Minecraft – Teleport unknown amount of players to a specific area

minecraft-bedrock-editionminecraft-commands

I'm making a server full of mini-games, and I'm running into small problems on specific games. I got everything set up except for this issue:

In racing games, I'm having trouble teleporting the winner (or top 3, I know how to place them) to a "podium": I don't know how to let the game know how many players there are, and teleport the winners into one area and everybody else into another.

Best Answer

I'm not entirely sure how to fix the first problem but the second one can be solved by using /tag (Insert target selector for winning players) add Winners and then using /tp @a [tag=!Winners] <x,y,z> to teleport the rest of the players. /tag gives a specific data tag to players or entities that helps specify who you want your commands to affect.

Minecraft command to clear all but one item entity (tile) type

In 1.13 and above, this can be done with the following command:

/kill @e[type=item,nbt=!{Item:{id:"minecraft:blue_banner"}}]

The following solution is for version 1.8:

First, create a dummy scoreboard objective:

/scoreboard objectives add ItemToRemove dummy

Whenever you want to clean up the dropped items, run these commands in this order:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] ItemToRemove 1
/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item,x=40,y=1,z=40,dx=40,dy=27,dz=80] ItemToRemove 0 {Item:{id:"minecraft:banner",Damage:4s}}
/kill @e[score_ItemToRemove_min=1]

What this does is set all item's ItemToRemove score to 1, sets the banner's ItemToRemove score back to 0, then kills everything with a minimum of 1 ItemToRemove score.

1.9 Solution

Place the following command in a repeating command block set to always active:

/execute @a[x=a,y=b,z=c,r=d] ~ ~ ~ tp @p e f g

Where:

a, b, and c are the XYZ co-ordinates that you want to teleport players from
d is the radius in blocks around that point where players will be selected (min 1)
e, f, and g are the XYZ co-ordinates that you want to teleport players to (i.e. the destination)

1.8 Solution

Use the same command as above, but since no repeating command blocks exist, place the command block on a fill clock.
