Custom cake-like block

[vestal yew]

Hi all, I am trying to make a custom pizza block, with the following properties:

• The pizza must be placed and eaten slice by slice, similar to a cake.
• Breaking the item, regardless of tool, drops nothing
• The number of slices should be customizable
• The nutritional value of the slices should be customizable

Following this post: (#1184426569012351017 message) I can make a cake, but I can't figure out how to change the number of "slices" or "bites"; it looks like it just copies the exact properties of the vanilla minecraft cake.

(Also, on 1.20.1, it appears that using .tab() on $ItemProperties causes an error

§7dev.latvian.mods.rhino.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot find function tab in object net.minecraft.world.item.Item$Properties@73c6ae9d. (startup_scripts:pizza.js#20)```
that I believe may be related to this change: (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76941006/minecraft-forge-item-properties-tab-method-cannot-be-resolved). )

I am aware that the addon KubeJS Delight allows for custom Farmer's Delight pie-type foods, but the documentation doesn't show any way to change the number of slices or the nutritional value of each slice.

Does anyone know: what would be the best way to go about this?

Optionally if you have farmers delight installed you can reference that instead

I believe they have edible dishes more complex than a cake so you could look at that for how to make pizza dishes look slice proper slices and not pizza slivers

[tardy canyon]

From the vanilla cake it seems to be really hardcoded the amount of bites you can take

[crisp lotus]

Which is why I said look at farmers delight

It has pies with 4 slices iirc

[tardy canyon]

The amount of bites are referred in the block states and modifying them with kubejs is not possible for custom blocks

[vestal yew]

If I made a Farmer's-Delight-pie-like block instead of a vanilla-cake-like block, would it be possible to change the blockstates then?

Alternatively... how awful would it be to code what I want from scratch in KubeJS?

[crisp lotus]

Prob not too bad

You could check for a right click event, decrement a blockstate or nbt value and give food

[crisp lotus]

Not sure, you'll have to look at the source

[tardy canyon]

No, you can only use the blockstates provided by farmers delight in general. The only exception would be if they have some sort of cake builder which does this dynamically

[crisp lotus]

Lytho and my direct reply are answering the top question btw

[tardy canyon]

There could be a change they have this, when they have multiple variants with different slices

[crisp lotus]

My first reply was the bottom question

[crisp lotus]

Which is why I'd advise checking it

[tardy canyon]

Alternatively... how awful would it be to code what I want from scratch in KubeJS?

Completely in kubejs? not possible

[crisp lotus]

Nah it is

With some trickery using block entities etc

Definitely not ideal tho

[tardy canyon]

through block entities maybe. But thats not really nice

[crisp lotus]

Nope

Best to see if farmers delight has anything

[tardy canyon]

But with block states it's not possible as you need to override a method in the block class which is not possible with kubejs. There is maybe a Forge Event which can hook that, but I don't know one from my head. But I also don't remember all events

[vestal yew]

Okay, I think I understand. Sounds like my best bet is to see if Farmer's Delight has some kind of dynamic cake builder

[crisp lotus]

Yup

It might not be called cake builder though

Because I believe it has some roast chicken that does the same thing

[vestal yew]

Oh! hmmmmm

[crisp lotus]

It might be called sliced food builder if there is one

[vestal yew]

Farmer's Delight has a "feast"-type food item... and I know that KubeJS Delight can control how many "portions" a "feast" has...

[crisp lotus]

Or something more along those lines

[crisp lotus]

That will likely work

Assuming feast is like the roast chicken I was on about

[vestal yew]

I will look into this

[tardy canyon]

https://github.com/vectorwing/FarmersDelight/blob/1.20/src/main/java/vectorwing/farmersdelight/common/block/PieBlock.java

They don't have custom shapes (Hitbox). Is the shape for farmer delights cakes always the same no matter how many slices left

[crisp lotus]

No

It uses a voxel I think

public int getMaxBites() {

This is interesting

https://github.com/vectorwing/FarmersDelight/blob/60c612c058385434b8ae3c7277b7d1d4ea3ffd50/src/main/java/vectorwing/farmersdelight/common/block/PieBlock.java#L59

That function

If overridden

Could work

[tardy canyon]

also hardcoded then mmh

maybe time to add a cake block to kjs directly

[vestal yew]

That would be very cool someday

[crisp lotus]

Any leads on the feast item

From the addon mod

[crisp lotus]

?

[vestal yew]

There is this: https://github.com/vectorwing/FarmersDelight/blob/1.20/src/main/java/vectorwing/farmersdelight/common/block/FeastBlock.java

[tardy canyon]

they really have just one shape lul

[vestal yew]

ha! interesting

[crisp lotus]

https://wiki.latvian.dev/books/kubejs/page/kubejs-farmers-delight

Or just this

[crisp lotus]

Oh really I swear the shape changed

[tardy canyon]

what is a feast item. JEI has no for feast

[crisp lotus]

It's what farmers delight calls the multi slice items as a group

[crisp lotus]

@vestal yew

Thus does exactly what you want

[vestal yew]

I can't remember any examples, I think one of them is hoglin something (edit: I am mistaken, I am thinking of the Nether's Delight addon)

[tardy canyon]

dus?

[crisp lotus]

That's what I was on about yup

I'm on mobile rn

So I can't test

I'll get on my pc in a sec

[tardy canyon]

yeah its also hardcoded

ah no servings can be choosed, but it's not circular

for a pizza not that great

[vestal yew]

With the feast, it's a bit interesting - right clicking on the feast changes the blockstate, but then gives you a "portion" item, so you don't eat directly from the block

It's more like you "harvest" the block to get some item, and then eat the item

[tardy canyon]

yeah

[tardy canyon]

if this. I would need to figure out how to slice it

making 6 circular is not really possible as an example

or im too dumb for 3D

[vestal yew]

I am not familiar with model limitations

But, would it not be up to the user to decide what each successive model looks like?

[tardy canyon]

it can't really be diagonal

[vestal yew]

Ah I see

[tardy canyon]

so thats basic 4 slices

[vestal yew]

Well, there are square-cut pizzas

though that introduces problems for prime-numbered slices...

no wait

[tardy canyon]

this is how a 8 and 6 could look like

[vestal yew]

ugh

Prime-numbered slices would have to just have parallel cuts, like how vanilla cake is

[tardy canyon]

yeah but that kinda sucks for a pizza

[crisp lotus]

You can do diagonal

Just only 22.5 degree increments

[crisp lotus]

That 8 slice one is how I cut my pizza irl

[tardy canyon]

no, shapes cannot be diagonal. Models can be, but then also they would clip in each other and may also has z fighting

[crisp lotus]

Ye, tho z fighting can be fixed by slightly offsetting stuff

[crisp lotus]

For reference I have homemade rectangular pizzas

Because its so much easier to make than circle ones

And fits the oven better

[vestal yew]

radially symmetric slices are okay for powers of two, I guess... up to 16 slices, if my math is right?

[crisp lotus]

Coming back to this, a pizza slice item seems fine

[tardy canyon]

technically 32 are possible

1px wide lol

[crisp lotus]

They mean using diagonals

[crisp lotus]

Yes but texturing will be a mini nightmare with diagonals

[vestal yew]

that does sound awful

[crisp lotus]

You're better off having square or rectangle slices

[vestal yew]

a bit strange that when your pizza is done, it leaves behind a bowl and perhaps some bones XD

[crisp lotus]

That isn't hardcoded I don't think

That's just a model that could be overrided

Especially using KubeJS delight

[dreamy steppe]

Good thing people ask this type of thing so i can read it later, my dumbass would add a custom block for each state of the "cake" and then remove the slices with a right click event

[tardy canyon]

Thats not even a bad solution

Removing all item builders for the slices and just keep one item builder and update the loot tables correclty and you should be fine

Nice solution

[vestal yew]

I can't seem to find the syntax for updating a player's food bar on BlockEvents.rightClicked, any idea how to do that?

[tardy canyon]

eh

iirc event.player.foodData and then idk which methods there exactly

Install probejs to get autocompletion there

[tight ruin]

ProbeJS is an addon mod for KubeJS that generates typings files for VSCode, allowing VSCode to offer autocompletions for a ton of things!

Mod by @civic smelt

[vestal yew]

Okay, reporting back on my progress: creating the blocks was very straightforward and I believe I have the hunger/saturation mechanic working. However, when I right-click on the pizza it eats two slices at once

Here is the code for eating:

function eatBlock(ingredient, result) {
    BlockEvents.rightClicked(ingredient, event => {
        event.player.swing()
        if(event.player.getFoodLevel() < 20){
            event.block.set(result)
            event.player.setFoodLevel(event.player.getFoodLevel() + 7)
            event.player.setSaturation(event.player.getSaturation() + 7)
        }
    })
}

// Eat
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie', 'kubejs:pizza_pie_slice1');
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie_slice1', 'kubejs:pizza_pie_slice2');
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie_slice2', 'kubejs:pizza_pie_slice3');
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie_slice3', 'minecraft:air');

[dreamy steppe]

that's cuz the right click event fires for each player hand

add a filter to check if the player is clicking with the main hand

event.player.hand iirc

[vestal yew]

aha! That has done the trick, thank you!

The last thing is, for vanilla cake it's possible to eat the slices in creative mode

For my custom pizza, that doesn't seem to be working...

[dreamy steppe]

add a Or statement with event.player.isCreative()

[vestal yew]

IT WORKS!!!!

omg I am so happy, thank you everyone for your help!!

In case anyone else needs what I've done...

This is my pizza.js script that I placed in the startup_scripts folder:

StartupEvents.registry("block", (event) => {
    event.create("pizza_pie") // Create a new block
    .displayName("Test Pizza") // Set a custom name
    .hardness(0.5) // Set hardness (affects mining time)
    .resistance(0.5) // Set resistance (to explosions, etc)
    .tagBoth("hexpack_pizza:pizza") // Tag the block with `#my_namespace:my_other_tag`
    .mapColor('none') // block will not show up on maps
    .soundType('wool')
    .opaque(false)
    .fullBlock(false)
    .box(2, 0, 2, 14, 4, 14)
    .waterlogged()
    .noDrops()
    .noValidSpawns(true)
    .suffocating(false)
    .viewBlocking(true)
    .transparent(true)

    event.create("pizza_pie_slice1") // Create a new block
    .displayName("Test Pizza") // Set a custom name
    .hardness(0.5) // Set hardness (affects mining time)
    .resistance(0.5) // Set resistance (to explosions, etc)
    .noItem()
    .tagBlock("hexpack_pizza:pizza") // Tag the block with `#my_namespace:my_other_tag`
    .mapColor('none') // block will not show up on maps
    .soundType('wool')
    .opaque(false)
    .fullBlock(false)
    .box(2, 0, 2, 14, 4, 14)
    .waterlogged()
    .noDrops()
    .noValidSpawns(true)
    .suffocating(false)
    .viewBlocking(true)
    .transparent(true)

    event.create("pizza_pie_slice2") // Create a new block
    .displayName("Test Pizza") // Set a custom name
    .hardness(0.5) // Set hardness (affects mining time)
    .resistance(0.5) // Set resistance (to explosions, etc)
    .noItem()
    .tagBlock("hexpack_pizza:pizza") // Tag the block with `#my_namespace:my_other_tag`
    .mapColor('none') // block will not show up on maps
    .soundType('wool')
    .opaque(false)
    .fullBlock(false)
    .box(2, 0, 2, 14, 4, 14)
    .waterlogged()
    .noDrops()
    .noValidSpawns(true)
    .suffocating(false)
    .viewBlocking(true)
    .transparent(true)

    event.create("pizza_pie_slice3") // Create a new block
    .displayName("Test Pizza") // Set a custom name
    .hardness(0.5) // Set hardness (affects mining time)
    .resistance(0.5) // Set resistance (to explosions, etc)
    .noItem()
    .tagBlock("hexpack_pizza:pizza") // Tag the block with `#my_namespace:my_other_tag`
    .mapColor('none') // block will not show up on maps
    .soundType('wool')
    .opaque(false)
    .fullBlock(false)
    .box(2, 0, 2, 14, 4, 14)
    .waterlogged()
    .noDrops()
    .noValidSpawns(true)
    .suffocating(false)
    .viewBlocking(true)
    .transparent(true)
})

and this is my pizza_eating.js script that I placed in the server_scripts folder:

function eatBlock(ingredient, result) {
    BlockEvents.rightClicked(ingredient, event => {
        event.player.swing()
        if(
            (
                event.player.getFoodLevel() < 20 ||
                event.player.isCreative()
            ) &&
            event.hand == 'MAIN_HAND'
        )
        {
            event.block.set(result)
            event.player.setFoodLevel(event.player.getFoodLevel() + 7)
            event.player.setSaturation(event.player.getSaturation() + 7)
        }
    })
}

// Eat
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie', 'kubejs:pizza_pie_slice1');
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie_slice1', 'kubejs:pizza_pie_slice2');
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie_slice2', 'kubejs:pizza_pie_slice3');
eatBlock('kubejs:pizza_pie_slice3', 'minecraft:air');

For my example, I chose four slices just to test

but one can set however many slices

It does require some work doing the models and textures for each block, but that is not a kubejs topic strictly speaking

The last thing I would ask is, by default kubejs automatically creates an item for the block. How do I change the texture for this item? I tried placing a file in kubejs/assets/textures/item/ but it does not seem to have worked

[vestal yew]

figured this out! The code is:

.item(item => 
        item.modelJson({
          parent: 'minecraft:item/generated',
          textures: {
            // with texture at kubejs/assets/kubejs/textures/item/my_block.png
            layer0: 'kubejs:item/pizza_pie',
          },
        })
      )

And with that all my dreams have come true

Hello, I'm trying to make a copy of the stuffed pumpkin, how do I do?

like setting custom models, texture, and hitbox

[crisp lotus]

this ticket is really old

I directed you here to check it

but you already had your own ticket

please do not necro it
