Minecraft – Testfor specific held item with a certain name and lore

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I am trying to test if the player is holding a piece of paper named "Ticket" with a lorestring saying that the ticket is not punched. I have the following:

/testfor @p[r=10] {SelectedItemSlot:0,Inventory:[{Slot:0b,tag:{display:{Name:"Ticket",Lore:[This is a punched ticket.]}}]}

I can get it to work with just the Name but I can't get it to work with both the name and lore. How do I fix this?

You are missing a closing curly bracket for the item data:

/testfor @p[r=10] {SelectedItemSlot:0,Inventory:[{Slot:0b,tag:{display:{Name:"Ticket",Lore:["This is a punched ticket."]}}}]}

However, I recommend using the SelectedItem compound tag instead of checking for each individual hotbar slot. SelectedItem will contain a copy of the player's currently-held item (minus the Slot tag), such that you do not need to have multiple command blocks for each slot:

/execute if entity @p[distance=..10,nbt={SelectedItem:{tag:{display:{Name:"\"Ticket\"",Lore:["This is a punched ticket."]}}}}] run <command>

Minecraft – Testfor block with custom name

When you place a named block, it loses its name tag, making it impossible to detect if it was ever named. What you can do, however, is set a custom data value:

/setblock ~ ~ ~ diamond_block 1

Then, replace detect ~ ~-1 ~ diamond_block 0 with diamond_block 1. You can use values 1 through 15, but values above 15 are not supported.

Note: In some versions of the game (and possibly the latest updates), blocks with custom data may have a missing texture, and the custom data may not be saved properly. You'll have to look into this yourself as I can't test it at the moment.

Minecraft Java Edition Commands – How to Remove Armor/Any Item with a Specific Name?

The NBT data for /clear (and /give and /replaceitem) is already starting within the tag compound of the item format, which will be compared to each of the player's slots automatically. Setting the Damage value to -1 allows finding any Damage value. The Damage value is also specified before the maximum number of items to remove, which you can also set to -1 to clear all items.

/clear <player> [id] [Damage] [maximum amount] {tag}
/clear @a[tag=!testtag] minecraft:leather_boots -1 -1 {display:{Name:"test"}}
