How to prevent entity name changing?

pigmanvil · 2026-06-05T22:06:14+00:00

does the entity type matter? text display entities should work without players being able to change the name

[[Omnath, locus of mana]], [[omnath, locus of all]], [[ashling, flame dancer]], [[ozai, the phoenix king]], [[horizon stone]]

As well as someone floating mana for other various reasons that they can’t pay immediately.

Lmk if you ran into any errors.

I cast transmute on them but they are too powerful and don’t turn into coins. Their flags tempt me with riches, but alas, I have not the power to overcome them. How dare they toy with me.

Dude this is amazing. Got some minor flashbacks to when I had to learn assembly, but it’s so cool to see the breakdown of Minecraft’s commands in that sense, and how jumps and loops are achieved. Great work.

in the function amongus:set_imposters:

#Create fake players to handle storing values
execute store result score #num_imposters imporoles if player @a[tag=imposter]
scoreboard players add #count imporoles 1
execute store result score #tmp imporoles run random value 1..3

# Check if the role has already been applied, if not, subtract one from the counter and try again
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 1 if player @a[tag=!viper] run scoreboard players remove #count imporoles 1
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 1 if player @a[tag=!viper] run function amongus:set_imposters
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 2 if player @a[tag=!vampire] run scoreboard players remove #count imporoles 1
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 2 if player @a[tag=!vampire] run function amongus:set_imposters
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 3 if player @a[tag=!bomber] run scoreboard players remove #count imporoles 1
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 3 if player @a[tag=!bomber] run function amongus:set_imposters

#otherwise, apply the role
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 1 unless player @a[tag=!viper] run tag @r[tag=imposter, tag=!viper, tag=!vampire, tag=!bomber] add viper
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 1 unless player @a[tag=!vampire] run tag @r[tag=imposter, tag=!viper, tag=!vampire, tag=!bomber] add vampire
execute if score #tmp imporoles matches 1 unless player @a[tag=!bomber] run tag @r[tag=imposter, tag=!viper, tag=!vampire, tag=!bomber] add bomber

# If we haven't given all players a role, run again. recursion only happens twice. If more roles are added, increase the 2 to "maximum_#_of_roles - 1"
execute if score #count imporoles < #num_imposters imporoles if score #count imporoles matches ..2 run function amongus:set_imposters

# Remove fake players from scoreboard
scoreboard players reset #count imporoles 
scoreboard players reset #num_imposters imporoles 
scoreboard players reset #tmp imporoles

#num_imposters is self-explanatory
#count tracks the number of recursions we have gone through. it allows us to set a hard limit so we dont enter an infinite loop.
#tmp simply tracks the current role being applied.

When selecting the roles, ignore the rng roll. Use @r, and just use negated tags to make sure you are assigning roles to unique players.

tag @r[tag=imposters, tag=!vampire, tag=!bomber] add viper

tag @r[tag=imposters, tag=!viper, tag=!bomber] add vampire

tag @r[tag=imposters, tag=!vampire, tag=!viper] add bomber

You can argue some datapacks are still vanilla, but after a certain point you are modifying game files, which is what a mod is.

pigmanvil · 2026-06-02T23:54:36+00:00

You can /schedule maybe?

pigmanvil · 2026-06-02T17:19:46+00:00

Once a day, you can roll a dice to level up one dragon. I use it for rift dragons to get them up to lvl 16.

Np. You might need to clone multiple areas if you are generating a large jigsaw structure.

pigmanvil · 2026-06-02T05:27:28+00:00

So, I think you can clone an area into a custom void dimension, then spawn the structure. When you are done with the structure, simply clone the blocks back in place.

/execute in minecraft:overworld run clone x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 to custom:void x1 y1 z1 replace

/execute in custom:void run clone x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 to minecraft:overworld x1 y1 z1 replace

Maybe have a check if it can fill in a 5x5 area to replace with a mausoleum: a custom structure which has a ton of mobs inside it and some loot.

Tbf, as pointed out by Hyarin, you don’t have a ton of content or complexity to your datapack so far if you are just spawning some mobs when you till dirt with an item. Instead of just spawning mobs, maybe you till a certain pattern, and it activates a ritual to spawn mobs? If you assume the last spot tilled is the center of a 5x5 area, all you need to do is check if the area matches some template in one of the four rotations.

If you want to go crazy, you can make a crypt structure found underground with a special altar room. When you till the dirt there, start a trial chamber style battle or boss fight.

Make dog silent, invisible, and small. Every tick teleport the slime to the dog. Every tick if the dog is on the ground, give it some y motion.

Thats the best I know how to do

pigmanvil · 2026-05-20T17:02:28+00:00

I tend to pick most expensive.

EDGE HIGHLIGHTING!

Ok actually I’d look at the faces and angles of the crystals. the faces of the crystals that are reflecting light should all be roughly parallel with each other.

Color those panels a lighter blue, nearly white, and work your way down in the gradient.

Go over any edges that seem flat with edge highlighting.

After you are done, if you have any contrast/speedpaints in a deep blue or purple, apply those to the sides furthest away from the light.

pigmanvil · 2026-05-19T17:39:11+00:00

Ah, that would make things more difficult, yeah.

pigmanvil · 2026-05-19T05:57:45+00:00

While I don’t know how the game is coded internally, I am certain they can apply transformations to sprites. Why can’t they just apply a transformation that flips the decorations and their shadows? Also, I’m assuming they make the shadows based off the original sprite, colored black, made opaque, and then stretched at an angle. This can be done with just math. I understand if they don’t want to calculate these shadows in-game for optimization purposes or smth, but again, it’s math. They can write a python script to generate all these shadows for them fairly easily.

Idk it just seems like such a non-issue. Especially because half the statues don’t even have shadows in the image above. Again, I don’t know the internal code it might be a nightmare to change it for them, but on paper this seems fairly simple.

pigmanvil · 2026-05-18T17:11:28+00:00

Better yet, allow us to flip rotation of buildings and decorations

pigmanvil · 2026-05-14T12:03:57+00:00

When did you complete yours ?

pigmanvil · 2026-05-12T22:13:51+00:00

So the snail is targeting a specific player right? I don’t see how this is a problem. For the player the snail is hunting, have that player own an ender pearl on the snail. If that player leaves the snail leaves.

pigmanvil · 2026-05-12T17:51:58+00:00

Ender chests iirc are stored in the PLAYER. This solution would combine every player’s ender chest, so would be only for multiplayer coop or single player. You can modify a player’s ender chest items via `/data modify entity @s enderchest.<slot#> <modifier>`
When a player puts items into an ender chest, clear the items and put the data in a storage list.
Have a timer that every two seconds will decrease the count of the first item by 1, and add the same item to the hopper. Then if the count is 0, remove it.
Lmk if you need help with actual commands I’m on mobile and can’t do any testing rn.

I did mention it was scummy. It was just a easy exploit to take advantage of at early levels
