Hello, I am trying to add a datapack in which you right click one item on certain blocks and it will change the block- like bonemeal i guess. Is there an easy way to do this?

#

Not necessarily an easy way, but it's not super hard either. You can implement right click detection on any item easily, and have the function that gets run by it so a raycast to find the block that's being looked at

#

Which one would work if I tried to use a wind charge? But not throw it but just right click an item with

jagged gazelle Sep 9, 2025, 3:37 PM

#

Is there a specific reason you want to use a wind charge?

crude marlin Sep 9, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

Cuz its like wind, like oxygen for oxidizing copper

jagged gazelle Sep 9, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

Well that's very different from what you asked, because that's a projectile you throw

crude marlin Sep 9, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

what would u recommend u think?

#

or is it possible to detect the blocks to be detected by being hit by it?

jagged gazelle Sep 9, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

Sort of. If you want to use wind charges then you need to make a marker or something ride the wind charge when it gets thrown, and then run a ticking function as and at that marker that checks if it doesn't have a vehicle, then if it doesn't, check the block in front of it to see if it's copper

#

A little more complex

crude marlin Sep 9, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

Do u have any recommendations on how to learn how to do this?

proper garnet Sep 9, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

crude marlin Cuz its like wind, like oxygen for oxidizing copper

You can change an item's texture btw

jagged gazelle Sep 9, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

Right but I assumed they wanted to use the actual properties of wind charges

jagged gazelle Sep 9, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

crude marlin Do u have any recommendations on how to learn how to do this?

By trying to do it and asking for specific help in here on part of the task when you get stuck

crude marlin Sep 9, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

ok ty

crude marlin Sep 10, 2025, 12:07 AM

#

ok sorry for the stupidity and ignorance but how do i summon 1 marker on the wind charge, cuz i m just thinking putting a summon marker if wind charge is present but i know that would just add hundreds of markers

jagged gazelle Sep 10, 2025, 12:14 AM

#

Well ideally you're only running the function once via an advancement when the wind charge is consumed/used, and that would run a function as and at all nearby wind charges that don't already have a marker passenger. That function would then summon a marker and use the ride command to make it mount the wind charge

crude marlin Sep 10, 2025, 12:17 AM

#

ok tysm

crude marlin Sep 10, 2025, 1:17 AM

  "criteria": {
    "thrown_wind": {

#

would this work?

jagged gazelle Sep 10, 2025, 1:42 AM

#

Give it a try

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 2:24 PM

#

ok i am super stumped

#

execute if entity @e[type=wind_charge,nbt=!{Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:iron_golem"}]}] at @e[type=wind_charge,nbt=!{Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:iron_golem"}]}] run summon minecraft:pig ~ ~2 ~ {CustomName:"marker"}

#

i got this running first

#

and then this execute if entity @e[type=wind_charge,nbt=!{Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:marker"}]}] at @e[type=wind_charge,nbt=!{Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:marker"}]}] run summon minecraft:marker ~ ~2 ~ {CustomName:"oxidize_marker"}` i have this function going

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

Don't check NBT, use a predicate
What's the relationship between the first and second command? The first one has an iron Golem passenger, but the second looks for a marker passenger?
You don't need to do if entity ... and then an at @e... with the exact same target selectors. Just go straight into the at @e
What exactly isn't working?

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

Oh woops, i was using an iron golem to test it out

#

and it just kept summoning iron golems

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 2:32 PM

#

Well that's not the command responsible for summoning iron golems, seems like its spawning either a pig or a totally different marker.

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

idk why i messed it up so poorly

#

i just edited and sent it

#

lemme send the actual thing

#

/execute if entity @e[type=wind_charge,nbt=!{Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:marker"}]}] at @e[type=wind_charge,nbt=!{Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:iron_golem"}]}] run summon minecraft:marker ~ ~2 ~

#

  "condition": "minecraft:entity_properties",
  "entity": "this",
  "predicate": {
    "passenger": {
      "type": "minecraft:wind_charge"
    }
  }
}```

#

and how is this for the predicate?

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

Well that is checking if the entity has a wind charge for a passenger, not a marker, and you also aren't actually using the predicate. predicate=!<this predicate id> should replace your nbt=!...

#

You also didn't do any of the other things I said

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 3:03 PM

#

sorry for the command i was showing what i was actually using before u said anything

#

so would
/execute at @e[type=wind_charge,predicate=!wind_check_ride] run summon marker work?

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

That will summon a marker at the position of every wind charge that doesn't meet the predicate, yes

#

But you need to instead run a new function as and at it, then summons a marker and then makes that marker ride the wind charge (so it no longer meets the predicate, if you fixed it)

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

jagged gazelle But you need to instead run a new function as *and* at it, then summons a marker...

so a function that has an execute for summon, and then after a ride?

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

No execute necessary for the summon, but yes

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

Should I add any tags? to either the marker or wind charge?

#

And what do you mean by run a new function as and at it? sorry for my ignorance

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

Presumably you'd want them, yes

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

crude marlin And what do you mean by run a new function as and at it? sorry for my ignorance

execute as @e[...] at @s

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 6:19 PM

#

And would that be for summoning the marker?

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

That would be how you run the function that summons the marker and makes it ride the wind charge.

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 6:25 PM

#

crude marlin ```{ "criteria": { "thrown_wind": { "trigger": "minecraft:consume_it...

oh i thought that this did that

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 6:47 PM

#

That runs the reward function as the player.

#

Advancement runs function as and at player -> Function includes command that executes as and at the nearest wind charge without a passenger -> Function summons a marker and makes it ride the wind charge

#

I cannot be any more plain than that

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

im so sorry for my ignorance

#

idk why this sometimes takes so long for me to understand, im sorry

#

I think i messed up somehow, i did it so it runs a function that says test when i throw a windcharge and nothing comes out

#

{
  "criteria": {
    "thrown_wind": {
      "trigger": "minecraft:consume_item",
      "conditions": {
        "item": {
          "items": "minecraft:wind_charge"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "requirements": [
    [
      "thrown_wind"
    ]
  ],
  "rewards": {
    "function": "oxidize:marker_wind"
  }
}```

#

then oxidize:marker_wind function just has say test, but nothing

#

ty for the help btw

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

Are you able to grant the advancement in chat?

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

sorry for the delay, but yes i am

#

that makes it say test in chat

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

if there is no detection for checking a wind charge being used, would it be easier for it to be any wind charge?

jagged gazelle Sep 11, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

Technically, but do you want it to apply to every wind charge?

crude marlin Sep 11, 2025, 11:23 PM

#

it can be, regardless i figured it out u cant detect wind charge consumed via advancements only statistics- so i used that with a scoreboard function

#

my problem is now trying to figure out how to make it so when it "explodes", it detects that it does and changes the copper blocks to an age later (copper>exposed>weathered>oxidized)

#

would it be an execute command checking if a marker has no "ride" that it will run a function?

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 12:13 AM

#

Correct

crude marlin Sep 12, 2025, 12:16 AM

#

jagged gazelle Correct

how could i do that radius splatter of changing blocks tho?

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 12:16 AM

#

I'd recommend placing a configured feature with the /place command

#

Probably a disk, maybe a random patch

crude marlin Sep 12, 2025, 12:21 AM

#

sorry never used the place command, sorry again about ignorance, would this be a structure i make on my own?

#

Im looking at the configured feature generator and i am def confused sorry

#

idk how to achieve this to this

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

Not a structure, just a JSON file

#

Nevermind, it's gonna be too complex for you

crude marlin Sep 12, 2025, 1:14 AM

#

sorry

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

Just have the marker check nearby blocks to see if they're each of the various copper block states, and if they are, have a chance to change them to the next oxidation level

#

execute if blocks a bunch of times

crude marlin Sep 12, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

so it would be simpler to do a box then like a cricular radius?

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 1:16 AM

#

Not necessarily

#

With this method you can do either, the shape is irrelevant

crude marlin Sep 12, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

so when u mean a bunch of times do u mean for every variant of copper?

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 1:32 AM

#

Yep

crude marlin Sep 12, 2025, 1:54 AM

#

how would i do the chance, sorry again

jagged gazelle Sep 12, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

A random_chance predicate

how would i do the have a change to change them, this is what i have but i feel like this is incorrect and too much /execute if predicate oxidize:random75 run execute if blocks ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 ~ ~ ~ masked at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] run fill ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 minecraft:exposed_copper replace minecraft:copper_block

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

The use of the predicate looks fine

#

But you never ever need to write run execute. The command runs exactly the same without it, but including it is worse for performance

#

You probably also need the at @e[...] before the if blocks ...

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

jagged gazelle But you never ever need to write `run execute`. The command runs exactly the sam...

/execute if predicate oxidize:random75 if blocks ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 ~ ~ ~ masked at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] run fill ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 minecraft:exposed_copper replace minecraft:copper_block This didnt seem to work

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

jagged gazelle You probably also need the `at @e[...]` before the `if blocks ...`

^^^

#

Also what is the armor stand for?

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

oh sorry i changed it so i could see it

#

there

#

/execute at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] if predicate oxidize:random75 if blocks ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 106 -58 20 masked at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] run fill ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 minecraft:exposed_copper replace minecraft:copper_block

#

i changed it to this and it kinda works execute at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] if predicate oxidize:random75 at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] run fill ~2 ~2 ~2 ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 minecraft:exposed_copper replace minecraft:copper_block

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:06 PM

#

great

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

But idk if it’s the chance or not but sometimes it just doesn’t do it, after I threw it like 10 times

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

You're sure you're testing on exposed_copper blocks and not waxed_exposed_copper blocks, or some other exposed copper block variant?

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

Yea def regular blocks

#

No wax

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

Then you have some logic error somewhere

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

im guessing tho there is no way to have each individual block go thru the random chance predicate

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

There is, just means more commands that just replace a single block position

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

jagged gazelle There is, just means more commands that just replace a single block position

just a lot of setblock?

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

They would still be fill commands so you can use replace I believe

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

How would I do that then for 75% for every block?

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

By having a command for every block that also includes the predicate

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

like this? /execute at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] if predicate oxidize:random75 run fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ minecraft:exposed_copper replace minecraft:copper_block

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

Yep

crude marlin Sep 13, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

this is correct for 75% chance btw right?

{
  "condition": "minecraft:random_chance",
  "chance": 0.75
}

jagged gazelle Sep 13, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

Yep

crude marlin Sep 14, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

jagged gazelle Yep

for some reason this command only really works if i throw the windcharge below me while i stand on the copper
execute at @e[type=marker,tag=throwncharge] if predicate oxidize:random75 run fill ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 ~2 ~2 ~2 exposed_copper replace copper_block
