1 year ago @D2Undead Hello, I have also worked through this tutorial in the last few days. I have got it working. Firstly, main.ts is written in TypeScript, which is an extension of JavaScript. TypeScript must first be compiled to JavaScript to be run in Minecraft. This is what gulp is doing; it compiles main.ts to main.js (also Utilties.ts to Utilities.js) and copies the required files to the behaviour packs in the com.mojang folder. This is where Minecraft picks them up from, so it is right for the manifest.json to be the way it is. Are there any errors when you run gulp?
If not, then I suggest you follow these steps again, exactly:
- Launch Minecraft and create a new world:
- Call it Cotta Test.
- Select a Creative game mode.
- Select a Flat world option, under the Advanced section of the Create New World screen.
- Under Behaviour Packs, under Available, you should see your Cotta Behaviour Pack. Select it and Activate it.
- Enable the Beta APIs experiment toggle, under the Experiments section of the Create New World screen.
- Create the world and go into it.
Once in the world any errors will display and can be retrieved from settings - creator - content log. Enable the content log if you haven't already then exit and reload to begin the log. For example, in the latest update, it told me the @minecraft/server version was incorrect and gave some options, I changed the version in manifest.json to 1.4.0-beta and all was fine.
I also had the issue with Utilities.ts and solved it like this overworld?.getBlock({ x: i, y: j, z: k })?.setPermutation(perm);
Interestingly, the code in the ts-starter-complete-cotta/scripts/main.ts is completely different to the code snippets given in this tutorial. In chapter 4, I had to replace:
overworld?.getBlock({ x: cottaX + ARENA_X_OFFSET, y: 1 + ARENA_Y_OFFSET, z: cottaZ + ARENA_Z_OFFSET}); overworld?.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve("yellow_glazed_terracotta"));
with
let block = overworld .getBlock({ x: cottaX + ARENA_X_OFFSET, y: 1 + ARENA_Y_OFFSET, z: cottaZ + ARENA_Z_OFFSET });
if (block) { block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve("minecraft:yellow_glazed_terracotta"));
from the ts-complete-cotta/scripts/main.ts but otherwise the code snippets worked. I wonder if the tutorial just hasn't been updated yet.

I was trying to follow the tutorial exactly (the second time) and I got up to near the end of Chapter 2, and everything was fine, but the script didn't output anything in Minecraft. The world was a regular world. I waited a whole minute, but nothing happened. The only possible difference was that I had turned on all the experimental toggles, rather than only the Beta APIs toggle. I added a test console log into the very start of
main.ts(after the import) and I never got the log message. I also tried to connect Minecraft's debugger (/script debugger connect localhost[port number]) using the port Visual Studio Code said it was listening on, but it failed.I also noticed that the behavior pack's
manifest.jsoncontainedmain.jsrather thanmain.ts, and the language was set tojavascript.Another note: The website tutorial's code for
Utilities.tscontains a TypeScript error that thegetBlock()functions may return undefined, so thesetPermutation()functions would cause an error. In my first attempt to roughly follow the tutorial, I fixed this by only runningsetPermutation()if the return value ofgetBlock()wasn'tundefined.Document Details
