Hello,
I found out recently that you can enchant any throwable projectile with any enchant such as knockback. So I do wonder how to do that because I want throwed snowball to be able to hit player then they'd get knockback.
I did try experiment many time but couldn't figure it out. /enchant didn't work. I also tried /give @s snowball[enchantments=]
But these both didn't work.

im pretty sure that doesnt work?
faint fog
Yeah but I often told by other people that it is possible in this server. I never found out how it work
Custom enchantment thing
winged karma
You have to make a custom enchantment
faint fog
How does that work?
That's new to me
I assume
its functions similar to json?
In that case, I'd need to add Enchantments folder then add snowball_knockback.json?

You can use this generator to help. You'll put the output of this in a JSON file in your data pack under data/<namespace>/enchantment
https://misode.github.io/enchantment/
I don't think just the straight up knockback effect works here, so you'll probably need to do a post_attack effect that does some other stuff. Possibly run a function and then use a player motion library
winged karma
A "library" is another data pack that others can use to help perform more complicated tasks. Regular player motion like we can do for mobs is impossible, but there are some tricks that can be done using negative explosions or entity hotboxes to simulate player motion, which these libraries can help with so you don't need to make it from scratch each time
I believe this is the most popular choice

I see, thanks

Also for custom enchantment, if it coded and such. Does it appear in like minecraft:enchantments={levels:{'minecraft:snowball_knockback':1}}?
winged karma
If you put it in the minecraft namespace, yes. But I recommend putting it in your own namespace
Though I think you want to use ", not '
faint fog
For some reasons it doesn't enchant

Hello,
I found out recently that you can enchant any throwable projectile with ...
it is possible to enchant throwable or any item with almost any enchant
but the effects aren't guaranteed as the item is converted into entity upon throwing meaning it won't contain any information of enchantment whatsoever
you could make a datapack that gives the snowball tag i think?
and maybe you could detect if the player gets hit by a certain throwable or anything that has custom tag it should be able to trigger some function
winged karma
but the effects aren't guaranteed as the item is converted into entity upon thro...
This is false
tender edge
This is false
but surely there will be a change atleast right?
the throwable gets thrown it doesn't contain any enchantment tags
we can test it in the game with /data
winged karma
Projectiles generally, and snowballs specifically, keep the enchantments of the item that was thrown to spawn it
They get put in the item data of the entity as components
Partly so that custom enchantments like this can work as expected
winged karma

i didn't know that
winged karma
Clearly
winged karma
Mhm
tender edge
soo
winged karma
So stop spamming
winged karma
Yes, it has one or more syntax errors
faint fog
You need to define a slot I believe
Gotcha, I'll test it
tender edge
Yes, it has one or more syntax errors
instead we can detect it with commands and apply whatever we want to do with it yeah?
i mean for example can we detect player getting hitted by the snowball we threw with the enchants on?
faint fog
Hmm, it still doesn't work. I did added slot: mainhand
winged karma
Gotcha, I'll test it
If that doesn't solve it, you'll need to check the output logs to see what errors it brings up when you /reload
faint fog
gotcha
winged karma

Enchantment is easier and more performant.
faint fog
If that doesn't solve it, you'll need to check the output logs to see what error...
It doesn't show anything
But when I did command
It says
Malformed 'minecraft:enchantments' component: 'Failed to get element potions:snowball_knockback missed input: {"potions:snowball_knockback":1}'
I am very confused by that
winged karma
In what way doesn't it work?
faint fog
it doesn't exists basically
winged karma
So then you're either missing the errors that are showing up in logs, or the enchantment is not in data/potions/enchantment in your data pack
faint fog
odd, it is data/potions/enchantment/snowball_knockback.json
faint fog
My apologies for late response but I did check latest log and date log, nothing is there
Is it really weird?
winged karma
Yeah. If the enchantment isn't showing up on the autofill when you try to use /enchant then you must be mistaken about something
It's either not where you think it is or there are errors that you're missing
faint fog
Darn, I'll try find it, I'll let you know by tomorrow
