How to make Iron ore drop 3d iron ore block instead of 2d raw iron item

[remote crest]

Is something like this even possible?

[midnight epoch]

Yes

[remote crest]

How exactly would I be able to do this? I’m trying to make the ore block drop instead of the raw iron like it used to back then

Should’ve specified I’m trying to mainly make this happen on survival mode

[midnight epoch]

Do you want to do this by script, by commands?

[remote crest]

I’m really sorry I should have alllsoo mentioned that I’ve never done something like this before

But I’m guessing script?

The easiest way (outside of Silk Touch enchant) is to change the block loot to drop the new item instead (using a lower, possibly negative, priority where applicable).

This can also be achieved via hooking into the Block Break event as the trigger as well, but that option is more computationally expensive, because it is still looking up the old loot table, whereas just changing the Loot Tables directly is much better for the processing.

[remote crest]

And how and where can that be achieved?

That part I'm still working on learning in the current version of Minecraft.
-# it was much easier back in 1.7.10

But I'd start with using the most recent format version.
-# I'm presuming you're using Bridge v2 IDE.

Beyond that, you will want to look into how to create custom blocks (also available on that same site), and then you might want to look up the Molang documentation on the Microsoft Minecraft website.

Should’ve also mentioned I also wanted to do this for 1.18 and not exactly the recent version of Bedrock my bad…..

[remote crest]

Would it be slightly simpler to do by commands or would it be the same? I’m really new to anything like this

[lethal nexus]

Yes

I think commands are different for this in 1.18 and you’ll have to find an old tutorial but basically save a block of raw iron in a structure block then do /execute at @e[name=“raw iron”] run structure load nameofstructureyoumadeabove ~~~

And then in a chain command block above just kill all raw iron

the name= part might be slightly different you have to make it the name of the raw iron item when it’s dropped and i forget if that’s capitalized

The execute command might’ve worked differently back then

[remote crest]

Closest I got to it doing something or at least it not giving my Syntax Errors was something like

/execute @e [name="Raw_Iron"] ~~~ structure load mystructure:RawErn 44 62 71 0_Degrees none false true

This which I know prob won’t make sense but at that point I was just messing around with stuff

Gave me a no targets matched selector message instead

[lethal nexus]

Yea you need to find a old tutorial on how to use execute because they updated it a lot

Also why are you loading the structure at specific coordinates? Idk how to specify the execute is happening at the entity in an older version but don’t think that’s necessary

[remote crest]

Oh idk I was just trying anything atp

Would I have to type something specific to make it spawn anywhere it’s used?

Also I’ll continue to try finding a tutorial for 1.18 bedrock cuz I haven’t had much luck yet lol

[remote crest]

Yeah I’m not sure if I can find a tutorial that exactly explains what I’d need for the the whole [name=] part unfortunately…..

[lethal nexus]

The name is either “Raw Iron” or “raw iron” I believe

[lethal nexus]

If you can specify something happens at the entity all you have to is put ~~~ to tel other command block to run the command at the entities position

[lethal nexus]

Why 1.18 again?

[remote crest]

Oh it’s just personal preference really

Also checked I think it’s raw_iron?? Not too sure

[remote crest]

So I got the load structure command working by itself

But for some reason whenever I try it with the execute command no matter what I type or do it just won’t do anything??

[midnight epoch]

Ok just do this:

Repeat command block:
tag @a[hasitem={item=raw_iron}, c=1] add raw_iron_tag

Connected chain command block:
clear @a[tag=raw_iron_tag, c=1] raw_iron 0 1

Connected chain command block:
give @a[tag=raw_iron_tag, c=1] iron_ore 1

Connected chain command block:
tag @a[tag=raw_iron_tag, c=1] remove raw_iron_tag

It will just change the raw iron by iron ore

In inventories

[remote crest]

Oh cool that one worked for inventory!

Now would there be any way to make iron ore block drop when you mine the block instead of raw iron??

[midnight epoch]

Loot tables I think

[remote crest]

Oh right

Gonna try looking up a tutorial for that cuz I have even less of an idea on what to do there lol

Thanks!

think this is what youre looking for

i think you could do something like /execute @e[type=item,name=raw_iron] (then your structure load command)

[remote crest]

Already tried and a couple of other similar things it seems no matter what I still get a syntax error around the for the raw_iron command

Don’t understand why though since that’s exactly how it’s written

[lethal nexus]

What’s the error

It’s entirely possible it’s not raw_iron

I’ll ask somewhere else

[remote crest]

Something like

syntax error: unexpected “”: at “=raw_iron]>><<“

[lethal nexus]

It’s missing something after that that it expects I suppose

[remote crest]

What could it be? I’ve tried a couple things but haven’t gotten any different results

[midnight epoch]

Try item.raw_iron.name

[surreal zenith]

I wouldn't try to select items by name, the name depends on the host's language

[remote crest]

Atp I feel I could be doing something wrong? cuz this is all i ever get.....

syntax errors

[lethal nexus]

Type refers to type of entity

There is no raw iron entity

It should be like type=item,name=raw_iron although again idk if it’s called raw iron

[lethal nexus]

I have confirmed the name on the ground is “Raw Iron”

[remote crest]

So how would the command be typed in full then? Cuz I swear I’m tryin every possible way rn and I’m still getting same results……

[lethal nexus]

I don’t really know tbh I don’t know how the old command works and I couldn’t check it if I tried because idk how to downgrade Minecraft

Are you sure you can’t update to like 1.20

[remote crest]

I use the fanmade Bedrock Launcher

But also I was actually able to make it work not with iron ore but at least with honeycomb block! Now there’s just one more issue

It spawns/loads like 5 full stacks of iron ore
