Minecraft Right Click Detection [1.19] Several Ways

[@backoloryt1804]

I don't mod, make data packs, or make maps for minecraft, but here I am, watching this full video, and absorbing the information as though I'll ever use it

[@kylorde1608]

Its always fun learning regardless though, knowing things exist means you could go back if you ever need the information

[@UnlucksMcGee]

The simplest fix to the ender eye method is to give it a custom NBT tag (sidenote: the item is an "ender_eye" and the entity is an "eye_of_ender"). 1. Give the player the custom ender_eye item: give @s minecraft:ender_eye{myCustomEye:1b} 2. Add an nbt condition to the advancement criteria (ensure you have a comma in the line just before nbt): In advancements/eye.json: { "criteria": { "requirement": { "trigger": "minecraft:using_item", "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:ender_eye" ], "nbt": "{myCustomEye:1b}" } } } }, "rewards": { "function": "tutorial:eye" } } 3. Add a command to kill only the eye_of_ender entity with that nbt tag: In functions/eye.mcfunction: advancement revoke @s only tutorial:eye kill @e[type=minecraft:eye_of_ender,nbt={Item:{tag:{myCustomEye:1b}}}] 4. (Optional) If the player is not in creative mode, replace the consumed ender_eye item in their hotbar slot

[@Thatnormalted]

I thought this woundnt work because, why would the entity have the same nbt as the item? I tested it just to be sure and it does work, the reason i got by thinking 2 seconds is that the eye drops itself, thats why it inherits the nbt, so the eye you throw and the one you recieve are identical

[@Rugbeat90999]

I will be using this, thank you. It is greatly appreciated.

[@DeleteKernel]

@@Thatnormalted the eye entity also uses the same texture as the item u held before

[@bloxxer_tv]

HOLD ON, YOU CAN GIVE ITEMS CUSTOM NBT DATA???

[@kappasphere]

You can use a shield instead of an eye of ender to get it working in worlds with strongholds

[@HyperKNF]

or actually virtually any usable item

[@kappasphere]

@@HyperKNF Not every usable item if you count instantaneous use as a use, because the using_item advancement trigger only detects items that have a continuous use

[@aethersword7823]

WAKE UP EVERYONE! A new method just dropped (in snapshot 24w12a for version 1.20.5): Set your item component to food and set the eating time to 1 of 2 options. 3.4e38 - maximum float value, it disables the eating animation and eating particles. 0.001 - infinitely eating, food particles show. The component: > minecraft:food={nutrition:0,saturation_modifier:0,can_always_eat:true,eat_seconds:3.4e38} then you can simply detect it with "using_item" advancement

[@aestellic]

In 1.18.2, you can change data/minecraft/tags/worldgen/structure/eye_of_ender_located.json via datapack and set it to: { "replace": true, "values": [ ] } it lets you do this in a dimension which includes a stronghold and still lets you /locate it only downside is the vanilla eye of enders can't find the stronghold

[@michaelo4476]

Great video! Though it's worth mentioning: Rather than using ' if score ', you can just run the command you want but use @a[scores={carrot=1..}] . Checking for scores in a target selector is more efficient than in executive if. It won't make much difference lag wise, but if you have a large datapack it's worth doing :)

[@GameFloWM]

nie? można to na spokojnie użyć w @a[scores={}] jak i w if score...

[@Frostyflytrap]

Thanks for the concise guide to all options with their upsides and drawbacks! I just tried the Ender Eye method on my existing world and surprisingly it worked a lot slower than the carrot on a stick method, I suspected it was to do with poor optimization on my part so I tested it on a separate part and that was definitely the case. Well, I have no idea what may be interfering with that so I guess it's time to rip my old datapack apart and start from scratch I guess...

[@mercuryteamfortress]

You probably have too much stuff in loop/tick.mcfunction.

[@Katslia]

Video Idea: How about tutorials for the Advancements generator or the Item modifier generator? Edit: also where did you learn your commands?

[@Legitimoose]

I learned a lot from Dragnoz' tutorials back when scoreboards were added to the game ;^) Then I pretty much just kept up to date with each new update, and pretty soon commands had gotten huge. Also, learning programming in general helps a lot. There's a lot of things you can cross-apply. Thanks for the suggestion ;^)

[@FriedMonkey362]

​@@Legitimooseman i know c# (similar to java) But Minecraft datapacks are its own unique confusing thing I dont understand datapacks and seleciting and @ One thing im thinking of is making a programming language that compiles to Minecraft datapacks But idk how doable it is

[@sselesUneeuQ]

here's the thing: I came across this looking for a way to detect when a player uses a heart consumable or revive consumable so disappearing automagically after using it is perfect. Especially paired with a little /kill @e magic specifically for the ender_eye while it's within a block of the player.

[@JustJqke]

you also forgot detecting rightclicks on a specific block using items, the advancement is “item used on block” or something like that, i used it for a kit selection a while back and it works pretty well, sadly you can’t check when a player clicks on air, it has to be on a block, but it works without holding an item so that’s pretty cool

[@John-hv9hz]

This man is a legend. Half of my command knowledge has come from his videos.

[@DoctorPlasmaMC]

Thank you, it's very rare to see different method compilation videos. I know a lot of these but have to think of them from scratch and a discussion of them all and pros/cons is an excellent review and super helpful.

[@ItsMe-fr6em]

There are some fixes for the ender eye method to make it work with strongholds: 1) Replace item in player's hand with (customized) ender eye right after right click detected 2) Kill all ender eye entities in a certain radius after click detected 3) (optional) Check for a block which the player is looking at the moment of click (trace or any other method) and replace it with an empty portal frame if the filled end portal frame is detected earlier

[@orionengland]

Just give the eye of ender a custom tag, and constantly /kill all thrown eyes of ender with that tag. You can also set it up so that if a player throws an eye with that tag, they are immediately given a new one. Might be some jitters in the instant after throwing it, but honestly, aside from that, it is the perfect method.

[@official-obama]

@@orionengland items don't have tags, do they?

[@Anubis1101]

the Carrot on a Stick method works with any item that has a right-click function, but it ALSO works on consumables, tools or anything that consumes durability. while it may not be as versatile as the Advancement method, its perfect for doing things like making a sword that causes lightning to strike every time you hit a mob, or a pickaxe that detonates TNT a few blocks in front of you every time it breaks a block. its also really easy to set up without using data packs, which are still a hassle for people unfamiliar with programming or who just want to do something simple.

[@talwat321]

Maybe you could make like a random number generation tutorial. Since its pretty useful :^) Amazing video btw. Never knew you could use fungi for the right click detection, I will be sure to use that!

Finally this is what I need idk if this is going to be a simple useless tutorial or something for more advanced users like me

[@aethermaster4372]

About the last part, it could actually work in plain survival if you set to the eye of ender a scoreboard "timer" to detect an eye of ender's time, so at some point you'll regain the eye of ender. Though that'll need 3 more commands. But, it won't give you an other item if there aren't any other strongholds around, so that way you can make it work easily. And else what can be done is a toggle function to the previous 3 commands, so they only will work when needed. In case you need some more detail, I can then somehow help out with it.

[@mihneamanea8161]

I spent a while time trying to figure out right click detection in december of 2020 (figured it out tho) and now he posts a video about it. well, at least it will be helpful to other people. Also you have some of the best command block tutorials I've seen on youtube!! Great job!!!

You could also use snowballs for right-click detection. Just tag the snowball and when you chuck it, kill the snowball entity and give the snowball back, whether by /give or /item. You could do this with eggs and ender pearls as well!

There is a way to use the ender eye in survival and eggs, snowball, and ender pearls. The only problem is that you have to have 2 of the same item. You have 2 snowballs, you throw one, and now you have 1 snowball. You give yourself 1 snowball, you have 2 again, then you kill the snowball. So you detected that you threw the snowball (right clicked) and you can do it again

Im making a map with shops, and to purchase from the shops you need to click a button for a series of commandblocks to run. I was wondering if there is a way to detect who pressed a button, because Id hate to use the @p that is closest to the button. I tried to look into scoreboard objectives, and into UUID, but couldnt find anything that would help me. You, Legitimoose, seem like the guy who would know how to make such a thing work, and Id really appreciate it if you could help me out.

I think he means you could give a advancement to the playera that presses the button and then revoke it and give the ítem with chain command blocks

[@zoharnakash7361]

​@eacerca12 But how would I detect who pressed the button? That's the problem I'm having. Normally people would do @p (the closest player) to the button, but what if there is already a player between you and the button? It would run the command on the other player since he is closer to the button, no matter if its an advancement command or a scoreboard.

[@alexanderburns1412]

For any Bedrock edition players out there I found a way to do it as well. So have a repeating command block that teleports an invisible armor stand to the player. Then have a command block testing if the player has the item to be clicked in their inventory. when they right click, the item will go to the armor stand and the command block will detect that the item is missing, thus triggering the desired command. Another alternative is to get rid of the armor stand bit and make the player have to drop the item to trigger it. This the interaction is a bit easier for phone players. Hopefully this is helpful and pls like so other PE players can see this.

[@hootis1]

this feels like bingewatching but im actually learning shit

[@captainironbat8193]

Another method I use is item frames. You detect when a player is near one and rotates it. Like this execute at @a if entity @e[type=item_frame,nbt={Item:("minecraft:paper", Count:1b)}, distance=..3] store success @p scoreboard_objective_here run data merge entity @e[type=item_frame,nbt{Item:("minecraft:paper", Count:1b)}, distance=..3,nbt={ItemRotation:1b},limit=1] {ItemRotation:0b} Pared with this command. execute at @e[type=item_frame,nbt={Item:("minecraft:paper", Count:1b)}] if entity @a[distance=3..] run data merge entity @e[type=item_frame, limit=1, distance=0,nbt={ItemRotation:1b}] {ItemRotation:0b} Put both inside your tick function. On every item frame you want to have be clickable use this command on them. data merge entity @e[type=item_frame,limit=1, distance=..1] {Invulnerable:1b} Note: this was written on a phone, double check for errors. Also I use a lot of redundant entity calls as opposed to @s, I do this because sometimes @s brakes.

how to know what player put the item in an armor stand you could use an advancement to detect when someone right clicks an armor stand using the minecraft:player_interacted_with_entity criteria, make the reward a raycast function to detect which armor stand you clicked (or make it a function that runs a raycast after running something to the player) { "criteria": { "requirement": { "trigger": "minecraft:player_interacted_with_entity", "conditions": { "entity": [ { "condition": "minecraft:entity_properties", "predicate": { "type": "minecraft:armor_stand" } } ] } } }, "rewards": { "function": "subscribe.to:legitimoose" } } and then in the raycast function you could check for the item, and now you know who clicked boom life hack i remember using a system like this for a custom item pickup system
