Minecraft – How to detect an item on ground

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I searched on internet including this site, people said that it worked for them.

I wanna detect a paper laying on the ground and if there is a paper on the ground it runs an command.

I tried this command but it doesn't work.

/execute as @e[type=item,nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:paper",Count:1b,tag:{onGround:1b}}}] run say test

Update: More specifically how to make this command:

/execute as @e[type=item,nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:paper"}}] at @s run say test

Work only on papers that are on ground?

You miscapitalized OnGround as onGround.

Correct:

{OnGround:1b}

This answer was written prior to the release of 1.13 and "The Flattening" that came with it. An updated answer can be found here.

You're actually pretty close, and definitely on the right track. Instead of {Inventory:[{id:<block ID>,data:<data value>}]}, use {Inventory:[{id:<block ID>,Damage:<data value>s}]}. The s after the data value is important since it's stored as a short, not as an int. (As an aside, if it were stored as a byte, you would append a b instead.)

In 1.13, the syntax for display names changed to text components. In my case, we'd have to write it as:

/execute if block "x" "y" "z" minecraft:hopper{Items:[{id:"minecraft:paper",tag:{display:{Name:"{\"text:\":\"12345\"}"}}}]} run say hi
