Hello! My name is bigfoot49211, and this is my tutorial on using the /summon command that has been added in the 1.7 snapshot(s)! You are currently reading post:[ 04 ]of my tutorial. I will post more on seperate blog posts, so that you can learn everything you can about this amazing new feature!


Part Four: Item summoning!


[Introduction]Yes! It's finally been done! I have created a simple way to summon items using /summon! =D

[b][Video][/b]I created a tutorial/showcase of the feature on youtube so that i could simplify the way i explained it.

[youtube]9XAuUKgki5g[/youtube]
[url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XAuUKgki5g&feature=youtu.be]Or you can click here to watch the video on YouTube.[/url]

[b][Syntax] [/b]The syntax to summon in a custom item entity is as follows:

[size=small]/[/size][size=small]summon Item x y z {Item:{id:[/size][size=small][color=rgb(255,255,255)][bgcolor=rgb(0,0,0)]idgoeshere[/bgcolor][/color][/size][size=small],Damage:[/size][size=small][color=rgb(255,255,255)][bgcolor=rgb(0,0,0)]data/damagevaluegoeshere[/bgcolor][/color][/size][size=small],Count:[/size][size=small][color=rgb(255,255,255)][bgcolor=rgb(0,0,0)]ammountofitemsgoeshere[/bgcolor][/color][/size][size=small]}}[/size]
[b]NOTE: THE ITEM COUNT MUST BE AT LEAST ONE, OR THE SUMMONED ITEM WILL BE A 'GHOST ENTITY'![/b]

The highlighted parts are the ones you will change to your liking.

[hr][/hr]That's all for now! Leave a diamond/like if you thought it was useful! =)

Does anybody know how you would use the "/testfor" command to find a specific Item Entity on the ground, such as a Slimeball? I can't find the proper DataTags anywhere, please help!

Make a dummy scoreboard called slime: /scoreboard objectives add slime dummy
Have this command in a command block: /scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] slime 1 {Item:{id:minecraft:slime_ball}}
Take an output from this: /testfor @e[type=Item,score_slime_min=1]
Hope this helped :D

The only thing i could think of is a command block minecart that runs under the area, and then activator rails turn on for a tick, setting off the cart (summon item command in minecart). i tried this once, but i wasn't successful .-.

Good luck, and when the minigame is done, link me to it! I'm interested =3
