Get the Addon Working and Set Your First Item Cooldown

If you've just added Item Cooldown Addon to a world, follow these steps to confirm it works and to apply your first cooldown.

Turn On Experimental Settings

1. Exit to the world list and click the edit (pencil) icon next to your world.

2. Scroll to the Experiments section of the world options.

3. If the addon isn't responding, enable the experimental toggles there. The addon's instructions say to enable Experimental Settings when it doesn't work.

4. Load the world again.

Commands in Bedrock generally need cheats to be allowed. If chat rejects the command, check that cheats are on for the world.

Check the Commands and Apply a Cooldown

1. Open the chat window.

2. Type /itemcooldown help and press Enter. This lists the available commands. If you see the list, the addon is active.

3. Choose an item to test, such as a sword you're carrying.

4. Type /itemcooldown attackCooldown <item> <seconds>. Replace <item> with the item's ID, for example minecraft:diamond_sword.

5. Close chat and hit something with that item twice in a row.

If the cooldown is working, the second attack won't go through right away.

If you'd rather start over, /itemcooldown reset clears every cooldown you've set.
