Does anyone know if it is possible to fix the rotation of wood without using geometries?

Is there any simple way for making a custom block unpushable pistons, like setting some property/component? Or do I have to use scripting events?

Well good to know then

west ledge
#

Oh, let me see.

minor sluice
#

The event is here, but its only an after event. So you can't cancel it like you would with a before.

west ledge
#

Yeah, no before event. Gotta do something fucky.

It should just be a tag…

yeah

Is it minecraft:geometry.full_cube or minecraft:geometry.full_block?

The update page says full_cube but the generated docs say full_block

How do I get a custom sapling that can grow into a tree?

ripe loom
# royal socket How do I get a custom sapling that can grow into a tree?

I'm doing that the old way with on_interact component with bone meal to trigger an event. Then into the event I randomize 3 different commands to load randomly 3 different structures that contains my custom trees. As block events will be deprecated you would need to find a way to do the same with scripting

vestal marsh
#

I recommend using playerInteractWithBlock or wait for custom components

What do I even use for coding?

Is there any way to make the border block invisible? Or with the same behavior as the barrier (visible when placing the item in your hand)?

sacred fjord
#

Use this in blocks.json:

"border_block": {
  "blockshape": "invisible",
  "sound": "stone",
  "textures": "border_block"
}

Hi.

zealous coyote
#

Can you make custom item groups in behavior packs?

white bobcat
#

No

nova wolf
zealous coyote
#

Ohhh, okay

white bobcat
#

Yeah, you can’t make categories with just a BP

zealous coyote
#

So, what's causing this to not work? Textures are in the blocks/textures folder, and this is in the blocks json in the root of the resource pack

#

Is format_version 1,1,0 acceptable within blocks? thonk
You should set this to the latest 98% of the time 😄

zealous coyote
#

That being? Because 1,1,0 was the version on the wiki

somber cosmos
#

1.20.70

#

oh wait I understand that's your format version in blocks.json not your block

zealous coyote
#

Yeah

#

That's why I don't know what's wrong with it

sacred fjord
#

It works well for me without format version, I don't think this is accepted anymore

Under Minecraft:material_instances

nova wolf
# tame shale Pretty sure textures on custom blocks are set in the block behavior file, not bl...

they can be. but you can also define all of your textures in the blocks.json file as a central area to define it

{
    "format_version": [
        1,
        1,
        0
    ],
    /*"block:name": {
        "sound": "<sound>",

                ||
        < "textures": {
            "up": "terrain_texture",
            "down": "terrain_texture",
            "east": "terrain_texture",
            "north": "terrain_texture",
            "south": "terrain_texture",
            "west": "terrain_texture" >

    "dma:stone_sixteenth": {
        "sound": "stone",
        "textures": {
            "up": "stone",
            "down": "sand",
            "east": "brick",
            "north": "birch_leaves",
            "south": "spruce_planks",
            "west": "diamond_block"
        }
    }
}```
#

you can define sound there, and a few other stuff also

versed brook
#

It is possible to add a texture pack for a block that 16x16 for each side??

unkempt creek
#

Huh? Of course, that's literally just a normal block.

tame shale
nova wolf
tame shale
#

current custom blocks ignores block.json when it comes to textures

vestal marsh
#

No, custom blocks is encouraged to use material_instances not blocks.json unfortunately

tame shale
#

this is why we can't have carried textures for custom blocks

vestal marsh
#

Hopefully Mojang will revisit this once HCF is gone to be similar to MC Legends where each block's texture is defined in its own json file not an overall blocks.json file

tame shale
#

I feel like this is where they are headed. I think they will implement everything blocks.json can do for a block into the blocks behavior file. One stop shop

vestal marsh
#

Im conflicted honestly 😂 one one hand i LOVE a one stop shop

#

On the other hand I hate how client stuff is defined in server file. @west ledge also hates this too iirc

tame shale
#

I just want carried textures

#

I hate making a whole new item just to make it a block placer

#

when a single line of code could do the same thing by allowing carried textures on custom blocks

#

maybe 2 lines of code 😆

nova wolf
#

I use blocks.json a lot and it my custom blocks doesn't ignore it

#

must be a naming issue if it's ignoring it for you

tame shale
#

What format version are your blocks in?

vestal marsh
#

There's really no reason to use blocks.json currently

nova wolf
#

literally only reason

nova wolf
tame shale
#

🤔 I guess if it works for you, great. Last time I tried, it didn't do anything. Best to use Material_instances anyway, so that your blocks are future proofed.

kind finch
#

How do I fix this? When trying to set a block state it autofills to that but says its wrong. Whats the proper way?

                "sequence": [
                    {
                        "run_command": {

                        }
                    },
                    {
                        "run_command": {

Got some new block components today in the preview

Blocks
Added ‘minecraft:entity_fall_on’ block component behind the Beta API experiment
Added ‘minecraft:tick’ block component behind the Beta API experiment```
#

wonder how minecraft:tick will be used

vestal marsh
#

They're the replacements for the HCF events. Those two are required for the custom components to work #1220035290723254273 message

Seems to be a UV error or something. Applied to all my blocks that I think used unit_cube

does anyone have a clue what does this mean?

block events

vestal marsh
#

There are no more block events

#

Everything will be done via scripting

trail scroll
#

what are the performance difference between the two

#

through scripting vs json events

vestal marsh
#

🤷 Barely

#

Random ticking and queued ticking are quite performant

trail scroll
#

dammit why do they have to make everything hard

#

when everything's working as it is

vestal marsh

Wasn't up to their standards and besides, scripting is much more powerful

what do i use to make the data part of a give command change a component in a block

#

i already know about the states and permutation stuff, i just dont what what to do in those

like, when you do /give, theres a data part after the count

white bobcat

Is there a way to get all tags in all blocks?

desert sorrel
white bobcat
#

The rotation made with bone_visibility?

#

You'll have each frame of the animation in the geometry, and activate it accordingly

desert sorrel
#

I have the geometry already but I don't how to make it a sequence. From 0 60 cause the states are only 16

white bobcat
desert sorrel
#

Blocks have a limit of 16 valid values per state that cannot be exceed. This guide will explain how to avoid reaching the limit.

TIP

This tutorial does not show you how to have more than 16 states values, however using this method will simulate that!

white bobcat
#

Yeah, I wrote that page

desert sorrel
#

How many part visibility does it havr

white bobcat
#

Also, your block itself can store up to 64 state values, but only 16 state values per state

white bobcat
white bobcat
#

I will answer you in your post

tall tinsel
#

Stupid general question: is it possible to create custom blocks with custom data attached (like inventories)?

vestal marsh
tall tinsel
#

Sadface

#

My blocks requires too many permutations

#

So not possible

vestal marsh
#

What are you trying to make?

tall tinsel
#

I am the maintainer of chisels and bits on java

#

And some body asked if I could port at least a reduced version to bedrock

#

So I have been researching ways to store the material information for each bit position in the block

#

But without the ability to store the bit positions material outside of the blockstate I don't see a way to do this

#

I could use entities

#

But that would potentially be heavy on Performance

#

So ...

#

Not really an option either I think

#

Any suggestions if it is even possible?

vestal marsh
#

Not really, you might need to wait for dynamic block properties or better block support to store data

tall tinsel
#

Okey thanks!

distant zenith
#

how do you make custom workbenches?

desert vector
# distant zenith how do you make custom workbenches?

add the crafting table component to your block, for example this would make the block act like a vanilla crafting table:

"components": {
  "minecraft:crafting_table": {
    "table_name": "container.crafting", // Shows in the UI above the crafting grid, translated
    "crafting_tags": ["crafting_table"] // Referenced by "tags" field in recipe files
  }
}

Not sure what you are trying, but you should do q.block_neighbor_has_any_tag

I guess I can't even use a constant ticking component, there's no way to tell how much water is left in a flow to know when the block needs to break

(I mean the rotatable two blocks thing not functionality)

primal roost
#

using facing rotation and with scripts detect if theres another air block to put the second one

BTW I am trying to place another block on top of it
And based on it's direction the other block's direction will be the same

How To Ask Good Questions

Be specific and include relevant details about the question upfront.

  • What are you trying to accomplish?
  • If you have code, which part is not working? Any content logs?
  • What have you already tried?
  • Have you searched the Bedrock Wiki?

Oh I get it

leaden valley
# leaden valley
  1. I am trying to place a block on top of a block but based on the first block's direction
  2. The placing part, the second block doesn't get placed
  3. I have tried setting the block with the command which is
    json fill ~ ~1 ~ ~ ~1 ~ pvz:lawn_grass_dark["block:rotation"=2] replace air
  4. Yes

Escaping Characters

In json, a string is created: \"like this\". As you can notice, the \" character is used to show the beginning and the end of the string.

If you want to write a string that includes quotes, you need to "escape" it, by using backslashes: \"a json \\\"string\\\" with quotes\". In Minecraft, the backslash character will disappear before being outputted.

Examples:

\"/execute @e[type=item,name=\\\"Rotten Flesh\\\"] ~~~ give @p stonebrick 1 0\"
\"/tellraw @a {\\\"rawtext\\\":[{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Hello World!\\\"}]}\"

how are custom blocks ordered in the creative inventory?

vestal marsh
true rover
#

file name? or identifier? both didn't work?

vestal marsh
#

Then who knows lol. That's a bit annoying, last i checked it was id based

true rover
#

it's giving me a different order every time i try something different 🤔

desert sorrel
# leaden valley

Because you need to put "" like
setblock ~~~ crafting_table[\"<state>\"=<value>]

How do I make the block act like signs.

#

When the block behind or below it are broken or air it will destroy itself

#

So with the new HCF removal, what is an alternative to block states?

#

Because my block changes texture and executes commands upon different states.

desert vector
#

Block states and permutations aren't getting removed, they've been out of HCF for a while. For the command execution, you can make it so that custom components are only applied on certain permutations of your block.

raw folio
#

Because my block works similarly to that of a sniffer/turtle egg.

Using custom components

atomic marsh
#

Still yet to use custom components...

white bobcat
white bobcat
raw folio
#

Sure, I'm getting something done right now and it seems to have no errors so far, but at the same time, I was wondering how I could...

#

Ya know what, nevermind.

#

I think I know how to do it.

atomic marsh
#

From what I'm reading, it just provides a custom component class that allows you to listen to all the custom component events depending on it's type and you're able to add you're own behaviors for the specific object that triggered that event.

white bobcat
#

Sort of yeah

#

I mean y’all can check my templates, I made sure to explain literally line by line

raw folio
#

Alright, so another question. How do I set the onRandomTick interval ranges? Because I want my egg blocks to take a while to hatch.

#

Sorry, I meant BlockComponentRandomTickEvent.

atomic marsh
#

Not sure about the event listening methods being a non .subscribe and .unsubscribe bigthonk

raw folio
#

Oh wait...

#

That was stupid...

#

Wrong event.

#

No, wait. Yep.

#

BlockComponentTickEvent doesn't have it either.

#

So, how do I set the tick interval ranges?

# vestal marsh Air tag does not exist

Yeah I know I just put that there. Looks like I need to use scripts on that then. But I don't want to cause I'm on 1.20.73 ( I forgot ) and it's doesn't have custom components so yeah, I don't want to edit my blocks again until 1.20.80 is released

You can't place any block on air

how can i add multiple texture files to material_instances

vestal marsh

so my block has two parts, body and Snammer, both using different texture files

so i have to add two texture files in material_instances right?

#

anyone give me some help here?, ive successfully gotten one block into the game, i come back a few hours later after messing with sounds and crafting recipies and the likes and then use the template to add another block, after that i go into blocks.json and add the same object im using to define what textures go on what sides (see first image) and copy over some parameters to the block definition .json (see second image) and it doesnt show up anywhere and i cant give it to myself,

i dont really know how bedrock calculates that but the standard block template doesnt seem to have a defenition for that?

#

so question, can we make a custom block bouncy?

#

or sticky?

#

for the bouncy part, i was thinking of reading the vertical speed of the player when falling on the blocks, multiply it by -0.5 and give it back to the entity. is there a better way?

vestal marsh
true rover
#

what's about making it sticky?

vestal marsh
vestal marsh
true rover
#

well, we can detect location

#

you know that honey and soulsand require the entity to be at the same location as the block to stick to them?

true rover
vivid phoenix
#

Whats more beneficial

Texture change with multiple bone but one image file
or
Texture change with multiple image file but less model bone

#

I think i personally prefer multibone one image file, so it work like the painting image file

vestal marsh
vivid phoenix
#

Nothing really, just asking randomly

#

Like people preference

#

I find having multiple images quite spammy on my phone gallery 🥲

#

So i just do it on one canvas

#

true

#

Ill probably do that if i had the chance to have a laptop 😔

#

Hmm

Its kinda funny that when u look at the threats here... most of them are just "u can use costum components "

Do I need to use typescript to use the new BlockCustomComponent? 🤔
I never worked with typescript, and the mojang example of implementing classes says it:
(obs: using JavaScript)

image.png
sterile eagle
desert vector
#

assuming you have the npm type definitions installed, you can use JSDoc comments to keep autocompletions that typescript would provide

/** @type {import("@minecraft/server").BlockCustomComponent} */
const MyCustomComponent = {
  onStepOn(e) {
    e.block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve("dirt"))
  }
}
dreamy zephyr
#

Ohh, so I don't even need to do this comment to get it working?
I'll keep it anyway. Thank you, guys

Make sure you are used the updated pack and not a cached one

#

i know that everything else updates just fine

#

ohh yeah i see the error now

#

material_instances on the docs didn't explicitly say that it's required to get directions

#

It is not required, you can just use wildcard

#

What do you have so far?

gilded mortar
#

Wdym

vestal marsh
#

Your code, your material_instances code

gilded mortar
#

Ahhh, i have a custom geometry using vanilla textures, i'm using silver glass, planks and coral

#

The planks and the coral things are using opaque rm

#

And glass is set to blend

#

When i place the block it looks okay, but if i place it in other part of world the glass become invisible

#

I don't have the code rn but i can send it as soon as i get home

white bobcat
#

To do what you asked, your material instance component would look like:

"minecraft:material_instances": {
                "bone_1": {
                    "texture": "texture",
                    "render_method": "double_sided"
                },
                                "bone_2": {
                    "texture": "texture",
                    "render_method": "opaque"
                }
            }
white bobcat
gilded mortar
#

Yes, something like that

gilded mortar
#

Just a question

#

Does uv thing affect the rm?

white bobcat
#

They are related, so yes. The render method used to render a geometry will affect the geo, so it affects the UVs.

#

Was your block the fish tank-like block? If so, I don't think you'll need any more render methods other than alpha_test

gilded mortar
#

Nope, it is a bottle, but as im using silver glass alpha test do not work since it makes everything transparent instead of having different opacitys

gilded mortar
#

i already made the post with my code

so confusing question. i made a custom mycelium that spreads to dirt through the replace block command and i was wondering if i can specify grass as itself now instead of it being part of the dirt family?

desert sorrel
brittle heath
#

how do I use the "minecraft:queued_ticking" the wiki's way of doing it doesn't seem to work and the Microsoft docs isn't descriptive enough?

ebon laurel
#

Queued_ticking is being removed soon and requires an experimental toggle to work. I'd recommend waiting for the custom ticking component to release instead (it's the replacement and uses the script API). Here's some examples for those: #1221643160413929523 message

shrewd storm
#

Yeah I'm confused on how they work. Do I have to script each individual block like that or just put the on_random_tick in the json like other components?

#

So far the blocks I'm worried about still work and dont use events to funtion

shrewd storm
#

Can we put more than one loot table for a block. For some reason I can't get a custom block to drop itself with more blocks able to be dropped by it in certain conditions. Like dirt and grass. I'm trying to get it to drop my custom dirt without the silk touch but either it gives me both or only the custom grass

vestal marsh
shrewd storm
#

So it's not possible to mimic vanilla grass drop wise?

vestal marsh
shrewd storm
#

Ahhh. I have no clue how to do that lmao. Just got comfortable with js

shrewd storm
#

With each corresponding condition sorry

#

Now it'd damn near vanilla the spreading is a bit jank cuz idk how to randomize the replace fill command it uses to replace the dirt version

#

Not sure if that's going to depreciate but if it does I guess I'm learning to script

how do I slow down a event to prevent crashing?

Hi, i'm having trouble with the colored_terracotta facing direction.
I try to cancel and remove this auto rotate.
I've tryied multiple test without success 😦
Is it hardcoded ? Or is there a way to lock the rotation?

Is there a way, in the current 1.20.80 stable, to run a command/script on block place? It doesn't seem to be happy with me having components > minecraft:on_placed.

vestal marsh
#

You can use custom components

#

But that's experimental

#

On second thought, I believe playerPlaceBlock in scriptAPI is stable as well

#

Oh interesting. It's accessible now. Unfortunately I'd prefer it for more of a general place than just player.

#

Thanks. 😄

Are custom block sounds a thing?

I just want to add a custom break and step on sound for my custom block?

vestal marsh
quaint lion
#

That sucks...

#

Really hurts my polish on the block, I was doing ehhh. If custom scripting components were out of exp. I could probably get away with an unpreformant way for doing custom sounds but still not the best.

vestal marsh
quaint lion
#

It wouldn't be polished to include just 1 sound without all the rest.

#
  • Stepping on, off, etc.
quaint lion
#

Without majorly hurting performance

white bobcat
#

Is not possible as for now, sadly.

quaint lion
#

Its possible but scripting methods are jank and hard core not performant for this sort of thing in stable. You have to check the block under the player and implement cooldown system.

#

etc.

#

just eh.

white bobcat
#

Yeah that's why I said is not possible, as you want to not hurt performance

quaint lion
#

Yeah, just wish I wasn't stuck waiting.

#

For the features, I need to be stable.

#

Thank you anyway for the pointers, atleast I'm not crazy and now know its not possible.

How do I make block cannot be placed in water?

rugged galleon

uhh... my block does not show up... this is my very first time puting up the first custom block but it´s so many steps I get lost - if a blessed soul could fix it for me, I will then follow up making others with that fix and so I can have lots of custom blocks from then on

#

fixed the naming, but still nothing, if you could look into the zip to see where the mistake is.. I´d really appreciate!

image.png
desert vector
#

what's the issue?

rugged galleon
#

the custom block isn´t showing its texture only magenta black squares

desert vector
#

this should be the same name as what's in your blocks.json "textures": "azulejo_diagonal_branco"

image.png
rugged galleon
#

which json file was that?

desert vector
#

terrain_texture.json

rugged galleon
#

one question, do I really need the lang file or I can live without it?

#

thank you so much it worked 😍

image.png
desert vector
#

if you don't want to translate the names into different languages you could use the "minecraft:display_name" component instead of a lang file
(this is your behaviour pack block file with it)

{
  "format_version": "1.20.60",
  "minecraft:block": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "vvelha:azulejo_diagonal_branco",
      "menu_category": {
        "category": "construction", // The creative inventory or recipe book tab that the block is placed into
        "group": "itemGroup.name.concrete", // The expandable group that the block is a part of. (Optional)
        "is_hidden_in_commands": false // Is the block hidden from use in commands? (Optional)
      }
    },
    "components": {
      "minecraft:display_name": "Azulejo Diagonal Branco"
    }
  }
}
rugged galleon
#

if I add a new custom block to go along with this first one, all I gotta do is add it to both terrain and blocks.json correct?

desert vector
#

you'll also need a behaviour pack file like the one above

rugged galleon
#

ok I´ll take a look here

#

see I´ll only use English punctuation so no funny symbols in the words, so that´s why I have this basic behavior text file
´´´{
"format_version": "1.20.60",
"minecraft:block": {
"description": {
"identifier": "vvelha:azulejo_diagonal_branco",
"menu_category": {
"category": "construction", // The creative inventory or recipe book tab that the block is placed into
"group": "itemGroup.name.concrete", // The expandable group that the block is a part of. (Optional)
"is_hidden_in_commands": false // Is the block hidden from use in commands? (Optional)
}
},
"components": {} // Must be here, even if empty!
}
}´´´

#

so then the answer is I have to put it in 3 places:
1- terrain_texture.json (RP)
2-blocks.json (RP)
3-custom_blocks.json (BP)

desert vector
#

yes, you'll need a separate BP file for each block in the blocks folder, you could have one at BP/blocks/azulejo_diagonal_branco.json for example

rugged galleon
#

I get it now - I will rename this one with the custom block name then add more with the new names of new blocks.. got it 🙂 - TY

oh ok I figured it out thanks 🙂

rugged galleon

so a friend of mine told me that he thinks Bedrock only accepts power of 2 texture.
1- Is that true? because I have a 16x41 plant texture which I plan to add in.
2- Also is it true we can (besides the obvious Box UV) use per face textures as well?
I ask because I am in the process of mass blocks and models migration into Bedrock from my java mod, so I´ll be using Blockbench to save hundreds of models into bedrock geometry

Just put into a 5 line note how to make custom geo bedrock blocks:


1- put all the 3D bedrock geometry geo models inside the resource pack´s \models\blocks folder
2- individual blocks behavior jsons must be made with their components (BP folder)
3- add block info into terrain_texture.json (RP folder) to tell where texture is
4- add block info into blocks.json (RP folder) to define the blocks textures details and sound
5- add block info into en_US.lang (RP folder/texts) so block names appear in inventory```

Hey I’ve got a few questions. First, can I just use the default text app on windows to edit the code for my blocks or should I use a software? If so what one should I use? Also I was wondering how to make a door open and close? I know how to make the two models for opened and closed but I’m unsure on how to code it to open and make a noise whilst opening it. Barely any info online about doors.

I don’t really know much about coding just modelling and texturing

Smokey, (I´ve spoken to several other people, 2 have tried to help) maybe you are my only hope! I have tried several model edits to one of my models and it still shows up invisible in-game and if I place it down it makes all other custom models become invisible. If I brake it, then they return visible. My model is 30px wide (at the limit) so it should not have been a problem. Registratiosn asfaik are all ok. The name appears in the inventory.
Any guess? here is the model json

Any content logs?

rugged galleon
#

oh yeah let me get the picture

#

Your geoemtry is out of bounds is what it's saying

rugged galleon
#

#

Try it and see

rugged galleon
vestal marsh
#

Have you tried making it smaller to test

rugged galleon
#

yeah even to 16 But at that time it might have been below, like you pointed.. I will try shortening it One pixel (29) to see if it works, well let´s go with 28px and see

rugged galleon
#

also I have even deleted all the UV faces except the up face which is the displayed one here - this simple, yet troublesome model has been stubborn like this since yesterday

vestal marsh
rugged galleon
#

I tried 1px and even 2px on the Y thickness but still problem remains But at your word and I can try again

vestal marsh
#

Funny enough I'm also running to the same error in my geo

rugged galleon
#

ok I thickened it to 1 pixel, but can I make it positioned close to the floor at 0.09? because the hopscotch drawing should be very near to ground.. is that ok you think? otherwise the hopscotch drawing it will be too elevated from the floor - we all know a hopscotch you draw on the floor with a chalk

image.png
#

I´ll try this and let you know!

#

same thing

vestal marsh
#

I found the issue for me, it isn't the size, rather the position

#

can't have decimals

rugged galleon
#

so the position can be at 0 then, right? is zero fair?

vestal marsh
#

Should be

rugged galleon
#

99% of the problem is gone as there is no error in the content log regarding the actual amarelinha1 model now, but its texture still does not show up like you can see in the picture above! its render method is alpha_test. Any guess? that is the UP face in Blockbench

#

could it be these negative numbers? but then if they become positive... the number on the hop won´t be in the correct facing

image.png
vestal marsh
#

Only other issue I know is that you're not properly defining your textures

rugged galleon
#

because all other models of mine show up fine

#

this is in the BP

image.png
#

this here as you can see by notepad does not color it green for having numbers after the name, but someone said it´s not a breaker

image.png
#

maybe the problem is here? someone told me that here is the texture name... but I guess it may be the model name Then the textue name below it... if this is the problem then we have found the current issue

image.png
#

as where it is written amarelinha it may be amarelinha1 then the amarelinha.png which is its texture

#

this is how my common sense is telling me how it is supposed to be - I´ll try and see how it goes

Smokey, the final fix was resorting to a power of 2 texture! that made the texture appear! so this means Bedrock only supports power of 2 textures then - but I guess I remember you might have said that is not the case...

vestal marsh
#

Noice

rugged galleon
#

I have a model which texture size is 8x32 which works - so then it may mean that Bedrock does support non power of 2 but the texture must be divisible by 2 like 8x32 is ok 8x16 or 64x128 - those kinds

unkempt creek
#

You still need to create a power of 2 texture, but you will not just fill it up. For example if your block is 8x38, create a 32x32 textures but you wil only use 8x32 in it.

Also, learn how UV works so you can customize more the texturing.

rugged galleon
#

why are some parts in the texture dark? I couldn´t figure out.. the texture is the same

image.png
#

I just figured out that it is because those faces are the down faces and the up faces are lighter. But please, why? how can I disable this... omg! shading is to be done in game not on blockbench

unkempt creek
#

Disable the shading in blockbench, it has a sun icon. I can't see that in your screenshot, just find it.

rugged galleon
#

now, my stuff (in-game) have black shading in it.. any guess? my current renders are as follows (I have tried all of them)

You'd need to use an entity. Spawn the entity with a script when you place the block, and give it an inventory component. Then make it so that it's hit box lines up with the block so you can open the inventory. Despawn the entity when the block is broken

@desert vector I recommend just removing the cardinal direction trait entirely. Since you are already using a rotation trait that goes from 0-15, you can use that for the base rotations as well.

I spent the past 3 hours having a massive headache with this because using the cardinal_direction trait will cause anything that would rotate 67.5 degrees to be rotated from an undesired direction. Professional drawing for an example of what happens.

the block face (not cardinal direction) state is used to define which side of the block it is attached to. I feel using the "rotation" state and an additional "attachment: ["up", "side"]" would be more confusing (setting somewhat random numbers for the rotation) and would further worsen the block's interaction with vanilla: being able to place it while inside where its collision would be; completely disabling the structure rotation feature which will work with the example on the wiki if the block is placed on a side face

it doesn't look like your block connects to side faces so it isn't needed for you

If you want to redo them then sure

mint frost
#

well, that is the only option for them to render properly in the menu

#

so that is the only way to do it

sterile eagle
#

rotate the model?

mint frost
#

they're all rotated already so that they are placed correctly with the players direction

#

changing the rotation of the model will ruin all the values, and then force me to do additional changes in the actual block

#

which will have the exact same outcome

sterile eagle

but how is one of them not rotated correctly-?

mint frost

They are all rotated correctly?

#

It's how they are displayed in the menu

all of the blocks themselves are rotated correctly when placed

however, in the menu, the block is rotated in the wrong direction

Is there any way to make a block that places two different blocks on top of each other? Like for the angel statue in this pic, it’s an entity model but I want to make it into a block so it’s rendered from max distance however I cba having to always place two separate blocks to make the full statue. Can I just make two blocks (bottom half and top half) and then code them to join together and place when I place a certain block?

#

It would also save me space in the construction tab

#

Also is there a way to flip the blocks if I left click them? A mod which I use has that feature for some blocks and it would also save me space in the construction tab as the diagonal parts of the pediment have blocks for the left and right, if I could just have one block that I could flip when I click on it that would be a timesaver

does anyone know why blockbench does not have a slab preset in their block wizard? I went through the whole process but the "slab" showed up like a full block in Bedrock

Ask in the blockbench server?

#

I have done so as well... anyhoos, I believe it is possible to just change the inner of the BP block with the slab info from the bedrock wiki... it´s more complicated.. but we´ll see

#

Good news yesterday i have posted my/our Addon called Terras Capixabas (Capixaba Lands) that changes many blocks to Mcepdl.. it´s awaiting approval

hi there, is there any tag that makes the block a damage type that interact directly with entity`s filter avoid_damage_blocks?

No, I don’t think so

#

I made slabs but top part isn´t showing, I was successful I guess yesterday but I ended up removing the slab now I forgot what I used instead of unit_cube that worked... I already tried geometry full block but that did not work here. What should I use there? thanks!

#

it is complaining about the unit_cube.. but so what do we use instead that´s what I´d like to know

#

I guess maybe what I did is change the version number to an older version

That's not what unit cube does

#

Unit cube is purely geometry/visuals

That has been replaced with minecraft:geometry.full_block

rugged galleon
#

I used that and it did not work

#

I will try again

desert sorrel
#

Scrap what I said lmao

#

That's a geometry not component

#

minecraft:geometry": "minecraft:geometry.full_block"

guess I am going to have to pay my friend again to help me. I´ve already spent 40 dollars on him 😄

#

yeah! in Brazilian money though

#

if I lived in the USA like I did in 1998 onwards till 2013 i woul pay in dollars, but I came back to my home country and here things are 5 times the price and the dollar is 5 times the money so that´s why I would not be able to pay 5 times as much to you all living outside brazil

desert sorrel
#

Why you guys love paying 😭

rugged galleon
#

got it!

rugged galleon
#

if any of you know bedrock coders who live in brazil, send them my way for money - at least I can afford them with this country´s currency. I´m 51, an old man, so.. that´s why I am not as patient as a young coder is haha

#

Got it 🙂 thanks a lot will try it

#

it gave errors

#

I´ll have some milk and cookies now but I´ll come back in a bit

#

Wait I'm gonna fix it @rugged galleon

# desert sorrel 51 year old man?

yeah hahah I can safely say I am the oldest Minecraft player here, add to that (the fact) that I do not play/enjoy the game like most people do.
no multiplayer
no redstone
no adventure

oh thank you so much! this worked flawlesly! wow I am so happy 🙂 thanks to you I now have my very first custom slab! but I know smokey is an amazing guy he´s been patiently helping me along the way too! - you all have a good night cause it´s 23:42pm here and I´m about to go to sleep.
anyway my addon is already posted in Mcpedl.. I will send a link on the (I guess) showcase channel?!
if anyone could tell me which channel I could send a link to an mcepd addon.. cause maybe it is not allowed in this discord (and I would understand, if not)
