Ah that's what you mean.

Are you using the bulit in geo or using a custom geo?

Yeah, thats a bug.

Use the built in one instead

hello, i have a block with this material instances ```js

  "minecraft:material_instances": {
    "*": { "texture": "white_concrete_powder", "render_method": "alpha_test"},
    "glass": { "texture": "orange_stained_glass", "render_method": "blend"}
  }
#

why does the blend part not render when the block is placed in a positive x coordinates?

that's not the issue here

#

oh wait, this seems to have fixed it 🤨

#

but now i am getting a separate issue where face culling is missed up

Do vanilla blocks use the new tags that got introduced for our custom blocks so that vanilla tools can mine them efficiently?

Alright, thanks Smokey

More specifically, would I simply put all the tiers I want in a query.has_any_tag?

Pickaxe tag for breaking all pickaxe destructible blocks and then additional tag to check if it supports the tier

Question. Is there anyway to Export and Import a Structure between two worlds that’s roughly 200x100x150?
I know .mcstructures can only do 64x64 (as far as I’m aware). Which is why I’m asking to see if the ONLY option would be to break the structure up in sections and piece them together one by one.

Also beside planet Minecraft, what a good source for downloading .mcstructures by other people?

is it possible to have custom logs use the pillar_axis block states like vanilla logs?

Anyone know how to react that fence effect with the transformation component? Cuz it works with other packs, yet trying to recreate it does not work for me.

You mean the 1.5 collision box bug?

I got a fence template that I made some months ago with it on my block templates repo discord server

Though I am thinking of a way to solve that... if I have the time.

But on my personal discord server that I made for that projec, I made another fence template that makes use of a bug to not use two blocks.

Is there no longer any way (besides scripting shenanigans) for translucent full blocks to have interior face culling? Just wanted to double check. I can't get translucency now without specifying a geometry (using minecraft:geometry.full_block).

eh

#

why is the "minecraft:placement_filter":{"allowed_faces":["up","side"]}, makes my block unplacable?

Guys, the textures for the blocks...

Does this make the block have 3 textures? Or the plate has the texture plate and other are unaffected

In my script I have an onTick() event running on a block, it is pretty important to be able to use the block's current position when using commands such as "setblock ~ ~ ~ air" (I know i could use setType but i would like to know how to use ~ ~ ~ for future commands). However just using dimension.runCommand("setblock ~ ~ ~ air") does not seem to work. I even tried onTick( block ) {block.runCommand("setblock ~ ~ ~ air")} but that also does not work. Any help would be welcome

vestal marsh

ohhh, so how would I use the blocks current position when running commands through dimension?

Hello, has anyone had issues with custom block breaking speed not matching what's set?
Here is the related portion of my block's code: json "tag:minecraft:is_pickaxe_item_destructible": {}, "tag:minecraft:wooden_tier_destructible": {}, "minecraft:destructible_by_mining": { "seconds_to_destroy": 7.5, "item_specific_speeds": [ {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:wooden_tier')"}, "destroy_speed": 1.15}, {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:stone_tier')"}, "destroy_speed": 0.6}, {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:iron_tier')"}, "destroy_speed": 0.4}, {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:diamond_tier')"}, "destroy_speed": 0.3}, {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:netherite_tier')"}, "destroy_speed": 0.25}, {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:golden_tier')"}, "destroy_speed": 0.2} ] }And here is the proper breaking times for a vanilla stone block as according to the wiki article (I have matched these values in my code)

#

However, when mined by hand, the custom block takes roughly 11.3 seconds, whereas vanilla stone takes 7.5.

desert sorrel
#

You scared the shit out of man 😭😭

junior flame
#

Lolll my bad

#

Jumpscare

desert sorrel
#

About your problem, the docs states that the block mining you put 2x than the actual speed

junior flame
#

I've tried that, but then my custom block takes 22.6 seconds to break by hand instead of the vanilla 7.5

desert sorrel
#

7.5 - 2 = 5.5

junior flame
#

It seems to my like the relationship is nonlinear, because when using a netherite pickaxe, my custom block is mined instantly whereas vanilla stone takes time

desert sorrel
#

Can you try 5.5 that?

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Breaking

Minecraft Wiki
Breaking

Breaking, digging, punching, or mining is a common activity in Minecraft, performed (by default) by holding the left mouse button or right trigger while the cursor is pointing at a block, or by long-pressing on the block on touch screens. Breaking is the primary way to remove unwanted blocks and acquire blocks for future placement or crafting.

desert sorrel
#

This shit is confusing as hell

#

so like 7.5 - 5?

#

or 7.5 ÷ 5?

junior flame
# 
"tag:minecraft:is_pickaxe_item_destructible": {},
"tag:minecraft:wooden_tier_destructible": {},
"minecraft:destructible_by_mining": {
    "seconds_to_destroy": 7.5,
    "item_specific_speeds": [
        {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:is_pickaxe')"}, "destroy_speed": 1.5}
    ]
}```This sample works and matches all tool expected times, but the breaking by hand is still ~11.3 seconds when I have set it to 7.5 seconds
desert sorrel
#

it's 3.8

junior flame
#

What's 3.8?

desert sorrel
#

11.3 - 7.5

#

subtract 3.8 to 7.5

junior flame
#

Why? Wouldn't you do 7.5 * (7.5/11.3)

#

If the block takes 11.3 seconds to mine, and I want it to take 7.5, I need to find the ratio between expected vs actual.
that ratio is 0.75/11.3 = 0.663..,
so I should then multiply 7.5 by that ratio to get my new breaking speed, so that in-game it is 7.5

desert sorrel
#

ohh make sense... But the seconds to destroy is still confusing asf

junior flame
#

Yeah that's why I feel like I'm doing something wrong

desert sorrel
#

lemme search this server regarding this.

#

try your math and see if it works

junior flame
#

Yes it seems to

#

I assume the ratio is 0.666 (or 2/3) just because I was using my phone stopwatch to time the breaking initially so I may have been off

desert sorrel
#

The destroy speed works fine just the seconds to destroy is kinda confusing

junior flame
#

Wait I'll do a better test to find the ratio

vivid oxide
desert sorrel
vivid oxide
#

yeah do you need a screenshot of what I am working with?

desert sorrel
#

in your block add, it can be anything but the name you out here should match the one you will use in the scripts ..."minecraft:custom_component": [ "custom:block" ]

and the script should look like this.

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('custom:block', {
        onTick({ block, dimension }) {
           block.dimension.runCommand(`say ${block.typeId} at (${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z})`);
        }
    });
});```
junior flame
#

I've used scripting to time block breaking, and can confirm it matches vanilla stone with all different tool types

desert sorrel
#

so what's the fix?

junior flame
#

That sample works for stone, not sure why when I tested it it measured to be 11 seconds. Reloading the world changed it

vivid oxide
desert sorrel
#

and just use the API version of it not runCommand

vestal marsh
junior flame
#

I'm running more tests because now custom iron blocks don't have the same mining time as vanilla lol

#

something to do with the hardness value maybe

vivid oxide
#

dude thanks, I'll see if it works in a sec

vivid oxide
vestal marsh
#

Then yes yeah.

vestal marsh
junior flame
#

Well oddly enough I'm having the same scaling issue as before...

image.png
#

That is when you mine using your hand, but when you use an iron pickaxe the ratio is the other way around

#

Oh no way

# 
"minecraft:destructible_by_mining": {
    "seconds_to_destroy": 25, // This should be set to what wiki says for default breaking time
    "item_specific_speeds": [
        {"item": {"tags": "query.any_tag('minecraft:is_pickaxe')"}, "destroy_speed": 5} // destroy_speed is the hardness of the block
    ]
},```
#

@vestal marsh ^ seconds_to_destroy shouldn't be renamed to hardness as per your feedback post, it seems like destroy_speed should be...

vestal marsh
junior flame
#

Yeah I don't know why it's so strangely setup

#

all I know is that using those values works

# 
import { BlockPermutation, system, world } from "@minecraft/server";

const overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");

const testBlocks = [
    "minecraft:iron_block",
    // Add your custom blocks to compare speeds
];
let testBlockIndex = 0;

let blockPlacedAt = -1.0;
const blockLocation = { x: -155, y: 68, z: -388 }; // Set this block location as required

function placeBlockAtTestLocation(typeId: string) {
    let tmpBlock = overworld.getBlock(blockLocation);
    if (tmpBlock === undefined) return;
    system.runTimeout(function() {
        tmpBlock.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(typeId));
        blockPlacedAt = system.currentTick;
    }, 20);
}

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(function(data) {
    if (data.id == "test:mining_speed") {
        const sourceEntity = data.sourceEntity;
        if (sourceEntity === undefined) return;
        testBlockIndex = 0;
        placeBlockAtTestLocation(testBlocks[testBlockIndex]);
    }
});

system.runInterval(function() {
    if (blockPlacedAt == -1) return;

    let tmpBlock = overworld.getBlock(blockLocation);
    if (tmpBlock === undefined) return;

    if (tmpBlock.typeId == "minecraft:air") {
        let currentTick = system.currentTick;
        let miningDuration = currentTick - blockPlacedAt;
        let miningDurationSeconds = miningDuration / 20.0;
        world.sendMessage(`${testBlocks[testBlockIndex]} takes ${miningDurationSeconds} seconds to mine.`);
        blockPlacedAt = -1.0;
        
        testBlockIndex++;
        if (testBlockIndex < testBlocks.length) {
            placeBlockAtTestLocation(testBlocks[testBlockIndex]);
        }
    }
})```
#

A very rough testing setup. Set the block coordinate ideally on top of a bedrock block, and after you run the scriptevent start mining the bedrock

vivid oxide
#

This is what I have, It does not appear to be working. have I inputted it wrong? '{onTick({ block, dimension }) {
block.dimension.runCommand(setblock at (${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z}) air);}'

junior flame
#

You can do

// Make sure to import BlockPermutation
import { BlockPermutation } from "@minecraft/server";

block.setPermuation(BlockPermutation.resolve("air"));```
desert sorrel
desert sorrel
junior flame
#

But isn't what he sent effectively just replacing the current block with air?

desert sorrel
#

But idk lmfao

junior flame
#

@vivid oxide What are you trying to achieve?

vivid oxide
#

all this is for nothing if I cant find a way to replicate the randomize function that used to be part of the block events anyway

#

that was the whole backbone of the system

junior flame
#

You definitely can

vivid oxide
#

option two would be I just learn how to use jigsaw blocks but I have no documentation

#

ok i figured it out

#

block.dimension.runCommand(setblock ${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z} air);

#

Thank you all for helping me 🙂

junior flame
#

You can use world.structureManager.place to create structures
https://stirante.com/script/server/1.16.0/classes/StructureManager.html#place

So, when the block ticks I assume you'd want to create a structure centerd at the block location?

// in the body of your tick callback:

world.structureManager.place(
  "mystructure:identifier",
  block.dimension,
  {
    x: block.location.x - some_x_offset_to_center,
    y: block.location.y - some_y_offset_to_move_into_ground,
    z: block.location.z - some_z_offset_to_center
  }
);```

Documentation for @minecraft/server

vivid oxide
#

YES dude.... huge

#

thank u so much

#

its not centered but i do need offsets

#

what about rotation?

desert sorrel
# vivid oxide YES dude.... huge 
world.structureManager.place(
  "mystructure:identifier",
  block.dimension,
  {
    x: block.location.x - some_x_offset_to_center,
    y: block.location.y - some_y_offset_to_move_into_ground,
    z: block.location.z - some_z_offset_to_center
  },
  {
    rotation: "None",
    waterLogged: true
  }
);```

#

Perfect. Got that working

#

now what about the randomize problem

#

Any ideas?

I did with chance...

Yo im back with another question. Does anybody know how to turn off the auto shading feature blocks have? I have tweaked the ambient_occlusion and face_dimming to false, but it still has that slight shading. I want this to look like a never ending void, but corners are super obvious, and any of the four different materials in material_instances don't fix it.

desert vector
# rotund badge how would i fix this issue?

if you want to have the same rendering as a mob spawner you need to define textures in RP/blocks.json, remove "texture" from material instances and remove the geometry component

ah...

#

thanks

#

do i just add these custom components to a main.js

#

like they dont have to have their own files or anything right

desert vector
#

imo it's better to have them in separate files
e.g. BP/scripts/myComponent.js

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

const MyBlockComponent = {
  // Hooks
  onPlace(event) {
    // do something on place
  }
};

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("my:component", MyBlockComponent);
});

and then import into main.js

import "./myComponent.js"

How do I use the block tick component to run things like scripts or commands?

desert sorrel

imagine the system.runInterval delay option

#

you need to use onTick of block components in script to run things

onTick from what?

# 
world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('custom:block', {
        onTick({ block, dimension }) {
           block.dimension.runCommand(`say ${block.typeId} at (${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z})`);
        }
    });
});

shrewd storm
desert vector
#

are you using multiple render methods on those blocks?

shrewd storm
#

just the one thats disapearing yeah. it has 2 textures only way i was able to get the trasnparent part

desert vector
#

you can only use 1 render method per block
you should be able to just use one texture with blend

shrewd storm
#

but whats weird is its only near the sand that it does this

#

no it works fine outside of the beach area

desert vector
#

the reason that is happening is because you're using multiple render methods on one block
it will not happen if you only use blend

shrewd storm
#

ill try it and see if that helps

#

It worked. But it needed 2 faces per bone to render correctly for blend

#

It turns invisible if north and or south aren't a face

vestal marsh
#

Is that using the built in cross geo?

shrewd storm
#

I wonder if you can use this for leaves to avoid the weird render when using the full_block geo

#

Yeah it is

#

Err was

#

It's my sapling geo now

vestal marsh
#

Any particular reason you're not using the built in?

desert vector
#

i think the built-in cross geo is outdated anyway
if they updated it to be double sided (preventing face mirroring) this wouldn't be an issue

shrewd storm
#

^

desert vector
#

they've updated the cross blockshape, but not geo

vestal marsh
shrewd storm
#

I've used my own since I started i didn't even know about the built in till I was on like my 9th flower lol

#

I've only really used full_block built in since unit_cube was removed, not sure how many built in geos we have for blocks.

shrewd storm
vestal marsh
#

We only have two publicly. In the exe build there are strings for other geos but not useable.

vestal marsh
shrewd storm
#

Alpha_test

desert vector
#

minecraft:geometry.cross vs cross blockshape (1.21.60)

shrewd storm
#

As as far as I've read apha_test should have rendered the translucent part i guess I misunderstood the wiki

vestal marsh
shrewd storm
#

Well only certain textures work with certain renders so yeah

vestal marsh
#

According to my docs anyways.

image.png
desert vector
#

double sided blend could also help

shrewd storm
#

Meh(waits for update) again

desert vector
#

what update are you waiting for?

shrewd storm
#

Well hopefully updated geos for blocks so I can cut down on how many I'm using lmao

vestal marsh
#

Thinkdricks Suing?

#

I think...the next one we desperately need is slabs.

shrewd storm
#

Stairs* but yeah

vestal marsh
#

Not stairs.

desert vector
#

i'd like better culling rules first

shrewd storm
#

Custom culling rules

desert vector
#

so we can create leaves, glass etc

vestal marsh
#

The reason not stairs is because that requires editing bone visibility and we don't have that ability for built in geos.

shrewd storm
#

Oh yeah good point

desert vector
#

i feel like they would have to state-drive stair connection too

shrewd storm
#

Custom collision

#

They do

#

they use 0-3 for weirdo direction which includes the corner and they have an upsidedown_bit for upside down placement

vestal marsh
#

Java's block states better.

desert vector
#

wonder why they haven't been updated to minecraft:cardinal_direction and minecraft:vertical_half like other vanilla blocks

shrewd storm
#

also when i placed just 4 in a circle all 4 that are the corner just say weirdo direction theres nothing else in it so idk

#

they need to

vestal marsh
#

Weirdo direction is that they call the top part of the stair.

shrewd storm
#

yeah its just weird how they do the colision if they only call one part of the stairs for placment like that

desert vector
vestal marsh
#

I forget how atrocious stair select/hit collisions are.

desert vector
#

I'm pretty sure only the blockshape does any connection

shrewd storm
#

it has to be theres only 2 states

#

er traits i guess

vestal marsh
# desert vector

Last I tried anyways, if you tried aiming at the corner bit(at the back) it would fail to place the block. Maybe it's an editor mode issue.

shrewd storm
#

unless they really do it as a seperate part and just use a perm to place it like we do

#

have a seperate geo for the corners use query for neighbors

vestal marsh
#

In Java at least they only have two geos.

shrewd storm
#

that makes sence. one for normal cardinal and one for the corners

#

the only reason they havent just implemented majority of javas code is cuz java isnt universal in all platforms, atleast not all of its funtionality

#

in order to do that they would have to rebuild bedrock with javas core to work with c++

#

idk why they havent just made their own engine to work like unity or eu5. you can totally make it to work seperatly for both platforms

#

youd really only need to update the engine for new mechanics everything else would just be an addition to whats already impemented. build ur engine around java and c++ and use either for the core for what ever platform its on. ios would be the only issue

desert vector
white bobcat
#

I remember seeing something about iron, stone etc etc

desert vector
#

they don't do anything afaik

white bobcat
#

Unfortunate. So adding that tag will only make our custom blocks destroy faster with any vanilla tools of said type, correct?

desert vector
#

yes, i believe that's how vanilla blocks do it too

white bobcat
#

And those tags don't have any relation with the loot right?

desert vector
#

the tier tags are applied based on whether the vanilla block drops loot
they won't stop loot dropping from a custom block

white bobcat
#

tier tags?

#

You mean the iron, stone etc

desert vector
#

yes

white bobcat
#

But they have no use on custom blocks just vanilla

#

?

desert vector
#

let me check

desert vector
white bobcat
#

Categorise blocks how? Like a comment on the file, or do they change speed too?

so you can look at a block's tags and determine whether it would drop loot

Well, the data will be lost upon reload. But there are a few other ways to store data on blocks. The most common way is to store a block location and have that as a key.

yeah i use block locaiton as the key currently

in my database

but using structure blocks ruins that.... for plot systems

Have 3 quick questions:

  1. Is it possible to distinguish between naturally generated blocks and blocks placed by a player?

  2. Is it possible to determine if a block was generated as part of a tree?

  3. Is it possible to check if a block belongs to the same tree as another block?

whenever you want to set a destroy time, take the time you want in seconds, and multiply it by 2/3, and set that as the destroy time for the block

i found out what was wrong with the component, it adds 50% of the destroy time you choose to the actual time it takes to break the block

if the "skin" and "outfit" textures need to be displayed layered on the same cube you'd have to do something like this

You need the geometry component for texture definitions in material instances to take effect
Remove textures definitions in RP/blocks.json and add something like this to your BP block JSON components

"minecraft:geometry": "minecraft:geometry.full_block",
"minecraft:material_instances": {
  "*": {
    "texture": "my:top_bottom_texture"
  },
  "north": {
    "texture": "my:front_texture"
  },
  "south": {
    "texture": "my:back_texture"
  },
  "side": {
    "texture": "my:side_texture"
  },
  "west": "side", // Use the "side" instance for the west and east faces
  "east": "side"
}

this also assumes you are using the cardinal direction state with a Y offset of 180

@vestal marsh Hello sir. I have a block that is 2 blocks high. I would like the entire block to be interactable / have a collider.
As of now, the selection/collision box is an entire cube. 16 x 16. But the block is 32 high, so i cannot interact with the top half of my block. Any ideas? I was thinking of an empty cube that i can spawn on top. and then pass interaction data?
I will also need to destroy the dummy block, when the original block is destroyed, and vice versa

#

Seems like a lot just because i don't know of a way to make a larger collider

desert sorrel
#

yeah, the problem is the collision works yes but interacting is not, the size of interaction will always be full block.

#

Best way is to place another block, but in that case, just make the block full block and just create a separate block for 2 blocks high that 🤷
