Writing your own plugin

A plugin is a datapack responsible for performing an edit operation in the selected region. To write a plugin, you must include the following:

• Every tick, check if any players have their disp_plugins score set to 1. If they do, send them a light_purple tellraw message with a clickable element that will run a function that implements the plugin’s operation. I suggest calling the function run.

  • For example:

    execute as @e[type=minecraft:player] run execute if score @s disp_plugins matches 1.. run tellraw @s ["",{"text":"[Vegetate]","clickEvent":{"action":"run_command","value":"/function blingedit_vegetate:run"},"color":"light_purple"}]
    

• At the beginning of your plugin’s run function, use:

  function blingedit:plugin_can_run
  

  Then check if player Global has a plugin_can_run score of 1. If it does, you’re free to perform the operation. If not, it could mean the player hasn’t selected a region, or that they aren’t in the right state to run a plugin.

• plugin_can_run also sets several scores for player Global. The objectives box_xmin, box_ymin, box_zmin, box_xmax, box_ymax and box_zmax define the minimum and maximum bounds of the region’s bounding box. Use those coordinates however you like.

• At the end of your run function, use

  gamerule sendCommandFeedback false
  

• to disable the text would be displayed by clicking the tellraw link. BlingEdit will automatically re-enable the gamerule if it was previously enabled.
