How to add gravity to blocks
You can’t. Blocks with gravity like sand and gravel are actually entities upon falling, which become blocks once again once the falling ends.

What is the identifier of petrified oak slab?
petrified?
compact temple
Yes.
light geyser
Petrified oak slabs are a unique type of slab available through commands or by upgrading from legacy versions. Unlike all other slabs, they are unobtainable through conventional Survival gameplay and the only way to obtain them is through commands.

hi block experts, I m making a custom fire block, so far it is working fine excepted by a single feature that I m not able to reproduce.
the vanilla fire can be placed by commands like fill or setblock only if the bellow block is a solid block, so that solid block can "hold" the fire.
right now my custom fire is able to be placed anywhere including in the air or over water, is there anything that I can make to it act like a fire with commands?
woven robin
btw do someone know what is the id of the fire when it is placed over a netherrack? because it is not minecraft:fire, at least it is not matching with that condition q.block_neighbor_has_any_tag(0, -1, 0, 'water', 'fire') == true

add the following component:

and your event could look like this:

but I cannot test for fire states, right? I tried but it seems to not accept, we cannot test by air too, right?
woven robin
oh I know it can test for air, on setblock it would work but I m running it with API to place an area of blocks, so testing each block position to run the setblock will generate too much loops and slow running scripts. that is why I was trying another way to let the block decides it self if should remain or not by just checing if bellow block is air or water. for water it worked with the tag components, for air I saw it is not possible, so now my doubt is, is it possible to use the execute unless command testint an entire area to after run the fill command where I can run few loops in my script?
white bobcat
```
execute unless block ~ ~-1 ~ not_allowed_block run setblock ~ ~ ~ air
```
The same command, but with blocks and starting and ending coordinates iirc
See it like block is setblock, while blocks is fill, but with an inverted behavior thanks to the unless key in the execute

why is it that my saw, looks like this??
instead of this
nothing wrong with the geometry.

i genuinely don't know what to do, ive tried everything i know of

try setting textures width an height to 32, 32 instead 48, 96
if that doesn't work the try to set 64, 64
I'm assuming that's where the problem is
digital crystal
try setting textures width an height to 32, 32 instead 48, 96
i just set it to 48 48 rn and it works, but theres still a problem, i actually wanted it to be animated using flipbook textures which is why the height was doubled, i want the saw blade to be animated but now i dont think that's possible
but if it genuinely is impossible then im fine with settling on what i have now
mellow carbon
try playing around with flipbook textures
eventually you'll find out the problem

Make sure you're using material instances and unit cube

}```i did something like this for all 4 sides, couldnt post it all cuz of discord character limit, but also did nothing
im guessing this has to be whats wrong, in blocks.json and changing it in any way breaks everything
its like it never listens to material instances or direction changes and strictly follows this
terrain textures
mellow carbon
if you're using material_instances then do not use block.json for texture
digital crystal
if you're using material_instances then do not use block.json for texture
doing that does this.
unless you mean put all of them seperately in there
which also doesnt work

Do you have to make a custom block to plant custom crops or can it be vanilla tilled soil?
I found the info about custom crops on the wiki but doesn't specify about if you are forced to do custom farmland or not
white bobcat
You are not. Blocks can be placed anywhere, so you decide whether to keep the growing mechanic of a plant or not according to the block below.
However, you have to considerate that vanilla farmland converts into dirt if a block is placed in top of it. That is what the custom farmland is mainly for, I would say.

Hello @wooden whale! 👋
I would like to request information regarding the [Content Log Message](#1067876948858118185 message) regarding the blocking of permutations beyond 64k in a world. I am feeling confused as I am unable to comprehend it when I believe I should. Could you please explain how it actually works and what it implies?
For example. I have a custom block with 11 permutations. I have placed 133128 of this same block in my world. This equals to 1464408 permutations. No errors whatsoever.
desert vector
For example. I have a custom block with 11 permutations. I have placed 133128 of...
i believe it's permutations in terms of collections of state values, not items of the permutations array
e.g. {"example:state": 1, "example:another_state": 2}
white bobcat
I am assuming you are reffering to properties aka block states?
desert vector
yes
i assume having 2 blocks with the exact same state values (permutation) will count as 1 permutation for the limit
white bobcat
That would also not make sense with the example I provided. My block has 12 property values (block states), this equals to 1597536 properties.
desert vector
but a high amount of combinations of state values would have to be placed in your world for the warning to appear
white bobcat
That would also not make sense with the example I provided. My block has 12 prop...
Oh also, a custom block cannot exceed 64 property values. That's an extra note
desert vector
i think i've added that info in my wiki pr
i might change the wording on the wiki so that the meaning of permutation is more clear, the permutations array contains lists of components which are conditionally applied based on the block's current permutation (the block's current block state values)
white bobcat
but a high amount of combinations of state values would have to be placed in you...
But then why refer to the world if is a block thing related to the block itself
desert vector
they all have the same permutation though, they all have the same depth
so it only adds one to the world's permutation count
white bobcat
Oh, I think I get it then. Would like Kayla to confirm my doubts & this information though
white bobcat
Also if that is like that, rephrase that to:
World with over 65536 different block permutations may degrade performance. . .
wai thats content log I think lol
amazing
Is that a ss of content log?
desert vector
no it's ms learn
white bobcat
Even better
desert vector
although this sentence makes no sense regarding block permutation
Attempting to add a resource pack with more permutations than said cap will result in the following warning
surely it would be "Attempting to load a world with..."
white bobcat
ah yes, I tend to add my permutations in the rp block folders
white bobcat
surely it would be "Attempting to load a world with..."
Yes, definitely

i saw someone who did get the warning and i think it counts the number of each permutation in a world

It's based on total permutations, not number of blocks.
So if you have a custom block with 1 property and that value has 16 states, you have 16 permutations.
If you have a custom block with 4 properties with 16 states, you have 65k permutations (16x16x16x16).
It doesn't matter how many times you use that block. The limit is only for total permutations.

Wondering how I can make a block duplicate itself from ~ -62 ~ to ~ 319 ~

is the warning only shown if 65k permutations are placed in the world? Simply adding a block with the following states doesn't trigger a warning:

hi block experts, I have noticed that my custom blocks always have a not "natural" shadow compared with the vanilla blocks, like the photo, the two blocks highlighted are custom, and you can notice a different light/shadow it have from the environment, while the vanilla blocks seems to have a more elegant shadow...
is there anything I can do to improve that?
vestal marsh
Use the alpha_test matieral in material_instanes
Sorry, type, material_instances
Add that component to your file, and change the render method to alpha_test
That is english...
desert vector
it has examples, to support transparency it would be like this:
"minecraft:material_instances": {

"render_method": "alpha_test" // Allows for transparency
}
}
it means it applies to all of your block

did you mean translucency? for that you need to use "blend", not "alpha_test"

Just to kind of get it confirmed: you cannot yet add a preferred tool type to blocks (so, say, axes are the tool that break a new log faster). You cannot yet make it so a block will only drop if it’s broken with a specific level of tool or higher (unless loot tables can specify specific items, but that wouldn’t necessarily work for custom pickaxes if there isn’t an item tag for levels of pickaxe like there can be in modded Java). Stairs and walls are probably currently impossible (though I heard something about slabs that maybe they are possible?).
If I’m wrong about any of that, do correct me, I’m just considering migrating from Java in hopes that these systems will be more stable version-to-version than the Java toolkit is

Wait I thought there was a whole thing for custom collision boxes? Is it just that you can only have one box and not the multiple necessary for stairs?

yes, only one box is allowed per block
raven pelican
Well that’s annoying
Hopefully we’ll have the tools soon… and considering the whole custom block thing was more or less built in late 1.19 it might not be too long until it is

desert vector
You could use the minecraft:facing_direction state with rotation transformations
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/rotatable-blocks#facing-direction-rotation
desert vector
are you trying to rotate the block based on which face it's placed on or the direction the player is facing?
yes
that reduces the amount of rotations to 3 which replicates log placement
just do q.block_face and remove the rest
0 down
1 up
2 north
3 south
4 west
5 east
you could use the facing direction example for the rotation values

Yeah for sure. I was asking for the delay time when you step off it. It takes a little bit to go back to it's off state. This is because I'm creating a game in which you need to step on contiguous pressure plates as fast as you can to activate a Redstone mechanism, but since all the plates have connected redstone wires, you have to wait for any of the plates to turn off to press the other one. I was thinking on how can I speed up the process (or even change the dynamics of the game altogether)

Hello, I'd like to make a decorative block with the size of 32x16 (a sofa). How can I do that, because Bedrock Block has limit to 30 pixels.
raven wyvern
I don't understand what's going on. The name is weird and texture is not applied to the block.
When I first created the block, I've misspelled the name. Deleted it in the folder. Tried to create the new block, but Bedrock Wizard stuck on the last step.
I just closed the window, made the block and texture and now I've got this ^
raven wyvern
I've checked my json files. There was no block and texture info, so I've pasted. The texture is working fine, but the name is still strange as well as the icon.
If you can see, the back of the chair is transparent on the icon. But the texture is not.

Well that solved it but it broke the custom geo and alpha
Maybe I should re state my goals. A custom shaped block with lots of random textures.
white bobcat
Custom geometries aren't possible if you use blocks.json, yes
You can make the random texture from the server side so you can still use the custom geo

Do you have an example of what a custom BP Block randomized would be and what format version it is. I can't keep up with the changes.
white bobcat
I don't have an example I could provide you, but I can guide you through making it
haughty compass
ok, I'll have to come back to it, thank you. Deep in ui editing right now, have to finish that.
white bobcat
Alright. I'll leave you the idea of what you have to make here, if you have any difficulties executing it feel free to ping me for help.
What you require of is to make your block run an event with the randomize key upon placed (or upon whatever you prefer instead of placing), that sets the block into a specified state. This should make the block change within states randomly. You will read these states in permutations, and add the material_instance component with a different texture in each of them. This will result in the block to have a defined texture based on it's block state, which is randomly given.
faint glen
how do you make a block have 1 texture facing the player depending on where the player places it?
just like, be able to rotate blocks
basically think of a chest that rotates to face where u are looking (but no functionally)

The last time I tried(about 2 years ago), it was possible, but the uv has to be a power of 2(16,32,etc.). It could have changed since then though
haughty compass
And that was on custom block geos right?
ebon laurel
Yeah. It was a pretty simple geometry(just a smaller cube), but in theory any model should work as long as the texture is 16x16 or some other multiple of that
haughty compass
Perfect. I'll test it out.
Are we going to get any form of geo animation for blocks? Like an entity does?
or maybe a blend between states. For example I have a well with a bucket. If would be nice if the bucket could lift/lower

I was hoping to apply the same concept to my block geos to simulate random rotation.
white bobcat
huh, kinda hard…
I don’t really recall what block traits are outside of experimental
And that is your most viable solution for now. Unless you use a vanilla block as a ‘template’ to replace with your custom block, in its rotated state
haughty compass
I feel like I'm crazy. Aren't the 3 most common things done with a block is have it randomize it's rotation so it's not all the same direction, allow rotation on placement and randomize it's textures from a list. It's really odd to me these weren't the priority to get easy right off the bat. IMO these should be easy components you add in the block. Not complex processes for commonly used things. 90% of my blocks will need these 3 "features"
white bobcat
They are very easy to do
Without experimental is a whole different history
