Introduction Welcome to this tutorial on how to make a random number generator using commands and armor stands in Minecraft Java Edition. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up the armor stands, tagging them, creating the random number generator command, setting up the command blocks, and executing the command blocks. We will also cover how to configure the coordinates and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. So let's get started!

Setting up the armor stands To begin, place four armor stands in a row. These will serve as the base for our random number generator. Make sure they are placed in the desired location.

Tagging the armor stands Next, we need to tag each armor stand with a unique tag. Select the first armor stand and use the command "/tag @e[type=armor_stand, distance=..10] add rand". Repeat this step for the remaining armor stands, incrementing the tag number each time (e.g., rand2, rand3, rand4).

Creating the random number generator command Now, it's time to create the random number generator command. Stand near the armor stand you want to tag and execute the command "/tag @e[distance=..6, tag=rand1] add 1". Repeat this step for the remaining armor stands, adjusting the tag number and command value accordingly.

Setting up the command blocks Place four command blocks in a row, ensuring that the arrows on the blocks face away from each other. Set each command block to "repeating", "unconditional", and "always active".

Executing the command blocks In the first command block, enter the command "/execute as @e[tag=1, distance=..6] run say 1". Adjust the tag number and command value for the next three command blocks accordingly.

Configuring the coordinates To determine the coordinates used for teleportation, stand near the location you want the armor stands to return to. Press F3 and note down the coordinates displayed. Enter these coordinates in the corresponding command blocks.

Testing the random number generator With all the setup complete, test the random number generator by activating the command blocks with a lever. You should see a stream of random numbers generated based on the armor stand tags and distances.

Troubleshooting If you encounter any issues or the random number generator is not working as expected, refer to the troubleshooting section provided in this tutorial. We will outline common problems and their solutions to help you resolve any issues.

Conclusion Congratulations! You have successfully created a random number generator using commands and armor stands in Minecraft Java Edition. Remember, you can expand upon this concept to create more complex generators or adapt it to your specific needs. The possibilities are endless, so have fun experimenting with different variations.
