Command for spawning a certain item in a chest?
I'm trying to make a quest, and I need to have a particular item show up in a chest that players will be required to grab. What is the command for this, if any exist? Thanks!

so hear me out,
Use this plugin and have it check for the chest, then use deluxe menus to have a menu that looks like a chest, but has the item in it. You can have it play the sound of a chest open/close on open/close of the menu to make it feel more realistic. You will have to use a command to give the player the item and MAKE SURE IT HAS A COOLDOWN because i dont think that DM has a feature to let players take the item, but i might be wrong, (read here yourself if you want)[https://wiki.helpch.at/clips-plugins/deluxemenus]

Can you be more specific what you’re looking for?
Are you trying to add an item to the loottables in chests in a regular vanilla world?
Are you trying to make a custom inventory (like a chest) that has a custom item?
Are you looking for a bukkit plugin, fabric or forge mod? Or is there an existing vanilla command you’re looking for? (I doubt with the little info u gave u vanilla can do this)
Please be more specific!
I just want to run command that places an item in a specific chest that I know the coordinates of. I want a potion to appear in the chest, with a display name of "rum"
the chest is normally empty, so I just need to run the command when a player does the quest. Running a command on demand is the easy part, I just need to know how to make such a command, if it exists.
If you got an admin only section, you can just clone it.
/clone x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x y z replace
Then run that whenever you want or on a scheduler.. Even hook it into a normal command alias to make it easier.
With it being on replace, it won't stack and chest will generate if something should happen to it. (could even make it disappear and then reappear).you could use a custom lootable and /setblock
look at my suggestion
That sounds like a good solution. I'll try that. I can hide a protected chest somewhere to clone from
I have no idea how to do custom loottables, but I'll look into it if the cloning doesn't work
I've read through it. It sounds complicated, but I'll look into it more if cloning doesn't work. If I can avoid adding more plugins, that'd be preferred
you would only be adding dm and condetioinal events, which are really small plugins
but my way is the only surefire way that this will work, because, you will still need to find a way to detect when the player opens the chest, so making it work through code will be way beter
I think you can probably do this with
fill and then manually specify the chest's NBT which says what items are in it but it sounds fucking awful to write out that way
so I think a vanilla command block is all you "need"
but probably not a fun methodMany ways of doing this:
- Datapack loot tables so you can use /loot to refill/set chest
- clone chest
- use a plugin that does this
I don't need to detect when the player opens the chest. The quests plugin can handle running any command, at any given point within the questline
then do that
