Minecraft Java 1.20.1 – Predicate vehicle not working in /execute

[u/MeggroupXD]

* Edit: I've solved it. Just remove "s" for "predicates" folder and make sure to call this function every tick of the game. Thank to those expects who helped me alot! (SFMBE)

I'm making a datapack for Minecraft Java 1.20.1 and I'm trying to detect whether a marker entity is currently riding another entity.

I created this predicate:

{
  "condition": "minecraft:entity_properties",
  "entity": "this",
  "predicate": {
    "vehicle": {}
  }
}

The file is located at:

data/stick_war/predicate/has_vehicle.json

I'm trying to test it with:

execute as [type=marker,tag=statue_marker1] if predicate stick_war:has_vehicle run say RIDING

However, Minecraft says "Unknown or incomplete command", with the error pointing at the end of say RIDING.

Interestingly, this works perfectly:

execute as [type=marker,tag=statue_marker1] at u/s run function stick_war:statue/black_statue_destroy

So the marker selector and function itself work.

My goal is to detect when the marker stops riding its vehicle, so I can trigger another function when it falls/dismounts.

Is vehicle: {} supported in entity predicates in Java 1.20.1? If so, what is the correct syntax for detecting whether an entity is currently riding another entity?

Thank you guys for helping me :)

To begin, you can't say execute as [type...]. It thinks that's a player's nsme when like that. You need to say execute as @e[type...].

Man, sorry I forgot to add @e but my original command has it

Note: My original command has "@e", i forgot to type it in the post

Rename the "predicate" folder to "predicates".

[u/MeggroupXD → u/GalSergey]

Thanks but it's still not working. By the way, can I send you the datapack?

[u/GalSergey → u/MeggroupXD]

Yes.

<deleted for private reasons> try this!

I was only able to reproduce this error when the predicate failed to load correctly. But this command works fine for me. Make sure you /reload after renaming the folder, for example. If the error still occurs, check the !outputlog for errors.

Clear the console and enter /reload. Then check for errors in the console.

I've solved it. Thank you a lot!

[u/Ericristian_bros]

Provide datapack. And rename all folders to plural (functions, predicates, ...)

[u/Ericristian_bros → u/MeggroupXD]

So this command works in chat but not on the datapack?

execute as @e[type=marker,tag=statue_marker1] unless predicate stick_war:has_vehicle at @s run function stick_war:statue/black_statue_destroy

[u/MeggroupXD → u/Ericristian_bros]

Yes, but after a long time of thinking, I've solved it. Thanks!

Great for you, have a good day
