The changes to JSON in the 1.9 snapshots mean that we have to use escape characters to make certain commands work (such as tellraw) due to having quotes within quotes.
I have been creating a 'One Command Block' contraption that summons command block minecarts riding one another to execute commands in a certain order.
I am trying to create 3 signs, each with colours and clickEvents.
For example, here is a command that creates a sign with the words 'Right Click to Destroy Machine' in red.
/setblock ~1 ~1 ~ minecraft:wall_sign 4 replace {Text1:"{\"text\":\"\"}",Text2:"{\"text\":\"Right Click To\",\"color\":\"dark_red\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"/fill ~ ~-1 ~1 ~6 ~2 ~-3 air\"}}",Text3:"{\"text\":\"Destroy Machine\",\"color\":\"dark_red\"}",Text4:"{\"text\":\"\"}"}
This command works on its own like this, however when a command block minecart is summoned preloaded with this command with this command:
/summon MinecartCommandBlock ~2 ~ ~ {Command:/setblock ~1 ~ ~1 minecraft:wall_sign 4 replace {Text1:"{\"text\":\"\"}",Text2:"{\"text\":\"Right Click To\",\"color\":\"dark_red\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"/fill ~ ~-1 ~1 ~6 ~2 ~-3 air\"}}",Text3:"{\"text\":\"Destroy Machine\",\"color\":\"dark_red\"}",Text4:"{\"text\":\"\"}"}}
The command block has this command (below) inside, which does not work as it results in this error: Data tag parsing failed: Unexpected token 't'...
Note how all of the escape characters are missing.
/setblock ~1 ~ ~1 minecraft:wall_sign 4 replace {Text1:"{"text":""}",Text2:"{"text":"Right Click To","color":"dark_red","clickEvent":{"action":"run_command","value":"/fill ~ ~-1 ~1 ~6 ~2 ~-3 air"}}",Text3:"{"text":"Destroy Machine","color":"dark_red"}",Text4:"{"text":""}"}
I have also tried surrounding the command with quotation marks like so:
/summon MinecartCommandBlock ~2 ~ ~ {Command:"/setblock ~1 ~ ~1 minecraft:wall_sign 4 replace {Text1:\"{\"text\":\"\"}\",Text2:\"{\"text\":\"Right Click To\",\"color\":\"dark_red\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"/fill ~ ~-1 ~1 ~6 ~2 ~-3 air\"}}\",Text3:\"{\"text\":\"Destroy Machine\",\"color\":\"dark_red\"}\",Text4:\"{\"text\":\"\"}\"}"}
The escape characters were still missing after running this one.
This has been annoying me because it means that I cannot have interactive signs on my contraption at the moment.
Thank you for reading, please let me know if there's anything I missed or need to clear up.
