Description
Better Commands 🔗
Adds commands and syntax from a certain other voxel game (such as /kill @e[type=mobs_mc:zombie, distance = 2..]) to Minetest. For compatible command blocks, use my Better Command Blocks mod. I'm basically copying them from a certain other voxel game (whose name will not be mentioned), hereafter referred to as ACOVG.

PLEASE help with bug reports and PR's 🔗
This is kind of a huge project. ACOVG's commands are complicated.
Known Issues: 🔗
- I
can'tam too lazy to figure out how to do quotes or escape characters. This means that you cannot do things like/kill @e[name="Trailing space "]or have]in any part of entity/item/node data. /tpdoes not support thecheckForBlocksargument present in one version of ACOVG. This might change in the future.- Only entities that use
luaentity.nametagorluaentity._nametagfor nametags (and players, of course) are supported by thenameselector argument. This includes all mobs from MCLA/VL and Mobs Redo, but potentially not others. /setblockonly supportsreplaceorkeep, not destroy, and only places nodes usingset_node. Some nodes may not act right since they weren't placed by a player. You could, in theory, look at the node's code and set its metadata.../timedoes not properly add to the day count. This will not be fixed.- Only players and fake players (not other entities) are supported by scoreboards, teams, and entity tags, since other entities don't have UUIDs. This might change.
- Except in MCLA/VL, the
playerKillCountandkilled_by,teamkill, andkilledByTeamobjectives can only track direct kills (so not arrows or explosions, for example). - Objectives cannot be displayed as hearts, although literally the only reason is that there's no good half heart character.
- Team prefixes and suffixes have been replaced with
nameFormat(for example,/team modify a_nice_team nameFormat [Admin] %s the great), where any%sis replaced with the player's name. If your name wassingleplayer, it would appear as[Admin] singleplayer the great. The reason for this is pretty simple: I don't want to figure out how to do quotes, and Minetest removes trailing space, meaning prefixes ending in spaces are impossible. This fixes that. - The
/givecommand is currently unable to give multiple tools (so/give @s default:pick_wood 5will only give 1). This may change. - If you have a respawn point set with
/spawnpoint, there is no way to clear it besides the/clearspawnpointcommand. This will probably not change, since various games and mods set respawn points in different ways, and there's no way to make it compatible with all of them.
Useful!
Great mod! Thanks. Very useful if you are a developer. Many issues, but it is still useful!
Seems to be highly bugged, even when by itself
I had high hopes for this mod, especially since it came with its own command block mod, but it spams "Server: nil" into the console every 3 seconds on the dot, and even more concerningly, there seems to be inconsistencies with which commands are available on each login. the /help menu will list between 1 and 8 commands available, and the ones not on the list just give the 'invalid command' message. I can confirm that, within the same world that had only: this mod, better command blocks, and mesecons (required by command blocks), the 'damage' command was available at one point, but just by relogging seems to have disabled it... also, some commands mentioned in /help will be partial words, such as /w or /tm, which are not from the game-that-shall-not-be-named and cannot be found on the wiki. at least twice, i have used them only to crash to the main menu instantly.
again, had high hopes for this mod, love the concept and wanted to use the scoreboard functions, but there are some serious issues here.
good but
the /help don't working ... make it or make a book in the game for help commands....
