Generates a random integer, or controls random sequences in the world.

random (value|roll) <range>

Outputs a random integer.

Range is given by two integers separated by two periods where the first given number must always be smaller than the second given number.

random (value|roll) <range> <sequence>

Samples a random integer from the specified random sequence. If the sequence does not exist, it is created with the random sequence settings of the world.

random reset *

Removes all the random sequences in the world. A random sequence is created with the settings of the world when called by a loot table.

random reset * <seed> [<includeWorldSeed>] [<includeSequenceId>]

Removes all the random sequences in the world, and sets the random sequence settings of the world. The setting of the world is 0, true, true, if having not executed /random reset * ... command in the world.

random reset <sequence>

Removes and re-creates a random sequence with the settings of the world. If the sequence does not exist, it is just created.

random reset <sequence> [<seed>] [<includeWorldSeed>] [<includeSequenceId>]

Removes and re-creates a random sequence with the specified settings instead of the settings of the world. If the sequence does not exist, it is just created.

value|roll

Whether or not to notify other players of the results when extracting random numbers.

If it is value, the result is displayed in chat only to the player executing the command. If roll, the result is broadcasted to all players.

<range>: int_range

Specifies the range to pick the random number from. The size of the range (calculated by max - min + 1) should be between 2 and 2147483646.

Must be a range acceptable for 32-bit integer values. (e.g. 0 - exact match of 0. ..0 - less than or equal to 0. 0.. - more than or equal to 0. 0..1 - from 0 to 1, both inclusive.)

<sequence>: resource_location

Specifies the resource location of a random sequence to sample or reset.

If there's no sequence with the specified resource location, it is created.

Must be a resource location for an unregistered content.

<seed>: int

The salt value.

Must be a [Int]32-bit integer number (from -2147483648 (-2³¹) to 2147483647 (2³¹-1) ).

<includeWorldSeed>: bool

Whether to incorporate the world seed value with the specified <seed> when seeding a random sequence. If not specified, defaults to true.

Must be a [Boolean]Boolean (either true or false).

<includeSequenceId>: bool

Whether to incorporate the hash of the ID with the specified <seed> when seeding a random sequence. If not specified, defaults to true.

Must be a [Boolean]Boolean (either true or false).

/random roll 1..5

Rolls a random number between 1 and 5 and writes it in chat

execute store result score @p random_number run random value 1..10

Generates a random number between 1 and 10 and stores it in a scoreboard called random_number for the nearest player

/execute store result score player random_number run random value 1..3

/tellraw @a [{text:"Rolled number "},{"score": {"name": "player", "objective": "random_number"} }]

Generates a number between 1 and 3 and displays it with message "Rolled number <rolled number>"
