“Placing Blocks with Block States!”

How to Set Up the Command Blocks

Command entered in the Command Block:

Command Block A1

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Always Active
/scoreboard objectives add star dummy

➡️ This allows the game to track the “star” score for each player and use it to apply effects or conditions.

Command Block A2

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @a at @s if entity @e[name="Nether Star",r=2] run scoreboard players set @s star 20
➡️ When a player gets close to a Nether Star, their “star” score is set to 20, starting the Superstar countdown.

Command Block A3

Block Type:Chain / Conditional / Redstone: Always Active
/kill @e[name="Nether Star"]
➡️ This ensures the Nether Star is removed after the star score is set to 20.

Command Block B

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Always Active (Delay in Ticks: 20
/execute as @a[scores={star=1..}] at @s run scoreboard players add @s star -1

➡️ This makes the mooshroom slowly approach the nearest mob.

Command Block C1

Command Block C2

/execute as @a[scores={star=1..}] at @s run effect @s jump_boost 1 2 true
