woven robin
hi there, is it possible to make the block not solid simulating water but not using the collision box to manage it?
the reason for that is because I want to create a custom fire, the problem is that removing the collision box will stop triggering the on_step_on event which I use to apply the player damage, if I let a few height in collision box to allow it trigger the block seems weird acting like a slab...
white bobcat
That seems like overcomplicating your task
I recommend you using execute if block instead of on_step_on either from the block or a function. Get rid of the selection box with the selection box component.
woven robin
but execute if block runing as a command from the block?
white bobcat
Can be, or from the player, as you wish
woven robin
I was using something similar from block, with queued_ticking but the idea was to use this custom fire as a kind of spell in my server and it would generate lots of fire field, with the commands running was generating too much lag, so I had to remove it
from the player I never tried, will check how could it work

Can I q.block_state a custom statement representing bones in the geometry json? Attempting miniblocks using slabs vertical states but also using statements for l1 l2 r1 r2 states on a block face. Sorry trying to type up stuff on work break. Maybe this is the wrong approach to tackle this problem. But looking at the slabs template gave me inspiration.
white bobcat
I don’t quite understand your question
celest gulch
I don’t quite understand your question
Sorry, I'm very new to this. So in the template for a slab, the json says q.game_state: minecraft:vertical_placement.
This is a built in state for minecraft.
Can I q.game_state: custom:statename
And use that to determine the bones of a geometry.
I'm trying to engineer a way to make miniblocks, using slab mentality.
white bobcat
Are you talking about my slab template in the wiki? Because I did not used q.game_state since that does not exists.
celest gulch
Lemme double check, I may have some confusion.
celest gulch
Are you talking about [my slab template in the wiki](https://wiki.bedrock.dev/bl...
q.block_state, sorry, line 22 of the template.
What I'm asking is if I can create a custom state and query that.
Wow that was dumb, you literally query a custom state in the same line...
Oof
It already q.blockstate on the vertical placement. I want to split the vertical placement into 4 sections, maybe q1,q2,q3,q4. Making a slab actually 4 mini blocks. Making a block, 8 mini blocks.
I keep seeing entity based mini blocks, and most miniblocks have features I'm not interested in. I don't need sitting features, or for the miniblock to be placed in the center of a block. If there is a simpler way to make a mini BLOCK then I'm all ears lol.
white bobcat
You cannot do that, as it is a vanilla block trait which checks if the block was placed in the upper or bottom side of a block. You can however create your own block states and query them on your block permutations

I got multi textures to work with custom geo's by accident but I dont understand the logic. I simply made 4 blocks all using the same texture (which has many variations textures) and each of the 4 had a different textures variations in game (even on different custom geos). It would make sense if they change texture when I rotated them a different directions because it might be using the blocks permutations. But they don't. They stay that texture. Doesnt' make sense yet.
white bobcat
Sorry, what is your issue or/and question?
haughty compass
We couldn't get texture variations to work on custom geos. While doing something else it did work. I just don't understand how or why or how to control it.
white bobcat
What method you used or think you used?
haughty compass
Material_instance to terrain_texture to texture variations.
The only thing different in my custom blocks vs when it failed. Is I added the rotations cardinal directions and permutations
white bobcat
Material_instance to terrain_texture to texture variations.
That won’t work as it is using material instance
haughty compass
I made 4 custom blocks and got 4 different texture variations from 1 terrain texture. But I don't understand how it works.
It has to be something buggy with the permutations. But could allow me to setup multi textures if I can figure out the logic
white bobcat
haughty compass
That doesnt' explain how it's working on my custom geos when we couldn't get it to work before
white bobcat
If it is using material instances and the texture is getting randomized, that means that the texture variation is not comming from terrain texture

I duplicate this custom block 4 times, change identifier, geo shape. Then spawn in game and get 4 custom geos with 4 different textures
white bobcat
and it is placing random textures on the block
haughty compass
yes but the same one for each block. NOT random each placement. All blocks are the same. But each different custom block has a differnet texture
I though maybe it's using the permutatiosn but I assumed if it was changing the rotation ie.. the permutation would change the texture. But it doesn't. I guess since no event is firing maybe it doesnt' update.
haughty compass
I just made a wall strait, corner, roof... and each one had a different texture. Even thought all used the same texture.
white bobcat
ah, understood
haughty compass
I'd never develop this way but decause I'm making an entire house out of custom blocks I didn't do any texturing per block I assigned them all 1 default texture while I made the blocks. Which is the only reason I found this
white bobcat
Effectively, the texture is not randomized.

no using it out of terrian texture. unless it's already define in blocks. Which it's vanilla so should be.

Not 1 custom block placed many times
white bobcat

Each of the different blocks got a different texture.
I know
I made a house of 10 blocks used 1 terrain texture and got alot of different textures in game.

You can't really control the level of a sound comming from a block if it comes from blocks.json as far as I remember
haughty compass
Is coming from and going through the same things? I'm playing to audio by commands at a location. Crickets. Then I walk in side and its muffled. It works ok now. I was just thinking it would be cool to make a sound proof room and other stuff if there was an option for sound dampaning.

If you are running the sounds using commands you can define the level of it

Here is how I did it. Works pretty well. I think I can use this method on most blocks to make them "interactive" and it removes most the block limits. I could spawn a entity block for the animations then the block door on end of animations to get fancy. But this is a simple solution for stable without apis. The disadvantage is you need a item or a trigger. I'm using a key to open and sneak to close. https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1169058369508749332

No.. Use recipe make block....
If you have the slabs, you can make the block
prime smelt
That is a very cool block! How does it works?
Kai... I am deciding on if the recipe should have a glue sheet or not... Right now, it would be, cook a slime block to make a goo block, then stonecutter it to make a bunch of goo sheets, like 16 or 32 or 64 and those are what glue the slabs together... instead of straight 2 slabs can make a block... What do you think?
white bobcat
Kai... I am deciding on if the recipe should have a glue sheet or not... Right ...
Well, it all depends on how much sense you want it to make. If you want it to be more realistic, keep the glue sheet. If you want to keep it simpler, like Minecraft, then no glue sheet. I personally would have it without it
prime smelt
I will probably go with the glue sheet.. So you can't do it too early game... you would need a blast furnace for the slime book, a stonecutter to make the sheets. And of course a slime block, that is 9 slime balls. So you gotta work for it a little.
white bobcat
Sounds fair
prime smelt
Kinda bummed that I have to keep it HCF for the on_interact and on_player_placing. I need to keep track of the orientation, because I allow the player to turn it, to get it facing the way they want. Maybe I should make a non-exp version too, where you just have to use the correct block face to get it positioned correctly, no turning or tracking... It is a simple block... I need to work out the formulas for flame, destroy time, etc...

Read for neighboring blocks using the molang query and test for the water tag. Define a position (four positions should be defined, which are the cardinal directions) and one block below in Y. If true, do nothing, if false, destroy the block. Do this only for blocks with your custom state for growth in its default value, that way said logic is not applied to already grown blocks.
That should be easy enough compared to the block you are asking for right now

Wait so plantables don't use ageable like breedables? Why would you need randomness here? Sorry if dumb question, just trying to understand
winter elk
Wait so plantables don't use ageable like breedables? Why would you need randomn...
No, ageable stuff is used for entities because you can grow them and is an event specific to them. Blocks are not like entities in that way, instead the creator has to mimic the event in some way to represent growth. You can do it using a ticking event and various permutations, creating fake stages. So like after a specific or random amount of time, (depending on how your events are set up) a specific block state would be selected, possibly with a new material instances or geometry to represent growth.
As for randomness with bone meal, not every crop would need it, but if you wanted to make a block act like a sapling where bone meal doesn't necessarily cause growth everytime, then you could. Say for example, your sapling grows into a tree at block state 5 and the player bonemeals it at state 1. You could use a weighted sequence event to randomly select a higher state (2-5) if you like.
Here is an example that Provedule and I made that illustrates how a crop would be made, including the bonemealing part 😉
Are you asking about loot tables?
Oh, that might be a scripting thing, I don't know a way to change that through components or anything. I would possibly ask there
This might help @zinc wyvern
Yeah scripting is rough... I still don't get it 😅 I personally would skip that and work with specific loot tables and events, but that's just me
white bobcat
Nope
winter elk
So loot tables are what a block or entity drops upon death or destruction, but they can also be called using events in your block.
So let's say you want to get a carrot from your carrot block when a player taps on it while holding a hoe. You can do that using the loot component that drops a specific loot table that has a carrot in it.
The same can be done when a block is destroyed. You can even give a different amount of carrots depending on its growth state.
So what I meant was to find an alternative to pick clicking, unless you want the block to go to your hand like in creative mode. In which case, you would probably need to do something with scripting
winter elk
Gotcha, have you asked about pick blocking in scripting?

Why my block looks like this? Its a bush made of It’s 2 planes🤔

winter elk
Why my block looks like this? Its a bush made of It’s 2 planes🤔
Sometimes that happens with blocks like flowers and grass. Personally I would create an item that places your bush. That way the players will see the item texture instead of the block model.
The other thing you could do is rotate the blocks geometry model, let's say 90° and see if it changes it. If it does, then add rotation block states to your bush to set it's rotation correctly upon placing

Yeah the model might be a little difficult but it will be totally worth it 😊👍
Currently I am working on a sieve that has several textures, meshes, and states in which a block is pushed through but it will be cool once done. Here is an idea for you
"identifier": "geometry.sieve",
"bone_visibility": {
"block_0": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 1",
"block_1": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 2",
"block_2": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 3"
}```You can hide the candle using geometry and show it when a player interacts with one
You can also set a specific texture based on the candle like we talked about earlier
In the case of my sieve, the block being pushed is shown in 3 stages depending on its current block state or (push level)
You can create separate textures, shown here is just 2 separate textures. So for the cake with 16 candles, you could just make 16 textures and only change the candle color on each
It takes a little time but really not to bad
I know, the next best thing would be to add a separate material instances to a bone folder in your geometry file. The candle could then use the vanilla textures
I did a dev resource awhile back that explained how to do it but not sure how up to date it is 😅
#1074556326979575878 message
Here you go
Like I said though, some things may not be current but it should give you a good idea at least @zinc wyvern
Does what?
Like the texture being 8x8 instead of 16x16 @zinc wyvern ?
Oh I getcha... Hmm Probably the best thing would be to make each slice a different bone
Basically the folder is the bone, or what is hidden or show when using bone visibility in your geometry component.
"identifier": "geometry.sieve",
"bone_visibility": {
"block_0": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 1",
"block_1": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 2",
"block_2": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 3"
}```So here in my sieve example, if the block state "luna:stage" is set to 1 then the biggest block is shown. If it is 2, then the smaller block is shown and so forth. Basically you are toggling them on and off based on events
Yes
Yeah I believe so
"luna:block": [0,1,2],
"luna:stage": [0,1,2,3]
}```So here are my sieve states so far
Notice that I have 0 as an option for the stages but I don't use it in the geometry component right?
The textures will need to be edited to include the new parts
Yeah, I got lost a little too, sorry about that. So what are you wanting to know specifically
Are you talking about the air gap between it and the block below?
Oh
It's because that part of the cake is slightly lower in height
Yep
@zinc wyvern would you like to have a copy of my sieve file for reference with your block?
Looks right at first glance
"1.20.20" are you using this version of the block?
It's saying that you may not be allowed to use that query in your block geometry, the >= thing possibly
Did you set the block states in the description?
"minecraft:block": {
"description": {
"identifier": "luna:sieve",
"menu_category": {
"category": "items"
},
"states": {
"luna:block": [0,1,2],
"luna:stage": [0,1,2,3]
}
},```Your missing "states"
It's the old way, states are the new way, not properties for 1.20
Try looking here
Switch slice 7 to == 0 and see if it changes
I know it's okay, just giving ideas, let me take a few minutes and see if I can figure it out
Oh change block property to block state
In the geometry
"block_2": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 3"
Yeah like this
Yeah
Hmmm... Let me think
Does the block show up at all?
Remove the y, it's a typo block_statey
No problem, let me edit the one you sent me
What does this do? Maybe need to update old components
Okay, I will take a look
Remove each component then try
Those 3 components, I know we will add them back, just a test
This is the updated component list.
I know it and I agree with you about 1.18 things stopped working in that version.
Geometry was one thing that changed for example
Yeah, the error is saying that the version doesn't match the queries
Block state is 1.20
Properties are 1.18
Use 1.20 states
The components need to be changed too
These
I know, you are good in states now, your last errors here for for outdated components
Okay 👍
Still 1.20.20?
Yeah switch block property to block state
Yeah
Yep, just use the updated list I sent you
It's working now?
What's it doing
That's usually because there is a typo in the texture name
Nice! That's awesome
That's fantastic, sorry about the confusion but glad you got it
It's okay, you are learning
Take some time, you will improve and get it 😉
I am gonna go get something to eat but I will check back in a little bit
Friction component does that
Try removing it
Nice ☺️
Yep changed name, and no worries, I wanted to help 😁
My sieve.txt has an item drop event
You can also using normal ticking with specific values instead of random
Yep
You would just need to create a loot table to go with it
"on_tick": {
"event": "wiki:example_event",
"target": "self", // Optional - 'self' is default (targets block)
"condition": "q.block_state('wiki:boolean_state_example')" // Optional
}
}
This is the example on the wiki. Try removing the interval range and see what happens
It's based on tick speed if you are doing random ticking. Let's say your world is set to 1 then it will be really slow, where as 300 is really fast
What's your world tick speed?
That is strange, got an idea
"randomize": [
{
"weight": 1, // 1/4 chance
"set_block_state": {
"wiki:my_state": true
}
},
{
"weight": 3, // 3/4 chance
"trigger": {
"event": "wiki:my_entity_event",
"target": "other"
}
}
]
}
Yep, I would try that. It should slow things down a lot
Got to go, but chat later if you need help 😉
winter elk
"sequence": [
{
"condition": "q.block_state('luna:stage') == 0",
"decrement_stack": {}

@leah.plyn yes you got to use decrement_stack in an event like in my sieve@zinc wyvern
Lol no worries, are you familiar with wiki.bedrock.dev by chance?
You can learn all sorts of cool stuff there about coding in minecraft
winter elk
You could have an event trigger the execute command and check for multiple sides of the block at the same time and then run an event if successful.
I don't thinks so about combining but you can assign different bones a specific texture if you want using material instances, that link to dev resources talks about it
winter elk
The closest thing I can think of is to make your overall model and texture but make it to where both bones are hidden at first. Once the player interacts with the block with one part, it shows up. After interacting again, the whole bone shows up completing the texture @zinc wyvern
main pond
Is it intended behavior that custom block is rotated backward (SW-ish) in the inventory slot?
winter elk
I believe so
main pond
Hmm
Without ScriptAPI, can we make a conditional run command base on q.block_state?
different blockstate run differen command (trigger by the same event)
Or pass the q.block_state as arg in the run command
Nvm, I figure it out
winter elk
Good deal, I am glad you got it 👍
Otherwise, I would use a sequence event like this
"sequence": [
{
"condition": "q.block_state('luna:stage') != 3",
"play_sound": {
"sound": "block.composter.fill",
"target": "self"
}
},

"condition": "q.is_item_name_any('slot.weapon.mainhand', 'minecraft:dirt')",
"trigger": {

"condition": "q.is_item_name_any('slot.weapon.mainhand', 'minecraft:gravel')",
"trigger": {
"event": "luna:gravel",
"target": "self"
}
}
]
},```
Or trigger an event that runs the execute command to sort things outIs execute if block [cardinal_direction] with custom block broken?

You can combine some like "q.block_state('candle:color') == 1 && q.block_state('candle:placed') == 1"
I think that's how it goes anyway, you can try it out
Yeah

Sounds good 😊 You are learning quite a bit
Well you might try "!q.is_item_name_any()"
Multiple interactions link to a sequence event with conditions.
I believe so

True, but blocks like this can be very repetitive. If it makes you feel a little better, I am going to have well over 32 loot tables for my sieve when it's all said and done . I think it's kind of relaxing

Very true
white bobcat
Add 16 bones for the candles in the model, with a different material instance in blockblench. This way you are defining your texture and which bone to show with just material instance and geometry component
You should feel motivated to improve your code imo
If you'd like to get the same results in less lines, now you know how
winter elk
You have done a lot, and it's all part of the process. You are gonna have those moments but you are almost done and it will be cool and worth it 😉
As for what @white bobcat Said, there are always ways that you can simplify is what He is saying, try to find what works and work with that. If you can simplify great if not at the moment, perhaps later
You can undo it?
I got to head back, but just try different stuff and see what works and what doesn't, kaioga can help too or others. You got this
Oh, I think I see it! You have 2 light gray candles

Not at the same time but you can use permutations with block states to switch out the ticking component when needed
Or you can use random ticking and normal ticking at the same time I believe
red sky
Believe me when I say that's very short
red sky
You can't do a condition
winter elk
I would do it without neighbor block.
With your ticking sequence event, add a run command event that triggers an execute command to look for the water. If water is not found, then the execute command will destroy the block.
Probably be easier anyway

If you are using on use on inside a block, it won't work. That event is meant to be used inside an item's json instead of the block.

You use block components in blocks, item components in items, and entity components in entities. Confusing on that will result in errors

Execute command works well to to auto destroy torches
winter elk
/execute if block ~ ~1 ~ air run say air
You can use it in conjunction with an event to look for air if you want
white bobcat
Is the only workaround to test for air without scripting
winter elk
Yep
white bobcat
You can
in the same event, you can have more than one event key, run_command is just one of them
winter elk
So you could just run a condition sequence event that triggers another sequence event that fires both the command and decrement. If I understand what you are asking
You may have misunderstood what we were saying, let me make an example
white bobcat
Hey Leah, side note, please try to send your texts in a single message to avoid flooding the channel. Try to do this everytime is possible 😊
May I know exactly what you are trying to do?
Upon placement, test if there is air above with /execute if block, if true, do nothing, if false, destroy the block.
Elaborate
use my own example
So only do decrement stack if there is no air above?
It should be dropped at ground using my example, so you could pick it up again
winter elk
You may not like it, but it works 😕
white bobcat
Then you can combine what I told you with a setblock command to re-place the block with a block state in a specific value, use queued_ticking in the permutations of said block state to run the decreament stack key once.

Yes, what you said is true

How do I make it faster or slower
You can also change the interval rate at which the event will take place. For example 20 20 means that the event will trigger in 1 sec where as 100 200 would mean the event will trigger somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds

Wow, it's very difficult to understand, what do you mean?
20, 20 Is it 100 seconds?
I'm confused on the part where I make the tick slower or faster
Slower serious 10, 10 and faster 50,50?
desert vector
[20, 20] means it will be every 20 ticks
[20, 30] means it will take 20 to 30 ticks
to convert ticks into seconds do ticks ÷ 20
to convert seconds into ticks do seconds × 20
novel hedge
How it works to set the speed
desert vector
higher value = more time between event triggers

winter elk
"looping": true,
"interval_range": [20, 20],
"on_tick": {
"event": "wiki:example_event",
"target": "self"
}
}```
So here we see a basic set up for ticking.
Interval range is the time frame in which the component will trigger the event "wiki:example_event". In this case [20,20]. Time in Minecraft is based on ticks. And 20 ticks is equal to about 1 real life second. So this event will activate in a range of 1 to 1 real life second.I want a slow one every 10 minutes and a fast one every 10 seconds
winter elk
If it was [20,60] it would activate every 1-3 seconds
novel hedge
I need to know how to make it very fast and very slow
winter elk
Ah gotcha let me see
novel hedge
If it was [20,60] it would activate every 1-3 seconds
The bigger the slower
And that?
winter elk
[12000,12000] is every 10 minutes and [200,200] is 10 seconds

So your json file has several errors in it and some things to note. If you don't mind, I am actually going to recommend a different way to create blocks for you and then I am going to point out some errors. Have you heard of Block bench?
Yes in general it is bad, in both of our cases, we were pingable so not to bad 👍
@neon dome So I went ahead and changed your block to the updated 1.20.20 version and switched out some stuff for you. Hopefully it works now ☺️ If it doesn't, let me know and we can take a look at it again.
I mentioned block bench earlier as a good solution for you, especially if you are already using programs to make your blocks. Block bench is up to date and builds your block's json accurately, I use it too at times. Give it a shot
sacred fjord
The block group is a string that is outside of minecraft:creative_category, in addition the friction cannot be 0. Also try changing the version to 1.16.100.

I am gonna put it into my pack now and try it
So I did a test, and the code I sent you works fine, I just switched the geometry and texture to one of my blocks
If you are comfortable with it, can you send me your addon here so I can test it for you?@neon dome
That's very kind of you ☺️❤️
Probably right, either that or it's not define in the blocks.json or the manifest file is wrong in some way

}```In case I am not on, this is what it to look like if the pack was generated with block bench @zinc wyvern
In case there is an error there.
The manifest file tells Minecraft what version your pack is playing in and and additional imports that it will need. The main thing is the min_engine_version and in regard to the error, making sure that the metadata section looks like mine.
Other then that, maybe the geometry or blocks.json depending on what the block is doing
That works too 😁 I do that as well except changing it's uuid
Right 👍
Mine was block bench, the rest of the code is edited by hand. I am not a fan of code generators because they often mess things up
Sometimes they do lol 🤣
I think once you get a template to work with, the rest is easy
Yep, and once you create one type of block, as long as you keep it, you will have a nice reference to copy and adjust
I agree, something to consider would be to create a tutorial for a specific part of it in Dev Resources. That is if you would like to help others learn
I think you have improved a lot on your cake, you got it working great, and it now looks great 😃👍 So if you had something in mind, like for example, how to make your block emit particles, or something niche then that's what I am referring to.
For example I made one on menu category awhile back

You should be able to, but there are several ways to go about it. You can make use of bone visibility in your blocks geometry to hide the top part until it's interacted with. You can use events that lead to a run command event to setblock the top part as well. Really, however you like there are several ways that could work 👍
gritty gyro
You should be able to, but there are several ways to go about it. You can make ...
yeh, i definitely could see those solutions helping in different circumstances to mine. unfortunately for me, i need the block placement to behave exactly like it does when you place a block on a light block, a bugged structure void, and of course tallgrass.
winter elk
Can you give me an example of what you are looking to do specifically? I am not sure I am following you @gritty gyro
gritty gyro
i already have a solution to this which was semi similar to your bone visibility solution, but the issue is that my solution involved entities which isn't optimal
entity geometry is much more lenient while block geometry has much more limitations on the bounds
but all i'm wondering is after ive waited for 2 major updates if anything changed on the basis of block customization in the realm of placement collision and such
winter elk
Ah gotcha, so you want to overwrite the block with a different one...
Nah collision and placement is still pretty much the same unfortunately. At the present the only thing I can think of in terms of block usage is to add an interaction event to the block that you want to overwrite. When you hit the block with another, it will be replaced with air, leaving room for your new block to be placed.
Other then that, scripting may be a possibility, but I don't know anything about scripting. Still you can do a lot of crazy things with it so maybe I would ask over there to be sure 😊 @gritty gyro

gritty gyro
i was crossing my fingers that the liquid would be overplaceable
to add more context
winter elk
It wasn't?
gritty gyro
nope.
winter elk

I can see how your entity would work, but that's a lot to chain together
gritty gyro

gritty gyro
I can see how your entity would work, but that's a lot to chain together
surprisingly it’s not that complex, it’s really just moving the geometry 20 blocks down from the hit box to ensure the collision box won’t be in the way
winter elk
I am sure there is something, it may take a new creative approach to it, you never know. Still, I bet it can be done with scripting.

I've never heard of a 64 value limit, i thought the limit was meant to be:
- no more than 16 valid values for one state
- no more than 65536 possible combinations of state values
If you have 20 states with 2 values each, the block has 1048576 permutations which exceeds the limit of 65536

You are mentioning two different limits. While first one is true, second one isn’t
Let me explain you why. The 65536 limit is for the number of permutations in the world. In your provided example, you have 0 permutations, however it is important to note that you could indeed have 1048576 permutations (assuming you made the math right 😛)
white bobcat
Oh also, the 64 block states limit is because you can have a block with 64 working block states values (4*16) and if you exceed that, the added ones won’t work

according to [this message](#1067876948858118185 message) that's because you've hit the limit of a single block's permutations (65536) however, according to the ms docs, the limit is about amount of permutations existing in the world. Based on your bug report, it seems like the limit kayla described is what's actually measured, not the amount of permutations placed in the world.
I might create an issue on the github because the ms docs aren't very clear about this
white bobcat
according to [this message](https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1067...
But you actually didn’t because the error is not showing up. They simply don’t work, no errors are given in content log. The bug report I mentioned aims to fix the previously mentioned issue and the wrong logic of Mojang for this.
A limitation ought to be determined by its inherent attributes rather than speculative considerations. Receiving a content log error for 65536 permutations is nonsensical in a scenario devoid of permutations within any of the blocks.
Currently, the block checks how many possible permutations it can have based on the block states when it should simply check how many permutations the block has
raw minnow
By definition the permutations is all possible state combinations
desert vector
saying "possible" before permutations is redundant

they probably only used molang for the condition to make it easier to write, rather than something like this:

{ "state": "eg:dye", "operator": "!=", "value": "yellow" }
]
}

And based on the resolution we receive from that I’ll create the other bug report or not

Java's biggest block (redstone wire) has 16*3*3*3*3 = 1296 permutations, same system

raw minnow
How in the world I am allowed to have a block with 64 working states
How is this one?
By states, you must not mean properties, right?
white bobcat
How in the world I am allowed to have a block with 64 working states
Is the logic what has the issue, otherwise explain this
I mean a block with 4 block states with 16 values on each one
That works with no content log error and all states values can be read within permutations
If having a block with 4 block states and 16 values (which equals to 64 block states values in the same file) work, that means that 32 block states with 2 values each should also work
And that is the first issue, the one I am reporting
raw minnow
A block with say, 5 boolean values has these possible permutations:
00000 00001 00010 00011 00100 00101 00110 00111 01000 01001 01010 01011 01100 01101 01110 01111 10000 10001 10010 10011 10100 10101 10110 10111 11000 11001 11010 11011 11100 11101 11110 11111
A block with 6 boolean values has twice as many, 7 twice still, and so on
4 properties with 16 values is 65,536 combinations
32 properties with 2 values is 4,294,967,296 combinations
It may well be that you're allowed to have more combinations defined than exist in the world, but the second one definitely blows past even an additional limit
white bobcat
And I find that said logic should not work like that
I recently tried to make connectable blocks and experienced this issue… really frustrating
I simplified my block to the point of using no permutations and still got the issue
(Because with the logic, it has permutations)
desert vector
what do you mean by "no permutations"?
raw minnow
I don't know why you're just multiplying, it should be clear that
2 states with 3 values 00 01 02 10 11 12 20 21 22 is different from
3 states with 2 values 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111
white bobcat
No permutations field
desert vector
the permutations still exist, you just aren't doing anything with them
raw minnow
And the game still has to include that information when generating the network palette
If you don't need them, don't include them. If you do need them, they are going to bloat the palette
white bobcat
I hope they change it or at least, give us workarounds
white bobcat

Hopefully either the logic changes or we get workarounds to not have to depend that much on states
raw minnow
I'll vote for it
white bobcat
Thanks!
winter elk
@white bobcat I get what your saying, 4 states with 16 values works, but 32 booleans with 2 do not and that no doubt is frustrating. Still I can't seeing it being fixed in the way you are mentioning. The reason being is that you can technically do what you like with the block using the 4 and 16 values.
I guess the question is really, do you have to have 32 booleans states, when less states can achieve the same? I am just trying to understand why you want it changed in the way you are asking
white bobcat
<@715711421408608317> I get what your saying, 4 states with 16 values works, but...
Less block states will be able to achieve the same in most of cases, but there are some where they won’t, as you require certain data to be managed individually.
For example, when checking for neighboring blocks you want to be able to say “My block has a block in north and east, but not in west and south”. Doing that check within a single block state will make you unable to set that behavior, as it would only mark one of the blocks found, independently if it has more than one around or not.
winter elk
If you are testing just for the cardinal directions it can be done in one state, but if you are including the diagonals, then it would require two block state. Something like this is what I came up with. Is it closer to what you need? @white bobcat
//where as 0=none, 1=N, 2=S, 3=Both
“luna:blocks_ew”: [0,1,2,3]
//where as 0=none, 1=E, 2=W, 3=Both
“luna:blocks_ne_se”: [0,1,2,3]
//where as 0=none… ect
“luna:blocks_nw_sw”: [0,1,2,3]
//same idea
“luna:cardinal_blocks”: {
“values”: { “min”: 0, “max”: 13 }
}
// Values 0-13 represent each cardinal block present ( n,s,e,w,ne,se,nw,sw,new,sew,ens,wns,none,all)
The same can be done with the diagonals```So 4 states vs 2 states cardinal + diagonal which is not shown
Seems easier to keep up with then 32 states
white bobcat
If you are testing just for the cardinal directions it can be done in one state,...
That would still preserve the issue I mentioned
winter elk
About the booleans?
white bobcat
I tried all ways that appeared in my head to simplify the block I am working with the most... still had to use the booleans
white bobcat
About the booleans?
Still require to check data individually, so I still need the use of boolean block states
winter elk
How many placements are you checking for?
white bobcat
First of all, can't replace the cardinal checks with block straits; the block is an always check, not a check-on-place
I put em all in a single block state of 5 values and made my test as the following:
"kai:direction": "q.block_neighbor_has_any_tag(0, 0, -1, 'connected_glass') ? 'north' : (q.block_neighbor_has_any_tag(0, 0, 1, 'connected_glass') ? 'south' : (q.block_neighbor_has_any_tag(1, 0, 0, 'connected_glass') ? 'east' : (q.block_neighbor_has_any_tag(-1, 0, 0, 'connected_glass') ? 'west' : 'none')))"
Could you use the execute command with ticking to constantly check for your blocks?
white bobcat
No, that would reset my block
winter elk

This has all cardinal checks in a single block state. Not usable for my needs
winter elk
So put simply, what exactly are you needing? I may not be following you
white bobcat
Basically a block that checks for all these combined positions

I pretty much need 18 booleans block states
winter elk

“luna:ns_plane_corners”: {
“values”: { “min”: 0, “max”: 13 }
}
//tests for each corner shape on the NS axis, similar to testing for the cardinal directions, except with shapes instead. Each value would only be set if 3 blocks are present in each corner.
“luna:ew_plane_corners”: {
“values”: { “min”: 0, “max”: 13 }
}
//Do the same for the EW axis```
So it relies heavily on conditional molang and is tedious, but I believe that these states will be enough to do what you like as long as you are careful when writing up the conditions, what do you think?
@white bobcatThe planes are vertical as well, I didn't know if you needed the horizontal ones, but if you do then you will need to add one more corner plane representing the flat plane
If so, there would be 5 state checks
“values”: { “min”: 0, “max”: 13 }
}```All in all though, I see what you mean though about booleans. With this many values, I would prefer to be able to use 26 booleans to check for each block in a 3x3 cube versus 46 values 😅
It would also simplify things a lot because you wouldn't have a lengthy molang condition that tests for several blocks, but rather tests for one specific one

Off the top of my head, you are running a sequence event instead of a normal single event. Maybe switch that and see, you could also try setting the target if the event to self
You can also try ```"wiki:generate_stone_above": {
"set_block_at_pos": {
"block_type": "minecraft:stone",
"block_offset": [0, 1, 0]
}
}
You can also put the interact condition on the interact component as well

I understand what you are doing, but once again, this type of data cannot be evaluated in a single state because the block should be able to, for example, have a block to the north but no block to the south. If all the data is being processed in a single block state, the and logic will be replaced by an or.
Not sure if I am explaining myself with this
winter elk
Yeah, single state logic for your block is impossible as long as you are tied to 16 values per state.
white bobcat
Exactly, and cases like this is why we need more than 16 working boolean states

you can use an alpha_test render method in material instances and apply the texture in blocks.json (https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/custom-glass-blocks.html#basic-glass) however the block won't be breathable

material instance without unit cube results in update block

not if you define a texture in blocks.json

You can use execute if block or give your block a tag based on the block state (property) it has in order to be able to check for it with q.block_neighbour_has_any_tag.

Hey, how does the "permutations" limit actually works?
I think this has been answered, but checking in to see if there's still confusion. Regardless, we can probably do better on our docs and warnings to communicate this stuff.
white bobcat
I think this has been answered, but checking in to see if there's still confusio...
Yeah it was answered. However, I don't think the way they work is the best. Have you check my bug report? I recommend you checking it MCPE-177045
wooden whale
yeah I've seen that bug. It's as designed, since 20 boolean states would exceed the permutations maximum.
white bobcat
That logic should either be reworked, or give users some workarounds to not make many things states-dependent
wooden whale
currently that's the limitation we have. we always look at ways to improve things but, as it stands, this is as-designed.
white bobcat
Why doesn't bone_visibility accepts more molang queries?
That is a way to improve, for example, instead of using block states and q.block_neighbour_has_any_tag, we could directly check them there... no need for block states.
I understand that it is not common to face an issue with this limit, but there are cases. Something like that would have helped me in the case I faced this limitation.
wooden whale
pretty sure we did add molang support for bone_visibility back in. or are you asking for more Molang support?
white bobcat
Im asking for more, yes. Currently it only accepts query.block_state
That limits bone_visibility's access to molang to block states, as is the only data that can be read within said field
wooden whale
What are you specifically trying to do?
white bobcat
I am trying to make a block that changes the way it looks with bone_visibility based on the neighboring blocks. I have to read for all this data, colors and/or materials are like that as they have to be combined to be true.
Required of that to make https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1176959922408259664

Understood. Well, I still suggest this

understood. though overloading bone_visibility with more molang support is unlikely to bubble up in our priority list.
white bobcat
Good to know! Can't way to see that block trait and all the team has planned for block traits in the future
red sky
The current block traits are all rotation based. It's all what we could do before but still very useful since your not using on_player_placing
I imagine "connected" block trait to be like...
white bobcat
I do too, it'll be very interesting to use for sure
red sky
{
"traits": {
"minecraft:connected": {
"enabled_blocks": ["minecraft:cobblestone"]
}
}
}
Wild Guess
Then the permutation can be like...
white bobcat
I guess all cardinal directions
red sky
{
"condition": "query.block_state('minecraft:connected') == 'up'",
"components": {
"stuff_here"
}
}
With how the current block traits are I don't see a way to test for block states
white bobcat
Something like that would definetly fix my problem with glass
Un-related but related question. Let's say I have two cubes in a geometry. Both of them are 16x16x16. Anyway we can decide which one will overwrite the other?

As in what texture will be shown based on the render methods and the texture itself
Let me make a visual of what I mean
red sky
ok

um
white bobcat
one cube has the glass texture and the other has that blue bb texture

Only way to accomplish that is with two cubes
white bobcat

prime smelt
I was working in this with Kaioga, my version is pictured and I ran up against the same wall. Because only 16 of my 18 states work. From the picture, the tall wall is perfect, the one laying down, I cannot turn off those bones. If bone_visibility accepted q.block_neighbour_has_any_tag, as it should because it is molang, then our blocks, which btw, have no permutations in them, would not need the states at all, as Kaioga said. So it is not more molang that is needed, just everything related to a block. And there is nothing about block traits that can reproduce the blocks in the picture. @wooden whale
I am thinking a look-up table is built with every possible combination within a file and permutations are matched to it, so would be faster... So I can see the need for a limitation, as the lookup table and indexing can get out of hand.... but a file with no permutations section at all... maybe if it were possible to not include them in the lookup count. I still think the number of permutations that are actually in the file should just be counted and made into the lookup, after all, we cannot dynamically add permutations to a file. It is static and will never change.

kaioga, im very intrigued by how you assign the states in bone_visi and how to set the block state, im really dumb at it
white bobcat
To assing a state in bone_visibility you have to use q.block_state in the bone you want to apply it, for example:
"your_bone": "q.block_state('namespace:yourstate') == 0"

There is no code for it available to us. However if you want to recreate it, then you might make a block that summons the book as an entity. The entity will always look at the player and run an animation. Once the block is removed, so is the entity

I don't have any experience with this so I don't understand what you mean
white bobcat
Block geometries have a limit of 30x30x30, that means they can't be bigger than that. Your geometry does not seems to go beyond that limit, but with your transformation component you are trying to scale it to values that will make it go beyond that, which will result in error. I have not received the error you are showing, but im pretty sure it is reffering to what im saying you.

Block geometries have a limit of 30x30x30, that means they can't be bigger than ...
So I have to make the geometry height 16 x 16 x 16 and then do the mass transformation, right?

The same logic will apply. If you want to make a block bigger than 30x30x30 you simply can't
You'll have to use more than one block in order to get the same results
