I'm making a Minecraft map and I don't want the player to be able loose his bow. So I wrote this command into a repeating command block:

/replaceitem entity @p hotbar.0 bow{display:{Name:"{"text":"Bow of Shadows","color":"green","italic":"false","bold":"false"}"},"Enchantments":[{id:"minecraft:infinity",lvl:1}]} 1.

But if I try to shoot an arrow the bow reloads instantly because the command block gives me a new bow and I can't shoot. I have same problem with a shield.

I'm playing Vanilla 1.13.2

  • Why are you playing 1.13.2? That version has a lot of game-breaking and world-corrupting bugs and lag issues that were fixed in later versions.

The problem is that the bow is being replaced every tick.

Instead of constantly replacing their first hotbar slot, simply give them a bow if they are missing one.

Instead of the nearest player, we're going to run this as all players for multiplayer support.

/execute as @a...

First, we need to check if the player has the bow in their inventory:

...unless entity @p[nbt={Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:bow", tag:{INSERT NBT}}]}]...

Then give them the bow.

...run give @p minecraft:bow{INSERT NBT} 1

Combine the three lines like this:

/execute as @a unless entity @s[nbt={Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:bow", tag:{INSERT NBT}}]}] run give @s minecraft:bow{INSERT NBT}]} 1

This will give every player a Bow of Shadows, if they do not already have a matching bow in their inventory. (replace "INSERT NBT" with the bow's display and enchantment data.)

Hope it helps!

    You can use /execute as @a[nbt=!{...}] to simplify the command a bit.

  • Thank you but it doesnt work. The command works but the bow get replaced also now. Did I something wrong? command is: /execute as @p[nbt=!{display:{Name:"{\"text\":\"Bow of Shadows\",\"color\":\"green\",\"italic\":\"false\",\"bold\":\"false\"}"},"Enchantments":[{id:"minecraft:infinity",lvl:1}]}] run replaceitem entity @p hotbar.0 bow{display:{Name:"{\"text\":\"Bow of Shadows\",\"color\":\"green\",\"italic\":\"false\",\"bold\":\"false\"}"},"Enchantments":[{id:"minecraft:infinity",lvl:1}]} 1 (Its a singelplayer map and there are four kits so it doesnt work in multiplayer because everyone would g

  • With that command, you're executing it as the nearest player who isn't a Bow of Shadows, so, everyone. Either use the command in the original answer, or replace the @p[nbt=!{...}]. Instead of having the bow's NBT data replacing the ..., use the players NBT data, which can be found in the second code snippet within my original answer. Replace @p[nbt=!{...}] with @p[nbt=!{Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:bow", tag:{INSERT NBT}}]}], and replace INSERT NBT with the NBT of the bow.
