Get a player's position by name?
Fri, 06/18/2021 - 14:35 (edited)

Hi, I'm making a QuickCommands mod and I need to get a player's coordinates by name and I can't use the execute command. I'm using Minecraft version 1.16.5 and Mccreator version 2021.1.

Why can't you use the execute command? That's probably the easiest solution. If you really want to do it without the execute command, there's probably some custom code you could use, but I don't know what that would be. I'll try to figure it out and report back here.

Actually, you could loop through all the players and select the one with the name you're looking for like this:

This works better than using the execute command since you actually get the player in a MCreator block, which would allow you to do more things.

@willk55 Woah thanks for that, I think they should add the "name to player" feature but thats a nice fix!

While i can search for the player with exact  name to use it in procedure, does this also work for dead players?
