Yes, and what exactly do you need?

seems you need [receive] to take a receive name and you're using
[receive13] instead. If you don't like a decade old dead external, you can
use [else/receiver], which is pretty much alive.

If you search on github, you'll see a request to add an inlet to vanilla's
[receive] here https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/603 and a fix
was proposed here https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/604

what's in the way is this -->
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/604#issuecomment-562873572

and there are two currently active PRs that needed to be merged before to
clear out the way, they are https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1759
and https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1760

So, hopefully, these can be considered soon and merged and we'll see if
Vanilla can also support this, so I can also get rid of else/receiver :)

cheers
