Minecraft – All Minecraft target selector arguments

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

Using any minecraft command that requires a entity to run (like /tp /testfor and etc) requires a entity piece, you can do it with players using the playername, and you can do with @e, @r, @p and @a, providing arguments or not. That is my question: What are all Minecraft selector arguments (in 1.8) The ones I currently know are score_scorename=value, score_scorename_min=value.

Via the Minecraft Wiki

Present in 1.8

x = X coordinate of search origin
y = Y coordinate of search origin
z = Z coordinate of search origin
r = radius maximum in blocks
rm = radius minimum in blocks
m = gamemode (0: survival, 1: creative, 2: adventure, 3: spectator)
score_[name] = score maximum
score_[name]_min = score minimum
c = maximum targets (not minimum, of which there is none)
l = level maximum
lm = level minimum
team = scoreboard team name
name = player username or entity CustomName (translated default name if no CustomName)
dx = number of blocks in the X direction to search in
dy = number of blocks in the Y direction to search in
dz = number of blocks in the Z direction to search in
rx = vertical rotation maximum
rxm = vertical rotation minimum
ry = horizontal rotation maximum
rym = horizontal rotation minimum
type = entity ID (only available for @r and @e)

Added in 1.9

tag = scoreboard "tag" stored on the target (via Tags list, modifiable with /scoreboard players tag <target> <add|remove> <tagname> {dataTags})

Minecraft – How to select all but two types of entities in Minecraft with the type selector

First, create a dummy scoreboard objective:

/scoreboard objectives add selectMe dummy

Then, on a fast redstone clock, give all entities a selectMe score of 1:

/scoreboard players set @e selectMe 1

Give all players and items a selectMe score of 0 with these two command blocks:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Player] selectMe 0

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] selectMe 0

Now, you can select them by targeting all entities within a 50 block radius that have a selectMe score of 1:

/say @e[score_selectMe_min=1,r=50]

Hope this helped! :)

Comparator and fast clocks don't mix well so here is a complete clock only solution.

/scoreboard objectives add Selector dummy
/scoreboard objectives add Marker dummy

Clock:

/scoreboard players set @a Selector 0
/scoreboard players set @a[x=-262,y=3,z=113,r=1] Selector 1 {Inventory:{id:minecraft:stick}}
/scoreboard players set @e Marker 0
/scoreboard players set @e[type=ArmorStand] Marker 1 {Silent:1,CustomName:"Tracker",Invulnerable:1,Invisible:1,Marker:1,NoGravity:1}
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,score_Marker_min=1] ~ ~ ~ tp @p[r=1] -268 3 113
