Detect HEADSHOTS, Make LASER GATES - Precise Hitbox Detection || Minecraft Datapack Tutorial 

Yeah CloudWolf is 10x better than me at data packs, but he focuses more on learning and creating advanced systems as opposed to teaching them in a way everyone understands. He could probably explain it super well if he wanted to but thats probably not his focus.

@@TimberForge he's 10 times better than anyone in datapacks lol

@@TimberForge I was about to comment the same as steven. Thanks for your amazing video. Once I saw the thumbnail in my notifications I immediately thought "today is the day I truly am going to learn hitbox detection". Sorry not sorry CW

Im soo glad people like the animations and explanations I made :D

@@TimberForge Not true at all

its fine we understand :)

Thanks a lot! Im glad my animations are making these concepts clear to people.

Thanks so much! That was the goal, I am trying to make concepts which not too many people fully understand and make them easier to tackle.

Why not?

This comment is incomprehensible but it’s 12:30 so anyways thanks.

Glad I could help make things suck less haha

For sure, the distance examples at the end were to be used in combination with dx like with the zombie.

@@TimberForge yeah but since distance is still spherical, unless you managed to be very very accurate, there is still a small area around the selected body part that is not part of the hitbox

Oh I see, you mean position another separate detection zone relative to the first one, and depending on if the two separate detection zones have the mob in it you could tell where exactly it was hit? Yeah that makes sense too.

Sorry, we are probably not starting it up again soon without suggestions for a rework to the system. Here’s an explanation from the discord: If you want to help set it up or something, or if you have ideas for it, I would be glad to help u, I just didn't continue it because the time spent on it didn't really pay off, and it was a bit hard to get everything organized in a way where a lot of people could participate easily. It's hard to present data packs in a way that many can be easily viewed. (For example in a game jam you just download the game and play, or play in the browser) But for data packs you need to download and install every individual pack, and then you need to set up everything properly in the world and read up on how to set it up and learn what all of the features are before you can even really use it. The way around this is to either make people make a custom map which displays all the features, or to make a video/slideshow/high quality showcase page in planetminecraft(basically just a vertical slideshow) to display the features. But not everyone was able to create a form of presentation like that, which made it hard for a lot of people to really showcase what their data pack did.

Maybe using the player_hurt_entity advancement trigger? Make the hurt entity a player with a distance of minimum 50 blocks and there you go

Atom io with an extension

Lol i stuck in it my testing world so its a mess. If you want to set that up yourself, the fastest way thought of was to put down a grid of item frames on the floor, and then run an execute command to summon noai small slimes in front of all item frames using vector coordinates. I did it 3 times for 3 layers of slimes.

Also you have to reposition the dx detection of the commandblock because by default it runs in the center of the block, but its easier to visualize it if you run it from the corner.

Thanksss

Wot they were normal mobs

@@TimberForge Thanks for the reply, like the new intro. The spider, iron golem and ender dragon looked larger compared to the background. That could be achieved using a resource pack, or fancy editing but the hitboxes (one of the things, to my knowlege datapacks can't change) were larger as well. Thanks, keep up the good work, you inspired me to start creating datapacks :)

Oh hahaha I was flying in the air, and the mobs were also flying in the air. They looked bigger because they were closer to me xD

@@TimberForge Oh. Lol. That's embarrassing :) Thanks anyway! Keep up the good work!

Hello! Glad to have you here!

Which part? The headshots? You can configure the headshots differently for ever mob for whom you want to check headshots. (Just include entity type detection)

You probably want to send your info onto a help channel on the discord. Make sure the send the exact commands you used, how you ran them, and what happens when you run it.

K, i sadly dont have discord, but my friend send a message. I hope someone on the discord can help us :)

@Selfish boy I know it was my friend :)

xD
