Minecraft – Take damage at night time in the overworld unless in the nether

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I'm trying to sort out a command which forces players to return to the nether after night comes in the overword.

For example, at night all players in the overworld will be struck with the hunger effect. once they've returned to the nether, they will be cleared of the effect.

you can use the output of a daylight detector to determine if it is nighttime. Connecting the redstone to a commandblock, which is set to "needs redstone" and "repeat". This creats a commandblock that executes the same command over and over at night.

with the command:

/effect @a[nbt={Dimension:1}] minecraft:hunger 2 2

this will cause everyone to get the hunger debuff as long as they don't return to the nether

NOTE: If you want this to work all the time you need to place this in the spawn chunk

Minecraft – How to make a teleport command that does not work in the Nether

This is almost a version of @MrLemon's answer. Run the following command once:

/scoreboard objectives add Dimension dummy

Put the following commands on a fill/fast clock:

/scoreboard players set @a Dimension -2 {Dimension:-2}
/scoreboard players set @a Dimension -1 {Dimension:-1}
/scoreboard players set @a Dimension 0 {Dimension:0}

Then do the tp as following:

/tp @a[score_tpHome_min=1,score_Dimension_min=0] 68 68 68

How this works is it gets the player dimension by setting the scoreboard objective Dimension to the dimension that they are in.

a possible workaround might be to execute off of an entity in the nether.

something like this could work, granted there is a zombie pigman somewhere in the loaded nether (and not in the overworld...)

/execute @e[type=zombie_pigman,c=1] ~ ~ ~ /particle largesmoke 200 200 200 0 0 0 0.05 30

a more reliable way would be, to use multiple commands in quick succession to test whether or not there is a player in the nether and then execute off of them:

/scoreboard players tag @a add inNether {Dimension:-1}
/execute @a[tag=inNether,c=1] ~ ~ ~ /particle largesmoke 200 200 200 0 0 0 0.05 30
/scoreboard players tag @a[tag=inNether] remove inNether

all of those commands can be run in this order from the console and they should work just fine.
