How do I detect a wool block with a color?

Question

I have been having trouble with this command. I am trying to detect wool with a certain color but whenever I try to detect the wool it says

Failed to execute '0 /summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~

I have done a lot of research to fix this and I cant find a way to make it work. This is the command I used.

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=test] ~ ~ ~ detect minecraft:wool 1 0 /summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~

I also used

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=test] ~ ~ ~ detect wool 1 0 /summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~

Answer 1

Based on the minecraft wiki page on commands (describing the execute detect command), the correct syntax for your command:

execute <entity> <x y z> detect <x y z> <block> <data> command...

Since I suspect you mean detect a wool block in the armor stand, the XYZ coordinates for after detect would just be ~ ~ ~

As for the color of the wool, look at the data values page and replace with the data value of the color you want

So your command:

Execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=test] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~ ~ wool <datavalue> /summon ArmorStand

Answer 2

You forgot to tell Minecraft where to test for the wool do you want to test under his feet? Above him? 800 blocks on the Z coords? Try this:

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=test] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool 1 0 /summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~
