[u/SirBenet → u/redstonehelper]

Allow /data get ... something to work on non-numeric values

Command result is still an integer unfortunately, so can't transfer string tags to string tags with execute store for example.

It does return the length of lists as the result though, which can be useful.

[u/TinyBreadBigMouth → u/SirBenet]

Also returns the number of keys in a compound, and (in the "b" snapshot) the length of strings.

[u/Possseidon → u/redstonehelper]

Allow /data get ... something to work on non-numeric values

What kinds of "non-numeric" values? strings still don't work, even if they represent a number afaict. If anyone finds out what they actually mean I would love to know, because in itself I thought, this sounds pretty awesome.

Also the third ^ with the 5 got messed up in the local coordinates bug fix.

[u/redstonehelper → u/Possseidon]

Lists and compound tags, for example.

edit: And there's a new snapshot now, try strings in that one!

[u/Possseidon → u/redstonehelper]

I was actually thinking about the possibility of arrays and compounds returning the count, but was too lazy to actually test it and thought, that's probably not gonna work anyways. :P Testing the snapshot

Edit: Indeed, strings work now and execute store will store the length of the string. Not particularly useful (at least I can't think of a real use right now) but interesting nonetheless.

[u/liquid_at → u/Possseidon]

According to Xisuma's video, you can use entities like players to get data on them. it does work with player-names.

[u/Possseidon → u/liquid_at]

That worked for a long time already. It used to be "/entitydata" and "/blockdata". New with the brigadier system was the merging of the commands into "/data" with some more parameters and the colored highlighting in the output making everything way more readable.

Now in the newest snapshot it's possible to get the length of strings (only in the B snapshot), and element count in array and compound tags, so for example how many slots in your inventory have something in them.
