Silver Star Library

Various changes for performance and robustness, as well as some updated item and block tags. Now fully compatible with 26.1.2. Most notable is the addition of SSIDs!

SSIDs are an evolution on the previous URID system, and as such, they replace URIDs, which are no longer supported. An SSID is a 9-digit number assigned upon request to any entity, which is stored as a scoreboard value, and cannot be used more than once, EVER, PER WORLD. They're assigned by running the following function as the entity to be assigned:

ssid:assign

SSIDs are meant to be used as a scoreboard-based identifier for entities, which also allows global data storage on a per-entity basis. If you pass their SSID through the Parse module, and use that to create/access a data storage location, this allows for complex (as in more than just scoreboards) storage, that will only be accessed by the right entity.

SSIDs also support some fun developer features:

ssid:request
ssid:reserve
ssid:reset

Request is used to request a specific number, if you as a developer have a number you like to use. Some numbers, including 1-99 and a couple others, have been reserved by default, for myself and some close friends. Using ssid:request with the {"ssid":""} macro, and inputting your requested SSID, will either assign it to you, or return an error if it's already in use/reserved.

Reserve is used to reserve an SSID for an entity that may not currently exist. It takes two input macros: "player" and "ssid". "player" is typically a player's UUID, and "ssid" is self explanatory.

Reset will remove the SSIDs of all currently existing entities with the specified SSID, and will remove that SSID from the log of used SSIDs, allowing it to be used again later.

Thanks for your patience while I was updating!
