Exclude parameter

The exclude parameter allows us to narrow down our search by ignoring events that match a specific item, block, entity type or player.

The ability to ignore players makes this incredibly useful for cases such as checking for stealing from chests, as you can exclude the owner from the lookup so any stealing is immediately obvious.

Types of exclude parameters

The include parameter can be any one of:

• a block
• an item
• an entity
• a player

Specifying multiple patterns

Sometimes, you don't want to just exclude up a single item but rather a list of items. You can do this by separating the different item IDs using a comma, for example:

include:stone,cobblestone,smooth_stone

Example: excluding a shop owner from a lookup

/co lookup radius:5 action:container time:3d exclude:Minecraft123

Example: excluding multiple shop owners from a lookup

/co lookup radius:5 action:container time:3d exclude:Minecraft123,Minecraft456
