    type: "skeleton",
    };

    for (let entity of overworld.getEntities(eqo)) {
    entity.applyKnockback(0, 0, 0, 1);

    maxDistance: 20,
    });

    for (const item of items) {
    const itemComp = item.getComponent("item") as mc.EntityItemComponent;

    if (itemComp) {
    if (itemComp.itemStack.typeId.endsWith("feather")) {
    log("Success! Found a feather", 1);
    }
    }
    }
  • Parameters

    • location: Vector3

      The location at which to return entities.

    Returns Entity[]

    Zero or more entities at the specified location.

    Remarks

    Returns a set of entities at a particular location.

  • Parameters

    • Optional options: EntityQueryOptions

      Additional options that can be used to filter the set of players returned.

    Returns Player[]

    A player array.

    Remarks

    Returns a set of players based on a set of conditions defined via the EntityQueryOptions set of filter criteria.

    Throws

    This function can throw errors.

  • Parameters

    • commandString: string

      Command to run. Note that command strings should not start with slash.

    Returns CommandResult

    Returns a command result with a count of successful values from the command.

    Remarks

    Runs a command synchronously using the context of the broader dimenion.

    This function can't be called in read-only mode.

    Throws

    Throws an exception if the command fails due to incorrect parameters or command syntax, or in erroneous cases for the command. Note that in many cases, if the command does not operate (e.g., a target selector found no matches), this method will not throw an exception.

  • Parameters

    • commandString: string

      Command to run. Note that command strings should not start with slash.

    Returns Promise<CommandResult>

    For commands that return data, returns a CommandResult with an indicator of command results.

    Remarks

    Runs a particular command asynchronously from the context of the broader dimension. Note that there is a maximum queue of 128 asynchronous commands that can be run in a given tick.

    Throws

    Throws an exception if the command fails due to incorrect parameters or command syntax, or in erroneous cases for the command. Note that in many cases, if the command does not operate (e.g., a target selector found no matches), this method will not throw an exception.

  • Parameters

    • identifier: string

      Identifier of the type of entity to spawn. If no namespace is specified, 'minecraft:' is assumed.

    • location: Vector3
