Using Books in Command Blocks

A "simple" change:

Make a UI-Change to the Command Block so we can put one Item written book in it (Signed or not). Make the command block have priority to execute the contents of the book instead of the command line.

This change would not only give command block engineers much more freedom within the game, It would also be more beginner friendly since the single line interface can be quite the deterrent for people that wanna try it out.

The priority of which code runs could maybe be toggled you have a bit of room to play here.

 

Have a nice Day!

    Or, just negate the single-line format by making the command block interface show multiple lines. Similar to executing a written book, but just without the extra "make-a-written-book" step.

    To be fair though, the base idea is charming; putting a book in a command block to execute commands.

    How would you specify if chains should be powered by default? Or delays? Or if it is conditional? If that block stops getting powered during execution (i.e. via a setblock inside of the command block), does the entire list stop executing, or just only execute once for every command? Does a repeating command block only fire again once every command is run, and with delays how would that work? Would the delay be added to the total delay time of all the commands inside the block? It’s definitely not a bad idea, but definitely brings up a lot of questions that would definitely not be self-explanatory and would probably end up causing a lot of research to be needed to use these. Also, the way they are now is somewhat self-explanatory. Besides for what chain command blocks are meant for being not super obvious, everything else is pretty self-explanatory.
