Experimental Features

GameTest Framework

              Added new entity query capabilities in the form of new methods on Dimension and World.

  • World object
    • Replaced function getPlayers : Player[] with function getPlayers(options: EntityQueryOptions = undefined) : EntityIterator- Returns an iterator to a collection containing all players in the dimension. Optionally, options can be used to filter the result
    • Added optional argument to events.addEffect. This argument will limit the callback to only fire for specific entities (see EntityEventOptions)
  • Dimension object
    • Added function getPlayers(options: EntityQueryOptions = undefined) : EntityIterator- Returns an iterator to a collection containing all players. Optionally, options can be used to filter the result
    • Added function getEntities(options: EntityQueryOptions = undefined) : EntityIterator- Returns an iterator to a collection containing all entities in the dimension. Optionally, options can be used to filter the result
  • EntityQueryOptions
    • Added class EntityQueryOptions- Provides additional filtering options when calling getEntities and getPlayers
  • EntityQueryScoreOptions
    • Added class EntityQueryScoreOptions- Used with EntityQueryOptions to provide scoreboard filtering
  • EntityEventOptions
    • Used to filter events that fire on entities to restrict the callback to only certain ones.
    • Property entity: Entity[] - If specified, will restrict to just this entity
    • Property entityTypes: string[] - If specified, will restrict to entities with the specified type (e.g., minecraft:creeper)
