Some answers for questions I've been getting a LOT of: *"Why can't you just set the speed to a higher value when right-clicking?"* Short answer: FOV effects. Eating doesn't change your FOV, but attributes and effects do. If you mess with the player's speed while they're eating, their FOV will be increased for the duration, which will look weird. Feel free to do it if you're okay with that - but I personally don't like it. Yes, you can disable this by turning off FOV effects for only yourself, but if you're making a datapack, that would require ALL USERS to do this, which isn't exactly practical. *"Can't you just use /schedule instead of those ticking advancements?"* No, and there are two main reasons why. 1. Scheduling causes conflicts in multiplayer. A scheduled function cannot be assigned an executor (it defaults to just being run by the server console), so you'll lose any information about who the cooldown is for. There ARE workarounds for this, but none of them are as clean as the ticking advancements, which act like a personal timer of sorts. 2. Even if you were able to get around the multiplayer issue, there are issues involved with players disconnecting from the server during their cooldown. A scheduled function would revoke the player's using_item advancement once time is up. The problem is that if the player disconnects from the server before that happens, the function won't have anyone to revoke the advancement from - and when that player reconnects, the schedule will already be over, they'll still have the advancement granted, and they'll effectively be softlocked and unable to use the item again. With the ticking advancements, the player's personal timer also stops when the player leaves, and will resume as normal when the player comes back.

Minecraft needs a "dummy item" that is not used in any crafting recipe, cannot be crafted, smelted, grinded, etc. and has no use at all. itd be useful for map makers and command blockers

Do you really think 1 million seconds is gonna stop me from eating my magic wand?

For extra Silly, use the Continuous Flame Wand for 1000000 seconds anyway. Be the worst wizard in history. “Hey, where’s my wand?” “Sorry, I got hungry.”

it’s still kinda funny that if you hold cast for long enough eventually you’ll start eating your wand

So basically here you explained, how you made a looped advancement cycles to improve optimization by getting rid out of constant tick and making it once upon use tick. Smart

Aw man! I was trying to solve the delay issue by scheduling and unscheduling functions, but this seems much more robust. FWIW, if you still want consumable right click detection, set the time to eat to .05 seconds. Eating is instantaneous (a single tick) and only shows a spray of particles without the eating animation.

yo that's mad! back in 1.19 i figured out how to use a trident to create an item that triggers one effect while you're drawing it back, and another effect when you release. i also made it cancellable by switching offhands :D Oh also i resolved the walking speed issue by setting movement speed attribute to 5 times the normal while drawing back the trident, and setting it back to normal on release or cancel. Works every time 90% of the time…🤣

would be rly cool if you did a comparison video showing the pros and cons of each method (carrot/fungus on a stick, eye of ender, food, knowledge book,...)

This is really cool! You could try giving the player speed when eating, or removing and giving back the item to cancel the eating animation. It could also be cool to have a falling edge wand, that only functions when click is released (like the bow)

Conure: "So, if you need an item that you can use which doesn't slow you down..." Swift Sneak Enchantment: "Hold my enchanting table"

I’m always glad to find another high-quality datapack channel. This is super cool!

i'm glad you popped up in my reccomended two days in a row, seeing another one of your vids made me realize that you're really good at making cleanly edited, entertaining videos. keep it up 👍

the only advantage coas still have is that you don't slow down while using it

Now I just need fully implemented component crafting and I will be happy

These last few videos convinced me to sub to this channel, great job dude!

Im currently working on a spellcasting datapack using your knowledge book method! I think I'm going to incorporate these methods too, as wands or staffs. Love your work!

This channel is sooooo underrated!

This is such an incredible way to do the cooldowns, kudos to you.

You have no idea how amazing this is for me. I have been waiting for right click detection that doesn't involve a carrot on a stick in the offhand or even an eye of ender. All I need now is a way to make the Icon of an item in the hotbar different from how it looks in hand and I can die happy

using advancement as tickless trigger is something fascinating for me

While I don't know all of these magic words, I did enjoy the video lol Congrats on 1k subs Conure!

Amazing ! Clear and straight to the point. Great explanations ty, that's super useful !

The impulse gem is 90% of the way to charging an effect that occurs on release

I like the slowdown when using it because if it's specifically magic usage it makes it seem like you're focusing when using it.

For the delayed wand you can also do a scheduled command loop on the load function and check for advancement to trigger particle (if that's simpler)

To expand on the point you kinda make at the end; I dont think this makes other methods obsolete. Moreso just broadens our options for how exactly we want right-clicking with a given item to work. Two big drawbacks of this method are: - slows player movement while using. - item in hand bobs when initially used. I can definitely think of some applications where those aspects would be desireable, but I think its fair to raise them as limitations, because depending on what you want to do, they can be. The carrot on a stick doesn't bob or slow the player down to use, and can now be given whatever other item components you want it to have to mimic the behaviour of another item(s). But because it isn't *actually* that item, it won't natively have the special mechanics/properties some items have, such as; being throwable, used to lure animals with, used on a certain blocks/entities, as fuel or ingredients in recipes, etc... (this is an advantage of using the desired item with a high eating time - however there are workarounds for most situations. It optionally having durability used to be a plus, but thats a non-factor now.) Goat horns with a specified custom, blank sound file are another option if you want an item with a built-in cooldown timer before it can be used again, but it has the downside of the subtitle still showing up when enabled (which could cause confusion/"break the magic") + the animation, and it still has the same limitations of the carrot on a stick. (of course there are other ways to do cooldowns, and with some custom model data trickery you can have custom cooldowns that look the same as the existing vanilla item cooldowns too - but the benefit here is that its built-in to the item.) Teleporting an interaction entity in the player's face constantly is an option if you want to prevent the player from interacting with the environment altogether, and for both right and left click actions to *only* go through whatever systems you've set up instead... (only really good for specific custom maps that need it, probably not suitable for add-on style data pack content for any old world) Knowledge books are by far the least useful now, but still have a niche... They behave similarly to carrots on sticks, but are consumed when used. (prior to 1.20.5 - before the stack size component was added - this was a perk, but its pretty trivial to delete 1 item now that any of the other methods can be stackable items if you want them to be... Tho I guess if it meets your exact needs in the fewest no. of commands being run then its good for optimization? lol)

This explains why when some mods break, if you right click them it starts the eating animation

this is everything i’ve ever wanted, thank you

thank you. I hope we see more of the good stuff

Congratulations on 1k!

@minecraft please add an food component tag to set a custom walking speed while eating

If it slows you down and is held that means it would be possible to create a custom bow by using the impulse gem except on hold it does nothing except increase a counter if it isn't maxed out, and then when cooldown ticks down from 2 it would create an arrow projectile.

Wow using that last bit you can essentially detect button down and button up, which is even hard to do in some programming languages, also you can get the state if your holding it down at any time by checking of the score is 2

The knowledge book method could actually be cool though, imagine it spawned your spellbook in front of you to shoot the spells out of, before returning to your hand. Also a very natural cooldown mechanic. I was imagining something like the floating book of an enchanting table, but apparently it doesn't come separate from the table which is pain.

I remember when mojang first added advancements. one thing you could do was running commands upon getting an advancement, so obviously people abused it to run commands every tick and get rid of command blocks by moving everything to the advancements. mojang hated that, so they replaced the whole system with functions. it's like i'm seeing history repeat itself... hopefully mojang notices this and adds proper right click detection :)

Mojang not adding the ability to create custom items, mobs, etc. easily with datapacks is the reason why modded will always be preferred over datapacks

How has no one thought of this… oml

You could make a spell book with this, read the book to cast a spell, like a hailstorm or a firewall, have some rare spell books that you actually completely "eat" to cast

gonna be honnest. i love this. about 2 years back i was on a vanila server with some friends and wanted to makea fatapack for simple seats. fpr right clicking i needed to make a command to place a display entity on a block, and a rogjt click on that for riding it, and a helper function to easily delete the nearest seat. but i was never fully happy woth it being display entites cause it would block you from building in that spot unless you has an admin run that deletion command. and the only other option i could ever find was carrot on a stick. NOW, i could mKe a custon recipie for 2 tools, create seat, and break seat. simple tools than when clicking a block make or break a seat display entity like the impulse gem. alternativly, i could have it be that if click and facing stair block, sit player at stair possition. past my own junk, this is revolutionary for a myriad of reasons. caus ethe speed problem is just gove the player a boost by modifying attributes for their speed while clicking and we never have to use carrot on a stick again. blessed be this day, we're no longer a bunch a piggies

this is cursed

A solution to the slowdown might be to give the item a speed atribute increase while active, but that might mess with the fov... Otherwise, this is a big breakthrough!

thats game-changing btw vscode has extensions for syntax highlighting for mcfunction format if you're interested in that, might be easier than notepad

you can also just check for the data food={nutrition:0,saturation:0,can_always_eat:true,eat_seconds:1000000} then you don't need the custom data, unless you need it for something else

Huh, very interesting! I should really get into datapacks

Hell yeah. Makes me want to get back into datapack coding

I think this is better than carrot on a stick because more items that can be used and just combine them with resourcepack(custommodeldata for custom item). Also because if someone using someone’s datapack but they dont want to use the rsp, they wont see carrot on a stick instead they will see an item that can be similar to the resourcepack(sword remodel than carrot on a stick remodel as a sword)

For the third wand, you might be able to use the wand's advancement tick to grant another advancement where particles spawn, and on the wand's advancement tick schedule a function that has a 2 ticks delay with the replace type, which revokes the second advancement, so that after a tick when the wand is released the second advancement is revoked and ready to be granted again

The tick trick is neat. I haven't seen it used in this way, but I generally have done something similar with `schedule` loops. This is nice bc it's per player. I will note, advancements *can* be slower if they are granting every tick so I would make sure that's thought about (a persistent ticking advancement is likely worse than `#minecraft:tick`)

they should add a component saying how slow the player should move when active

Use the movement speed attribute to offset the eating slow

Never knew minecraft eating would be this game changing

Looks like I'll have to update some of my datapacks to 1.20.5 when I get the chance. The changes to crafting items and right click detection actually perfectly solve problems I had with both of my current datapacks, crafting broke in one due to multiplayer quirks with Knowledge Book based crafting and the other added custom swords that needed right click detection which was only possible with a carrot on a stick and warped fungus on a stick which can't have their attack speed changed. The latter actually could be improved further with wind charges (once they get added of course) since I need a dash ability and teleporting the player forward is a little jittery though it gets the job done.

Hey, this is quite impressive. However as a map maker, I pay a lot of attention to the number of lines of code I use to realize a specific ingame function. In terms of the number of code lines, the solution with a carrot on a stick and scoreboard wins. In terms of flexibility, this is definitely the best solution, as you don’t need to make a ressource pack to change the carrot on a stick texture. I'll keep your solution in mind as it is very interesting ;)

Can you counteract the slowdown using speed potion effect? Maybe you could find optimal level of the effect to have normal movement even during right click (except maybe the FOV shift, but that can be disabled in the video settings)

how did you get the custom items like the flame wand and the nether start thing like how did you make it spawn particles that arent food particles

Fun fact, but resetting a scoreboard is actually more laggy, than /set 0

*Just change the speed multiplyer on the held item as long as the player is holding down right click. If you set it to just the right speed, it will negate the slowness*

I'm feeling now very stupid for not knowing, that you can put a return in a function. I never know and used function now for quite a while

are you slowing down your walk while right clicking the item as foods like you eat regular foods?

you could create a flamethrower with actual ammo with this due to it being consumed

1) possible to make a cooldown version? 2) possible to give speed matching normal speed while eating?

how can I invert the logic for the impulse charm so that it counts down when I'm holding it and resets the timer when I stop? (just realized this could be useful for a tau cannon type thing)

Assume I had a tick function in my datapack with ~7 commands, 6 for different types of weapon cooldowns and 1 for right click detection. Performance wise, would it be worth switching from carrots to this new system?

Or, even simpler, you can schedule a function on the advancement ticking to revoke it. I think it should do the trick

04:00 you could also simply schedule a function that has the /advancement revoke for the original advancement. I am pretty sure the tick advancement is not free, the game internally most likely checks every tick if the advancement is granted, and might have additional overhead from checking if the advancement has conditions, etc. I am not sure if this is better than an execute if in a ticking function, needs benchmarking, and/or code analysis.

Congrats @satwr on getting in a video!

Could you add a speed boost effect to the function to negate the "eating" debuff?

I actually didn't know about the food thing. I need to keep up with things better.

Make it apply a speed effect when eating

Could you give the items a cooldown by switching the them in the player’s inventory multiple times (with different durabilities to imitate a cooldown bar)?

For the movement speed, maybe you could probaby attribute modifier the player with some movement speed to counter them and remove the modifier when they are done using the item.

to prevent the speed loss from holding right click with this method, could you increase the player's movement speed to compensate while they're using the item?

In theory could you create an overheating system utilizing the eating function returning a temporary item upon completing the eating animation?

Nice no more eye of ender trick.

why don’t they add a new item component that contains the name of a function to run when the item is right clicked and another for left click?

clever and perfect!

Can you not just give the player speed while they're using the wand ro avoid the issue wutg eating slowing you down?

How did you make the recipe output include additional components?

Can you make the eat time 0 and the chorus-style delay to 20 or whatever?

is there a way to visualize the delay like in actual weapons and consumables?

9:49 or while you're using the item set your base attribute speed to the normal speed to cancel out the slowdown

Sorry bit confused what is the purpose of having a second advancement? Since you can have a cooldown that gets added on right click and subtract it till it reaches zero on a mcfunction connected to the tick.json file. That mcfunction file and cooldown I thought would be tick accurate am I wrong? Is this method more performant since not always running that check command every tick?

You could change the player's base speed attribute when the item is being used then reset the attribute when the player is no longer right clicking. that way the play could walk at the same speed regardless of if they are useing the spell, to be clear i mean player attribute not speed effect.

What's wrong with interactions ?

1.20.5 is already out ;) cant wait to see what you can do with the new stuff

Hey, since bowl items return their bowl when you eat them, could you A: set the return item to something useful and B: Use an instant eat time, to detect right clicks that way?

isn't there a way to change player speed without changing the FOV? on lots of non-modded servers i've been in there's a walkspeed command, which changes playerspeed without changing the fov, isn't that a datapack?

You can also use ender eye in end and nether for this, I guess. Also works in superflat worlds without structures Btw can horns somehow be used to do something like this?

Could you fix the movement by increasing movement speed while right clicking?

When interaction entity

hey i watched the last video but didn’t comment. You said that the problem with knowledge books is that they disappear after use in survival, couldn’t you just have a function that triggers whenever that book is not in your inventory anymore and then gives you an identical one? i don’t know much about datapack development but i think that could be possible, exept if the only way to detect that is to run something every tick that checks your inventory, then it defeats the whole purpose. Great content btw!

for single use right clicking, what happens if you set the eating time to 0?

You can also just use the schedule command instead of making a whole timer to remove the advancement, but nice technique!

What if you give the player speed for 1 for every tick this used. Would it mess with the FOV too much?

I like to use the warped fungus on a stick

Can you make the code window larger in the future?

idk much about datapacks, but can the horns properties be used for right click detection?

there is also the "interaction" entity it was added reciently and is kinda like a marker but i can store player interaction i made right clike detection with it some time ago but i cant find the world file. and this method is prettier anyways

Idk how I got here but I enjoyed the video, not that I'll ever do anything with this knowledge.
