Minecraft – way to test for an item that hasn’t been renamed

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

This is for adventure mode.

Is there a way to test for an item that hasn't been renamed?

I'm trying to test if a player has an item

(ie. wooden pickaxe)

and then i want to replace it with the same type of item with a different tag

(ie. wooden pickaxe named super miner and can destroy stone).

The way i have it it replaces the normal pickaxe with the custom pickaxe but then it replaces the custom pickaxe with a 2nd custom pickaxe and it keeps going.

I tried several commands but i could not find a way to check if a item was not renamed.

You can check, if a pickaxe was crafted:

Create a scoreboard:

/scoreboard objectives add craftedPick stat.craftItem.minecraft.wooden_pickaxe

Then the following commands in a chain:

/give @a[score_craftedPick_min=1] minecraft:wooden_pickaxe 1 1 {YOUR_TAGS}
/scoreboard players remove @a[score_craftedPick_min=1] craftedPick 1
/clear @a minecraft:wooden_pickaxe 0 1

Plugin to create those command block text entities: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/commanddesciptor.23870/

Minecraft – way to define a custom sprite for a specific item or block using command blocks

in versions before 1.8.3 I know that you could make armourstands with custom playerheads just larger than a block. in the newest versions, howerver, custom playerheads do not work, I wouldnt use new versions for command blocks for several other reasons, too, such as rendomized dispensers.

Minecraft – way to set an “Adventure Mode Boundary” in Minecraft

While @BassetHound has given a nice and easy solution, I'd like to provide a more powerful and robust solution, in case the protected area is not adequately described by a sphere of radius R. For example, your server might have a main road that is off-limits, but players are encouraged to build houses next to it, or catacombs beneath.

To do so, we'll set up a scoreboard objective, which will be changed based on the location of the player, allowing us to define the protected area with multiple different commands, thus allowing arbitrary shapes.

Start by setting up the objective itself, let's call it inTown:

scoreboard objectives add inTown dummy

Now, create a fill clock and run the following commands

scoreboard players set @a inTown 0
scoreboard players set @a[score_inTown=0,x=X1,y=Y1,z=Z1,dx=dX1,dy=dY1,dz=dZ1] inTown 1
scoreboard players set @a[score_inTown=0,x=X",y=Y2,z=Z2,dx=dX2,dy=dY2,dz=dZ2] inTown 1
...
scoreboard players set @a[score_inTown=0,x=XN,y=YN,z=ZN,dx=dXN,dy=dYN,dz=dZN] inTown 1

Each of these will define an area from (Xn,Yn,Zn) to (Xn+dXn,Yn+dYn,Zn+dZn) as part of your town, and set the score for players in that area to 1. If a player is not in any of these areas, his score will remain at 0 instead.

Of course, you can use other target selector arguments to define your area as well.

Now, add two commands to the end of your clock to set the gamemodes correctly:

gamemode 0 @a[score_inTown=0,m=2]
gamemode 2 @a[score_inTown_min=1,m=0]

Adding the m selector ensures that gamemodes are only set when appropriate. Players in spectator or creative mode are not affected. Just before changing the gamemode, you could use the same target selectors as above to inform your players of the change using the tellraw or title commands.
