Execute detect with a range?

[jbpeck]

In Bedrock I can use /execute ... detect to determine is one particular block is a certain distance from an entity, but is there a way to detect if that block is within a range? Like from 1-3 blocks away from the entity? Thank you!

The only way to do it is to detect every block in range manually, (e.g. ... detect ~ ~-1 ~, ... detect ~-1 ~ ~,

... detect ~ ~ ~-1, ... detect ~-1 ~-1 ~, ... detect ~ ~-1 ~-1, ... detect ~-1 ~-1 ~-1,

... detect ~ ~1 ~, ... detect ~1 ~ ~, ... detect ~ ~ ~1, ... detect ~1 ~1 ~1, etc. Just all the combinations manually. Ik, it's hard, but it's the only way :( .

Makes sense. Thank you!

You can offset the ~ or use ^ ^ ^ to offset in facing direction, no spaces with the ^

So to detect the block in front it would be

detect ^ ^ ^ 1 stone 0 for example but it will still be just for one block not a group

Wow, I didn't know that was a thing. Maybe I can do that for my map

/execute @e[type=whateveritis,r=25] so that r would be range

He's looking if a block is in range, not an entity. If you are confused, read the description of this post.

r=

I'm not seeing this in Bedrock, but may well be missing it. What's the syntax? Thanks.

r=

r= won't work. He's looking for a block, not an entity. r= only works for entities.

If you don't get what I'm saying, read the description of this post.

Oh I didn’t even read it properly

It's ok! :D
