I was new here so don't mad at me if I've done something wrong.

So basically I was trying to make a map in 1.12.2. And I have a problem.

I tried to make a command to detect if a player is standing on a gold block and runs a command which is

/tellraw @p {"text":"Checkpoint!","color":"yellow"}

.

And I did this.

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block 0 /tellraw @p {"text":"Checkpoint":"color":"yellow"} 

I put this in a repeat command block and set it always active.

Can I do this without spamming it?

Put DoCommandBlockOutput gamerule to false. Type this command:

/gamerule docommandblockoutput false

and it'll stop spamming the message inside the chat.

I think you mean CommandBlockOutput, without the "Do"

My solution works better on a one-player map, as it will send the message to everyone even if only one player makes it to the checkpoint.

Put a Repeating command block set to Always Active and put this command:

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ testforblock ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block 0

Then, put a Comparator leading away from the command block, and set an Impulse command block on the other side of the Comparator.

In the Impulse command block, put this command:

/tellraw @a {"text":"Checkpoint!","color":"yellow"}

Again, this will send a message to everyone.

I'm not 100% sure if this will work on Java, but it works on Bedrock.

In the Impulse command block, you can put:

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ gold_block 0 /tellraw @a {"text":"@p Reached a Checkpoint!","color":"yellow"}

If I'm correct, this should display "[Player Name] Reached a Checkpoint!"

In Java version, it won't say the player name but "@p Reached a Checkpoint!" And thank you for helping me out, I sorted it out earlier.
