I'm trying to get a command block to write in the chat, and it is working, but it is displaying it to all players in the server. I only want the chat to appear to the player that steps on the pressure plate. Ive tried everything from @p and @s.
example of text I try is below
/tellraw @p {"text":"Hello World!"}
but that tells it to every player. I've tried
/tellraw @p[distance=3] {"text":"Hello World!"}
but that doesn't work either.
Well, “distance” isn’t a tag, use r instead.
Also, @p would only do one player, so use @a. This would make
/tellraw @a[r=3] {“text”:”Hello World!”}.
distance is the "new" variant of r, which allows for multiple new features. I put "new" in quotation marks, because this was changed almost two years ago. If you haven't played the game for this long, please don't answer without checking what you're saying. And your @p vs. @a advice is exactly the opposite of what the asker wanted.

/tellraw @pdoes not do anything for every player. How did you test this? And in what version are you playing?
