ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS FOR COMMAND BLOCKS

Hello this one of my ideas for additional function of our Command Blocks.

 

An option on the "Condition" of Command Block.

The are currently two (2) conditions in Command Block: Conditional and Unconditional.

So I came up with the Idea what if there's a command block that will not execute a command for some reason and I start thinking of ONE THING and I called it REVERSED CONDITIONAL (sorry that's the only name I can think lol)

So how it will works?

  • Unlike the Conditional and Unconditional, Reversed Conditional will not execute a command if command block behind it executes its command successfully.

I think this idea will make some things easier and this is one example that Reversed Conditional can be use for:

  • There's a Impulse Command Block and a redstone connection where enables the command to be executed continuously: '/testforblock 0 6 0 stone'
  • Place another Repeat Command Block (Reversed Conditional, Always Active) where the first Impulse Command Block is facing. And its command will apply blindness to all players.
  • So what will happen? If a player place a 'stone' in the coordinate x=0, y=6, z=0, the Impulse C.B. will detect the stone then it also means it execute its command successfully. Then the Repeat C.B. stops executing its /effect command because it was set on Reversed Conditional and the Impulse (which is behind of it) execute command successfully.

So yeah that's it and I hope you like it. I still have a lot ideas but I can't put it on single post. Have a good day.

    While I would have supported this idea maybe back before 1.12, nowadays it is recommended that most commands be run using datapacks and functions. This particular scenario can easily be done using /execute unless.

    DokterKaj You are technically correct for Java Edition, but I would like to say this would still be helpful in Bedrock Edition too. I support this feature request, but a more broad idea would be to add the /stats command to Bedrock Edition, allowing for further flexibility of the result.
