A /range Command

Have you ever wanted to have a low gravity zone? Or a ray of death?

/range would execute a specific command WITHIN a SPECIFIC area.

For example:
/range ~ ~ ~ ~10 ~10 ~10 effect @a jump_boost 1 1 true
This example command ^ would give all players in a 10x10x10 area relative to the player jump boost 1 for 1 second.

It could be used with the /execute command like this:
/range 20 60 20 40 61 40 execute afterlifepro794 ~ ~ ~ clear
It would mean that if afterlifepro794 entered that area they would get their inventory cleared.

It could be used for map-makers to make areas players cant go into, anti-gravity chambers and loads more!

  This is already possible, using target selector arguments. You may know about r and rm selecting targets within a spherical radius, but if you are trying to make a rectangular selection box, you should learn the arguments dx, dy, and dz, which allow you to set up a rectangular prismic "selection box". When used, only entities within that box will be selected.

  How to Use

  You place these arguments in the square brackets of a target selector, just like all other arguments:

  @a[x=__,y=__,z=__,dx=__,dy=__,dz=__]

  The tricky part is knowing what values to fill in. You fill in dx, dy, and dz with the length, height, and depth of the selection box. For example, for 3 blocks long, 4 blocks high and 5 blocks deep, fill in 3 for dx, 4 for dy, and 5 for dz.

  For the x, y, and z arguments, fill those in with the coordinates of the lower northwest corner of the desired target area.

  Your examples

  Here are your examples in the correct form:

  effect @a[x=~,y=~,z=~,dx=9,dy=9,dz=9] jump_boost 1 1 true
  clear @a[name=afterlifepro794,x=20,y=60,z=20,dx=19,dy=0,dz=19]

  Target selector arguments are very useful for selecting targets in a certain range. This should solve your problem.
