Commands for copy and paste Basic : /execute @a[hasitem=[{item=apple}]] ~~~ say I have apples! Advanced: /execute @a[hasitem=[{item=apple,quantity=1,,},{item=cooked_beef.quantity=1,,}]] ~~~ say I have apples and beef!

How did you get new dialogs with the npc? I'm looking to do stuff without addons if possible

[@MRBBATES1]

The one in the video is using a custom dialogue addon that a made, but I have another video called quests with NPCs that shows a different way of doing it without addons

This seems like it’ll be useful, still waiting on the /give allowing named items 😔

[@MRBBATES1]

It is very useful I see a lot of things that will be easier to do thanks to this, but allowing for custom names is an issue for a long while, even for the hasitem command, this doesn’t do names as well, definitely need that adding!!

[@KYTKaoz]

Just do a /structure command which is spawned onto a player.

[@deadlybean687]

@@KYTKaoz if two people are near each other it can be picked up by either one, itd also delete a block if they’re in a slab or ladder or such

[@MRBBATES1]

If you place a structure void down and throw your item into that and save it, it wont remove the half slab :) The void block tells MC not to replace so what ever is there will remain. However if you dont have solid floor under the half block the item can fall throw so keep that in mind as well :)

Im trying to make to where holding blue stained glass gives the player swiftness 2 But my command: /execute as @a run [hasitem=[{item=blue_stained_glass}]] ~ ~ ~ effect swiftness 1 2 Wont work can you help me fix it?

[@andrewbrown497]

How do I make it where it takes something and gives an item back. Like when you gave Ted the items how would you get him to give you emeralds?

[@MRBBATES1]

the way I did it with ted was this use the hasitem while adding a tag, so something like this: /execute @initiator[hasitem=[{item=diamond_helmet,quantity=1..}]] ~ ~ ~ tag @s add Clear from here you can just use this with normal commands, like this: /clear @initiator[tag=Clear] diamond_helmet -1 1 /give @initiator[tag=Clear] emerald 200 /execute @initiator[tag=Clear] ~ ~ ~ tag @s remove Clear /execute @initiator[tag=!Clear] ~ ~ ~ title @s actionbar You do not have all the items needed

[@frogeyjuice]

Is it possible to detect items with a certain name in bedrock? like "/execute as @a[hasitem=[{item=paper,name=Ticket,quantity=1..}]] ~~~ say I have tickets!" ? That doesn't seem to work for me but I'm wondering if there is anything like that in Bedrock

[@MRBBATES1]

As far as i know, the hasitem command is not able to read NBT data so things like name is not something you can filter by. if your going to use an item in this manor you would be better to use something more rare thats harder to get ahold of. even a custom item can be used as long as player cant get it without them being given it. if thats not an option you would need some additional checks aftwards. what that might be is up to you.

[@User-ie8vl]

I'm trying to make a way to give the player a new sword after using it one time. Like if the player hits an entity and the durability goes down a bit it replaces the sword with a new one. The (item data) selector doesn't work.

[@MRBBATES1]

You need the replace item command for that :) , I’m not at a computer this second but will share an example later :)

[@User-ie8vl]

Okay! Thank you :)

[@MRBBATES1]

@@User-ie8vl really sorry i realised i never responded back to this, the basic version of the command you need is the replace item command. something like this would work: /replaceitem entity @a slot.weapon.mainhand 0 keep diamond_sword 1 2048 give the player a sword with 1 durability then use the command above in a repeating command block, if you use the sword once it breaks and the command replaces it with a new one, You can use the true condition off the command block to do other things if needed.

@@MRBBATES1 How did you do the light block thing? Did you just have any light blocks around you get deleted except the one you were standing in?

[@MRBBATES1]

Sort of, I wanted to give a flickering effect since I wanted to use torches and lanterns, so I did it this way instead to give that effect: for the video i used 3 commands/command blocks. you need 2 to start it off an an additional 1 for each light source. Commands are: Repeating > Always On > Unconditional: execute @a ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 fill ~ ~ ~ ~+4 ~+4 ~+4 air 0 replace light_block Chain > Always On > Unconditional: /execute @a[hasitem=[{item=torch,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}]] ~ ~ ~ setblock ~ ~+1 ~ light_block 5 Chain > Always On > Unconditional: execute @a[hasitem=[{item=lantern,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}]] ~ ~ ~ setblock ~ ~+1 ~ light_block 7 Just keep adding to the chain for each source. If you dont want the flicker effect, place the light before removing it and it should not flicker then.

How did people make the torch

for this video i used 3 commands/command blocks. you need 2 to start it off an an additional 1 for each light source.

[@mastersymmetry2774]

This doesn’t seem to work for the chest? Or am I doing it wrong? Because I used your exact command just changed ender chest to chest but it doesn’t work. please reply thanks!

[@MRBBATES1]

I don’t think you can use a normal chest with this as placing an item in it means they don’t have it so wouldn’t apply for has item command.

[@mastersymmetry2774]

@@MRBBATES1 oh? How come slot.chest is a choice then?

[@MRBBATES1]

I think it’s more for donkeys with chests on or lamas with chests as they are entity’s that have that attached to them.

[@gabrielpassos4409]

is there a way to select the item by a name?

[@MRBBATES1]

There is a name parameter but as far as I know custom name is bugged or doesn’t work. i can offer an alternative for spawning in a named item but for checking for a named item i dont have a solution foe right now.

[@Xman1020]

@@MRBBATES1 If you use the data selector and have something like a clock and give yourself a clock using the number you have for the data selector (after you specify quantity) you're able to make it so that only the ones given to you with that command work for the command. Not a perfect fix for the lack of name selecting but it's a workaround.

[@MRBBATES1]

Thats very true, i didnt think of that.

[@marshill88]

execute @a doesn't work.

[@MRBBATES1]

The execute command has changed recently for bedrock edition so this video is abit out of date now try using execute as @a run [command] instead

[@muhammadadamwaizmuhammadfa8204]

You sound like mumbo jumbo

[@MRBBATES1]

Haha we do live in the same country :)
