/execute on Tutorial for Minecraft [1.19.4+]

[@StrategicTurtle]

I'm excited that Mojang is making it much easier for players to customize gameplay without resorting to modding.

[@kyleyoung2464]

i dream that one day datapacks will be as powerful as mods.

[@kcoolthegamer]

Wait did Java not have /execute before recently?

[@kyleyoung2464]

@@kcoolthegamer we did have it, /execute *on* is new.

[@StrategicTurtle]

@@kcoolthegamer Java has had the execute command for awhile. Mojang is just adding a new origin command that allows players to target entities based on who thay are attacking, who is attacking them, if they were just summoned, if they are riding another entity, etc. It's essentially an update to the command that makes it more versatile.

[@WinnerMin17]

❤️ Some mods are inspiration for my cmd creations too

[@dyrania]

This entire 1.19.4 command addons are exactly what I need for a Mount datapack. This potential is on-par with modding if not surpassing it in some areas. While we obviously still lacking a seamless graphical alterations that are not resource packs, we have the capabilities of doing so much now.

[@dontusethisanymorelol5281]

whats wrong with using resource packs? they are vanilla and we are most likely not getting any alternative any time soon

[@_Cubicake]

its physically impossible to surpass modding, as any events you can trigger with commands can be done with java code

[@kyleyoung2464]

@@dontusethisanymorelol5281 they have limits.

[@peterlewis2178]

@@dontusethisanymorelol5281 For me, the main issue I have is that they're separate from datapacks. I wish there was a way to link them together in one file/folder so people don't have to download both a datapack and resource pack for certain datapacks to function properly.

I have been seeing some of your vids when i had question about mc etc. and i gotta say, ur a great yt'ber, keep up the good work man! :)

[@darkendgamin2339]

You pronounce vehicle funny lol. Great video though! This new update adds so many possibilities!

[@blaze4281]

Definitely the on origin command seems to be the most useful as I can find ways of now executing things on that very arrow for custom, effects applied to it or affecting a certain radius around the entities if near it, etc, as now you don't need invisible armor stands teleporting to the custom arrow or anything like that or executing if an entity has a certain affect every tick, now you can just check who shot that arrow, and the arrows preexisting tags and more or less go from there, you can summon a mob at that location, you can spawn tnt, and more.

[@Momibelle]

Thank you so much for these videos! I am trying to get our Middle students kids to 'engage' with Minecraft map-making, and this is really helpful! Cheers!

I'm making so many boss battle with these new toys

[@markpan]

Today is a good day for the Minecraft Command Community

[@fereba5594]

Love your videos. Also i would love to see mojang add something like a predicate to detect if a player is right clicking and a predicate for left clicking. Maybe also a way to give entity's custom model data

[@Cl0udWolf]

Ofc that would be great but the staff have said it’s very difficult to implement direct left and right click detection so it probs will be a while

[@fereba5594]

​@@Cl0udWolf thank you for replying. Yeah i can understand that it's pretty difficult to implement this but i am still hoping that in the future we will have something like that

[@Edward.mike2892]

Thanks for the tutorial it actually helps your a lifesaver

[@nochsta]

As useful as it is, I feel it would be more useful if it could be used as a target selector. Having it only work like an 'as' is a bit limiting. Something like '/execute at @owner...' or '/tp @origin'. Or maybe as an argument: '/effect give @e[relation=passenger] night_vision...'

[@Cl0udWolf]

That wouldnt make any sense because selectors r used to find something in general and this finds things in relation to the executor. I also don’t see how it would provide any benefit in that form

[@nochsta]

@@Cl0udWolf Have you ever used ‘at’? ‘Facing’? ‘Positioned as’? And still wanted to keep track of the original entity as ‘@s’? Then why should we not be able to do the same with one of these ‘on’ relationships? Which is better: execute on attacker run tag @s add attacker execute on owner run tag @s add owner tell @p[tag=owner] @e[tag=attacker] is attacking me! execute on attacker run tag @s remove attacker execute on owner run tag remove owner Or, simply tell ~owner ~attacker is attacking me! ? Seems rather inefficient, when you already know know exactly which specific entity you want to refer to, to add a tag to it and then use an @e to search through every single entity to find it again, no?

[@Cl0udWolf]

@@nochsta tell is not a command and ofc the behavior of that u can do with predicates already

[@nochsta]

@@Cl0udWolf /tell is absolutely a command. Yes, in most cases tellraw would be preferable; I used it as an example, for simplicity’s sake. The point is, sometimes, I want to know who my owner is. Sometimes I want to know who my origin is. Or my passengers, controller, attacker etc. And sometimes I want to know who I am. With ‘execute on’, they’ve added the ability to do this; but you can only do one at a time - sometimes I want to know more than one of these in a single command.

[@Cl0udWolf]

@@nochsta If u use functions u would need no tags and can use distance or just 1 temporary tag. It would be nice but selectors r way less efficient. Maybe u use mods and don’t know the efficiency of stuff like selectors but @e must grab every entity and loook through them all and execute on is a much more efficient way of obtaining the source entity as it grabs the UUID already stored in nbt and then is similar to use /tp (UUID) instead of a selector /execute as @a at @s on vehicle run function (a) (a) say hi @a[sort=nearest,limit=1] ^ executor and original entity selected here and the benefits of having on are even greater in more complex systems, most of which dont need both entities or can properly make use of function execution order

[@aceyafterbanana_4926]

Can you do this on interaction entities and make a tutorial on how to use it for stuff.

[@anonymous_365]

Can you make video about display entity syntax?

[@Cl0udWolf]

Ya probably

[@As1anCr4ck3r]

i want to make a counter attack skill using the execute "on attacker", it works fine but when it comes to the damage, how would I make it so the entity that attacked the player receives damaged done by the player that got attacked using the damage command

[@Bonfra04]

doesn't on origin works for item frames or paintings? is there a way to execute on a player that placed that itemframe?

[@joshuastacy6636]

I know you said you would make a separate video on this, but how would you remove 5 seconds of spam with "on attacker". I am trying to make a thorns potion which deals damage to the attacker of the entity with the potion effect active, but the spam damage is a problem and I don't know how to get around it.

[@Cl0udWolf]

Advancements trigger when a player damages something u can use that to flag the player with a tag indicating they attacked. Then use execute … on attacker if entity @[tag=TAG] … run function And remove the tag in that function. Will work for PvE but not EvE

[@spacelover4106]

​​@@Cl0udWolf can't you just use a second execute on command to add the tag instead of using advancements? This way it will work with both PvE and EvE

[@elpeladotemc5644]

@@spacelover4106 Can you explaint it or give an example? :)

[@andrea.8458]

if I wanted to summon a projectal that I want that as soon as it hits an entity the game recognizes that I attacked it how could I do it?

fun command hehe execute as @e[type=wolf,nbt={HurtTime:10s}] on attacker at @s run summon lightning_bolt ~ ~ ~

[@chimpedout]

could you please make a display entity tutorial? these things are so confusing

[@Cl0udWolf]

Well if u saw the release candidate u would know mojang has been and is still changing how they work so I’m going to wait a little bit more

[@chimpedout]

@@Cl0udWolf yeah i guess so. They’re also really buggy right now and the interpolation crap isn’t working for me one bit.

[@Cl0udWolf]

@@chimpedout it works for me but it’s a bit tricky

[@Woomyko]

It seems execute on target cannot be used if the entity running the command is a player sadly. But those commands are very useful nonetheless

[@Cl0udWolf]

No on target works with zombies it just behaves differently per entity

[@randommanwhodoesthings7662]

is it possible to use ‘on owner’ on an entity that cant normally be ‘owned’ by setting data of the entity?

[@Cl0udWolf]

No because for example arrows have an Owner nbt that means the one who shot it. same with AEC. for the most part the answer is no but u can use on origin in those cases. when i first experimented with these i thought on owner would work for arrows and dropped items since the nbt is called Owner, but on owner is very specifically for pets

[@randommanwhodoesthings7662]

@@Cl0udWolf alright, thanks!

[@Howzieky]

You could put an area effect cloud owned by the player on top of the entity, right? Then if @s is that entity, you could say "execute on passengers on owner..."

[@Cl0udWolf]

@@Howzieky if the AEC is owned by the player u can use execute on origin

[@coucoul38]

Can I use on target to execute a command when I get killed by a player with a specific tag ? I managed to do the opposite: execute a command as the killer, but now I want to reverse it and I can't make it work :(

[@Cl0udWolf]

No

[@samutheoneandonly3876]

Ia there a way to select a entity that last interacted with another entity? Like selecting the last player that talked to a villager or the last player that repaired an iron golem or milked a cow. Something like "/execute on interacter". We have a way to know wich entity left clicked another entity but no way to know wich entity right clicked an entity.

[@Cl0udWolf]

No u can only do that with on target and interactions
