Why won't item modifier take data from a container

[patent dust]

[
  {
    "function": "minecraft:set_lore",
    "entity": "this",
    "lore": [
      [
        [
          {
            "nbt": "Items[{Slot:0b}].components.\"minecraft:custom_data\".aeternum-ability_data.type",
            "block": "~ ~ ~",
            "color": "green",
            "italic": false
          },
          {
            "text": " Ability",
            "color": "gold",
            "italic": false
          }
        ]
      ]
    ],
    "mode": "replace_all"
  }
]

This is the file and Items[{Slot:0b}].components."minecraft:custom_data".aeternum-ability_data.type is set to "Activated" but the output looks like this (see image)

@buoyant kiln i can’t see the image, did the bot remove it?

[buoyant kiln]

oof

it did

this was the image

there's just a blank space before "ability"

[frigid kelp]

Can you read other nbt using item modifier?

[buoyant kiln]

nope

this is what the full thing looks like (the ??? is the item name)

and this is the full file

It should work

Could it be that it can’t find the block?

Id try hardcoded coordinates for now

[buoyant kiln]

ill try that

yes

thats it

it can't recognize the block

[frigid kelp]

Then maybe try and find out what "~ ~ ~" relates to

[buoyant kiln]

yea

[frigid kelp]

If it’s the player location, the command location or the world spawn or something

That’s what I could think of

[buoyant kiln]

ok this is really weird

i just used a tellraw command in my function to figure out the location

turns out the location is correct

but it still doesn't work for some reason?

[frigid kelp]

Maybe it uses the location of the executing entity

And not the one where the command is run

Or relative coordinates don’t work at all 🤷

You could move it to storage first and read it from storage in the item modifier

[buoyant kiln]

is there simply no other way?

[frigid kelp]

If this is the case then there is no other way

If this is not the case, there are probably ways

[buoyant kiln]

yeah it does

im stupid

welp

thanks for the help <3
