Minecraft – What am I doing wrong: /execute if entity @p positioned 0 20 0 run say Minecraft

minecraft-java-edition

So, the command block should say 'Minecraft' only if a player stands at 'xyz: 0 20 0'. But it does so no matter where I stand. Could somebody tell me what I did wrong and fix this command please?

/execute if entity @p positioned 0 20 0 run say Minecraft

I'm playing on a single player creative world on Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.3.

What's the error?

You thought the command would say, "If there is a player positioned at 0 20 0, say Minecraft."

However, it actually says, "Locate the nearest player; if one is found, make the command execute positioned at 0 20 0: say Minecraft"

How to fix it?

/execute positioned 0 20 0 if entity @p[distance=..1] run say Minecraft

This command says "Execute this command positioned at 0 20 0: locate the nearest player within 1 block radius of the command's execution position; if one is found, say Minecraft".

Minecraft execute detect command not working

It will succesfully run the command, but when you check the commandblock you aren't standing above a wool block, so it says '[21:28:27] Failed to execute 'detect' as Heroblind55246'. Try to do something like this:

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-4 ~ minecraft:wool 15 say hi

I hope it will work!

Minecraft execute tellraw’s clickEvent from original entity, not player

Do this for all of your armor stands. I believe this is the only way for it to work. It is going to be more command blocks, but I think its the only working one.

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=(insertname)] ~ ~ ~ tellraw @a[score_goto=-1]
  {
    "selector": "@e[type=ArmorStand,r=1]",
    "clickEvent": {
      "action": "run_command",
      "value": "/tp @p @e[type=ArmorStand,name=(insertname)]"
    },
    "color":"blue"
  }
