PlayerAction

A Minecraft datapack library that wraps various player actions into selector and function tag calls. While the majority of these hooks are easy to implement, it may be convenient to abstract them behind this library. This library currently handles:

• Right click detection using Interaction Entities or COAS/WFOAS
• Interactioning with certain blocks
• Interacting with certain entities
• Detecting movement
• Detecting riding entities

This is an embedded library, so you package it inside your datapack as opposed to having a separate download. Requires LanternLoad to operate.

NBT Format

These are NBT data specifications for items, storage, or entities that hold special data.

Items that should use Villager based click detection when held. Clicks are passed back by function tags.
Item.components."minecraft:custom_data".player_action{click_detection:1b}

Scoreboards

These are scoreboard objectives used to represent a value of some kind.

player_action.data
  Used for math and passing variables between functions.

player_action.uuid.0
player_action.uuid.1
player_action.uuid.2
player_action.uuid.3
  These 4 scoreboards hold a players UUID. Do not modify these manually.

player_action.x
player_action.y
player_action.z
  These 3 scoreboards hold a players position, using a scale of x70
  (the largst possible withouth causing over/under flow). Do not modify these manually.

player_action.<action>
player_action.<block>
  There are many scoreboard values covering various interactions. These are used internally
  and should not be access directly.

Selector Tags

These are tags (added throught the /tag command) that mark entities as being something, or as needing to do something.

Players will have these tags when activly performing the corresponding action:
 - player_action.moving: any movement, even if not a direct player input (such as falling)
 - player_action.flying: creative mode flight
 - player_action.walking
 - player_action.falling
 - player_action.climbing
 - player_action.elyra_flying
 - player_action.swimming
 - player_action.sneaking
 - player_action.sprinting
 - player_action.riding_pig
 - player_action.riding_boat
 - player_action.riding_mule
 - player_action.riding_llama
 - player_action.riding_horse
 - player_action.riding_donkey
 - player_action.riding_strider
 - player_action.riding_minecart

Function Tags

Functions tags are called by PlayerAction to inform you an event has happened. To use these calls, you must implement your desired actions in a function and add it to the target function tag list. Remember that function tag calls do not target a specific datapack, so you will need to verfiy the conditions are correct before applying actions (like check if a player is holding a special item when right clicking):

function #player_action:v1/died
  Triggers whenever a players dies.
  
function #player_action:v1/enchanted
  Triggers whenever a player enchants an item.
  
function #player_action:v1/joined
  Triggers whenever a player joins the world, either loading a world
  in single player or joining a multiplayer server.
  
function #energy:v1/jumped
  Triggers player_action a player jumps.
  
function #player_action:v1/left_click
  Triggers when a player left clicks while holding a click-detection enabled item (see NBT format).
  
function #player_action:v1/right_click
  Triggers when a player right clicks while holding a click-detection enabled item (see NBT format),
  or when they right click a Carrot on a Stick or Warped Fungus on a Stick.

The following tags trigger when a player interacts with a block. In most cases this means opening a GUI,
but can also be caused by placing an item on a campfire for example.
  function #player_action:v1/interact_block
  function #player_action:v1/open_gui
  
  function #player_action:v1/interact_anvil
  function #player_action:v1/interact_barrel
  function #player_action:v1/interact_beacon
  function #player_action:v1/interact_blast_furnace
  function #player_action:v1/interact_brewingstand
  function #player_action:v1/interact_cake
  function #player_action:v1/interact_campfire (both types)
  function #player_action:v1/interact_cartography table
  function #player_action:v1/interact_cauldron
  function #player_action:v1/interact_chest
  function #player_action:v1/interact_crafting_table
  function #player_action:v1/interact_dispenser
  function #player_action:v1/interact_dropper
  function #player_action:v1/interact_enderchest
  function #player_action:v1/interact_flower_pot
  function #player_action:v1/interact_furnace
  function #player_action:v1/interact_grindstone
  function #player_action:v1/interact_hopper
  function #player_action:v1/interact_jukebox
  function #player_action:v1/interact_lectern
  function #player_action:v1/interact_loom
  function #player_action:v1/interact_noteblock
  function #player_action:v1/interact_shulker_box
  function #player_action:v1/interact_smithing_table
  function #player_action:v1/interact_smoker
  function #player_action:v1/interact_stonecutter
  function #player_action:v1/interact_trapped_chest

How to use

1. Install LanternLoad in your datapack
2. Copy the data/player_action folder into your data pack
3. Merge the contents of PlayerAction/data/load/tags/functions/load.json and your own data/load/tags/functions/load.json
4. Implement the API as described above.
