So first off, my goal is to have [Server] say something whenever a person joins my server. I was going to do this using the .mcfunction command, where you type /function .... in game, and it saves as a .mcfunction in your data folder.

Is there a way I can do this? Will it stay active 24/7 so that whenever a player joins it will automatically say something and i wont have to manually input a command.

  • note that i'm trying to do this with the fairly new functions added in 1.12 (i'm playing on 1.15 atm), not with command blocks in-game – Jonathan Jan 13 '20 at 19:13
  • The fundamentals there still apply. Yeah, the execute command needs to be updated to the new syntax, but it's pretty much the same now as it was for that question (looks like 1.8 maybe?), just in a function file instead of command blocks. – MBraedley Jan 13 '20 at 19:33
  • Please only ask one question per… well, question. I edited out the second one. If you ask it in a new question, please provide a lot more detail about what you mean. Also, I recommend reading the wiki page about functions, it's not at all the case that you create those from within the game. – Fabian Röling Jan 14 '20 at 8:18
  • There is no advancement trigger for joining a world, so the answer over there is actually the best one. The top answer was apparently from before 1.9, I updated it it to 1.13+ now. It works exactly the same in functions, you just need a ticking function, see here for more information on that: gaming.stackexchange.com/q/342343/171580 – Fabian Röling Jan 14 '20 at 8:27
  • if i'm doing this with a function, do i need to do anything special to identify the command as "active repeating command" or "chain command block" or can i just copy all the commands from the link above thanks – Jonathan Jan 14 '20 at 16:45
