/setblock Command Sucks. I Need Some Help.

yes. it does.


I need some help with /setblock. I'm using this command:

Code:

/setblock ~12 ~ ~1 minecraft:air 0 replace

It says the Block couldn't be placed. Is it because I'm replacing a CMD Block with air?

 

Try setting it with stone instead

Code:

setblock ~12 ~ ~1 stone 0 replace

I haven't played with commandblocks recently, I definitely dont know what i'm doing.

 

I figured it out. I got the Y coordinate off, so it was placing air on air. Thanks! the stone marked why it messed up.

 

You can also set it to simply destroy, instead of using a replace command.

 

These commands will totally not crash your game..

/fill ~10 ~-5 ~10 ~-5 ~-10 ~-5 tnt
/setblock ~ ~-7 ~ redstone_block

 

or make a world with a huge layer of tnt above, redstone torches, and then bedrock.

________________________________

Destroy drops the item, i don't want the command block to drop...

 

/gamerule doTileDrops prevents blocks from dropping.

 

that makes all tiles stop dropping. I need things to drop.

 

What exactly do you need this for though?

 

A map im working on.

 

Well, good luck with your map ;) Be sure to ask here if you do need help though, you'll get more intelligent responses than many others because people here actually play Minecraft ;)

 

command blocks don't drop the item

 

/destroy = Destroys target block resulting in it dropping.
You may always play with /gamerule doTileDrops false, but that doesn't change the fact ;/

 

Command Blocks don't drop items, they can only be broken through Creative and CM doesn't drop items unless there's a certain item.

 

the Destroy modifier on the setblock command will also break a command block, and it will drop the block.

 

That is uneeded. Do /setblock [x] [y] [z] minecraft:[block]
