Hi I wanna create a datapack for my Server.

[glacial raptor]

Basically if a player dies they should get banned for 24 hours. And a function that checks users gamemode and if its not survival it changes it to survial. I tried following some tutorials but it didnt work.

as an example death.mcfunction

scoreboard objectives add deaths deathCount
scoreboard objectives add ban dummy
scoreboard players set @a ban 0

execute as @a[scores={deaths=1..}] run scoreboard players set @s ban 1
execute as @a[scores={deaths=1..},scores={ban=1..}] run ban @s 24h
execute as @a[scores={ban=1..}] run tellraw @s ["",{"text":"Du bist gebannt für noch ","color":"red"},{"score":{"name":"@s","objective":"ban"},"color":"red"},{"text":" Stunden.","color":"red"}]

[somber kraken]

what is the issue

like i know what you are trying to achieve

but what you get instead?

OHH

[quartz warren]

You need to make sure function_permission_level in the server.properties is set to 4 for a start

[somber kraken]

you cant use ban command in datpaacks by default, so you have to make function permissijon level in server.properties to 4 for ban command to work

[torn oak]

how are you planning on unbanning them

[somber kraken]

pardon

[stone garden]

it should be simple

[torn oak]

you cant /pardon selectors can you?

[quartz warren]

ban command also doesn’t support time iirc

You can use a function macro

Store the banned players names in a storage, then use a macro to pardon them

[torn oak]

yes

then use some sort of time library so its not measured in ticks

[somber kraken]

oh yes

[somber kraken]

yes

[stone garden]

amandin

[somber kraken]

instead of banning i'd recommend to just kick that player every tick :)

[stone garden]

i remember when your thing was aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamandin

[somber kraken]

thats the closest thing you can achieve with datapack only

[quartz warren]

you can kick them every tick yeah

[stone garden]

sigma male

[torn oak]

~~ this is why im learning mods ~~

[somber kraken]

whatever you wanna say it sounds like it better be in #🍔┃off-topic-and-media

[quartz warren]

to know when time has passed fully, you can get the system time using a command block’s LastOutput NBT (it says the time that it runs in the output)

[torn oak]

that still shows the join and leave message though doesn't it

[somber kraken]

oh i was thinking of doing that too

[quartz warren]

tru

[stone garden]

me to

[torn oak]

which needs command blocks enabled in server properties

[quartz warren]

banning them would be just as easy

[stone garden]

i dont know how to do the strikethrough thing tho

[quartz warren]

tru

[somber kraken]

nah

[quartz warren]

#🍔┃off-topic-and-media, it’s ~~ before and after tho

[stone garden]

just schedule it every 24hrs to stop

[quartz warren]

this isn’t a good idea

[stone garden]

and kick them every tick

[somber kraken]

thats unnecessary nbt manipulation when you can use schedule 24h or whatever seconds

[quartz warren]

bad idea lol

it doesn’t keep context

[somber kraken]

or scoreboard

[quartz warren]

also server restarts

[glacial raptor]

that the functions cant be loaded. wait 1 sec i try to run the datapack and show you the error

[quartz warren]

or downtime

[somber kraken]

you can work around

[quartz warren]

even for multiple banned people at the same time

[somber kraken]

yup, thats because the reason we described
#1182023290009694259 message

[torn oak]

ticks arent good for stuff like this

[stone garden]

this is true

[quartz warren]

I know

That’s why I said

[glacial raptor]

also the load function outputs an error

[somber kraken]

i mean you can still use scoreboards

[somber kraken]

what is the error?

[stone garden]

wait you get errors?

lol i dont

i usally have to wing it

[quartz warren]

server downtime

[somber kraken]

he's on a server dude..

[somber kraken]

i mean..

[quartz warren]

• how do you increase 1 on a scoreboard if you don’t know the scoreboard holder

[somber kraken]

oh wait i know the perfeKt solution if you know what i am talking about 😏

but

[stone garden]

i dont

[somber kraken]

you can use skript for your task

[somber kraken]

can you send entire datapack?

[glacial raptor]

sure

[stone garden]

only 2kb?

[glacial raptor]

could you send a link to some resources where i can learn writing datapacks

because I absolutely dont know anything about em

[stone garden]

there like command blocks

but more efficent

and better

[somber kraken]

are you certain you wanna do it with datapacks because making it with skript is gonna be easier
skript is a plugin that allows you to write plugins using a very simple syntax

[clear copper]

Quick Look

data/namespace/functions/death.mcfunction:

scoreboard objectives add deaths deathCount
scoreboard objectives add ban dummy
scoreboard players set @a ban 0

execute as @a[scores={deaths=1..}] run scoreboard players set @s ban 1
execute as @a[scores={deaths=1..},scores={ban=1..}] run ban @s 24h
execute as @a[scores={ban=1..}] run tellraw @s ["",{"text":"Du bist gebannt für noch ","color":"red"},{"score":{"name":"@s","objective":"ban"},"color":"red"},{"text":" Stunden.","color":"red"}]```

[stone garden]

lol

forgot

to set it

to your nampspace

[quartz warren]

What’s the point of death.json

[quartz warren]

The namespace is called namespace, it’s fine

[somber kraken]

oh my fricking god, is this a thing?

[stone garden]

oh ok

[somber kraken]

why didnt i know

this is ridiculously good

[quartz warren]

Didn’t announce it but yeah

[glacial raptor]

My server is running on fabric. so i cant use plugins

[stone garden]

bro

[somber kraken]

did flyne make it?

[stone garden]

i could just stop confusing the hell out of people when trying to explain my layout

[glacial raptor]

tbh i just threw my idea into AI

[stone garden]

bruh

[somber kraken]

💀

[stone garden]

ai will never do anything

good for you

[somber kraken]

i mean if you ask it for things it is good at

like essays or python scripting

not minecraft 💀

[stone garden]

if you want premium code you got to bake it yourself

or get help baking it

astol i have a tip for you

[glacial raptor]

ik like c#, cpp whatever isnt a problem for me and i tried to make a datapack fast xD

[stone garden]

functions are made by using .mcfunctions not .json files

[somber kraken]

your load function isnt even called correcntly.. you have it as load.mcfuntion it should be load.mcfunction

[stone garden]

json is for advancments and other stuff just not mcfunctions

[somber kraken]

what ai you used

[stone garden]

astol

another tip

dont rush it takes time

shut up

amandin

[glacial raptor]

gpt 4

[stone garden]

chat gpt

really

[somber kraken]

this ^

[somber kraken]

ic

[glacial raptor]

worth a try ig

[stone garden]

chat gpt is really good for essays

like when i made a essay about baked beans

with chat gpt

[somber kraken]

your datapack is kind of a nonsense to be honest, your only option seems to learn how to make datapacks yourself

[stone garden]

astol

ill give you a making datapack video it really helped me

[somber kraken]

@glacial raptor are you familiar with minecraft commands? have you made stuff with command blocks?

[glacial raptor]

not at all

[stone garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac6V5-KT6Rg&list=PLpjtAMQmETlSOZzZbQOmoU87js78dZGbO&index=14

here astol

it tells you the basics

then theres command videos that he does to

[glacial raptor]

alright

[stone garden]

and if that doesnt work always get help and take your time

[somber kraken]

ok, let me gather you basically everything you need in 1 place

[stone garden]

oh ye

btw

@glacial raptor

what version are you planning on this datapack

[somber kraken]

first you should watch this playlist till 10th video and you can pretty much skip the first video since its telling you nothing. every video is 7-14 minutes or so
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4ZS2guXqa_jVrj73ZBl4zkkz_BdEVEb5
you may just watch it briefly

then you just go and watch these in given order but here as you watch the video you should immediately go test it
https://youtu.be/ac6V5-KT6Rg?si=dzOwtohZVppZrOSq
https://youtu.be/EBsEDkFpPlI?si=RBCBpsqF5oHqeU6X
https://youtu.be/-5EmWJguggA?si=MPY14_eWiWXcmSez
https://youtu.be/BF4MZHDsLPY?si=vMfVXx3vI2NMpCOh
https://youtu.be/9j8nNL3oBWo?si=uuTNx8rqjWPxw59r

check out this too https://discord.com/channels/935560260725379143/1167509112377069618

and that alone is gonna get you very strong basic knowledge
@glacial raptor

[stone garden]

AYYYYYYYYYY

[somber kraken]

thatss like

[stone garden]

you suggested the same making datapck one that i suggested

[somber kraken]

yea

i watched it when i first made datapack

lol

[stone garden]

me to like 5 days ago

[somber kraken]

ong

[stone garden]

i autcally need to watch that playlist

[glacial raptor]

1.20.2

[glacial raptor]

thank you a lot!

[clear copper]

If someone has helped you resolve your question, make sure to thank them by typing thanks @user 🤝

[somber kraken]

ooh thats the best version for making datapacks

[stone garden]

you will ne to put 18 instead of 6

in the pack.mcmeta

[somber kraken]

it doesnt matter at all, you can even put 3 it will still work all good

[glacial raptor]

already tried with 18 didnt work

[stone garden]

it works for me

sense you used ai it got some stuff wrong causing it to not workin

[somber kraken]

most helpful tip: dont use ai to write commands for you

you can use it to figure out some math formulas and then implement in datapack, but no more

[quartz warren]

I did

[somber kraken]

oh

great job on it

[stone garden]

what did he make?

[somber kraken]

quick look

[somber kraken]

it fails to open load.mcfuntion because of the wrong file extension, is this intentional

oh wait

no im probably mistaken

its old iteraction so it maybe expired and i cant use it

[clear copper]

Quick Look

data/namespace/functions/death.mcfunction:

scoreboard objectives add deaths deathCount
scoreboard objectives add ban dummy
scoreboard players set @a ban 0

execute as @a[scores={deaths=1..}] run scoreboard players set @s ban 1
execute as @a[scores={deaths=1..},scores={ban=1..}] run ban @s 24h
execute as @a[scores={ban=1..}] run tellraw @s ["",{"text":"Du bist gebannt für noch ","color":"red"},{"score":{"name":"@s","objective":"ban"},"color":"red"},{"text":" Stunden.","color":"red"}]```

[somber kraken]

it does work

sorry for the ping lol

[cerulean pewter]

dirty traitor

[somber kraken]

blud really took it personally

[cerulean pewter]

quiet you treasonous scoundrel

[somber kraken]

im a datapacker tho

[cerulean pewter]

(im joking)

[somber kraken]
