Minecraft Java Edition – What is the Maximum Number of Tags a Mob Can Have

minecraft-java-edition

In minecraft 1.16.1, If you run this command two times: /tag @p add test you will get a message that says, Target either already has the tag or has too many tags. So that means i know there is a limit in how many tags a mob can have at the same time but how high is that limit? Is it something i need to be worried for to hit?

Best Answer

No, you don't need to be worried. Look carefully:

Target either already has the tag or has too many tags.

Here is what happens:

First run

Minecraft adds the tag test to the player.

Second run

Minecraft tries to add the tag test to the player but it already exists. So it throws the error.

I don't know the limit off-hand, but it should be more than you ever need.

Minecraft Java Edition – Height Limits Above Clouds

As of 1.2.1, the build limit doubled from 128 to 256, while cloud height appears to not have moved. This means you actually have more room to build above the clouds (about 128) than you do between sea level and the clouds (about 64).

As of Beta 1.8, clouds now appear above the build limit. Notch also claims to have made the level height more consistent throughout the code, which leads me to assume that the ~~clouds will always remain above the build limit regardless of that actual number~~.

I tested this by building the tallest possible pillar in creative mode. Standing on top of it (picture 1) puts your head just above the clouds. Flying beside it (picture 2) confirms that the clouds are above the build limit. Standing on a 1 meter shorter pillar puts the clouds just above your head, meaning that the clouds are about 1.5 meters above the build limit.

Standing on the height cap. Flying beneath the clouds.

Minecraft – Detect lightning strikes

We cannot select LightningBolt in a target selector so we cannot detect all mobs around a lightning bolt. Instead we can detect all mobs that have a lightning bolt around them.

Setup:

/scoreboard objectives add Selector dummy
/scoreboard objectives add Initiated dummy
/scoreboard objectives add Marker dummy
/scoreboard objectives add Charged dummy
/scoreboard objectives add Change dummy
/scoreboard objectives add Kill dummy

Clock:

/scoreboard players set <Select Original Mob> Selector 1
/execute @e[score_Selector_min=1,score_Initiated=0] ~ ~ ~ summon Creeper ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:Marker,CustomNameVisible:0,Invulnerable:1,NoAI:1,Silent:1,PersistenceRequired:1}
/scoreboard players set @e[type=Creeper] Marker 1 {CustomName:Marker,CustomNameVisible:0,Invulnerable:1,NoAI:1,Silent:1,PersistenceRequired:1}
/scoreboard players set @e[score_Selector_min=1,score_Initiated=0] Initiated 1
/execute @e[score_Selector_min=1,score_Initiated=1] ~ ~ ~ tp @e[type=Creeper,r=1,c=1,score_Marker_min=1] @e[score_Selector_min=1,score_Initiate=1,r=0,c=1]
/scoreboard players set @e[type=Creeper,score_Marker_min=1] Charged 1 {CustomName:Marker,CustomNameVisible:0,Invulnerable:1,NoAI:1,Silent:1,PersistenceRequired:1,powered:1}
/execute @e[type=Creeper,score_Charged_min=1] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players set @e[score_Selector_min=1,score_Initiate=1,r=1,c=1] Change 1
/scoreboard players set @e[type=Creeper,score_Marker_min=1] Kill 1
