Target Selectors

Minecraft target selectors can be created and used using the minecraft:target type. minecraft:target is stored internally as strings and can be used in macro scenerios. Currently target selectors are WIP and are missing key features. More uses for them will be added over time.

Target selectors can be implicitly created using the same syntax as they do in commands:

var target = @e[x=8,dx=9,name="Steve"];

But they can also have dynamic values like so:

int my_number = 7;
var target = @e[x=my_number];
warning

String arguments like name and type must be quoted strings or else Amethyst will look for a variable with that name. This may change in the future.

note

Many of the arguments have not been implemented.

Existence Checks

Target selectors can be put in if Execute Statement clauses which effectively use execute if entity to determine if the entity exists:

if (@s[type="minecraft:player"]) {
    @/say I am a player!
}
tip

Target selectors can also be converted to boolean values. The result is true if execute if entity is successful.
