steel portal

whats the lootmodifier item modifier for?

#

also what vaersion is this for?

#

IC the problem, instead of using an empty_map you have to use a filled_map

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:25 AM

#

where is that empty and filled map?

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:25 AM

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:28 AM

#

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:31 AM

#

can't use somewhy

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:32 AM

#

can you locate the structure

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:33 AM

#

yes

#

i mean

#

structures are working

#

i tried it

#

map is not

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:33 AM

#

within 50 chunks?

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

oh

#

it has seperatation 48

#

and spacing 64

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

also I lied apparently you do not need a filled_map anymore you have to use map

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:35 AM

#

steel portal and spacing 64

you can change the search_radius of the item modifier function (exploration_map)

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:35 AM

#

#

not working even near it

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:36 AM

#

foggy juniper also I lied apparently you do not need a ``filled_map`` anymore you have to use ...

also not a normal map?

#

you have to run the loottable everytime you want to check again

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

still not

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:39 AM

#

are you using any mods?

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:40 AM

#

nope

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

try looking into the logs...

steep hollowBOT Jul 4, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

Logs

When making or debugging Minecraft datapacks, it is useful to have the Minecraft logs open in order to view errors quickly.

To open the logs:

Enable the logs in the Minecraft Launcher (see image)
Start Minecraft

The logs should open in a separate window. Datapack errors are shown in the when you /reload and are almost always in red text or yellow text.

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:42 AM

#

But there are not errors

#

it is working fine

foggy juniper Jul 4, 2025, 11:42 AM

#

none? even when running the loottable?

steel portal Jul 4, 2025, 11:42 AM

#

and i copied maps from dnt and changed namespace and structure names

#

i also run trough dnt few times

#

no functions or smt other

#

for maps

#

so it should be working fine

#

i only don't know why aren't maps showing themselves when i right click

steel portal Jul 7, 2025, 5:11 AM

#

@steep hollow so can somebody help me?

rigid hazel Jul 7, 2025, 5:35 AM

#

Simplify the problem. Instead of doing the whole loot table with everything you want the item to have, try just doing the exploration map function

#

Then if it still doesn't work, we can narrow down further

#

Or if it does work, we can figure out what thing breaks it when added back in

steel portal Jul 7, 2025, 5:41 AM

#

How to make exploration map mcfunction? can you help with code because i have no experience with mcfunction, only json

You have a loot table up here which includes the exploration_map function. just remove everything that isn't necessary from it, specifically all the other functions

#

Use Misode if you need to

steel portal Jul 7, 2025, 3:06 PM

#

?

#

i dont understand

#

what is not necessary?

rigid hazel Jul 7, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

... The set components function and the reference function...?????
