Paintings and Pots

[white hare]

Gamemode: Adventure
Version:1.21.4

Is there any way to prevent players from knocking down painting or removing plants from potted plants?

Barriers are not an option without some major rebuilding.

[plucky arch]

I'm not an official helper but I think you can make paintings invulnerable through their data

{Invulnerable:1b}

mcstacker.net is good for command help

[white hare]

That's right... I'm kind of hoping there's another way because the summon command is too long... wait... hold on

[plucky arch]

Maybe /data merge entity will help

[snow kite]

you can /data modify an entity I think, can't do it with players but I think you can with every other entity yea

[plucky arch]

Hmm

One sec

@e[type=painting,limit=1,sort=nearest]

It says 'only one entity is allowed' so this will only select the single nearest painting

[white hare]

how do I finish the command?

[plucky arch]

Not sure, hopefully an official helper or someone else knows

[snow kite]

set

either set or merge will work

[plucky arch]

I was thinking set might break the rotation

[white hare]

neither do I tried them before I asked

/data modify entity @e[type=painting,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Invulnerable:1b,variant:"rpanon:birthed_from_tech"} merge from entity @e[type=painting,limit=1,sort=nearest]

I did this and got "Nothing Changed. The specified properities already have these values." but I can still knock it down

Summoning the paint as invulnerable works and is less effort at this point.

I can just F3 + I and edit the command down and run it.

Now... I just need to figure out flower pots

[plucky arch]

Nice

I don't have any ideas for flower pots

[fast pumice]

You were having difficulty because you were trying to use data merge syntax for data modify

[plucky arch]

Maybe summoning an invisible medium slime with no AI, so the hitbox would block access to the flower pot?

[fast pumice]

Either works but they accept different syntax

[fast pumice]

This, but use an interaction entity instead.

[plucky arch]

What's an interaction entity?

[white hare]

Would this still allow the players to walk through the area?

[fast pumice]

An invisible entity that doesn't tick (like markers and display entities) but has a hitbox and can be left/right clicked

[fast pumice]

Yes

[stone frigate]

/data merge entity @n[type=minecraft:painting] {Invulnerable:1b}

[plucky arch]

Interesting

[fast pumice]

Or alternatively data modify entity @n[type=painting] Invulnerable set value 1b

[plucky arch]

Interaction entities width and height defaults to 1 by 1 (according to MCStacker) so it should cover the flower pot with just /summon interaction ~ ~ ~ I think

[fast pumice]

And you can just modify the width and height of course

[plucky arch]

I assume using commands to make interactions glowing would work to see the hitboxes

[stone frigate]

Interaction entities are good but not perfect solution. You can accidentally create un-interactable zone behind the wall

[white hare]

WOOT! That works! It also works for decorated pots that I was just giving up on at this point

[plucky arch]

Yeah kano was suggesting interaction entities for flower pots

[white hare]

Yeah... I don't think I'm going to use them for the painting cause that would double the entity count for the paintings

[plucky arch]

Invulnerable works for paintings

[stone frigate]

oh, flower pots

yes, for flower pots it's a perfect solution

[white hare]

this is going to be a long week... LOL

[stone frigate]

I can tell you a fast command for spawning these if you need

[plucky arch]

Oh yeah f3 + b, that's a better way to check hitboxes

[white hare]

yes please cause I has a lot

[stone frigate]

step on top of the pot and type this command:
execute align xyz run summon minecraft:interaction ~0.5 ~ ~0.5 {height:0.4375,width:0.4375}

this will block only the pot + 1 pixel on each side and +2 pixels on top

[white hare]

Paintings and Item Frames:
[where x equals the target type]
/data modify entity @n[type=x] Invulnerable set value 1b

Flower and Decorated Pots
/summon interaction ~ ~ ~

[plucky arch]

You're a genius

[stone frigate]

i just worked with commands too much = D

[white hare]

do you mind breaking down that command for me? so I can learn what each part does

[stone frigate]

sure

are you familiar with what /execute does?

[white hare]

wait

yeah... it's just the align xyz that I've never used before

[stone frigate]

explain only aling xyz?

it executes command at your coordinates but at .0 .0 .0

[white hare]

in the command I know execute and everything from run to the end

[stone frigate]

and you can choose at which axes

align xz = .0 ~ .0

[white hare]

ok cool!

[stone frigate]

align xy = .0 .0 ~

I think you understand

[white hare]

Yeah I do!

But let me try something

execute align xyz run summon minecraft:interaction ~1 ~1 ~ {height:2,width:1}

I get my axis's mixed up when I don't have my game open to walk back and forth, but this command would allow me to stand next to a specific side of the potted plant/decorated pot combo and summon the interaction around it, right?

[stone frigate]

I tested it and that command summons interaction entity between four blocks

[white hare]

~-1 ~ ~ west
~1 ~ ~ east
~ ~ ~1 south
~ ~ ~-1 north

[edited to correct]

[fast pumice]

I wasn't suggesting using it for the paintings.

[stone frigate]

yes, April068 has already told me

[fast pumice]

Ah the rest of the conversation finally loaded for me

[white hare]

wait... I .0 is not the center of the block is it?

[stone frigate]

.0 .0 .0 is a corner of a block

[white hare]

the northwest one correct?

[stone frigate]

here, got you a command. It summons tall interaction entity 1 block above your legs
execute align xyz positioned ~0.5 ~1 ~0.5 run summon minecraft:interaction ~os ~os ~os {height:2,width:1}
os stands for offset

[white hare]

I don't think that's going to work

it didn't work for a different reason than I expected.

[stone frigate]

for example
execute align xyz positioned ~0.5 ~1 ~0.5 run summon minecraft:interaction ~ ~ ~-1 {height:2,width:1}
summons this:

[white hare]

But let me send you a picture

[stone frigate]

red wool - place where you stand

[stone frigate]

oh

what direction are you looking?

[white hare]

south for this one

[stone frigate]

try this execute align xyz positioned ~0.5 ~ ~0.5 run summon minecraft:interaction ~ ~ ~1 {height:2,width:1}

[white hare]

bingo

Paintings and Item Frames:
[where x equals the target type]
/data modify entity @n[type=x] Invulnerable set value 1b

Flower and Decorated Pots
/summon interaction ~ ~ ~

• More specific commands:
  [Provided by @stone frigate ]
  Flower Pots Alone
  step on top of the pot and type this command:
  execute align xyz run summon minecraft:interaction ~0.5 ~ ~0.5 {height:0.4375,width:0.4375}

Potted Plant and Decorated Pots combo:
[when the pot is to the south of you]
execute align xyz positioned ~0.5 ~ ~0.5 run summon minecraft:interaction ~ ~ ~1 {height:2,width:1}

West: ~-1 ~ ~
East: ~1 ~ ~
South: ~ ~ ~1
North: ~ ~ ~-1

sorry for the ping. but I wanted to make sure your extra work was credited

[stone frigate]

no problem. Pings dont bother me at all

[fast pumice]

Why wouldn't you just go into spectator and position your feet inside the block you want to place inside of, so you don't need to worry about offset?

also who suggested interactions in the first place

[white hare]

shhhhh because that would be way too easy, so it's totally not the right way to do it... LOL /silly

[white hare]

Thank you guys again for all the help!
