Minecraft – Quotes ignore brackets

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I am trying to place a sign to copy the use of Essentials' [Buy] Command, using this command:

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ wall_sign 5 replace {id:Sign,Text1:"[Buy]"}

But that command gives me this when it is executed

It seems as if even though the brackets are in Quotes, the command is seeing them as an exectuable string. Is there a way to bypass this?

I ended up using a work-around. Apparently /blockdata Doesn't ignore brackets in quotes. So instead of the /setblock I used

/blockdata ~ ~-1 ~ { Text1: "{ text:\"[Buy]\", color:dark_blue,clickEvent: { action:run_command, value:\"/setblock ~-2 ~ ~ redstone_block\" } }",Text2:"All Purchases",Text3:"Are Non-", Text4:"Refundable!"}

To make the sign.

There are a couple things wrong with this.

/setblock ~2 ~2 ~ minecraft:chest 0 destroy{Items:[id:175'Count:1,Slot:0,tag:{Name:"jumping joy"}}}]}

For one thing, there's no space after "destroy". Next, tag:{Name:"jumping joy"} is not the syntax to name an item. You'll need to use tag:{display{Name:"jumping joy"}} for that. Next, you have a single quote instead of a comma after id:175. Lastly, you should not be using numerical item ID's if you're in version 1.8 or later. They're depreciated in 1.8, and removed in 1.9 and upwards.

Minecraft – the correct syntax for using a command block to place a wall sign

The text portion should be specified in JSON format.

Example command:

/setblock <x> <y> <z> wall_sign 4 replace {Text2:"{\"text\":\"Room\"}",Text3:"{\"text\":\"Two\"}"}

I recommend visiting the wiki on signs, specifically the block entity section for more information.
