To anyone who actually followed along, you basically just completed the first few weeks of a college-level computer science I class, except using “mcfunction” as your programming language.
Thanks for this. Afterfollowing your tutorial, I can see why something as simple as functions is one of your favorite things. I got a lot out of this, particularly at the end when everything came together after loading the datapack in and seeing the obscene message I wrote to myself and then trying out the various functions I created based on your demonstration. I am a very hands-on learner but also have ADHD, and so I just followed your directions, making small personal changes as I went, trusting that in the end it would all make more sense and work. At first it didn't work in-game but then I double-checked and realized I had put the datapack folder in the wrong world save folder! Once I fixed that and reloaded in-game, everything worked like a charm. Once I saw it in action I got pretty hyped to learn this basic concept. Now I'm going onto the next tutorial... thanks again, dude!
thank you SO much! I watched so many tutorials and followed them step by step and did everything they said exactly and it didn't work in a for a single one. I'm so thankful I found this tutorial! Subbed and liked!
i did it using sublime at first, and it never ended up working. i eventually caved and used VS, and it worked like a charm! this tutorial is amazing! thank you!
ThanX for the vid! I've been doing recipe datapacks but this is the first time I've tried functions; Now I know how (Tried it and it works great) - thanks to SSS. So I'll be sure to check out your other tutoriasl like loot tables ect. Have good day!
@@SuperSilverStone8 one last thing can you possibly explain how to detect if a player is standing on a certain block. That would help out a TON. And maybe how to set a timer. Decreasing time every interval so an action such as a potion effect is given to a player? If not it’s fine just haven’t been able to find it other places!
@@SuperSilverStone8 thank you again! I was reading your blog and I thought about the first step 1. Create a team! (/team add {insert name}) /team add player1. Could you make it so if a player clicks a interactive message in chat than they get assigned a team? That way we could give the effects to a team. Than any player who did not click he message will be put into spectator mode? It’s a far shot but maybe it makes sense lol. (Sorry for asking so many questions!)
So silver I apologize for asking you so many questions again I feel bad but have been playing around and a few questions have been raised that I would like solved. I want to figure out not just how it works but why it works. Number 1. When I activate my datapack it works but I can’t place blocks. Number 2. My intent for the datapack is every time someone either breaks/places/gets an achievement. They receive a random potion effect /kill Or runs a custom command that would be in a separate file like test.mcfunction idk. Number 3. How would I get it to detect what block a player is standing on after they make an achievement? So it isn’t always running. That way you never know when it is coming. Number 4. How do you make timers so a file is run every tic in say 5 seconds after someone clicks a tellraw/interactive message. Number 5. How would you (super long stretch sorry) make it so custom structures are built. In other words if you get the achievement “a seedy place” then a village house or pillager outpost is created in front of you. Thank you so much if you read it this far. You have been an absolute legend and I will do my best to make some animation stuff for you when I have a chance lol. Kindly -NMD
@@SuperSilverStone8 two things smarter than me = you. Second i just fixed the block placing problem i was in adventure XD what an idiot…. But it is giving me an error when I try to run a function file. What is the correct syntax for running a custom mcfunction for lets say player standing on obsidian. I know how to detect thanks to you! But it still gives an error when I try to run my function. Thanks for responding to my horrendously long chain of questions!
@@SuperSilverStone8 alright, it looks like an error in the source code file (load.mcfunction) like how would I even call the file to be used correctly? I know you gave me an example but it still had an error sorry
can you do more like explanation bout everything we need to know us beginner i wanna make an avatar datapack so i wanna make like you know eg particles damage upon impact
ive been trying to make a simple count down like this title @a title 10 title @a title 9 but when i reload i just shows 9 what can i do ive been trying for hours to fix this
ye uk i once had a command world with alot of cool stuff n then i wanted to do basically kill all arrows in ground but then i closed it n stopped at kill all n then ye i coundlt save any of my cool commands
so sliver question ive been messing around with the block detection thing you were telling me about and i was wondering is there a way you could make it so if i stand on lets say oak log it will run the file example.mcmeta? maybe im just being dumb because im guessing there is an easy way around this!
@@SuperSilverStone8 Okay thanks so it was that simple! lol. however it is giving me an error like it expects me to run advancement or xp or effect give will it still work?
@@SuperSilverStone8 so this is my command execute as @r[team=team1] at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ dirt run give.mcfunction and it gives an error for run give.mcfunction. Am i missing something?
Hi! I wanted to make a datapack, kinda suspicious, that you could smell items, for example: smell coal, it would make you nauseous, smell a cake, it would give you speed, because the smell is good. Is it possible to do things like this?
in like the 7 videos i watched trying to figure out how to make a datapack that changes one block in a structure.. not one of them said what they were using for the code... lol thx
My datapack isn't working. I checked the code multiple times and I think it's equal to your code. My datapack name is "testando", the command "functions testando:load" always work but the "reload" command never works, so my ticks are never active, I play on 1.16.5, does anyone know what can be the problem?
@@SuperSilverStone8 Friend, I'm so dumb hhaahhahaha, I've downloaded your datapack to compare with mine and I noticed that my archives were named "tick.mcfunctionS" and "load.mcfunctionS" (the errors were the S on the end) I already remaked the code and the datapack worked, thanks so much for the help and +1 subscriber (sorry for bad english) :D
bro, those extension, you don't even know what is each of them for, and you have the unneeded extensions like blockceptions bedrock development LOL ARE YOU KIDDIN IT LITERALLY SAYS BEDROCK WHICH IS BEDROCK EDITION
when ur startung out with functions, its not important what each one of them does. if u want to read the documentation, be my guest. and for the bedrock development, it doesnt mean literally bedrock edition. it adds support for auto-completion and more in .mcfunction files. do u research kid before throwin shade 😏
@@SuperSilverStone8 true though, but you still made the video way too long, I am doing playlist out of different videos to make the best datapacking tutorial from scratch, because of length and that slight false information you weren't the one I chase

You are honestly WAY too underated... you are the ONLY TH-camr I have finally come across who was able to help me
Only video I see based on my original search, good for not clickbaiting and actually explaining it!

pal, you saved my day. You are a legend
Nice! Please, keep making these so we can make datapacks from scratch!
you mean the coding scratch
Bro you are so underrated you got my sub
You are such an underrated person, keep it up ! :D
Best video ive watched this week
It's the greatest datapack tutorial I ever seen, I love your explanation a lot
This is really well done. i like the chest example a lot.
Rly helpfull thx man ! this channel deserve more subs!!
It is so satisfying when ou get code to work
Nice, i´ve been looking for tutorials for datapacks and i hope this finally works form me :D

thank you for making this video!!!
How much worse is it to make a data pack command then throw it in a repeating command block VS. make it a tick command?
can you do more like explanation bout everything we need to know us beginner i wanna make an avatar datapack so i wanna make like you know eg particles damage upon impact
ive been trying to make a simple count down like this
title @a title 10
title @a title 9
but when i reload i just shows 9
what can i do ive been trying for hours to fix this
cool cool cool leaned a lot

please a tutorial about how to add items
