I know you're here to get quick help with your command problems or to show off your cool work. Please read these few lines to get to know how to use this subreddit optimally:

Asking for help

1. FAQ? Before you post, please check out the (including answers) that we have in our subreddits wiki. These consist of the most common problems, and maybe your problem is already covered there in detail?

2. Titles: Please put a summary/short version of your problem into the title of your post, don't just put "I need help" or "help me plz". Instead put for example "how do I summon a zombie" or "unable to summon entity error" and then provide more context on the post itself. This subreddit often shows up on google when people search for command related questions and we should really help them find the questions you might already have asked. Also, we likely know that you need help anyways, no need to put it in the title.

3. Flairs: We have a wide array of flairs that you should attach to your post to make sure people know what the purpose of your thread is. It is especially important if you're asking for help, to flair your post with the appropriate minecraft version (for those who don't know: OG Minecraft is Java Version, everything else that has commands (Xbox, PE, PS4, Switch, Win10, etc) is Bedrock).

4. Version: Whether you're helping or asking for help, please pay attention to the stated version/state the version you're in! You can do that through the previously mentioned Flairs, but also in addition can put it into the description of your post.

5. Search/Scroll down: I know that reddit search is not the best one out there, but maybe someone else had a similar problem to yours in recent history. Try going to the new tab and scrolling down a bit or using the reddit search function to see if there might already be an answer to a question you have. We're not going to close your thread for asking the same question someone else asked a year ago, we're not StackOverflow. But please at least take 30 seconds to look for it first.

6. Upvote: If you find an answer to a post helpful, please upvote it. This is less as a "reward" for the answering person but more as a way to automatically move the best answer to the top, for others that might have the same problem. Don't downvote an answer just because their attempts didn't work for you unless it's completely wrong or off topic / doesn't add anything to the conversation.

Discord

We have a big Discord Server for our community with lots of channels, ranging from dedicated help chats over general command related chats to non-command related chats. So if you want to join an active community of command and mapmaking enthusiasts and/or want to get quick help where communication is less slow (Sometimes the devs stop by as well ;)), click on the link and join our community discord:

Make sure you read the #welcome channel for the rule of the discord.

With their introduction in , item components promise to revolutionize how we work with items. However, in this process they'll break almost every existing item related command, loot table, predicate etc. We're expecting a bunch of posts pouring in with confusion about these changes. And because nobody likes to repeat themselves over and over, we set up automod to do the repeating for us, just like we did for the 1.19.50 bedrock execute changes.

Putting

!itemcomponents

somewhere into your comment will summon automod with some helpful info on these changes.

Let us know what you think about this, the comment itself, or if you have any other suggestions for how to improve the subreddit. We're happy to hear it.
