How do I send a custom Tellraw message based on the player in a certain location in Minecraft
Solution 1:
Minecraft uses dots to specify bigger than and smaller than when using tags such as distance=n.
- 2 dots in front (
distance=..n) stands for smaller than n. - 2 dots at the end (
distance=n..) stands for bigger than n.
Additionally, both terms can be used in one tag (e.g.: distance=y..n stands for bigger than y and smaller than n.).
To answer your question, change distance=3 to distance=..3, problem solved.
