Solved How to set blocks from position 1 to position 2?

[pepper82]

I want to set all blocks within two locations to a specific block but only using Skript (no addons). Is it possible? If so, what is the correct syntax?

This is probably the easiest way to do it. This is a function utilizing MC's built-in fill command

function fill(l1: location, l2: location, b: itemtype, t: text):
    if {_t} = "destroy", "hollow", "keep", "outline" or "replace":
        set {_type} to {_t}
    else:
        set {_type} to "replace"
    set {_x1} to rounded x coord of {_l1}
    set {_y1} to rounded y coord of {_l1}
    set {_z1} to rounded z coord of {_l1}
    set {_x2} to rounded x coord of {_l2}
    set {_y2} to rounded y coord of {_l2}
    set {_z2} to rounded z coord of {_l2}

    execute console command "/fill %{_x1}% %{_y1}% %{_z1}% %{_x2}% %{_y2}% %{_z2}% %minecraft name of {_b}% %{_type}%"

# used like:
# these are obviously just examples
command /test:
    trigger:
        fill({loc1}, {loc2}, water, "replace")
        fill({loc1}, {loc2}, stone, "hollow")

Thanks, looks nice, didn't know minecraft itself can do this. Will test it out.

I didn't know either until like a month or 2 ago, but apparently, this command has been in the game for years. Along with some other weird ones.

It actually works @ShaneBee . Only downside of this is that every server admin receives a message like "[Server: 180 blocks set ... ]". Or is there a way to disable these messages?

Another problem is that you can not enter a world name, so it only works on the main world.

I'm guessing your admins are OPd? de-op them! No one on your server should be OP'd, just give them the correct permissions they need.
If they are not OPd then I'm not sure why they are receiving console messages. They shouldn't!

Yes, that part sucks. I'm not entirely sure why MC did it that way.

This is the only way I know how to do it via Skript, especially with no addons.
