Minecraft – Put an execute command inside another execute command

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

Is it possible to put a "double conditional" in a command block (two execute commands in the same command), like so:

/execute foo run execute bar run command

Is this possible?

Best Answer

Yes, it is possible. In fact, a /execute command with multiple parameters remains functionally the same if you add the words run execute in between each parameter.

For example, these two are equivalent:

/execute as @p at @s if entity @p[distance=..10] run say Hi!
/execute as @p run execute at @s run execute if entity @p[distance=..10] run say Hi!

Therefore, there is no need to place multiple /execute commands within each other. It remains the same putting all the parameters in one command.

For your double conditional, all you need to do is include multiple if/unless parameters:

/execute if entity @p[tag=tagA] if entity @p[tag=tagB] run say hello worl

Minecraft – Execute command relative to block

if you know the location of the block relative to the command block, you can simply do /execute ~ ~ ~ /[command] and execute the particle effect spawning command at a space relative to the command block, so if you bury it 5 blocks deep and want to make the stone above it smoke, i think you'd do ~0 ~0 ~5 for the location, you'll have to experiment with this on your own, for further details, please look on youtube for "Sethbling" and look at his previous snapshot videos, in which he covered the particle effect feature of the command block.

Minecraft – How to join two lines of conditional chain command blocks without resorting to redstone

You can use CommandStats to simulate an OR gate while reducing the amount of required command blocks (since you'd essentially be running two commands for the price of one).

Prerequisites

Objective to hold the CommandStats result.

/scoreboard objectives add Condition dummy

Single armor stand to summon, which could also be used for other chains that needs it (as its score is to be reset at the beginning of the chains). This will be the entity subject to CommandStats.

/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["conditional"]}

Mechanism

Example mechanism (you can swap out the impulse for a repeating block):

Command blocks 2 and 3 will be the initial conditional blocks, where if either are successful you would run more commands. Place a temporary command block above each of them, place the following command inside it, and activate it (you would otherwise just run the command yourself, but the character limit was exceeded):

/stats block ~ ~-1 ~ set SuccessCount @e[type=ArmorStand,tag=conditional,score_Condition=0] Condition

Now if either of those two commands run, the armor stand will have their "Condition" score set equal to the number of successful iterations of the command.

However, it will only target the armor stand if it has a "Condition" score of 0. This means that if either of them are successful, the score will be 1 and will remain at 1 even if the next command block is unsuccessful.

Commands

The following are the commands for the example mechanism above.

Set the armor stand's "Condition" score to 0. This is needed so it can be targeted by this chain again.
```
/scoreboard players set @e[type=ArmorStand,tag=conditional] Condition 0
```
One of the conditionals to check. The success of this command will trigger its stored CommandStats.
```
/scoreboard players test #DAYTIME daytime 0 1000
```

The second conditional to check.

/scoreboard players test #DAYTIME daytime 12000 13000

After the conditionals have finished, the armor stand will have a score of 1 if either of them were successful. You can then detect this armor stand with a score of 1.
```
/testfor @e[type=ArmorStand,tag=conditional,score_Condition_min=1,c=1]
```
Command(s) to run if either of the conditionals were successful.
```
/say The time is either 0-1000 or 12000-13000.
```
