta to be this late

and yes i still called it beta
just a 3-4 hours gap after i slept and woke up

also yeah btw, the resource packs tab in the create world screen still crashes @sullen lotus

[sullen lotus]

eh maybe i might try beta to see if it gonna crash for me or what

[worn grove]

i don't think that's gonna work
Or it is ?

[worn grove]

Nooooooooooo why did you leave it 😭😭💔🥺😔

The block was so loyal even it start talkin when you leave it 😔

[tired trellis]

They added grid support for mobile?!

this wasn't possible before.

it was only lists

you can only change the grid - list and vice versa after turning the GUI scale from 0 to -1 then switch it again and boom.

[cobalt coral]

old news

[tired trellis]

oh. thought this was something new

since I didn't try messing with GUI sizes since just a bit

[faint cosmos]

I’ve actually noticed that too. The block in the image is supposed to have the sand texture but it doesn’t

[winged cedar]

If you didnt know, mace breaks all blocks 1.5 times faster on bedorck

[sullen lotus]

same issue here

[rigid cobalt]

I found a gameplay bug which is quite broken. If you collect a decorated pot which has loot tables with the fist, u get the decorated pot and the loot table.

However, if you put the decorated pot again and break it again with the fist, it will give another item from that loot table. And that goes infinitely, so infinite loot

[sinful stump]

@compact epoch

eventData.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent(
        'adk-lib:on_random_tick_say_hi',
        {
            onRandomTick: (componentData) => {
                componentData.dimension.runCommand(
                    `say Tick tock! from ${componentData.block.typeId} at ${componentData.block.x}, ${componentData.block.y}, ${componentData.block.z}`
                );
            }
        }
    );

[compact epoch]

oh

so ${componentData.block.typeId} is the trick?

and dimension

[wicked grail]

does onRandomTick not let you define the randomness?

[compact epoch]

uhh preview is crashing kinda too often

[sinful stump]

Wdym?

[sinful stump]

What command are you trying to run?

[compact epoch]

setblock <block_pos> grass

[wicked grail]

As in how random is it, what if I want the random tick to only go off 1/100 ticks at random vs 1/1000

[sinful stump]

Then you can do math.random() < blah return

[wicked grail]

well then there's no point in doing onRandomTick

[obsidian nexus]

setblock ${componentData.block.x} ${componentData.block.y} ${componentData.block.z} grass

[wicked grail]

because that just adds an extra layer of unknown randomness

[sinful stump]

Xorkent beat me to it

[compact epoch]

That's exactly what im doing

is not working

let me see if my packs got cached

[sinful stump]

So you want queued ticking then

[obsidian nexus]

Though ideally you’d want to isolate the block into its own const to minimize calls to component data

[wicked grail]

I want to be able to define how random the tick is lol

IT doesn't make sense to me for there to be a randomTick component we can define, without being able to define the randomness of it

[sinful stump]

So basically you want queued ticking then

[wicked grail]

I mean that's what I'll have to use to create an actual randomTick component

because you can't define the randomTick range

[sinful stump]

So then you just have to wait for the upcoming previews

[wicked grail]

So how random is onRandomTick then

[compact epoch]

eventData.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent(initEvent => {
    initEvent.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('kai:hello_world', {
        onStepOn: e => {
            componentData.dimension.runCommand('setblock ${componentData.block.x}, ${componentData.block.y}, ${componentData.block.z} grass');
        }
    });
});

is this good

[sinful stump]

Just like the old randomtick component?

[wicked grail]

and how random was that

[sinful stump]

Oh no, change componentData to e

[sinful stump]

🤷 Random tick....

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tick

[wicked grail]

Seems useless then

[compact epoch]

What exactly do I have to import btw? just world?

[sinful stump]

Yeah

[sinful stump]

For you yes

[wicked grail]

Not knowing how random it actually is is the issue

[sinful stump]

Random tick is used for grass/fire spreading/decay. Crops growing, etc

[compact epoch]

its giving me eventData not defined at blah blah

[sinful stump]

It's the same randomness as a normal ticked block 🤷 do yo know how ticks work?

[wicked grail]

What is that randomness 🗿

[sinful stump]

🗿 Read the damn link

A game tick is where Minecraft's game loop runs once. The game normally runs at a fixed rate of 20 ticks per second, so one tick happens every 0.05 seconds (50 milliseconds or 1/20 seconds), making an in-game day last exactly 24 000 ticks (20 minutes). However, if the computer is unable to keep up with this speed, there are fewer game ticks per second (TPS). As the vast majority of actions are timed based on tick count rather than on wall clock time, this means that many things take longer on a slower computer.

[compact epoch]

that's why you have 3 weeks delay zack

[wicked grail]

I know what a tick is

[sinful stump]

not working

[wicked grail]

you didn't do before initialize

you sure that 3 week delay was for me>?

[compact epoch]

oh i forgot

[compact epoch]

yes

im sure

So like this?

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(eventData => {
    eventData.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('kai:hello_world', {
        onStepOn: e => {
            e.dimension.runCommand('setblock ${componentData.block.x}, ${componentData.block.y}, ${componentData.block.z} grass');

[compact epoch]

pfft im not reading

[amber field]

You are using a string literal. These are represented by double quotes or single quotes—"" or ''. You need to use a template literal, which is represented using accent marks—``

[sinful stump]

OH i didnt even notice that as well

[compact epoch]

are the commas needed if so, then?

no right?

[sinful stump]

No commas

[compact epoch]

yay is working

I can't believe im writing ts

[amber field]

Although you probably want to use an API method to place the block instead of running a command

[compact epoch]

What if I want to change from state 0 to 1 of that same block

that command was the clearest example of what i needed

[amber field]

Even more reason to use an API method. It should have a way to change block states, lemme look real quick

Yea a command is the most straightforward, but comes with limitations of its own

[compact epoch]

Also how do you "look for what you need" when it comes to scripting

[sinful stump]

I think command is an easy entry for kaoiga since hes never done scripting

[amber field]

You can either reference the documents on the web (at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator) or by looking through the type file (d.ts file) provided by the @minecraft/server NPM JS package

I do the latter personally, the web docs are more annoying to navigate

[compact epoch]

yeah... asked because the docs are confusing

imo

[opaque scroll]

agreed

[compact epoch]

also just a quick update, you can't still send a redstone signal with scripting right?

[compact epoch]

Im open to learning if teachers have patience 🥺🙂

This is what I have, by the way

[amber field]

Actually how do you set a block at another location

Can't seem to figure out how I change a block ID, I see it's stored in a BlockPermutation, but I cannot edit the properties of the block's permutation, or use the new constructor on the BlockPermutation class

Oh, I'm overthinking it. There's a Block.prototype.setType() method

[amber field]

Sometimes the API has native methods that are really easy and straightforward to use. Here setting the block ID on itself could not be more straight forward:

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

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe((eventData) => {
  eventData.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('kai:hello_world', {
    onStepOn(e) {
      // This
      e.block.setType('grass')
      // vs
      e.dimension.runCommand(
        `setblock ${e.block.x} ${e.block.y} ${e.block.z} grass`
      );
    }
  });
});

[compact epoch]

Oh cool you can do ${e.block.y+1} too, looks useful

[amber field]

And if you want the block adjacent to the event's block, you could use e.block.above(1)?.setType('grass')

[compact epoch]

oh I see

But when you say "straightforward", does that means it is faster or just more compacted?

[amber field]

A little of both, but primarily with a focus on "easier to read."

Past readability, it also uses a method native to the API instead of having to run a command. Commands are not particularly fast and can slow down script execution, especially if used synchronously like this

So in that sense, it is more "straightforward" by using the simpler, intended solution instead of making one up on your own

[compact epoch]

I see

[amber field]

I'm still workshopping a way to change that

[compact epoch]

Sounds good, thank you very much

can setType do custom blocks as well?

[amber field]

I believe so

[compact epoch]

And is the namespace not needed?

[amber field]

I'd expect Minecraft to assume no namespace to be "minecraft:"

Looks like there is a static method on Blockpermutation to create a permutation, neat.
So here's the thing to understand about blocks in scripting. You have a Block class, which represents the location in the world (and type ID), then you have a BlockPermutation, which represents information about the block at that location (including block states). When we want to change the block state, we apparently need to create a new permutation from scratch, like so. Be sure to import both world and BlockPermutation at the top:

onStepOn(e) {
  e.block.setPermutation(
    BlockPermutation.resolve(e.block.typeId, { my_state: 1 })
  );
}

You can assign other states in the object there, at { my_state: 1 }

I should probably test to see if this works

[compact epoch]

So this means we don't have to define that permutation in the server block.json file, in the permutations field?

[amber field]

You likely still do, scripting can only safely assign states/permutations the game knows about after all

[compact epoch]

Hm, okay, interesting

Yup, that is working, neat!

It is very compacted in comparison to commands

[amber field]

Now if you have multiple block states and they should be preserved, you need to include the old values when resolving a new BlockPermutation. JavaScript has convenient syntax for doing this:

/*1*/  onStepOn(e) {
/*2*/    e.block.setPermutation(
/*3*/      BlockPermutation.resolve(e.block.typeId, {
/*4*/        ...e.block.permutation.getAllStates(),
/*5*/        'custom:bit_1': !e.block.permutation.getState('custom:bit_1')
/*6*/      })
/*7*/    );
/*8*/    console.warn(JSON.stringify(e.block.permutation.getAllStates()));
/*9*/  }

On line 4 we are using the getAllStates() method to obtain the states from before. This returns an object much like the one in my previous example. Then we use the spread syntax ... to add all of its properties to the current object (that we are building).
On line 5 we specify the property we want to set. Here I am simply toggling the bit_1 value on and off by obtaining the old value and grabbing the inverse of it.

So in my pack I have three boolean states: "custom:bit_1", "custom:bit_2", and "custom:bit_3"
e.block.permutation.getAllStates() may return something like { 'custom:bit_1': false, 'custom:bit_2: true, 'custom:bit_3': false }
Then by combining that object's properties with the expression on line 5, I get { 'custom:bit_1': true, 'custom:bit_2: true, 'custom:bit_3': false }, still preserving the value of "custom:bit_2"

It's stuff like that that makes scripting complicated, since you need to be very precise about what you are changing, and to be aware of what exactly the API calls you make are returning.

[tired trellis]

should have reported it

[amber field]

I understand your question better now. Yes, you should still define the permutation if you want the block to change components when the script sets the state. And of course you still need the states defined within the description

[compact epoch]

I see, I understand this

Is interesting how specific we must be for something as simple, I’m not sure what’s my opinion on it yet

This works perfectly:

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

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe((eventData) => {
  eventData.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('kai:hello_world', {
    onStepOn(e) {
      e.block.setPermutation(
        BlockPermutation.resolve(e.block.typeId, {
          ...e.block.permutation.getAllStates(),
          'kai:collision': !e.block.permutation.getState('kai:collision')
        })
      );
      console.warn(JSON.stringify(e.block.permutation.getAllStates()));
    }
  });
});

[amber field]

Scripting is more robust than the old JSON system. With that power comes greater responsibility

(I do miss the old block events though)

[compact epoch]

Agreed, yup

[candid monolith]

I'm not sure how to use it, but there is a linter that detects when you use a command in scripting when there is an API equivalent
https://github.com/Mojang/minecraft-scripting-libraries/tree/main/tools/eslint-plugin-minecraft-linting

[signal scarab]

Have you used es lint before? It's a plugin for it 😄

[tough elm]

does anyone have a good tutorial on how custom components work for the preview?

[sinful stump]

#announcements message

[tough elm]

ty

[candid monolith]

I haven't 🙂
I'm not very familiar with the web ecosystem, I've only used javascript for Minecraft scripting

[tough elm]

im curious tho, it seems like someone could make a library of classes i could just use for each event for blocks or items i can use for custom components

[signal scarab]

https://github.com/microsoft/minecraft-scripting-samples/tree/main/ts-starter
The typescript starter in the scripting samples repo has the linter set up if that's helpful to peep at! 😄

[sinful stump]

Yes...thats what we discussed when it was first introduced

[candid monolith]

Thanks, it's helpful but a little overwhelming. I'm not sure how that would fit in with the rest of my workflow. But it's a helpful example

[solid thistle]

You mainly have to install the required npm packages and download the eslint.config.mjs file to your project root from what i observed

[candid monolith]

tbh. I don't know what a project root is. It's a minecraft world

[tough elm]

Ok haha

[grand elbow]

the new starter has the lint rule, vanilla-data, and math all built in now too 🙂

[tough elm]

Could you explain a little of each? I'm not entirely sure what lint rule means

[signal scarab]

The lint rule checks to see if you are using a command that has a native api already ie if you do runcommand("/setblock") it will suggest you use the native api instead

Why is the scripting starter git in the microsoft github org but the libraries, samples, and editor starter kit are in mojang

[signal scarab]

Is eslint bundled as a non dev dependency within the linting plugin so users don't need to install eslint?
In most cases for eslint plugins eslint itself is just a dev dependency ie, in the typescript eslint plugin

[tough elm]

Thanks for explaining

[grand elbow]

uhhhh, kind of a historical oddity 😆

[grand elbow]

my thinking was that to use the plugin, you will need to depend on eslint and the rule depends on eslint, so its a dependency. plus the lint rule is a dev dependency once in the starter

it's a minor nuance though, but if you do run into problems with that specific set up, feel free to post an issue up

[grand elbow]

vanilla-data is the package @minecraft/vanilla-data that contains enums for the content in the game at a specific version, stuff like MinecraftBlockTypes. @minecraft/math is a javascript only library with vector3 helpers you can use.

[signal scarab]

I decided not to add the plugin to our current project because it blew our packages up by 4x ish , Which isn't in itself an issue. But doesn't seem worth it for linting 😦

[signal scarab]

That makes sense! Looking at some of the big eslint plugins part of their install steps is to install eslint first, possibly breaking it apart would be more "conventional"?

[tough elm]

We import this normally like we do for "@minecraft/server"? Or "minecraft/server-ui"?

I guess it's a matter of getting docs updated

That's gonna be very helpful, and amazing with the changes coming

[solid thistle]

bundling may needed and is preferred

[grand elbow]

it does need bundling to use. The documentation for the typescript starter is going to be updated really soon with the new starter stuff

[wicked grail]

hm... I have a problem, not sure if it's something that is intentional or not with onStepOff

It looks like the boundary for onStepOff isn't the entire block?

customEvent.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('runecraft:cure', {
        onStepOn: (eventData) => {
            const entity = eventData.entity;
            entity.__onEffectBlock = 1;
            const cureInterval = system.runInterval(() => {

                if(entity.__onEffectBlock == 0) {
                    system.clearRun(cureInterval);
                } 
                
                entity.removeEffect('darkness');
                entity.removeEffect('mining_fatigue');
                entity.removeEffect('blindness');
                entity.removeEffect('bad_omen');
                entity.removeEffect('nausea');
                entity.removeEffect('poison');
                entity.removeEffect('slowness');
                entity.removeEffect('weakness');
                entity.removeEffect('wither');
            }, 0)
        },
        onStepOff: (eventData) => {
            const entity = eventData.entity;

                if(entity.dimension.getBlock({ x: entity.location.x, y: (entity.location.y) - 1, z: entity.location.z }).typeId != eventData.block.typeId) {
                    world.sendMessage(`You have stepped off the ${eventData.block.typeId}. Now standing on: ${entity.dimension.getBlock({ x: entity.location.x, y: (entity.location.y) - 1, z: entity.location.z }).typeId}`)
                    entity.__onEffectBlock = 0;
                } 

        },```

this issue only exists at the boundary between two solid blocks

[wicked grail]

I cooked too much

ended up cooking my brain

the boundary part is still true though

[tired trellis]

Didn't notice the new search for players screen. Recommended players feature gives the ability to connect with more players.

[sullen lotus]

i guess this is more of adding xbox friends.

would be more useful if it allows the user to directly join the friend world with it

[tired trellis]

so you literally want strangers to just randomly join your world and make hell of a mess in it

[sullen lotus]

that one are minecraft fault itself honestly

once someone adds you even without you knowing them, they'll able to join your world regardless.

this happened to me everyday.

[tired trellis]

bruh

[sullen lotus]

even i add someone who literally doesn't knows me or read my username, i still can join their world

don't know why but this is really flawed.

unless you turn multiplayer off entirely

The superior slime block

Too bad impulse doesnt work on players

[faint cosmos]

applyKnockback :3

[sinful stump]

Why are they two different things? (Question is for above not for video)

Disappearing block

Oh boo...knocback works for all entities except item entities....impulse works on all entities except players

[faint cosmos]

I’m not sure how both of them work behind the scenes but afaik applyImpulse can cause client desync

Which is why it’s disabled for players

[sinful stump]

:/ and i assume the same reason for item entities for knockback then

[faint cosmos]

Probably

[umbral trail]

https://github.com/JaylyDev/ScriptAPI/tree/main/scripts/player-impulse you could try this, not sure if it is 100% the same as applyImpulse for other entities though

[sinful stump]

one thing Im confused on is directionX: number, directionZ: number, horizontalStrength: number bc all that really matters is the strength and the numbers are just for direction. What's the formula for it? like 1, 1, 1 makes it weak but 1,1,10 makes it strong. If i do 10,10,1 i just go 3 diagonally

[lament moon]

Direction doesn't affect the strength. Final strength is computed as vertical*vec3(0, 1, 0) + horizontal*normalize(vec3(x, 0, z)). Normalization part makes it so that direction is a vector of length 1 so it doesn't affect the kb strength but only defines horizontal direction

[sinful stump]

I see

Like would it stop working? Would the timer reset? Would it stay in the time it was when you left?

So far I’m only doing stuff with onstep

[sinful stump]

Its random tick so... 🤷

[compact epoch]

Leave and rejoin

And see if it stops

[long scaffold]

Does grass stop growing when you leave and rejoin?

[compact epoch]

I mean, it was an issue present with minecraft:random_ticking so I’m seeing if they fixed it lol

But no it doesn’t stops in grass

        }
    })```

oh

[midnight wyvern]

i wish these components were for vanilla blocks as well

[wicked grail]

I guess I need to use applyImpulse

for non players

[midnight wyvern]

applyImpulse is not for players

[wicked grail]

yeah

but I want it to work on everything

[midnight wyvern]

applyKnockback works for most of entities

only items or xp orbs doesn't supports knockback

but all "mobs" does

[wicked grail]

yeah, applyImpulse I would need to just use it's current velocity

honestly, anything other htan players I should be using velocity

I don't think mobs have a view direction?

[compact epoch]

Chad is on our chat

[wicked grail]

weird, are wind charges supposed to be considered range damage? I feel like magic makes more sense

[compact epoch]

Not original

Is the launch pad from fortnite

[wicked grail]

It's not meant to be

[midnight wyvern]

entities does have view vector

but idk about items

and projectiles

ya projectiles does

but not sure about items

[compact epoch]

Pretty sure they don’t, unless they save their owners vector

[midnight wyvern]

but i think they also hove view_direction,

[wicked grail]

still trying to figure out how to do constantly effect application while keeping track of the player effectively

think this will be better for a ticking component when we get that though

[midnight wyvern]

you should just apply Y knockback

you dont need other axis changing

[wicked grail]

I'm not

the only thing being applyed is y knockback

[compact epoch]

You have to change that to on_fall_on when it comes

[wicked grail]

wdym

[midnight wyvern]

double that fall damage when on_fall_on

[wicked grail]

why would I do that lol

[compact epoch]

I mean activate your code when on_fall_on

Is more logical that just stepping on it

Like fortnite launch pads or slime blocks

[wicked grail]

no, it's intended use is to mimic my custom potions

I have a leap potion that does the same effect, players will be able to use them on sponges to make the sponges apply their effect to entities on top of them

[compact epoch]

Ohh

Okay

Feedback; include so when you break the sponge it leaves an area of the potion effect for some seconds

[wicked grail]

nope

[compact epoch]

😔

[sinful stump]

Why view direction and not velcoity?

[wicked grail]

because I want it to go in the direction the player is looking

I kinda just copy pasted my potion effect knockback over

but I can kinda see why it should function differently if it's on a block

[wicked grail]

using velocity also makes it impossible ot send the player upwards to actually go anywhere

I could use view direction for the Y, but it just looks unintuitive if it isn't going in the direction the player is looking imo

[sinful stump]

export class impulse extends onStepOn {
    onStepOn(componentData: BlockComponentStepOnEvent) {
        componentData.entity.applyKnockback(
            componentData.entity.getVelocity().x,
            componentData.entity.getVelocity().z,
            1,
            1
        );
    }
}

[wicked grail]

This just looks janky and uncontrollable

[sinful stump]

Oh well normal people would be running towards the jump pad

[long scaffold]

You didn't add any vertical knockback. And you need to adjust the horizontal knockback too

[wicked grail]

Idk, my intended use is for it to go in the players view direction

player velocity looks unintuitive

[long scaffold]

How do you use slime blocks?

[wicked grail]

counterpoint:These aren't slime blocks

[long scaffold]

Counter-counter point: A player would assume you'd be going in the direction you were going before like a slime block

[wicked grail]

Counter-counter-counter point:A player would reasonably learn that you go in the direction you are looking after 1 use

especially considering that is how the potion functions

[long scaffold]

Right, you have your own potion

Ok then

[sinful stump]

https://github.com/SmokeyStack/adk-lib Custom Component library, first release

[faint cosmos]

I can’t wait for parameters

[compact epoch]

Nice work but meh, kinda disappointing that this happened before Mojang 😔

[opaque remnant]

Parameters would be bitchin

[sinful stump]

Well Mojang has far higher quality standards than me

[sinful stump]

Im working on a plant growth component rn :/ the block property name has to be hardcoded

[compact epoch]

They also had far more time than you to make that lol

[sinful stump]

I think it would be wise to release v1.0 before releasing a vanilla script

[flint cypress]

Just make a component for every possible name?

[sinful stump]

That works for Vanilla...but custom plants with custom growth stages? No

[flint cypress]

You do want players to have the freedom to use their own property names, right?

I’m just saying…

[sinful stump]

regex when /s

[compact epoch]

Of course, but if they only confirmed they’ll provide those scripts in later updates..

Like they did with what components are getting its scripting version

But oh well

A good “template” for a custom component for a plant would be random ticking that changes from state 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, from 3 to 4.

Ping me when you make that

It sounds like you will do it lol

[cerulean marlin]

soon..

[drifting imp]

I can't really see them doing that tbh unless it's specifically for creators to use

[sinful stump]

How you gonna tackle data driven stuff?

Unless they literally hardcode the functions but give us params

Wait.... please no kayla

[drifting imp]

Yeah that's what I was thinking would happen

Or they just don't make those parts data driven

Like instead of adding a custom component for durability loss to the tools, they just make the rest of it data driven and let creators figure how they want to handle the durability loss

[sinful stump]

Durability still should be a component thing...there's damage change for a reason

[drifting imp]

You mean the durability decreasing automatically being a component? Or the current component we have

[sinful stump]

I meant the current component, it has damage chance

[drifting imp]

I think that's only taken into account for armor

[flint cypress]

Tangentially, it doesn't get talked about enough just how weird custom item durability loss is with vanilla components.

What would you want, @sinful stump? Customizable classes for custom components? Custom events/named entries on the object?

[wicked grail]

Did you know that giving a min chance of 0 for damage on durability does nothing

It still takes durability damage 😔

[sinful stump]

Are we referring to durability damage or vanilla events?
The former: Just implicitly damage the durability
The latter: Customizable classes would be amazing since we can just extend it as well. Not sure what you mean by the latter option? Got an example

😅 My current implementation isnt the best

class onStepOff implements BlockCustomComponent {
    constructor() {
        this.onStepOff = this.onStepOff.bind(this);
    }
    onStepOff(_componentData: BlockComponentStepOffEvent) {}
}

export class sayHi extends onStepOff {
    onStepOff(componentData: BlockComponentStepOffEvent) {
        componentData.dimension.runCommand(
            `say D: don't leave me!!! from ${componentData.block.typeId} at ${componentData.block.x}, ${componentData.block.y}, ${componentData.block.z}`
        );

``` but if we had something like this for vanilla events that would be great

[drifting imp]

Why is everything it's own class

[wicked grail]

this looks like too much work

[sinful stump]

bc...im importing it into my main file

[sinful stump]

Bump

Its probably not the ideal but it does help me organize

inb4 cici rants about how i just comitted a war crime atrocity or something

[sinful stump]

Good to know...if it overflows it goes back to the default 😄

[long scaffold]

If what overflows? The block state?

[sinful stump]

Yeah

There's no way to know all the vallues from a block state though

Ignore above

Hmmm nvm

Nvm

Let's see if this owrks!

IT WORKS

RAHHH

[compact epoch]

What does

[sinful stump]

@compact epoch do you have a plant block v1.20.60 i could borrow? Preferabbly that changes model

[compact epoch]

Yea

One sec, lemme get to my pc

With model you mean bones or literally model

Because I have both

[sinful stump]

Which ever one uses bone visibility

[compact epoch]

Okay first one then

I will make a quick new geo because I didn't made the geo

or u just need the code

[sinful stump]

Both would be preferrable

[compact epoch]

geo

let me see if it works with this new geo…

@sinful stump 👆

[sinful stump]

I stopped the plant from reverting to it's original state now

[compact epoch]

Nice!

[wicked grail]

meanwhile

[sinful stump]

👁️ nice content log

[balmy lodge]

I am interested to know how you pulled the "Intentional Game Design" kill, or does that automatically happen (as it is only possible to do that with beds afaik)

[sinful stump]

and respawn anchord

[signal scarab]

That's a nice explosion

[wicked grail]

it's what it says if you use createExplosion

customEvent.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('runecraft:self_destruct', {
        onStepOn: (eventData) => {
            eventData.entity?.dimension.createExplosion(eventData.entity?.location, 3, { allowUnderwater: true, breaksBlocks: true, causesFire: true })
        }
    })```

createExplosion is still ridiculous since damage is tied to radius size, but is nearly exponential

a radius of 3 one shots players..

[wicked grail]

Loving these components and what I can do with them for blocks

[compact epoch]

I don't understand what you made in that vid

you transformed raining to snow?

[junior flame]

💀

[wicked grail]

I wonder

[junior flame]

if you know

[compact epoch]

that was very smooth if it was because you even moved the camera when stepping on it

[wicked grail]

look at me

[compact epoch]

OHHHH

lmao

I did not realized

[tough elm]

Thats pretty awesome

[tough elm]

Is it always one tick (after), or is there beforeEvent options?

Does that make sense? What's the delay

[wicked grail]

it's just using onStepOn

I think there is a forced delay though

because onStepOn changes a players actor property and runs a permutation to change scale

that's why it's not instant

[sinful stump]

Oh wack

If two blocks use the same name for block states but have different values then BlockStates.get('kai:growth').validValues will just choose a random state it seems

Or...scratch that, not random, just the first block that uses that state determined by the alphabetical of the identifeir

This sucks

I could use trySetPermutation I guess? But that wont really work for what I want. I really thought you could just get a block's state's valid values using BlockStates

[wicked grail]

oh yeah got another bug 😏

[sinful stump]

I cri

#1067535608660107284 message

[wicked grail]

shameless bump

[sinful stump]

😔 not shameless. I provided context

[little turret]

These scripting methods are actually big. I have a lot of NPCs that do "RTS-style" work (woodcutters, miners, smelters) and they have to "find blocks" in certain volumes. Currently using "flood-fill" TypeScript impl., but these methods are god-send.

Now if we can just get the pathfinding API exposed into the JS side...

[sinful stump]

😂 yeah, we joke about navigation scripting api

[long scaffold]

Has anyone tried the unloadedChunks bit?

[drifting imp]

I mean we did have .getNavigationResult() for a while but I think that was for the simulated player only?

[little turret]

Ah, so it seems to already be in the JS API then - just not exposed as a stand-alone API.
