Talk:Argument types

In regards to 'title is janky', I copied the format from this page: Bedrock Edition entity components documentation. This page was originally created without the "Bedrock Edition" part and then updated to add it, so I presumed that this was the accepted format.

As for 'also this page could probably be expanded with further info on how to use arguments', I simply moved the contents from Commands and the content was generated by another user. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Onplanetnowhere (talk • contribs) at 8:51, 28 June 2019 (UTC).

If the title remains at its current title then gramatically it should be "List of Java Edition argument types", but this level of conciseness isn't really necessary. Something like "Argument types" would do fine for this page currently. – Nixinova 👁 Image

No matter where you move this, I just hope the final location of these arguments will be finalized so that I can update the command graphs to refer to the right location. liach (talk) 07:28, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Moved to argument types. – Nixinova 👁 Image

brigadier:float need to be removed by migration within the flattening in the further future version as will be likely to be acknowledged for migration of Minecraft (per Flattening in 1.13). Preceding comment signature made by an anonymous user: 184.22.108.137 06:59, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

There ist no difference, because the description ist exactly the same. Either should be removed. Or am I missing something? By the way, why is the namespace given here? --84.61.254.247 05:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes, they are the same but are used for different purposes by brigadier. The namespace is to match brigadier. We can't remove one of them here without mojang removing one from their code, because as said, this is documenting brigadier arguments. (I can verify that both argument types do indeed exist). - Happy to help, ask me about the game code or datapacks. [[User:Lolad1089|Lolad1089]] (talk) 05:58, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, that is understandable. --84.61.254.247 06:30, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

To my understanding, the syntax of item_id{foo:bar,...} was removed with the introduction of the item stack component system. The syntax with the {} was repurposed as a shorthand for the minecraft:custom_data component, but was removed entirely in a later snapshot.
So this section needs updating, right? Helmo2019 (talk) 08:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

This page's name should probably be "Argument type" in singular, like Chat type, Dimension type, World type and other pages that share a similar name. Patcho (talk) 22:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Item predicate is not an argument type. BDJP ^(t|c) 00:15, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
