Minecraft – How to put players in a team on their first join in Vanilla Minecraft?

minecraft-java-edition

So I've figured out parts of this.

I know I can use commandblocks to achieve it.

I know I can use them to add a player to a team either when they step on a pressure plate, or just have the commandblock repeat the command (though this floods chat.)

From what I gather, in the past this involved using the scoreboard. Past solutions no longer work as the syntax has changed.

I need a joining player to be forced into a team. Any method possible in vanilla Minecraft is acceptable.

I'd like to avoid using touchplate or switches as those can be broken, even unintentionally.

Please help.

to prevent chat spam from command blocks you can do

/gamerule commandBlockOutput false

then you need to create a team to join

/team add teamName

and then just on repeat run

/team join teamName @a[team=]

this just joins anyone who's not in a team already to some default team.

First of all, let's talk about the mistake you are making:

Your testfor command output will be permanently on, as long as there is at least one player with 30 to 49 levels, meaning the scoreboard command will only be run if there was no player in that range and then there is.

Secondly, @p[something] will always target the player nearest to the execution position that qualifies for "something". You'll need to use @a in the team join command.

That said, lucky for you the testfor is completely unnecessary^*. scoreboard can do the job perfectly fine on it's own.

/scoreboard teams join (team) @a[lm=30,l=49,team=!(team)]

The latter part of the command prevents people from being added to the same team multiple times. If there is no-one in that level range (or all of them are assigned a team already), the command will simply not add anyone to the team.

^{* In most cases, execute is strictly better than testfor}
