Count block type in an area

[DarkestVoids]

Hi so I'm trying to count a certain block type within a specified area then set a variable to the amount of blocks for later use.

I've tried to find a method to do this myself but after an hour or so of trying with... lots of errors, I've been unable.

command /cheststuff:
   trigger:
      loop all blocks in radius 5 of player:
         set {_chestcount} to amount of minecraft:trapped_chest in loop blocks

I literally just need to get the number of trapped chests within the area and save it to the variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

command /cheststuff:
   trigger:
      clear {count}
      loop all blocks in radius 5 of player:
         if event-block is trapped chest:
            add 1 to {count}

command checkcoint:
   trigger:
      send "&6Chest Count: &c%{count}%" to player

This should probablyyyy work (By the way this wasn't tested so it may not work).

Ty for the reply and help,

I've tried it but I get an error for "if event-block is trapped chest:", Says "There's no block in a command event"

No problem and whoops. Just realized 'event-block' needs to be 'loop-block'. Sorry, haha. Hopefully that'll fix the issue!
