Commands/execute

is a versatile command that modifies variables or procedures in the execution of another command.

Java Edition
$$, there are twelve instructions (or sub-commands) for the  command. Multiple sub-commands are connected after /execute. Subcommands are divided into 4 categories: modify subcommands, condition subcommands, store subcommands, and  subcommand.
 * Modify subcommands modify command variables and change the situation the command is executed, and execute subcommands following it with specific executor(s), execution position(s), execution dimension(s), and execution rotation(s).
 * Condition subcommands are used to test whether certain conditions are true and output results or limit conditions of execution.
 * Store subcommands can store the return values of the command in a scoreboard or the data of an entity, block entity or storage, and can also change the maximum or current value of a boss bar.
 * subcommand is used for carrying out another command.

A number of sub-commands needed can be chained together. Subcommands other than the  subcommand can be arranged arbitrarily or used multiple times. But the  subcommand can only be used once and must at the end of the subcommands chain. A  subcommand or a condition subcommand finalizes the command, otherwise the command does nothing. The game processes these subcommands in order from front to end, for example, the following commands are different:
 * All entities move one block forward:
 * All entities move to one block in front of the executor:

The game processes other subcommands before processing  and store subcommands, so the   and store subcommands cannot affect other subcommands. The  commands and store subcommands cannot affect each other as well. In some cases, the command terminates halfway and does nothing.

After the command is executed (if it does not terminate halfway), it returns a  and a   value (see  for details). These two values ​​come from the last subcommand (may be a condition subcommand or  subcommand). Note that the return value of the command must be an integer, if not, it is rounded down. The  value is usually 0 or 1. When the command fails, both return values ​​are 0. When the last subcommand (may be a condition subcommand or  subcommand) is executed multiple times, only values of the last execution can be returned. The two values can be stored by store subcommands.

command also has a success count (whether or not terminates halfway). This is usually  or , but if the command split up (as perhaps with "/execute as @a -> execute") then success can be a number higher than. When executing it with the command block, the success count is returned to the command block, which can be checked by the conditional command block for success or be read with a redstone comparator.

There are twelve instructions (or sub-commands) for the  command, and each has its own special syntax, so describing syntax takes a large branching tree.

Store subcommands
Store the   and a   value of a command somewhere.

It first records the location to store in, and then stores in the location after all the commands are executed.

Note that the return values of commands must be an integer. If a decimal, it is rounded down.

Syntax

 * Saves the return value in block entity at the given position. Store as a byte, short, int, long, float, or double. If the return value is a decimal, it is rounded first and then multiplied by.


 * Saves the return value in either the current value or the maximum value of the given bossbar.


 * Use the data tag  from one targeted entity to save the return value. Store as a byte, short, int, long, float, or double. If the return value is a decimal, it is rounded first and then multiplied by.
 * Like the "" command, "/execute store " cannot modify player NBT.


 * Use the scoreboard under and to save the return value.


 * Uses the within storage to store the return value in. Store as a byte, short, int, long, float, or double. If the return value is a decimal, it is rounded first and then multiplied by.
 * If the storage does not yet exist, it gets created.

Arguments

 * Specifies the coordinates of a block entity to store.

 * Target storage container, as a namespaced ID.

Result

 * Error if the argument is not specified correctly.
 * In  and   mode, does not store anything when the path does not exist.

subcommand
Specifies the command to be executed, the variables of which may be modified by the subcommands used.

Arguments

 * Can be any command


 * Technical: Resets the command node to the root of the command dispatcher
 * Information on modelling commands as chat text:
 * The command dispatcher is what starts when the player begins a message with a forward-slash.
 * A command node is the specific word/entry the cursor is editing, either a command or an argument.
 * The root node comes before the first word in the current command.

Result
Execute this command. Fails if  is failure.

Arguments

 * Specifies the target to be the command's executor. Must be a player name or target selector. If more than one entity is selected, the command is run once as each of them.


 * Specifies the position from which to run the command. Coordinates specified with tilde and caret notation are relative to the target, not to the position of the command's execution.

Result
Fails if arguments are not specified correctly, if  fails to resolve to one or more valid entities (named players must be online), if the checked block is not of the correct block id, data or state, or if the specified command fails.

On success, executes the specified command as if executed by the specified target(s), done with operator-level permission at the specified coordinate.
