Hi, I've seen some things that cube that kubeJS can do and I want to make some stuff for my minecraft server. How easy would a block that explodes when mined be to make? Where should i start? Any good tutorials?

#

hmm

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

I noticed the "adding new blocks" section in the documentation is marked legacy? what does this mean in this context

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

workin on it

#

heres an example on creating the block with kubejs, this goes in you startup scripts, i also put in other examples just to show what else you could do with it ```js
StartupEvents.registry('block', event => {
// Register new items here
event.create('exploding_block').displayName('Exploding Block')
.material('dirt')
.hardness(0.8)
.tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/shovel') // Make it mine faster using a shovel in 1.18.2+
.requiresTool(false) // Make it require a tool to drop ay loot

event.create('charred_dirt').displayName('Charred Dirt')
.material('dirt')
   .hardness(0.8)
   .tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/shovel') // Make it mine faster using a shovel in 1.18.2+
     .requiresTool(false) // Make it require a tool to drop ay loot



event.create('charred_stone').displayName('Charred Stone')
.material('stone')
   .hardness(1)
   .tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/pickaxe') // Make it mine faster using a shovel in 1.18.2+
     .requiresTool(true) // Make it require a tool to drop ay loot



event.create('charred_earth').displayName('Charred Earth')
.material('dirt')
   .hardness(0.7)
   .tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/shovel') // Make it mine faster using a shovel in 1.18.2+
     .requiresTool(false) // Make it require a tool to drop ay loot

})```

#

as for exploding it on impact you can specify it and run an event when its broken

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

are the rest of the blocks needed? (the charred varients)

#

oh wait

#

you say at the top that the rest are optional

#

sorry!

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

nah those are just there as examples

#

you can delete those if you want or comment them out if you wanna save the reference

#

you can change the display name to whatever you want, you need the name of the event.create('name') to be the same as the one in your resource pack youll make, kubejs supports resource packs which youll find in the kubejs folder>assets

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

does hardness determine the tool level required, the speed of mining, or both?

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

i dont believe so

#

i think thats just how long it takes to mine

#

er hmm one sec ill have to reference that actually cause now im not sure

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

StartupEvents.registry('block', event => { event.create('reactive_brick').displayName('Reactive Brick') .material('stone') .hardness(2.0) .tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/pickaxe') .requiresTool(true) })

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

then this is what you put into your server scripts folder

BlockEvents.broken(event => {
    if (event.block.getId().toString() == ('kubejs:exploding_block')) {
        let explosion = event.block.createExplosion()
explosion.strength(10)
//explosion.exploder(event.player)
explosion.damagesTerrain(false)
explosion.explode()
    }
})```

#

you can specify how big you want the explosion to be

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:33 PM

#

nimble monolith `StartupEvents.registry('block', event => { event.create('reactive_brick').d...

that looks good, also since its a startup script changes wont take place unless you restart the full game

#

if you want the player to not be damaged by the explosion then you can uncomment ```js
explosion.exploder(event.player)

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:34 PM

#

will they still be pushed back?

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:37 PM

#

hmm i think it works like a normal explosion, id have to mess around with it

#

also to determine which pickaxe to use you have to use the block tag to set it

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:37 PM

#

uncut magnet hmm i think it works like a normal explosion, id have to mess around with it

i would asume not

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:38 PM

#

it does push you back but its weak cause 10 strength is apparently weak

#

lemme ramp it up a bit

#

youd have to mess around with it

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

can i customize the damage indipentantly of blast strength?

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

oh hmm maybe it doesnt cause knockback actually

#

i believe so

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

maybe you could you use explosion.exploder(event.player) to make it not do damage, and then apply the damage manually?

#

to things that get hit by the blast?

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

you could definately do that

#

also i put the strength to 200 and its still doing the same amount of damage so lemme figure it out

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

its no biggie, i'll have it just be a regualar explosion

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

OH OK so strength is what determines the explosion radius where it breaks blocks

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

i know this much

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

good luck my man

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

ok

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

lemme know if theres anything else i can help out with

nimble monolith Aug 22, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

also what about textures?

#

i have them, how do i make them work?

uncut magnet Aug 22, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

ok so the assets folder in the kubejs folder is the same as any other texture pack

#

youd create a kubejs folder (since the custom items namespace is kubejs (kubejs:reactive_block)) inside of the assets folder and put your files there the same you would any other texturepack

#

like assets>kubejs>textures

#

if youre curious on the folder structure then just look in any other texture pack to see what they did and just mimic them

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:09 AM

#

seems like it already generates one

#

#

how should the texture be saved? like whats the UV wrapping like

#

like this?

#

@uncut magnet

#

are you ok with me pinging you to ask for help?

uncut magnet Aug 23, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

nimble monolith are you ok with me pinging you to ask for help?

thats fine, also im not quite sure how to texture a multi faced block though i can look through to see if theres an example for you

#

@nimble monolith heres someone who asked a similar question #1126797179898560542 message

next magnetBOT Aug 23, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

chiefarug

[Quote ➤](#1126797179898560542 message) you can add states, but its a little bit of a pain since you have to then also add placements for those states

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

thats for direction blocks

#

anyway i figured this much out

#

#

i see i have to have multible textures for sides

#

also the explosion part works

uncut magnet Aug 23, 2023, 12:32 AM

#

nice

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:33 AM

#

any idea about the names for the sides though?

#

right now i have reactive_brick.png

#

what would i name the sides so it automatical knows what sides which?

#

they name them like this in minecraft so i'll try this

#

nope

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

youll need to use a model file

#

one sec

#

take a look at this

#

thats the model file for chiseled sandstone

#

youll need to make one similiar to that

#

create kubejs\assets\kubejs\models\block\reactive_brick.json

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

i see

#

pop

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

then in it put:

{
  "parent": "minecraft:block/cube_column",
  "textures": {
    "bottom": "kubejs:block/reactive_brick_bottom",
    "side": "kubejs:block/reactive_brick_side",
    "top": "kubejs:block/reactive_brick_top"
  }
}

#

i think that should work then

#

as usual use F3+T to reload

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

almost

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

try "end" instead of "top" in the 6th line

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

was about to say that

#

what about bottom?

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

let me check

#

ah i see the problem

#

cube_column has same texture for top and bottom

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:50 AM

#

what should we use?

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:50 AM

#

actually revert the top to end change, then just change cube_column to cube_bottom_top

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

done

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

try now

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

lets see if it worked

#

thats more like it

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:52 AM

#

very nice

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:57 AM

#

ok i really want some way to modfiy the explosion damage

#

it has a very wide radius but barely does any damage

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 12:58 AM

#

im pretty sure thats not possible

#

hm

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 12:59 AM

#

can i apply explosion type damage to the breaker of the block?

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

yes you should be able to

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

how should i go about doing that?

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

hmmm.. im not seing any method to damage a player

#

oh wait i have an idea

#

oh wait there is

#

attack(source, hp damage)

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

uncut magnet then this is what you put into your server scripts folder ```js BlockEvents.brok...

in your block breaking event

#

event.player.attack("idontknowtheidforexplosion",386427634)

#

add that somewhere

#

of course replace the id and damage with what you want it to be

nimble monolith Aug 23, 2023, 1:06 AM

#

like this? BlockEvents.broken(event => { if (event.block.getId().toString() == ('kubejs:reactive_brick')) { let explosion = event.block.createExplosion() explosion.strength(6) explosion.damagesTerrain(false) explosion.explode() attack(INSERT_TNT_ID, 7.5) } })

#

i think the ID is explosion

#

#

do you know how i apply this attack to the player?

#

@green lynx?

green lynx Aug 23, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

like this:

BlockEvents.broken(event => {
    if (event.block.getId().toString() == ('kubejs:reactive_brick')) {
        let explosion = event.block.createExplosion()
explosion.strength(6)
explosion.damagesTerrain(false)
explosion.explode()
event.player.attack('explosion.player', 7.5)
    }
})

uncut magnet Aug 23, 2023, 1:16 AM

#

nimble monolith like this?` BlockEvents.broken(event => { if (event.block.getId().toString()...
