inner haven
I feel like this should be simple enough, but I literally just need to know if a dropped item is rotten flesh or not. I've tried to find the id and nametag of an item to get this, but it looks like ID isn't the name and neither is the nameTag (it's just blank). I've tried to get all item components, and it just gives me that it's an item. How do I find the type of item it is?

I feel like this should be simple enough, but I literally just need to know if a...
Get the item component
const itemStack = Entity.getComponent('item').itemStack;
console.log(itemStack?.typeId);
I have the component.
I need to ONLY remove() rotten flesh.
What item property has this?
civic idol
no dude, get the item itself.
inner haven
You mean
like construct a new itemstack out of the item entity component
and then get the name from that?
civic idol
```js
const itemStack = Entity.getComponent('item').itemStack;
console.log(itemS...
It should look exactly like this.
Get the component first then get the itemStack
inner haven
So, I have this:
for (const entity of world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities()) {
if (entity.typeId === "minecraft:item") {
}
}
the variable name can be anything but the component set-up should look exactly like that.
inner haven
If I have to make a new itemstack to check for the name out of every dropped item in the world
I feel like that might cause lag
civic idol
So, I have this:
```
for (const entity of world.getDimension("overworld").getEnt...
No you don't make ItemStack, it's just component we just need to grab the component
inner haven
Okay, so then
umbral idol
I'm sleepy
for (const entity of world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities()) {
if (entity.typeId === "minecraft:item") {
const itemStack = entity.getComponent('item').itemStack;
if (itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:rotten_flesh")
return entity.remove()
}
}
for (const entity of Dimension.getEntities()) {
if (entity.hasComponent('item')) {
const itemStack = entity.getComponent('item').itemStack;
console.log(itemStack?.typeId);
}
}```As simple as that.
inner haven
typeId is the item type?
umbral idol
depend on where you access it
on entity its "minecraft:item"
on itemStack its "minecraft:rotten_flesh"
inner haven
Got it.
Now, I do have one more question. Is it possible to stop the loot table of a dead entity from spawning?
Like if I want a certain zombie to not spawn loot upon dying, is that possible?
umbral idol
"/gamerule doMobLoot false" or smt like that
inner haven
True, but I want other mobs to have droppable loot.
Any solution for just a specific zombie?
A component or something?
umbral idol
Meh, just remove the item entity after it spawns
inner haven
Yes, but how?
If it's a zombie, it can spawn carrots, iron ingots, rotten flesh, etc. after dying.
Is it really necessary to manually check for each of its possible loot items, or is there a simpler way?
umbral idol
Remove the item entities spawned on the same tick as when the zombie is killed. Limit it to the radius around the zombie's feet.
I've underlined to empathize something.
inner haven
Okay, but what if the zombie dies in a group of items?
If you kill it, and your inventory is full (thus you aren't picking up items), and it dies in a pool of items on the floor, then what?
umbral idol
Technically, Existing dropped items will have their "age" exceed the minimum for the check.
umbral idol
You know, it's like differentiating newborn and old ones.
Old ones get ignored.
New ones get killed.
Cus new ones have only recently appeared, their "age" would be less than a few ticks compared to old ones.
inner haven
Yes. How do I check for the age (in ticks) of an item?
umbral idol
I'll try to make one, ig
inner haven
I didn't know that was possible.
I'm understanding what you're suggesting, but I don't know how to check for item age.
umbral idol
Yes. How do I check for the age (in ticks) of an item?
you can't, you make it yourself.
system.currentTick retrieve the current world tick
inner haven
Oh, got it.
inner haven
you can't, you make it yourself.
`system.currentTick` retrieve the current worl...
is it system.currentTick or system.currentTick()?
umbral idol
its a property, not a method. So no ()
inner haven
got it.
inner haven
you can't, you make it yourself.
`system.currentTick` retrieve the current worl...
So how do I use this to find out if an item is from the same tick as the dead zombie?
umbral idol
Loot spawns exactly when the entity died iirc.
You could use dynamicProperty to record what tick they got created. With entitySpawn event.
Then in the deadEntity event, get all the items around getEntities(), you can check for items that have their age:
system.currentTick - age <= 1
inner haven
Alright, I'll look into that.
umbral idol
made this in a few minutes
world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({deadEntity})=>{
if (!deadEntity.isValid()) return;
const deadtick = system.currentTick;
if (deadEntity.typeId == "minecraft:zombie") {
const loot = deadEntity.dimension.getEntities({
location: deadEntity.location,
maxDistance: 1,
type: "minecraft:item"
})
.forEach((itemEntity)=>{
if (deadtick - (itemEntity.getDynamicProperty("age")??0) < 1)
itemEntity.remove();
})
}
})
world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe(({entity})=>{
if (!entity.hasComponent("item")) return;
entity.setDynamicProperty("age",system.currentTick)
})
Doesn't take account exp orbs ^
soft needle
"/gamerule doMobLoot false" or smt like that
there is native method for gamerule btw
umbral idol
im lazi- lazee- lazey- lazy
