Minecraft – How to make a scoreboard command that detects when a player crouches in multiplayer

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

In Minecraft 1.13/1.14, I start with some commands that work for singleplayer like:

/scoreboard objectives add Sneak minecraft.custom:minecraft.sneak_time
/execute as @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] at (my name) run effect give (my name) minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true
/scoreboard players reset @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] Sneak

I've already tested it on a multiplayer server and it doesn't appear to work. I then tried adding a tag:

/execute as @a[name=(my name),scores={Sneak=1..}] at Dashinglizard run effect give Dashinglizard minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true

and it still didn't work.

It's a actually a really simple syntax mistake. Here it is the corrected version:

/execute as @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] run effect give @s minecraft:jump_boost 1 2 true

Your previous command would add the jump boost effect to you if there was anyone else, including you, crouching.

Using @s will refer to a previous entity. In this case, the @s in effect give @s refers to @a[scores={Sneak=1..}] which means it will give the effect to any, and only, player that has those specifications.

As a side note, at (your name) or at @e (or any variatons of it) will execute using this entity coordinate, thus being useless as this does not require any coordinate at all.

Ok, so it turns out, my logic works fine, unfortunately sometime between 1.10 and 1.12 nested execute command support was removed. pity. If anyone has a different way of doing this, please let me know. In the mean time, I'm going to try and figure out how to do this without nested execute commands...

I am going to explain what your commands are actually doing.

execute @a ~ ~ ~ /testfor @e[name=damage-radius,r=5]

This means execute the command testfor @e[name=damage-radius,r=5] from the location of all players. This will result positive if there is an armor stand within 5 block radius of the player and run the next command. It does nothing to target the player. It only returns that there is an armor stand near a player.

/scoreboard players add @a damage-radius 1

This means add 1 to the damage-radius objective for all players. This does not target any specific player. This is your problem.

A better way to do it. First, skip the testfor. Second, run the command directly by targeting the player that is near the armor stand (Backwards of your method of targeting an armor stand that is near a player)

execute @e[name=damage-radius] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players add @a[r=5] damage-radius 1

This means execute the command scoreboard players add @a[r=5] damage-radius 1 at the location of an entity named "damage-radius."

This will add 1 to the damage-radius objective of only the player that is near the armor stand.

Your other two commands will work as they are.
