#

like create a custom item where when you right click you get certain effects? Does anyone have an example or somethign?

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 3:28 AM

#

you would use an item componenet and use an effect for the playerinteract event

untold heron Aug 31, 2025, 3:29 AM

#

do you have an example?

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

so you have your item right?

{
    "format_version": "1.21.90",
    "minecraft:item": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "ns:custom_weapon",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "items"
            }
        },
        "components": {
          "ns:custom_weapon": {}
        }
    }
}```
this applies the component `ns:custom_weapon` which you would then register
```js
import { world, system } from "@minecraft/server";

const CustomWeaponComponent = {
    onUse(event) {
      event.source.addEffect(/*...*/)
  }
};

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ itemComponentRegistry }) => {
    itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("ns:custom_weapon", CustomWeaponComponent);
});```

#

okay but how would i add effects to it on right click with a cooldown

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 3:52 AM

#

untold heron okay but how would i add effects to it on right click with a cooldown

so you want there to be a cooldown?

untold heron Aug 31, 2025, 3:54 AM

#

yea

#

so they cant spam the ability

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

you would add the cooldown componeent and the use_modifier componenet

{
    "format_version": "1.21.90",
    "minecraft:item": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "ns:custom_weapon",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "items"
            }
        },
        "components": {
          "minecraft:use_modifiers": {
            "use_duration": 0.1 // time for the weapon to use in secs
          },
          "minecraft:cooldown": {
            "category": "effect_use", // you can put anything in here
            "duration": 2 // time for the weapon to cooldown in seconds
          },
          "ns:custom_weapon": {}
        }
    }
}```

and in the script turn the `onUse` to `onCompleteUse`

#

so script would look like this:

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

const CustomWeaponComponent = {
    onCompleteUse(event) { // changed
      event.source.addEffect(/*...*/)
  }
};

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ itemComponentRegistry }) => {
    itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("ns:custom_weapon", CustomWeaponComponent);
});```

untold heron Aug 31, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

i change the zip to .mcpack and download it like that

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

you should put your BP and RP in them

#

it basically loads faster

#

and no need to import .mcpack

untold heron Aug 31, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

#

how is it empty

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

put your BP and RP directories respectovely in them

young dome Aug 31, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

untold heron how is it empty

cuz importing makes it go to behavior_packs and not the development version
