How To Make A Scoreboard Shop In Minecraft

Welcome to my Minecraft one.xiv Tutorial on how to make Custom Shops and Custom Currencies

Making Custom Currency

Outset of all Permit's introduce you to a certain command: Scoreboard

[1.13+] Making Custom Shops and Currency

The scoreboard organization is a complex gameplay mechanic utilized through commands. Mainly intended for mapmakers and server operators, scoreboards are used to track, set, and list the scores of entities in a myriad of dissimilar ways.

/scoreboard keeps rails of sure variables for example: totalKillCount

Today I'll be showing you How to make your own Currency using a sure criteria.

Offset of all we'll make a "scoreboard objective"

[1.13+] Making Custom Shops and Currency

/scoreboard objectives add together <name of your objective> <criteria> [<displayName>]

In that location are several criteria you tin make for your custom Currency such as "dummy"

"dummy" objectives' values can simply be changed using commands or Command Blocks

you can employ "dummy" criteria for your Custom Currency if say you lot only want the players to become their money by pressing buttons to activate control blocks

However in this tutorial, we will apply the criteria "totalKillCount" so that our Custom Currency increases everytime we impale any entity

[1.13+] Making Custom Shops and Currency

right now in that command, I named my objective equally "Currency" nonetheless there is even so the <display name> argument but I've already named my objective?

the objective proper name is used when yous're calling on that objective to alter information technology or set a player's objective to a certain number.

the display proper noun is simply what you run into when yous put the scoreboard on a display

For at present nosotros won't tackle the [<display proper name>] because it uses Custom JSON formatting

I've Entered the Command but nada happens when I kill an entity? the value is really irresolute for yous in the groundwork, to see it more clearly permit's put it on the sidebar display

the sidebar is an argument on what brandish the objective volition be put on, some other examples of displays is "belowName" and "list"

Only in this tutorial we volition use "sidebar"

I entered the command but I can't see the objective anywhere?

The objectives only display if any player *has* a value for that objective, wether it exist 0 or 999 or 1283169265

Since our criteria is "totalKillCount" permit's get a value for yous by killing any entity

try summoning a villager and impale information technology.

Find on the correct side of the screen my name has appeared with ii Currency

that means I've killed two entities since the creation of the objective

Congratulations, Y'all've created your ain Custom Currency!

But wait, how do I modify the value of my own Currency?

What if I want to crook work hard and gain lots of coin?

Modifying Values of Scoreboard Objectives

So at present we have a Scoreboard Objective: Currency which counts the total number of kills that thespian has

How exactly do you lot modify the value of players' objective values?

Now nosotros'll be going to /scoreboard players... command

to alter the players' objective values

At that place are alot of commands for modifying players' objectives but in this tutorial nosotros'll be focusing on "prepare", "add", and "remove"

Let's say you lot wanted to reward a player for completing a quest, he gets x Coin for completing the quest, does that mean you give him 10 chickens to kill to increase his scoreboard objective value?

It'due south uncomplicated:

/scoreboard players add @p Currency 10

what is @p? it is an argument for which target to select for your control, in @p it targets the nearest player to the actor using the command, if a player enters that command then naturally the command volition target the player himself there are many possible values such as @a (all players), @due east (all entities), @r (random player) any many more.

/scoreboard players remove...

removes a sure specific value to a player's objective value

/scoreboard players gear up...

sets the player'southward objective value to another specific value

Great! Now you know how to modify a player's Objective Value!

Making Custom Shops

Now that we know how to modify a player'due south objective value.
We can simply claw some remove commands to @p and give them a certain detail for it.

"Merely of course it's not e'er that simple"
is what you would look me to say but actually we tin can make a very (not profitable) Store if we do exactly that

For case:

Permit's make a shop for a Gilded Apple for only 10 Currency

Based on what nosotros've learned so far

we simply need two Command Blocks

/scoreboard players remove @p Currency 10

/give @p minecraft:golden_apple 1

would remove 10 Currency from the nearest player and immediately give i golden apple tree for his Currency

At present, try and go 15 Currency (or type in /scoreboard players set @p Currency 15)

Now we have enough coin to buy One Gilded Apple, and then effort and press the push button.

Slap-up it works this is it for the tutorial!...
Not
Actually effort and printing the push one time more, this time you don't have enough Currency

As y'all can see, the arrangement works Fifty-fifty if the player does NOT have enough Currency

At present we'll delve deeper into how to target players who take enough Currency

Let's go back to the statement for targets on the scoreboard

Equally you lot can come across, placing a square bracket "[" in forepart of the target argument provides u.s.a. with more than options to specify which target to pick

for our case, we demand to target players with a certain score which is x or above/color]

That means only players with 10 or higher up Currency tin can activate our Shop

Equally you can see, we can use @p[scores={}] to specify our targets more

Since our Scoreboard Objective's name is Currency nosotros put in @p[scores={Currency=}]

Then since our Shop needs 10 or more than Currency, we put in "10.."

@p[scores={Currency=10..}]

Notice how there are two dots in front of the x, this signifies as ten+ or "ten or above"

This ways this control will target the nearest player with 10 or more Currency

let's integrate this into our earlier prototype shop

(Note: Brand sure the second control block is set to Chain, Conditional, E'er Active.)

Set your Score to 15 again, and attempt pressing the button two times.

Now the shop relies on if the command block is able to find the nearest actor with 10 or in a higher place Currency, and so remove 10 Currency from that role player and give the nearest player a command cake if the first control block was able to run perfectly.

That'south information technology for the tutorial on making a uncomplicated Custom Shop

However I will be going further into detail on making more than Robust and Advanced Shops

Custom Brandish Name for Scoreboard Objective

This is the aforementioned Currency Objective used in the previous office of the tutorial

The just difference is the displayname argument

the displayname statement in i.13 at present uses JSON formatting for more than customization. This means you can make the text bold, italic, obfuscated or with colour.

The basic format for JSON is simply {"text":"<bulletin>"}

you can add together more to customize your text such as "color":"<color>" or "italic":"<truthful/false>"

For what I have used in the picture above

I used this: {"text":"$ Cash $ ","colour":"green","bold":"true"}

You can brand fifty-fifty more than complex JSON formats in this website

Making More Robust and Advanced Custom Shops

Right now if you have finished the above tutorial, you lot should have a bones Shop where it searches for the nearest player with ten or higher up score and remove 10 score from them, and so giving the nearest actor a gilt apple
What if the nearest histrion that has 10 or above score is more than than chiliad blocks abroad
and so the arrangement volition remove ten cash from that histrion k blocks abroad, BUT there is another much more closer role player to the shop who doesn't accept 10 or to a higher place cash
The system will give the gilded apple to ONLY the nearest player IF the first command cake runs perfectly

It'due south non robust meaning it can fail in certain situations

Going dorsum to our target arguments

we can further specify targets who are shut to the shop

Using what's known equally distance=

if we gear up our target as @p[scores={Currency=10..}] earlier, we only demand to add together a comma and add together 1 more value to farther specify our target

@p[altitude=..four,scores={Currency=10..}]
Find how I used "..4" in the distance, this means the nearest player within iv blocks, if yous gear up it to just "4" that ways information technology will but expect for players exactly 4 blocks away

Now we have solved the problem of the system finding players who aren't the exact target due to range.

There are a number of things we tin can nonetheless better in this nonetheless basic shop

For example, if the system does not notice any players within iv blocks who have 10 or more than greenbacks, it will not requite anyone a golden apple tree.

Which by itself has no trouble. But how exactly will the players know IF the organisation did Non find whatsoever player who fits in the description?

let me introduce yous to the command /tag which can non only improve the robustness of the shop even more, simply also permit you lot to add more commands into the shop, adding more than features. And even discriminate the players who has or who doesn't accept plenty cash and then yous can execute commands for those specific players.

/tag is such a wonderful addition to the i.13* command set

It allows you to tag any player with a specific tag and use @p[tag=<tag>] as a discriminator for players.

What exactly can we exercise with tag to further improve our store?

Permit's rewrite our commands from the earlier command blocks on our simple shop.

* Notation: Guide was made in i.13

/tag @p[distance=..3,scores={Currency=..ix}] add together notEnough

as you tin can see, this command tags the nearest player within three blocks and with a currency score of ix or below with a tag called notEnoughthis means that the player tagged with this tag does non have enough cash to buy the item.

What can nosotros do with a tag?

we tin kill that role player for existence ignorant of signs conspicuously saying you lot demand ten or more cash to buy this particular

nosotros can summon a babe zombie with a speed and forcefulness effect near that player

But enough joking around, how exactly do nosotros execute a control on that player?

well simply set up two command blocks, one repeating and one a concatenation uncondtional.

The repeating command block has this command:

Or any command that y'all want to happen to that player!

using @a[tag=notEnough] means any and all players with notEnough tag will get that command zapped straight to them

BUT we're not washed! (Because if you tag yourself with /tag @p add notEnough you will get this:

Why did this happen? Because the command block is set to Repeating to @a with that tag: notEnough

So how exactly practice we stop the command from spamming u.s.a. with reminders of how poor we are?

Remember I told you to setup some other command block with an unconditional chain setting?

Only nosotros need to remove that tag after we've done what we want to that player with that tag!

This will remove the tag from all players with that tag.

Let's go back to our Store, so far we've set it up so that whenever there is a player within three blocks who doesn't accept enough cash be told that they exercise not take enough cash to buy that item.

Permit's go to the next step, what if the player has enough cash

Like what we've done in the previous department:
