You can simply add a scoreboard with the deaths objective and it does that automatically.

[steady moon]

in the datapack

[bronze sparrow]

In your load function

[steady moon]

so load.json?

[bronze sparrow]

if you want to display it as well, you need 2 commands.

the load.json is only the function tag that tells minecraft which functions are the load functions.

tags are basically a list of id's

View this guide on datapack.wiki: https://datapack.wiki/guide/getting-started/

[bronze sparrow]

I suggest looking at this

it explains all of this and where to put the files.

[steady moon]

wait u can make discs using datapacks?

i wanted to make that but i thought it was modded only

i guess if this is correct from the tutorial

i put in it like this

/scoreboard objectives add death deathCount {"Text":"Death Count"}

wait is it a json or mcfunction the load one

wait

[slate heart]

☝️

check that out, it explains everything about beginner's guide

[bronze sparrow]

you need two files.

data/minecraft/tags/function/load.json

and

[slate heart]

uh

[steady moon]

fine i used the extention it help me generate the starting folders

[bronze sparrow]

data/namespace/function/load.mcfunction

[bronze sparrow]

.

[slate heart]

make a folder in minecraft called tags then inside of that a folder called function

and put your tick.json and load.json there

[steady moon]

oh damn i forgot it did that

ill keep the template just incase next time i wanna do it

[slate heart]

ok

[steady moon]

done now where do i init the scoreboard

[slate heart]

load.mcfunction

[slate heart]

✅

you're done

[slate heart]

resolve question 👆

[steady moon]

still not really done

so now when i /reload it doesnt sen the say command

[slate heart]

put the datapack

in your wold

[steady moon]

well i know how to do that i just now wanna know to make the scoreboard

[bronze sparrow]

you can make it visible with scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar death

[steady moon]

load?

[slate heart]

yes

no wait

do with commands

do /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar death

[bronze sparrow]

you can put it in the load function if you want

[bronze sparrow]

I just said that

[steady moon]

well here is the thing the load doesnt work for some reason

[slate heart]

is your minecraft folder like this?

[steady moon]

when i do /reload it no wwork

[steady moon]

holdd

[bronze sparrow]

what does the log say

[slate heart]

make a folder inside of tags

called function

and put your load.json and tick.json there

i already said that 😔

[steady moon]

oh my

hold im sorry for my idiotacy

[slate heart]

no it's okay

i was confused when i first started

datapacking

[steady moon]

if u want i can show it it over VC

now there it is

it works

i put it in functions not function

bro this game

is there a way to remove the display an reput it cause i wanna reload its colors

hmm

[bronze sparrow]

scoreboard objectives modify

this does that iirc

(with the correct sub commands and arguments of course)

[steady moon]

wait what is even IIRC

[bronze sparrow]

if i remember correctly

[steady moon]

o

well i modify the objective to update display?

[slate heart]

yes

you can change it's color

[steady moon]

but its weird when i try the & colors

[crimson nebula]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Text_component_format

you don't use & colors

[slate heart]

✅

[crimson nebula]

https://misode.github.io/text-component/

[steady moon]

when i reload it resets

[bronze sparrow]

or that

[slate heart]

yes

[steady moon]

i guess i used this

https://www.birdflop.com/resources/rgb/

[slate heart]

you removed the death when you reloaded and made a new one with those colors

[steady moon]

ye i wanna like update display not reset the count

[slate heart]

do /kill @a

and it should show

[steady moon]

i killedd my self it works fine but i wanna not reset it when i reload

like just reload the display

[bronze sparrow]

it shouldn't reset at all

unless you have a command that does it

[slate heart]

remove the scoreboard objectives remove death in your load.mcfunction

[steady moon]

i remove the old one and add a new one

[steady moon]

yeah and how do i reset the display

[crimson nebula]

reset display to what?

[steady moon]

the scoreboard

on the left

[slate heart]

why do you wanna reset the display

if you dont wanna reset it

[steady moon]

i wanna reset how the display looks if i wanna change its color

[slate heart]

modify it

[steady moon]

what should i modify it with

[bronze sparrow]

the modify sub command

the display name

https://de.minecraft.wiki/w/Befehl/scoreboard#objectives_modify

[steady moon]

so like this

instead of making it with the name i make it with no name then modify the name to it?

[bronze sparrow]

you don't need that

you only need the modify if you want to change it afterwards

[bronze sparrow]

but for the initial creation, you can just put it in the add command

[steady moon]

it works now

nice one for my first

can i add like a skull emoji or like put text instead of int into the scoreboard like in hardcore if someone dies in a SMP the scoreboard update saying they are dead

[bronze sparrow]

yes

https://de.minecraft.wiki/w/Befehl/scoreboard#players_display

[steady moon]

wait can i use this to check for blocks under a beacon seeing if u use netherite blocks so it runs an acheievement

[bronze sparrow]

just use an achivement directly

[steady moon]

wait what

[bronze sparrow]

no need to do workarounds

[steady moon]

how?

is there already a check

[bronze sparrow]

we have a construct_beacon trigger

combine it with a location check condition and you can make it only trigger if the player used specific blocks for the construction.

[steady moon]

wait what is the highest level for a beacon in code

like level 4 beacon should be 3?

[bronze sparrow]

idk if this is counted from 0 or 1

try it and see ig

[steady moon]

so after i put in the level

[bronze sparrow]

add it to your datapack and see when it triggers

to make the advancement show up, you need a display field

otherwise it is invisible

[steady moon]

{
  "parent": "minecraft:nether/create_beacon",
  "criteria": {
    "beacon": {
      "conditions": {
        "level": 4
      },
      "trigger": "minecraft:construct_beacon"
    }
  },
  "display": {
    "description": {
      "translate": "advancements.nether.create_full_beacon.description"
    },
    "frame": "goal",
    "icon": {
      "count": 1,
      "id": "minecraft:beacon"
    },
    "title": {
      "translate": "advancements.nether.create_full_beacon.title"
    }
  },
  "requirements": [
    [
      "beacon"
    ]
  ],
  "sends_telemetry_event": true
}

[steady moon]

thats how they did it in the minecraft

but just level 4 i want with blocks

[bronze sparrow]

then they start counting from 1 in this instance

[steady moon]

ye

so now after the first check what should i do

do i do it in 1 check or 2 checks

1 criteria or 2

[bronze sparrow]

first, remove the requirements. It is unnecessary

and the telemetry stuff too

[steady moon]

the criteria?

[bronze sparrow]

what do you want to check?

[steady moon]

full netherite beacon

like when the beacon at full power and bottom blocks are netherite

like all 4 levels

[bronze sparrow]

you don't add another criteria, you add a condition.

conditions use predicates to check for further things.

making the location check predicate will be tedious though.

[steady moon]

im too dumb bro i need someone to explain in a call

[bronze sparrow]

You have to add every block offset from the beacom in the list and tell it which block it has to be.

can't vc rn I am busy with chores

[steady moon]

when u gonna be not busyt

[bronze sparrow]

I won't be free for toda, at least.

[pallid iris]

{
  "display": {
    "icon": {
      "id": "minecraft:beacon"
    },
    "title": "",
    "description": "",

  },
  "parent": "minecraft:nether/create_full_beacon",
  "criteria": {},
  "requirements": [],
  "sends_telemetry_event": true
}

[steady moon]

this is where i am at rn

idk where to put the predicates

[cold knoll]

Well predicates go in data/<namespace>/predicate, but this looks like an advancement, not a predicate

[bronze sparrow]

they mean the location check predicate in the conditions field

it's for checking if the beacon base (all 4 levels) is made out of only netherite blocks

[cold knoll]

Ah

Well it goes in criteria

[steady moon]

if any of u are free to tell me how to do it in a VC

cause im a bit dumb

also sorry for late reply cause i went to play with my friend minecraft

[steady moon]

is this good naming i just searched who made the first ever netherite beacon

it gives 600 XP as rewards idk

cause its hard

when i add advancements i make sure its doable in survival hardcore like dont make advancements bad like "get killed"

still havent gotten the actual predicate yet so it happens when i get a full powered beacon

    "icon": {

  },
  "rewards": {
    "loot": [],
    "experience": 600
  },
  "sends_telemetry_event": true
}

[crimson nebula]

you mean the requirements?

[bronze sparrow]

condition, not requireent

[steady moon]

I mean I don't know how to add the thing u guys said where I need to check for each level if it has netherite
