SethBling – Splash-Potion Arrows in Minecraft

Welcome back settling here and today’s command ball contraption adds a new game roll which basically allows you to create arrows with a splash effects so if I type game rule splash arrows true like this it’ll turn on the game roll and now when I shoot an arrow well of

Course this is just a normal arrow so it does the normal thing but if I take this splash potion of weakness drop it on the ground and then drop an arrow on the ground it’ll creates an arrow of weakness so we can see arrow of weakness and now if I

Shoot an arrow well okay I shot a normal arrow you can see the the arrow count goes from 63 to 62 but that’s my normal arrow so in order to shoot my special arrow of weakness here let’s just swap the stacks because the game looks for

The first stack of arrows that can find going from left to right on your hotbar so if I shoot this one there we go we get a splash potion effect so I’ve got these other splash potions ready to go note that this only works on like level 1 normal duration splash potions

So anyway drop these all in the grounds 1 2 3 4 I think there were 5 6 yeah there were 6 splash potions there’s 6 arrows so now what is this splash arrow of harming so if I shoot this next to myself you can see the splash potion effect does

Actually hit me what is where we have slowness so if I shoot well okay like I said it’s it’s gonna pick the first stack available see if you want to set your preference you have to make sure you get the arrows on your hop are on

The right place but then I’ll shoot this I got this slowness effect now it’s pretty short because I hit it far away if I do it right here it’s closer it’s a longer slowness effect where we got poison it’s gonna be obnoxious and weakness let’s shoot this just get all

The effects out of the way so we’ve got all the effects I’m gonna clear them because they’re annoying so that’s that’s what happens if you shoot the arrows at the grounds grab some more arrows here I’m actually gonna go grab some more potions so let’s get some poison let’s get some poison potions

Just get a bunch of these actually I’ll just drop them on the grounds and then drop the arrow now this only works if here in survival mode because I’m creative mode right now you’ll notice it’s not working and that’s because well first hey that’s in the wrong slot but even

Still it’s not gonna work because the whole contraption works by detecting when one stack or another decreases in size if actually do a scoreboard objective set to play sidebar god what’s it called arrow no duh poison air arrow yeah okay you can see whenever I shoot the arrow okay it’s not doing anything

Let’s go to game-mode 0 and shoot the arrow for a brief moments it changes a negative one it might have been hard to see in the video but that for one tick changes to negative one so if there’s a brand new arrow in the world right next

To a player who had you know had a poison arrow and doesn’t anymore or has one less than they had before and it’s it’s it’s it’s gonna mark the arrow as an arrow that should have a poison effect okay so let’s get four poison arrows in fact let me just copy this a

Few times there we go okay and let me get some villagers on my hotbar it works if you shoot them at end of these two alright I’m still in okay like I just said okay there we go so now this guy’s poisons so you can shoot it at like

Blocks and it’ll work and whatever I’ve tested it where it seems to work pretty well yeah so like I said it’s it’s work working based on those scoreboard effects so if I squirted a poison arrow count I think that’ll do it you can see it’s counting the number of poison

Arrows in fact if I let’s see go to game mode one and do this now it’s counting them so it count larger than a stack size if I’m in creative mode that poison arrow count isn’t gonna change but if I go to game of zero the poison arrow

Count does change and that’s how it knows to mark the arrow as poisonous arrow and in fact there’s an armor stand that follows the arrow you’ll notice if I shoot it too far away the particles aren’t visible because particles in Minecraft are only visible if you’re

Within 16 blocks but the reason I need an armor stand to follow that arrow follow the path of the arrow is because when you hit an entity like say a villager the arrow disappears on its own and we don’t really get a chance when it when the arrow hits the ground like

These arrows you can see okay you just walk past me these arrows have them like in ground tag and they’re still around so it’s easy to it’s easy to summon a splash effect but when we hit an entity that arrow disappears and so the armor stand helps us track where the splash

Potions should get spawned and so that’s why we have an armor stand in marker mode so the armor stand won’t really affect anything because it’s a marker and we’re stand and so I can’t really you can’t really interact with it but yeah so like I said a game rule what was

It called splash Heroes true to enable it if you turn it off then even if you shoot one of these special arrows you can see my poison arrow counts the scoreboard thing let’s go do that isn’t isn’t changing but I am using up those poison arrows but it’s not doing a

Special effect because they’ve turned off the game roll otherwise that’s just import this into your world go ahead and push this button to get it all set up and then use that game rule splash arrows true and it should work so there you go it’s about it thanks for watching you
