Iron Door - Bench Press

[Fire]

In these puzzles, you normally have to clear all of the iron blocks from one side, to "make an iron door" on the crafting bench and to create an exit. In 1.14, however, you only need 2 adjacent blocks cleared from one side, and you can then crouch into the 1.5-block-tall gap.

I'm unsure of how to patch this easily.

Raise the height of the bottom slab by a pixel or so.

And the top?

Could probably use /testforblock with a duplicate door and variables to solve this.

/testforblock was removed. I feel like it would be more natural to not have any "magic", though worst-case scenario I guess we can use /execute. Are there any blocks that aren't full height with a gap on the bottom?

 

[Hex]

snow layers, but I don't think there are any for the top.

 

[Fire]

NoAI, silent, invincible shulkers summoned at very specific heights might do the trick.

Scripts can detect if a block is in a location.

There could be a walk script on the bedrock that checks if the exit is properly open. If so it removes the barrier.

I think using a translucent block (stained glass?) would be better. Without the visual cue, the player would naturally expect that they would be able to fit through that gap and there would be no indication (I advise against a chat message) of when the passage was opened. (Also remove the glass before they walk there)

The shulker idea is cool, but may be a bit too gimmicky/not obvious to the player when they're able to fit and hard to maintain (shulkers can only be in integer positions unless mounted on another entity iirc).

 

[picklesthecheeta]

some complex script using isCrouching() ?

 

[Chillers]

The only downside to this is that all 3 blocks need to be defined so for each of the doors the script creation could be time consuming.

I think all you'd need is a walk script like this:

@bypass /execute if blocks -4497 83 -4650 -4497 85 -4650 -4497 83 -4649 all run setblock -4497 84 -4651 air

^ This would be on the block at -4497 82 -4650.

All this does is run a vanilla command that tests to see if one area is exactly the same as another area, and if it is, runs a command. In this case, I've highlighted the tested area to be from -4497 83 -4650 to -4497 85 -4650, and the template 1x3x1 area is hinged on -4497 83 -4649. The template area is all air, so if the entirety of the tested area is air as well, it will clear out the glass using "setblock -4497 84 -4651 air", then and only then.

I tested one side out with this, thanks to rman. Here is a demonstration:

As you can see, only when all 3 blocks in front the glass are air does it clear away. The resets to these puzzles still work just fine, so a simple /setblock script after the door is all each side needs in addition.

Edit: I went ahead and made scripts for each side of every puzzle:

A lot of scripts, but shouldn't take long to paste in, and much easier than using variables or defining the blocks.

 

[Alphaesia]

Just for the record, we shouldn't script the blocks right next to the door. This is because won't jump to the door if they see it is blocked, even if they have solved the puzzle. If you guys really want to scripts, add them to the buttons however this will break if there is lag.

Also don't put a setblock just behind the door, add it to the reset wherever it is (probably at the puzzle join sign).

Why not use barriers instead of glass

I've added two interact scripts to each of the puzzle entrance signs that will also replace the glass.

As for the players not knowing to go towards the door after they've solved it, I can think of three solutions:
1: Have the execute scripts on every single one of the buttons, but activated after a 1.5-second delay so the piston heads are given time to clear away
2: Have a "Submit" button in each of the puzzles that runs the two execute scripts.
3: Place down a sign in each of the 6 Bench Press explanation rooms that tells the player to approach the exit once they've solved it (this one is probably the easiest)

It looks like this is somewhat solved, what still has to be done?

I’ve made a list of all of the scripts that need to be made and where; they just need to be put in.

 

[swimmy1212]

Fixed, thanks for that list of scripts fire
