Blocks General

[shrewd storm]

Like this

Lol I didn't even see the above post

[fringe cosmos]

Tested this already but in case I miss something, does the tick component with looping false restart when the chunk reload, game reload, etc.?

[ornate dove]

what's are the rotation permutations of glazed terracotta blocks?

i know it uses cardinal direction

[lunar solar]

for the molang in block permutations, is it possivle to look for 2 individual values, like q.block_state(cmd:balls) = 2 || 3

[lunar solar]

#1368811254583660584 message

Any idea how to fix this error

Yes I literally triple checked every single state and permutation to make sure I wrote them correctly

[tawny falcon]

When using alpha_test_single_sided_to_opaque on a block for some reason all the surrounding blocks that only use alpha_test end up like this is this normal?

[sudden stag]

#1359280442745815140 message

[slim gust]

Yes, but I think you have to write it like q.block_state(cmd:balls) = 2 || q.block_state(cmd:balls) = 3. I'm not positive if there's an easier way to do it.

[sudden stag]

Has this been a common issue beforehand? And could someone post a screenshot of how it looks with it being broken?

[white bobcat]

Has been an issue before item visuals component even. I always thought is simply geometry related.

I'm not using minecraft:item_visual here, just a custom geometry:

In the normal fence, the yellow square shows the bug where the render of the top face of that bone is inside of another, while the red square shows how part of that other bone is rendered cut because of the other bone

Hope this helps!

[sudden stag]

Yeah this bug is probably more geometry related, thanks for the help!

[white bobcat]

Happy to help!

[slim gust]

I solved it by removing the minecraft:item_visual component. That makes the hotbar icon use the block geometry with correct rendering. I then use a state to track whether the extra bones should render or not, and then a permutation test to set those bones invisible when it's placed.

[slim gust]

It's definitely a hack, but it achieved what I wanted.

[tawny falcon]

Thanks

[white bobcat]

Yeah, definitely can find ways around it, but the issue is still there, unfortunately.

[white bobcat]

Interesting, if using two geometries and just one material instance component, using bone name instances in minecraft:material_instances wont work

Which makes me need to use the component twice in permutations, or one in permutation and the other in component

[neat shell]

any idea why this happen? (the red cube should have be an inner cube, it is inside another gray cube)

the item in hand look fine

[neat shell]

-# fixed, the gap between the cubes was too small

[neat shell]

how to fix this?

[white bobcat]

What’s the issue?

[pure lodge]

am I allowed to use this on my add-on?

[desert vector]

yes

[pure lodge]

thx!

can we only apply biome tinting to certain cubes of a model?

[desert vector]

you can do it per material instance

[neat shell]

the black face bellow

i might just switch to block entity and call it a day

[naive dove]

Does anyone know how much faster each level of efficiency increases mining speed by, I can’t find anything concrete online

[wheat verge]

Anyone possibly have a leaves decay method

[delicate patio]

anyone's know how to make a custom glowstone to look likes glowstone?

[delicate patio]

and how can I make the blocks act like sand, dirt, and farmland

[desert vector]

what

part of sand/dirt do you want your block to have

[desert vector]

make sure ambient_occlusion and face_dimming are set to false in your material instances

[delicate patio]

I want cactus, plants, and crops to be placed in a custom block

[desert vector]

add the sand and dirt tags

it won't work for all plants, but it'll work for some

[white bobcat]

Set face_dimming to false

I’m late sorry lol

[delicate patio]

I already did

[delicate patio]

thanks

[delicate patio]

thanks anyways

[jagged phoenix]

Is it possible to have a flipbook change textures randomly instead of sequentially?

[ornate dove]

how do you code vanilla like slabs and stairs?

[unkempt phoenix]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1362693525111836742

In this template there are working stairs an slabs included

[tawny falcon]

but not quite like vanilla

[indigo perch]

Can someone help me understand wtf is going on with versioning in addons?

child "minecraft:on_step_on" not valid here
Unexpected version for the loaded data

I've tried various combinations for min_engine_version and format_version (I'm on 1.21.80) and nothing gets the pack to load. I'm just trying to add 1 custom block with a component and events.

[odd dagger]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-event-migration

[indigo perch]

Ahh, I see
Thanks a lot

[white bobcat]

How can I avoid entities with translucency being rendered on top of custom blocks with blend?

[mystic vector]

Is there a way to use a mesh model for blocks or is that exclusively entitys and attachables

[spiral hedge]

How would you make a block not be able to have silk touch used on it?

[primal hatch]

how do you make sink touch used on it in the first place? meaning drops only with silk touch like grass block

[white bobcat]

Is the bone below the grass block?

[wheat verge]

Is there a way to get dry grass to be allowed to be placed on a block

I tried the sand tag but it only allows cactus

[neat shell]

Nope, they are way above the bottom of the block

[crimson ingot]

Any idea on why my block renders like this?

supposed to look like this

[thorny pond]

block model pivot points are always assumed to be at the model origin, so if your model has pivots not at the origin, rotated cubes will be translated in unexpected ways.

[crimson ingot]

Even with all pivot points set to 0,0,0, it still renders funky

[thorny pond]

what does your bone structure look like?

[crimson ingot]

I've attached the model so you can see

[thorny pond]

try this

[desert vector]

Which render method are you using

[desert vector]

hasn't this been fixed for years

[crimson ingot]

Using blend, because i have semi-transparent pixels

[thorny pond]

idk, maybe

ig I'm getting old

[desert vector]

blend is the thing causing cubes to be rendered in the wrong order

no way to avoid it other than removing translucency

[crimson ingot]

Would i need to do per bone rendering then? and only use blend for the translucent bones?

[desert vector]

that's bugged

[crimson ingot]

Damn

[tawny falcon]

Is it possible to make blocks absorb explosions like the slab does?

[shrewd storm]

Blast resistance

[tawny falcon]

Is this what absorbs the explosion?

[shrewd storm]

Basicly yeah just set it high. There should be so.ething that tells you what the resistances are for blocks

[slim gust]

Is there a way to tap in to the "pick block" with an addon? I have a block that I am using as a base for multiple different display entities, and I want to either set a specific item when the player tries to pick block, or if I can't then I just want to prevent that action all together for this block.

[tawny falcon]

I find it strange because the Minecraft wiki says that the resistance is low but they absorb explosions.

[tawny falcon]

It is not possible to prevent the pick block, and to pick up an item with a pick block the item must have the same id as the block

[naive dove]

Is it possibile to make a custom door without entities??

[white bobcat]

Yeah

[naive dove]

would you happen to have a template or atleast rough explanation on it?

[white bobcat]

Create a custom item to place your block using minecraft:block_placer, and set replace_block_item to true.

Your item must have the same ID as your block.

[white bobcat]

I have one but is a bit outdated; https://github.com/Kaioga5/Kaioga-s-Block-Templates/tree/main/templates/1.20.80/door
It can help you understanding a bit how it works.

[slim gust]

Unfortunately, I can't do that because multiple different items are placing the same block.

[white bobcat]

Oh well

In that case you'll probably have to do some hacky solutions with scripting

Or split up your block into different ones

[deep mantle]

Can I make a vanilla block have a custom texture when renamed with a specific name?

[lunar solar]

No

What kinda funky stuff happened when you go past the world permutation limit

Like say start with like 10k over

Then 20k

Then 30k

Also what in the cinnamon toast fuck are these errors

[slim gust]

In my experience, nothing happened. It just gave a warning. I suspect it takes up more RAM, which is why they emphasized that it impacts lower end devices more. But I've got a metric shit ton of RAM in my PC and I noticed no issues.

[north stream]

Does anyone know why putting transparent pixels on doors makes them invisible?

I need solve it

[desert vector]

a vanilla door? you can't change the material of vanilla blocks

so no translucency

[lament bridge]

OK, I'm stumped. How do we run a command when a block is placed?
The wiki says to use world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => { but then at runtime it complains that my custom component isn't registered. Additionally, it's not evident to me that a block object has the runCommand function.

A lot of alternative sources say to use world.events.blockPlace.subscribe(event but when I do that, nothing runs at all. I.e. something like the following should run a say command whenever any block is placed, but it does nothing.

    const block = event.block;
    const player = event.player;
    const { x, y, z } = block.location; // Get block coordinates

    player.runCommand("say ${player.nameTag} placed ${block.id} ${block.typeId}");```

And ignore any syntax errors here; I got all the parentheses and curly braces right, but omitted some of them here for brevity. It's not a compilation/structure issue (at least not one that VSCode nor Minecraft is catching at runtime).

[desert vector]

your script probably isn't being ran

is your manifest set up correctly?

[lament bridge]

Before this I setup some item components. Those still work, and are part of the same JS file. So I don't think that's the issue. But thanks for the recommendation 👍

[desert vector]

if you want to use the world event, it's

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe

[lament bridge]

I will try that, thanks!

[lament bridge]

That worked, thanks! Also, you were right about the manifest; I did some refactoring and my manifest was still pointing to an old/stale js file. Working now. Thanks again!

[lunar pelican]

How block variation weight works?

Let's say I have 2 grass textures and I didn't set weight for both, how much chances for 2 texture to display?

Or I'll set weight to 0.5 for 1st texture and other texture is weight: 50, what will happen?

[cursive swallow]

bro what the hell

my texture pack is turingin command blocks into seweed

ik command blocks have animated textures

but what the hell

[cursive swallow]

i realise my pack is made for v1.13 and up

that might be part of the reason

[primal hatch]

does anybody know the conversion between java and bedrock explosion resistance and block hardness?

[desert vector]

bedrock's custom block destruction stuff is broken

but seconds_to_destroy represents block hardness

[cursive swallow]

istg theres always SOMETHING broken on bedrock

[desert vector]

explosion resistance is 5x java's i think

[primal hatch]

Oh i've got a whole list of broken stuff i found 💀

[primal hatch]

It cant be the same tho

or example for stone, when no tool is on, it takes around 4 seconds to break

while its hardness is 1.5

also what about tool specific values?

[desert vector]

the item determines the destroy speed, not the block

I'd also just pretend that item_specific_speeds doesn't exist since it doesn't match how vanilla destruction works

[primal hatch]

so those tags work?

[desert vector]

the is_*_item_destructible tags work

but there are other issues with destroy speed

[primal hatch]

cant remmeber the name but thee are 4 tags for tools. bedrock has like 4 tags total lol and i didnt evne think those worked

[desert vector]

ignore the *_pick_diggable tags, they do nothing and aren't applied to any new blocks

[primal hatch]

this is what im talking about

[desert vector]

that will work
it won't match vanilla, but shovels will destroy the block faster

[primal hatch]

as usual there isnt a perfect match... 💀

[desert vector]

when they implemented the custom item/block mining speeds they seem to have completely forgot about the "best tool" feature

any custom digger will be treated as a suitable tool for any vanilla block

[primal hatch]

i can only say that hardness value is NOT equal to seconds to destroy, just testing with stone as a reference that has 1.5 hardness. setting seconds to destroy to around 5 seems to be around the same length

[desert vector]

it is, the missing best tool logic is what's causing any inconsistencies with vanilla blocks

[primal hatch]

let me put it a different way. The custom block/items system is dogshit. its a competing system to the existing ones, I know that they have it like that internally. It caused a slew of issues and inconsistencies because the 2 use completely different pipelines

[primal hatch]

so the tag isnt doing its job i see. on java you do get a penalty when using wrong tool, not other way around

tho item specific speed is working for me. Is that the one you said was bugged?

[desert vector]

it works, it's just weird

block hardness shouldn't change based on the used tool

[primal hatch]

yeah it should be the tool that decides. plus those values are not multipliers so it would be come very cumbersome to calculate the accurate ones for each tool

[desert vector]

also seconds_to_destroy and destroy_speed do not describe what those properties represent at all

increasing "speed" should not lead to increased destroy time

[primal hatch]

yeah another thing i complain. it shouldnt be called destroy speed as its not even used like that when you use tools

should be called just hadness

or destroy_speed_multiplier

[primal hatch]

ok so i think i found what gets around their issue

they are missing this

so setting second to destroy to hardness * 10/3 and destroy_speed to hardness itself seems to be the same

as it pre applies that in reverse

stone: hardness=1.5 ->

[primal hatch]

So anybody else having issue with loot table conditions?
This doesnt match any item BUT DOES match shovels AND empty hand

found a soluton to this bug too. Bugrock problems require bugrock solutions

[lunar solar]

How tf is this number even calculated because it feels like mojang is just pulling it out of their ass rn

I apparently have 450k+ states using the same combination of addons that got me that number there

[spare kraken]

How to make blocks have the interact animation

nvm

[fathom harness]

could you go into more detail

[desert vector]

I believe the issue they're describing was fixed a while ago

[fathom harness]

ah

[white bobcat]

What is the best way for me to make my blocks only drop themselves when destroyed with the proper tool type that doesn't involves making a loot table for every single block?

[primal hatch]

Write a script to do that

[white bobcat]

Okay, thanks!

[naive lotus]

Why does the dirt also green? I use material_instances and grass tint_method

[vestal marsh]

Because it tints the entire texture.

[naive lotus]

So how to make the dirt look normal?

[vestal marsh]

You cant.

[naive lotus]

Oh well...

[primal hatch]

Make a model with 2 cubes and give a different material instance to each

[primal hatch]

whats the point of loot tables if they get copletely ignored when you break anything with silk touch?

[cyan phoenix]

sucks

[young crater]

hello i have a custom crop there is a way to change the block break sound?

[desert vector]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-sounds

[lunar solar]

This is the result of mixing blend and opaque render methods

Idk how long it will stay working for but it works perfectly fine

Just blend leads to this clusterfuck

[desert vector]

you are not supposed to do that
although mixing non-opaque render methods should work but it doesn't

[cursive swallow]

Spill, please

[primal hatch]

sure

[desert vector]

1. fixed by setting fit_to_frame to false

2. fixed in custom components v2

3. If anyone would like to vote https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-177866

[primal hatch]

Thank you for 1

I knew of a havky solution, glad there is a proper one

[lunar solar]

You know maybe when they added the "to_opaque" list of render options maybe then it became incidentally possible to mix blend and opaque

[primal hatch]

Forgot to add that translucent blocks don't render at all unless another vanilla translucent block is in same chunk. Relevant for this discussion here, unless it was fixed very recently

[desert vector]

that's the mixed render method bug

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-190430

[primal hatch]

Where does fit to frame to btw? Obviously that's not on the wiki

[desert vector]

it's in gui, with rotation and the other parameters

[primal hatch]

In item transforms ok

What about the other 30 issues ☠️

[lunar solar]

Can you mix the to_opaque render methods and stuff like blend

[primal hatch]

No, use cutout. Also there's that bug

[lunar solar]

Cutout?

[primal hatch]

Alpha test

Single sided

Never double sided

[lunar solar]

Also what bug you are referring to?

[desert vector]

.

[cursive swallow]

Pressing esc while doing /reload will deadlock the game? Like brick the game forever or what?

Sounds scary

[primal hatch]

Yeah

It just gets stuck there forever

[cursive swallow]

Force close doesnt fix?

[primal hatch]

Also has a bug where downloading anything from marketplace would crash the game

Premium experience

[cursive swallow]

Ok wth 😭

[primal hatch]

Yeah you just close the game

[cursive swallow]

Ah ok

[lunar solar]

Look at em

[simple shard]

Why are my blocks invisible?

[desert vector]

the window chalet block has invalid geometry/material instances
if a subchunk contains any invalid custom blocks, no custom blocks will render

[rustic jolt]

i have a block custom there is a way to recreate the "chain" of the lantern when there is a block upper the my custom block?

[shrewd storm]

use permutations and either create 2 models or have 1 model with multiple lanterns and use bone visibility OR you can change the material instance with a texture that has that chain when placed in the block_face up position

[limpid sedge]

Is there a way to make it so blocks turned into items have two textures?

if not then I'll just scale the texture then merged them

[desert vector]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-models#changing-material-instances

[lament bridge]

Finally got my addons upgraded to v1.21. In a local world, everything works, but in a realm, the block events seem to do nothing. This one is supposed to summon an NPC, but they never appear. Other stuff (items/armor) work fine. I'm guessing this isn't supported in Realms? Any workarounds?

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(event => { 
    const block = event.block;
    const player = event.player;
    const { x, y, z } = block.location; // Get block coordinates

    if (block.typeId === "magic:home_terminus") { 
        player.runCommand(`summon magic:npc_eye_blue ${x} ${y + 1} ${z} facing @p "" HomeTerminus`);
        player.runCommand("dialogue change @e[type=magic:npc_eye_blue,c=1,r=5] home_terminus_main");
        player.runCommand(`tickingarea add circle ${x} ${y} ${z} 5`);
    };

[lament bridge]

Even custom block components don't work on realms ... wow

/** @type {import("@minecraft/server").BlockCustomComponent} */
const XPGeneratorOffInteract = {
    onPlayerInteract(event) { // Doesn't work
...
const XPGeneratorOnInteract = {
    onTick(event) { // Doesn't work
... 

At least for playerPlaceBlock events, the wiki hinted this might now work (though the wording implies it's specifically the beforeOnPlayerPlace event, not all events).
I can't believe I wasted my time on this just for Mojang to sabotage me yet again.

[vestal marsh]

Never heard of an issue where CC dont work. Are you using block placer for the placeBlock event?

[lament bridge]

Assume you're referring to the item component (https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/item-components#block-placer)? Not using that right now but could try that. I used to use block placer since block crafting recipes were broken pre ~1.20. But since it seemed to be fixed now, I skipped that.

[lament bridge]

In terms of CustomComponents, I've double-checked and I don't see anything different from the examples. Using world from Minecraft/server, world.beforeevents.initialize, etc
Works in a local world but not in realms
https://github.com/thebearup/magic_expansion_for_minecraft/blob/master/magic_behavior/scripts/main.js

[desert vector]

idk if this is causing the issue but remove this from your manifest.json

    {
      "module_name": "mojang-minecraft", 
      "version": "1.19.0"
    }

[lament bridge]

Nope, even with that change it works locally but not in realms. Is there any guidance on getting addons to work in realms? Toggles to use etc?

[lament bridge]

Even the item customcomponents don't work. Only thing that does is armor effects via tick.json

[lunar solar]

How are the total amount of permutations in an addon are calculated

Because every god damn time i update my cubits addon it goes up drastically

Currently it's at like 570k+ despite not adding any more states

[lunar solar]

This is filled with mostly cubits

[west rover]

whats the friction value of ice?

[primal hatch]

They are calculated how all permutations are calculated

From the states of all blocks

[desert vector]

it's the total number of permutations registered in a world https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-permutations#what-are-permutations

[lunar solar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1309119735928983593.png?quality=lossless&name=cooked

Kill me

That's so God damn stupid

[vestal marsh]

How so?

[lunar solar]

Actually I'd need to know more about how minecraft stores block states

Bit still I'm mad

[primal hatch]

Does it matter? It's not like we know how their (bedrock) implementation is done under the hood

[lunar solar]

I mean i need to know that if I can call it stupid or not

[primal hatch]

But I can assure you the more permutations the more objects created and the more ram stuff takes, models for each, components for each, so on so forth it quickly adds up

[primal hatch]

Unlikely. That limit they set might be tho. But given they made this game to run on mobile it's understandable that you would have limits

I've seen people with 100k blocks once

On java

Blocks, not blockstates

Those would take 20gb of ram just to load them in. No way you get that on a switch

[vestal marsh]

The limit is almost always due to stability and performance.

[primal hatch]

Still imo 64k permutations laughably small. So much for more perfromant game, in my example above the permutations were in the millions

[lunar solar]

So each block has like 12,960 permutations

And before there were 34 of them

[primal hatch]

That's way too much. Why you have so many for a single block

[lunar solar]

Now there are like 12 more

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1369582407598080070

[primal hatch]

Micro blocks. Yea you are out of luck

[lunar solar]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-tf2-tf2spy-spytf2-gif-19270816

[primal hatch]

Actually

Shouldn't the permutations there be 2^64?

[lunar solar]

?

[primal hatch]

(yes that would be one bazzilion)

[white bobcat]

What is the most efficient and lag friendly way to make leaves decay & falling leaves particles?

[primal hatch]

You got a cube made up of 64 small cubes. That's 2^64 no?

[lunar solar]

No?

[primal hatch]

Ah so you can just fill up the edges

[lunar solar]

Edges, center, and between the edges

And center of every face

27 smaller cubes

[primal hatch]

You probably want to randomly check blocks... If you can't replace the vanilla leaves that's how you would do it

[desert vector]

vanilla leaf decay is handled through random ticks
falling leaves would be client side if possible, i think people have done it by playing an animation on the player

[primal hatch]

Well your permutations are too many. You'd have to simplify it to work.

[white bobcat]

Any more efficient way to do the leaves decay? Hundreds of leaves with random ticking is super laggy

[primal hatch]

The random tick happens anyways game picks a handful of blocks every tick, if they can random tick their random tick component will be called

[desert vector]

hundreds of leaves with random ticking shouldn't be laggy
when i was testing my copper oxidation it was fine

[white bobcat]

It’s very laggy for me even though I made them decay just to the north, instead of the taxicab check vanilla leaves do. It’s most likely because my trees have around 200 leaves and I’m loading more than 20 trees at once

I find it better to do it without randomness every 3000-5000 ticks. But I still think there should be a more efficient way, even if not the most vanilla accurate, to do leaves decay.

[desert vector]

are the leaves checking after every random tick they receive? you could try decreasing the likelihood a bit

also caching the Block objects will help

[white bobcat]

Do you think it would theoretically be possible to have 1 leave ticking per tree, random ticking, which would be the one making the other leaves decay?

Making the check in the other leaves etc etc

[primal hatch]

Get a profiler and see what part is the most consuming. Chances are it's the setting the block one

Light update might also be another one, direct cause of setting the block to air

[desert vector]

the largest slow down will be from getting blocks

I doubt changing the number of blocks that tick will have much impact

[primal hatch]

Idk how they did the implementation here but they must be checking for a component that a block has so that should already be getting the block before the random tick method is even called

[white bobcat]

I assume they are making something to handle this more easily, I remember hearing it being mentioned

A taxicab check, which is how vanilla already works, is extremely bad for performance

[desert vector]

if we had chunk unload events then the caching method would be very easy

without resulting in the world being shut down

[primal hatch]

Still testing is easy. Make them tick. Just get the block and get a profile. Then get and set the block to another block and finally try to air

[white bobcat]

Will try more ways to do it the most efficient possible, thanks

In the same topic, how can I destroy a block with scripting without commands?

[primal hatch]

You cant

[white bobcat]

Not set type… destroy. I want loot & destroy particles to show up. I believe it isn’t possible, but in said case, what would be my best workaround

[primal hatch]

Just fire the command

[white bobcat]

Sad

[primal hatch]

Doesn't really make much of a difference

Other than commands are pointless overhead

Probably not terrible tho

[desert vector]

leaves don't make particles when they decay do they?

[white bobcat]

Last time I checked they did, unless I remember incorrectly. I’ll have to check again

Oh no they don’t! Hm, why do I remember seeing them..

[lunar solar]

Or somehow get more RAM 😭

Which I can do

[primal hatch]

Well limit remains. It's not a hard limit tho, just blocks it from the marketplace

[lunar solar]

Wasn't planning on releasing an addon that has specifications on ram size to run to the public

[junior flame]

Hello there! I'm trying to make a block drop/break when the block behind is broken. Here's what my test block component contains:

"minecraft:placement_filter": {
    "conditions": [
        {
            "allowed_faces": ["north"]
        }
    ]
}```I would've thought this would pop the block off when the supporting block is removed. But it does not.

[vestal marsh]

You'll need to list all the blocks supported allowed. We dont have support block component.

[junior flame]

Dang it, what a hassle. I'll use jsonte to have a re-usable blocks list then I guess

[white bobcat]

Mind sending it after? 🥺

[lunar solar]

Yeah I'd like that

[lunar solar]

I did get it to run but it crashed after a while

[shrewd storm]

No just when broken or destroyed by player/command

[lunar solar]

1 deep cleaning of my phone and a ram swapper later and we are in business

[random sonnet]

How can I prevent bamboo from breaking when it has a custom block below?

[brave yacht]

i have a custom crop but it doesnt grow for some reason, and has the missing texture block for its particles when broken. It also doesn't drop anything. I followed the tutorial in the wiki, I asume i messed up somewhere.

[desert vector]

there's a ] at the end of the state name in your permutation conditions

the item format version needs to be at least 1.21.60

the particle issue is due to MCPE-219143

you havent changed the name of the custom component in the script

[brave yacht]

thanks!

[vocal rune]

is there a way to remove custom block shadow?

[desert vector]

move the model out of the ground

[vocal rune]

is that the only way?

[desert vector]

yes

[vocal rune]

aw okay, thanks!

[shrewd storm]

Yeah its weird that the released geos freak out but in game vanilla geos dont

[balmy quiver]

Is it possible to modify vanilla block models? Like fences.

[desert vector]

no

[rich thicket]

how can i import java multi texture and convert it into single texture for bedrock with correct geo?

idk with blockbench or what

The model is multi-cube

[desert vector]

block textures should be 16x16
if whatever you're aiming to do involves making a texture larger than that, it probably isn't the best solution

[rich thicket]

ohh

so i should anyhow convert it to 16x16?

well when i stich the texture from java's, the result is 32x48

(in blockbench)

then i export the bedrock geo

and it looks cursed asf

[desert vector]

you can give blocks multiple textures

[rich thicket]

how???

[desert vector]

set different material instances for certain cube faces
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-models#changing-material-instances

[rich thicket]

Yoo

i just removed the shaft which was as separate texture

and it looks nice now

idc bout the shaft

it is just for the looks

[rich thicket]

okay i figured out the whole material thing

[west rover]

does item_visual's geo & materials accept bone_visibility & render_method respectively?

[vestal marsh]

It should.

[rich thicket]

Also how can i make block texture that makes it go out of bounds

like 3x3 texture 1 block in the middle

[west rover]

tnx

[white bobcat]

Hello! Is it normal that tag:minecraft:is_pickaxe_item_destructible still requires item_specific_speeds in the minecraft:destructible_by_mining component to make blocks destroy speed match vanilla blocks?

I tested with tag:minecraft:is_axe_item_destructible and I don't require of item specific speeds, but I do for pickaxes.

[white bobcat]

Here is a video showing this situation

In the video, none of the blocks had item specific speeds.

[desert vector]

they didn't implement the best tool stuff correctly

I wouldn't bother trying to correct it personally

since when they correct it, your blocks will have incorrect destroy times

[white bobcat]

So I assume is a bug with the pickaxe tag

I already fixed it with item specific speeds for most of blocks, just to find out that item specific speeds arent needed for the axe tag 😂

[white bobcat]

Well, Block Mojangster reading this someday, here's a bit of info & a showcase vid!

[desert vector]

I'd make a bug report for each issue to do with custom block destruction but it takes ages

[white bobcat]

Ages it takes to guess the destruction value of a block haha

The Minecraft Wiki doesn't gives the correct values at all

[desert vector]

if it worked properly, the hardness value would be used for "seconds_to_destroy"
ideally they'd rename "seconds_to_destroy" to "hardness" since it doesn't define a number of seconds

[white bobcat]

seconds_to_destroy is not even true anyway

I remember talking about this a really good while ago

That property is being multiplied by some weird decimal

Without any tool

[desert vector]

it seems like they tried to give "hardness" a nicer sounding name without knowing what "hardness" represents

[white bobcat]

Perhaps, my guess though is that seconds_to_destroy is simply an outdated system that haven't been looked at as much as it should

Because if I set seconds to destroy to 2, it does not means the block takes 2 seconds to destroy

[desert vector]

from my testing, seconds_to_destroy determines the block hardness
the lack of a functioning best tool system means that, even if the block hardness (seconds_to_destroy) matches a vanilla block, the destroy time will not

and all custom diggers are treated like a suitable tool for blocks meaning a custom axe would be able to mine stone faster

[white bobcat]

From my testing, it determines the time it takes to destroy a block rather than the seconds it takes to destroy a block. I guess they confused time with seconds. Even in the docs they define it as:

Sets the number of seconds it takes to destroy the block with base equipment. Greater numbers result in greater mining times.
Which isn't any true, since a value of 1.975 will result in a destroy time of ~2.95 seconds, instead of 1.975 seconds.

This is a very annoying system to deal with

[desert vector]

I added some clarification to the wiki a while ago https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-components#destructible-by-mining

[white bobcat]

Yeah, and even that is wrong too, this part specifically:

By default, the number of seconds it takes to destroy a custom block is 1.5× its hardness.

[desert vector]

given the values you mentioned earlier, it is
2.95 ÷ 1.975 = 1.49367089

if the values were in ticks it would be exactly 1.5

[white bobcat]

The way you wrote it made me think I could just get the hardness and multiply it by 1.5 to get the correct seconds to destroy

But that is not the case.

Or, at least not for all blocks

[desert vector]

it says that, to get the number of seconds it takes to mine a custom block, you multiply its hardness (seconds_to_destroy) by 1.5

[white bobcat]

Yep, exactly.

[desert vector]

that is the case though

for all custom blocks mined by hand

[white bobcat]

The hardness for cobblestone is 2, multiplied by 1.5 is 3, 3 is not the correct value nor near to the correct value of seconds_to_destroy

[desert vector]

cobblestone is not a custom block, custom blocks are missing tool detection

also you're still misunderstanding what I said

[white bobcat]

Maybe I just don't see any type of need of knowing the 1.5 value since it doesnt adds anything

It's okay

The real problem here is this fairy tale system lol

[desert vector]

if mojang implemented it correctly then we wouldn't have this sort of confusion
"seconds" not representing seconds is really weird

[white bobcat]

Yeah, it's unfortunate there is absolutely no way to make custom blocks match vanilla blocks destruction times without trial & error.

[desert vector]

the solution that would work currently to match vanilla is:
set the block seconds_to_destroy to 3.33 x hardness
add a specific_item_speeds entry that checks for the correct tool (including tier) that sets the destroy_speed to the block's hardness

[white bobcat]

I think that will also not work for all blocks, planks, for example

The 3.33 x hardness

[desert vector]

might be to do with whether the block should drop if destroyed with the wrong tool

[white bobcat]

If that's the case it makes this even worse haha

[rich thicket]

?

[rich thicket]

????

i want the block to have texture exceeding it's block

[desert vector]

you should make it separate blocks

or an entity

[odd dagger]

huh

you mean the geometry?

[odd dagger]

would be more performant if it's just blocks.

[rich thicket]

i mean in 1x1 block space to have block that has it's texture expanding upon 3x3

[fierce girder]

is there an on exploded script event for blocks?

[desert vector]

world.afterEvents.blockExplode

[fierce girder]

is that 2.0.0?

or

earlier

because i'm running my stuff on 1.18.0

[desert vector]

it will work

[fierce girder]

i am making custom tnt

but i want them to ignite when blown up

how do i

do that

[desert vector]

I think this would work

world.afterEvents.blockExplode.subscribe(event => {
  if (event.explodedBlockPermutation.matches("my:tnt")) {
    event.dimension.spawnEntity("my:tnt", event.block.bottomCenter());
  }
});

[fierce girder]

ty 🙂

ok now how do i filter so the ignite with flintandsteel event only fires if they hold the item, rather than every time they click

[desert vector]

how are you detecting the block interaction?

[fierce girder]

blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("bears:dense_tnt", {
        onPlayerInteract({ dimension, block, player }) {
            player.runCommandAsync(`execute if entity @s[hasitem={item=flint_and_steel,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}] run summon bears:dense_tnt ${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z}`);
        }
    });

[desert vector]

you can get the item in the main hand slot like this (you need to import EquipmentSlot)

const equippable = player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
const mainhand = equippable.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);

then check the item in the main hand slot and spawn the entity

if (mainhand === undefined) return; // Exit if the main hand is empty

const enchantable = mainhand.getComponent("minecraft:enchantable");
const hasFireAspect = enchantable?.hasEnchantment("minecraft:fire_aspect");

if (mainhand.typeId === "minecraft:flint_and_steel" || mainhand.typeId === "minecraft:fire_charge" || hasFireAspect)) {
  dimension.spawnEntity("bears:dense_tnt", block.bottomCenter()); // Spawn the TNT
}

[fierce girder]

it still fires the interact event

so it takes a right click

but does nothing

unless you have the correct items

[desert vector]

there's no way to prevent that

[fierce girder]

😦

how do i make the tnts not drop loot when blown up

[tawny falcon]

Is it possible to also control mobs? How to use the item on a creeper and make it explode

[half hemlock]

Any way to fix leaves not decaying possibly because of being hand placed or structure loaded?

[forest merlin]

Is there any way to make it so a block can perodically drop items, like a chicken dropping eggs?

[odd dagger]

yes.

you need to use custom components and use onRandomTick or OnTick

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-events

requires js knowledge.

[forest merlin]

I'm very new to all this and have no idea how to do that 😔
Thank you though, I'll look through it some more and see what I can figure out

Is something like the following heading in the right direction

/** @type {import("@minecraft/server").BlockCustomComponent} */
const EggDropperComponent = {
    onRandomTick(event) {
        const { block } = event;

        // Create egg item
        const egg = new ItemStack(MinecraftItemTypes.egg, 1);

        // Drop egg above block
        const location = block.location;
        const dropPosition = new Vector(location.x + 0.5, location.y + 1, location.z + 0.5);
        world.getDimension(block.dimension.id).spawnItem(egg, dropPosition);
    }
};

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent(
        "custom:egg_dropper",
        EggDropperComponent
    );
}); ```

[west rover]

how can i make vanilla plants be placed on custom blocks?

like custom dirt

[desert vector]

adding the dirt tag will allow some to be placed on the block
you can't do anything about the others

[west rover]

thank you

[tender cedar]

ok im like 5 seconds away from crashing out

[vestal marsh]

[tender cedar]

GOT IT!!
it was because i was storing minecraft:tick in perumutations and not the main components section

[dusk pumice]

Is it possible to create a custom loot table for suspicious sand/gravel in a structure?

There are 1 routes I thought about:

• You recreate the vanilla block as a custom block (and hope that there are components that lets you do this, and ideally without scripts. Why? Because I would rather avoid learning a whole coding language for something this simple). And use them in generated structures (or customised ore veins, whichever works best).
• If possible, use the vanilla suspicious sand/gravel block in your structure. But somehow assign them the loot table you want to use.

I have seen these blocks drop nothing a player places them. Assumingly because they don't have the loot table (similar to pick blocking a loot chest normally). That is, unless you have the nbt data attached to them.
That said, would it be possible to to modify this nbt data for an addon?

Why am I looking do try this in the first place?
I want to make an addon that adds dinosaurs for a friend. And one idea was using suspicious sand/gravel to excavate the fossils from them.
These fossils are required to craft the eggs for these dinosaurs.

[vestal marsh]

Yes you jigsaw structures.

[dusk pumice]

ooh. I heard of them. I'll look into that. Thanks

[nova wolf]

Where the particles appear

I know the particle name but it just doesn’t appear like it should be

[unborn wave]

does anyone have a template for a block that utilizes the randomized textures? Like when you place it down in different locations and it uses a different texture.

[west rover]

is it possible to add my block to the minecraft:planks entry?

[vestal marsh]

Give the proper tag.

You'll need a block placer though.

[west rover]

the wood tag?

oh not it

i thought tags arent supported in recipes

[vestal marsh]

They are.

[west rover]

do you have example?

[tawny falcon]

yes, but you need to create an item, and put the tag on it, putting the tag on the block doesn't work

[balmy quiver]

I'm making a block with variations (vertical slabs). Is it possible to make it share the same texture as the normal block instead of having another one?

If so, what should I change to share the texture?

(shaft is actually being displayed tho)

heres how it looks like

[rich thicket]

large_cogwheel.json
https://pastebin.com/Hx6L66eT

[rich thicket]

okay i solved it

i just re-added the block

[white bobcat]

How can I fix this?

[dusk pumice]

I am learning how to make a crafting table.
It works just like the vanilla one, the reason why having this being a variant of it is to have items only craftable on there.
This helps keep recipes in reasonable groups for scrolling through suggested recipes with the standard crafting table.

I know of and used the crafting_table component.
However, the block in the game does not show its UI.

Am I missing something?
Is there a file I should add to ensure the UI shows up?

[desert vector]

only the crafting table component is needed
could you send your block code?

[dusk pumice]

,
"minecraft:crafting_table": {
"grid_size": 3,
"crafting_tags": [
"custom_crafting_table"
],
"table_name": "Custom Crafting Table"
}

Is this component correct?
The rest of the code is the standard.
falmmable, material instances etc.

The block does show up in the game and places without issues.
It is when you interact with it, the UI does not show up at all.

[desert vector]

remove grid_size

it was removed in 1.19.10

[dusk pumice]

ahhh... ok. let me check

btw, there is no ui folder in my addon. I was not sure it would need one if it would use the vanilla crafting ui

[desert vector]

it will use the vanilla ui

[dusk pumice]

sadly no dice, still missinig ui.

Will remove the other code to see if any of that might be interfering

[vestal marsh]

Show your entire file.

[dusk pumice]

here it is.
Would the verison be the issue?

[desert vector]

crafting table is 1.19.50+ so you should be fine
would be best to update the format version anyway

[dusk pumice]

ahhh, true. will have a look there.

[desert vector]

i've just copied your block into my BP and it works

btw the table_name will be the block's display name by default so you could remove it too

[vestal marsh]

Any content log?

[desert vector]

not for me
other than the missing textures since i don't have those in my terrain texture

[dusk pumice]

oh, ok that is odd.

I loaded a new world with the addon on its own and now it loads.

I see this is likely from another addon that is interfering with it.
Will have to adjust the load order in this case.

Am happy to see it works without errors at least.

lol silly, but am 100% sure that another addon that uses custom UI was the culprit.

Note to self, test addons separately. Then try them in a batch.
And if there is an issue, move back to separate worlds before going to the batch.

[white bobcat]

I suppose is an error and not a feature right?

[dusk pumice]

If one can add sounds to blocks (eg. stone, wood, etc.)
Would it also mean if you use amethyst, does the block make the sounds of the vanilla blocks?
Namely when you step on them, the soft ringing they do, aside from breaking and placing them? 🤔

[desert vector]

yes

[dusk pumice]

unless Mojang lets players have more control on how they want their custom blocks to be treated in the game.
We are sadly bound to the limitations that the devs have enabled in Bedrock's code.

Wanna make a blue pig? sure
Want to make it grow wings and fly? Maybe if you know how to do that?
Can you make custom block that is not treated like a full block? nah....

[upbeat jewel]

I need a help from someone

some users said that my mod caused lag in there world, but i didn't experience because im using a high end device

I think this is because I have too many states in my blocks, minecraft automatically calculates how many permutations my block has

but the thing is, i dont use permutations, i use the states for the bone visibilities

[vestal marsh]

Those go to the state.

[upbeat jewel]

i have 12 states with 2 values each and it comes out to 4096 permutations but i dont even have a single permutation

i mean there are 16

https://mcpedl.com/connected-textures-optifine-ctm/
this is my pack

also a user said that the glass panes didnt connect, but for me it worked properly

[vestal marsh]

Its not about the permutation, its the amount of states. Which can be permutations.

[upbeat jewel]

oh, is there anyway i can reduce the states?

wait ill send the states

"states": {
                "gao:connected_north": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_east": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_south": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_west": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_up": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_down": [false, true],
                
                "gao:connected_north_b": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_east_b": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_south_b": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_west_b": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_up_b": [false, true],
                "gao:connected_down_b": [false, true]
            }

i have 17 blocks that has this many states

[upbeat jewel]

the b means its connected to a full block

[vestal marsh]

Yikes...

I think this is just a case of waiting dor Mojang to introsuce the connectable block trait(or component, they havent fully decided)

[upbeat jewel]

i mean i can still remove 6 states and have 64 calculated permutations, but it wont connect to a block

does anyone have tips how i can make a workaround to lessen the states

I actually have an idea but i dont know if this will work

state 1 : 16 values ( if same block )
state 2 : 16 values ( if a block is connected to a full block )
connected_up : 2 values
connected_down : 2 values

@vestal marsh do you think this will work, sorry for the ping

[vestal marsh]

16 values for the same block? Wdym?

[upbeat jewel]

i meant if same block connects

the state 1 is the four cardinal directions

it detects where the same block is

for example, 1 = there is no connected blocks, 16 = all 4 sides are connected

nvm, i'll just try it, anyways thanks for the help

            block.setPermutation(permutation);

[desert vector]

since we don't have client side scripts there will be no way to fully reduce the delay

unless a component is added

[solid matrix]

that's unfortunate

that's actually useful thanks!

[uneven hamlet]

is it possible to make a block like a redstone block, that always emits a redstone signal?

[west rover]

is alpha_test_to_opaque non experimental?

[tawny falcon]

yes, but in the last previews it became unusable

that is, it does not become opaque, but this is temporary.

[west rover]

thanks

[ionic laurel]

I convert a block model used in java as bedrock block, but when I open the file back, blockbench opens the model as bedrock entity. Is this a problem?

[desert vector]

if the model is in a models/blocks folder it will be opened as a bedrock block

[ionic laurel]

oh, 😅 thanks

Remove collision box

Block sounds don't go in the BP https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-sounds
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-format-history#_1-19-10

Updated minecraft:flammable

• Can now be set to a boolean, with false meaning the block is non-flammable and true using the default flammability values.
• Renamed flame_odds parameter to catch_chance_modifier
• Renamed burn_odds parameter to destroy_chance_modifier

[zinc wyvern]

Thank you very much

[muted quail]

How do i change All blocks appearance, like switching the textures while in game?

[vestal marsh]

Elaborate please. Do you mean like interacting it with changes the texture or do you mean you updated the texture on an external app and you want to see it in game?

If the first use block states and permutations
If the second type /reload all

[muted quail]

change block texture while in game, rendering blocks not changing permutations

almost everything
would be best to start by creating a post explaining what you're trying to create

[unborn wave]

just a block with " random textures" like texture changes depending on where the block is put down

[solid matrix]

how can you check for destroyed blocks in general?

BlockComponentPlayerDestroyEvent is only for player destruction sadly

[tawny falcon]

Maybe just with tick, I'm not sure

[gilded mortar]

is it possible to add custom sounds to blocks?

[vestal marsh]

Yes.

[gilded mortar]

How

[gilded mortar]

nvm

[ruby ridge]

are events still relevant?

[vestal marsh]

No.

[ruby ridge]

custom components now?

[vestal marsh]

Yes.

[ruby ridge]

wait custom comps are stable now??

DANG

got this block working I can setblock it however I can't find it in the creative menu nor I can /give it

[vestal marsh]

Any content log?

[ruby ridge]

oh it works now

the group was just wrong

"group": "minecraft:itemGroup.name.concrete"

also I need your opinion which on is better to name blocks in RP or just display_name?

[vestal marsh]

You can utilise both depending on your use case.

[mild path]

are there any requirements for a generated en_us.lang file?

I've generated a file with 300 entries for tile and item names but it seems like it does not link to the actual items

I get a correct value when using tellraw to see the translations tho

[vestal marsh]

Whats the translation id look like?

[mild path]

tile.blocks:stripped_sycamore_wood.name=Stripped Sycamore Wood
item.blocks:stripped_sycamore_wood.name=Stripped Sycamore Wood

blocks is the identifier of the addon

[vestal marsh]

Ah, for item remove the .name.

[turbid veldt]

The format for naming items in .lang changed

Old: item.sirlich:hoe.name=Hoe
New: item.sirlich:hoe=Hoe

Essentially you just need to remove the .name

Jun 10, 2025, 12:02 AM

[desert vector]

any reason you haven't set the item display name to the same translation key as the block?

[wheat verge]

I can take a guess and say that they probably want to make their block a fuel source

[desert vector]

I would set the item's display name to tile.blocks:stripped_sycamore_wood.name

[wheat verge]

Also, if anyone might know, I am trying to make a placement filter for my flower pot.

If block below is air, then I want the block to break

I tried using allowed_faces and setting it to up, in and outside of the condition, but neither worked

[desert vector]

we'd need improved placement filter conditions to do that properly

[wheat verge]

Is there an improper way of doing it? lol

If so I would like to try it

[desert vector]

script api playerBreakBlock event for the block below
it won't detect any other form of the block below being removed though

[wheat verge]

That would mean anytime I break a block this would run

[desert vector]

yes

[wheat verge]

Yeah that is not worth it

ok guess what

I don’t know how

But I figured it out. (Edit nvm, still more testing)

lol

Yeah I couldn’t figure it out unfortunately, if air had a tag it would be nice

[desert vector]

i think separate support tags would be best
e.g.

"conditions": {
  "allowed_faces": ["up"],
  "block_filter": [
    { "tags": "q.any_tag('minecraft:top_support')" }
  ]
}

[vestal marsh]

https://discord.com/channels/1138536747932864532/1249768291384426546

I prefer mines.

[desert vector]

I don't like the idea of collision box being used outside of collision
I also had an idea of an attachment box but tags seem to align better with what vanilla does

[wheat verge]

Ah yeah I’ll use that

[wheat verge]

Do most blocks have that tag?

[desert vector]

no that doesn't exist

[wheat verge]

oh nice

lol

[desert vector]

just an idea based on how vanilla blocks are categorised

[wheat verge]

It would be nice if you could simply put a ! behind the block you don’t want it to be on

lol

shouldn’t be this hard to make a block break on there being an air block below it with the placement filter

[desert vector]

more molang

"condition": "q.any_block('example:block') || q.any_tag('dirt', 'sand')"

[wheat verge]

what if I just checked for all the tier destructible tags

[desert vector]

not all block require a tool to drop

like dirt

so they won't have tier tags

[wheat verge]

that’s not what it checks

that tag makes tools break stuff faster

[vestal marsh]

Bedrock doesnt have that.

[desert vector]

that's the is_*_item_destructible tags

[wheat verge]

yes

that’s what I meant

mb

I could just use those but it would be too much

might as well just allow it to be placed on any block even air

it’s unfortunate but it’s fine I guess

Even a prevented_block_filter object would be nice

[desert vector]

I think copying entity filters with all_of, any_of and none_of would be good too

[wheat verge]

honestly lol

But if they wanted something out that would be simply and quick, i’m just saying i’d love to see a prevented blocks filter

[desert vector]

why isn't there a wood_tier_destructible tag?

[white bobcat]

Do tier tags have any utility anyway?

[vestal marsh]

It makes mining faster.

[white bobcat]

The tier tags?

Last time I checked they didn’t do that

Yes the tool tags, but not the tier ones

[desert vector]

they're also supposed to reflect whether a block needs the tool to drop afaik

[desert vector]

no, it (should) make mining with the wrong tool slower

but it doesnt

[vestal marsh]

Thats the is _ item isnt it?

[desert vector]

the is_*_item tags cause tools to mine the block faster
the tier_destructible tags currently do nothing, but should result in a 5x multiplier being applied to seconds_to_destroy if the wrong tool is used instead of 1.5x

[vestal marsh]

Oh doh

Youre right.

[desert vector]

we would also need a wood tier for that to be possible though

[vestal marsh]

I was thinking of digger.

[white bobcat]

I assumed this but they don’t yeah… had to do a script for that

[odd dagger]

would be nice if they did

[grave fox]

is there any way to make an block that is placeable by an item only placeable on solid blocks?

beforeOnPlayerPlace custom component didn't work

[vestal marsh]

It should work now in 1.21.90

[grave fox]

did it come out today?

anyway thanks

[rich thicket]

is there any way for custom hitboxes for blocks?

[vestal marsh]

Multicollision? No
Normal collision? Yes

[rich thicket]

?

what does multicollision mean

[vestal marsh]

Stairs, cauldron, things with not one collision.

[tawny falcon]

Is it not possible to use different loot for different states of a block?

I'm trying but my loot doesn't change

[vestal marsh]

Yeah just add the loot table component to each permutation.

[tawny falcon]

So it's very strange, my block is like the leaf litter, I put different loots for each state each one giving the corresponding amount but regardless of which state it always gives me 1, as if it were the base loot

[tawny falcon]

Thanks, I ended up finding out it wasn't working because I made a pretty stupid mistake

[vestal marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-gif-25333385

We've all been there, glad to hear it's fixed!

[rich thicket]

alright, how with normal colission?

[white bobcat]

With the collision box component

[mint frost]

Are we able to make smooth transitions between textures to mimic things like furnace's when on? I'm looking at the texture and it's not flickering but transitioning textures

ah wait, guess they're just using a flipbook texture?

yeah nvm. just a flipbook texture with blend_frames

[shrewd storm]

the more frames the smoother it is. timing takes a few trys though

[mint frost]

well I had it all working without using material_instances and blocks.json, but that doesn't allow me to switch states. Moved it into material_instances and updated the block geometry to include material instances for down, east, north, south, up, west. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to have worked and I'm not quite sure why.

followed the wiki guide 😔

[desert vector]

the direction material instances are built in and don't need to be defined in your geometry UVs

the material instance selection priority for the north face of a cube is
UV material_instance > north > *

make sure you have have a * instance since that's required

if each side of the block has a different texture, I'd personally use * for down

[mint frost]

thanks, didn't realize it was built in

'*' is not required, at least the errors are gone and the block visuals are showing correctly

[desert vector]

oh
they must have changed that at some point

[lunar solar]

Can you use > in molang for permutations

Like if cmd:balls > 7

The permutation is active

[vestal marsh]

Yeah.

[lunar solar]

Ok

Also if multiple permutations are met like

One is cmd:balls > 7

Another is minecraft:block_face == "up"

Can you have components from both of them combine so long as they dont share any components

Like the cmd:balls > 7 one has a minecraft:collision components

And minecraft:block_face == 'up' has a minecraft:light_emission component

If a the blocks values meet both values both will active

[tawny falcon]

Does match_tool only prevent the block from being dropped when broken in the hand? Isn't it possible to make it not drop if it doesn't have a supporting block?

like short or tall grass

[west rover]

yes they would combine

[nova wolf]

Is it possible to make a block with a 45degree angle like this?

I don't like the look of my slanted framed blocks, so I'm trying to explore better options again

From my understanding, the mesh thing is only entities

[vestal marsh]

Not really no.

[nova wolf]

Guess I'll have to stick with this then

Looks ugly from certain angles, because all you see is just the little indents

[tender valley]

Minecraft is the game of squares, not triangles 🤭

[upbeat jewel]

with the new script version, how can i now make custom components?

[desert vector]

it's very similar to how it used to be from the scripting side
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-events#registering-custom-components

[upbeat jewel]

i meant custom components

[desert vector]

that page is about custom components

[upbeat jewel]

oh nvm i scrolled up

thanks

[upbeat jewel]

can i also ask if i checked a block every 10 ticks using the custom component will it lag the world

the block im talking about are ores that spawn naturally

[desert vector]

what are you checking about the block

[upbeat jewel]

im gonna make an connected outline mod

for ores

so it checks the permutation

i mean, it checks the adjacent blocks of it sorry

[desert vector]

I've personally been avoiding connection using permutations since it's slow and it's quite easy to run into the permutation limit

[upbeat jewel]

i dont use permutations, i use bone_visibilities

im just wondering if i check all the ores for like 10-20 ticks will it cause a lag

because there are prolly hundreds of ores even if the render distances are low

[desert vector]

understandable misconception given the name of the permutations array,
if you're using states, your block has multiple permutations
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-permutations#what-are-permutations

[wild depot]

Stairs for endermite

[desert vector]

that might slow things down

i remember trying to make custom walls and things being quite slow

[upbeat jewel]

oh now i get it, but my other mod have 60+ blocks that has 64 permutations and still not a problem for a lag

[upbeat jewel]

ohh.

"minecraft:tick": {
"interval_range": [10, 20],
"looping": true
}

maybe if i set looping to false, does it check only once?

this also uses the custom component tick btw

[desert vector]

yes
but if you break an ore the others won't update

I've also heard that ticking can be unreliable in world generation

[upbeat jewel]

yeah i can do that with onplayerplace and break

[upbeat jewel]

yeah maybe ill just make a workaround after a world generates

thanks for the help

[heady crypt]

Can we set custom blocks to be placeable with dispensers?? like shulkers and powdered snow??

[balmy quiver]

Why does the custom block I made look darker than the vanilla block? Is there a way to make them share the same color?

they use the same texture

[mellow portal]

Hey chat, what block component is it that causes vanilla fences to connect to a custom block? Trying to get the fences to unstick themselves.

[vestal marsh]

No.

[vestal marsh]

You may need to mess around with ambient occlusion and face dimming.

[vestal marsh]

You cannot modify that.

[mellow portal]

How does the game know what blocks to stick to?

Would it stick to every custom block?

[desert vector]

yes

[balmy quiver]

and where in the block file is that

[mellow portal]

Well dang.

[desert vector]

I'm not sure if there's a way to avoid this
ambient occlusion affects custom blocks differently and changing the intensity might not fix things

I think it's the same issue that causes cross geometry blocks to become dark

[gilded mortar]

anyone knows why my recipe isn't working at all?

[vestal marsh]

You need to create a block item.

Block tags arent transferred to items automatically.

[tawny falcon]

As some other thing you need an item block as recipes only accept item tags not block tags

[atomic lake]

Anyone know a way to mod Vibrant Visuals glowing sign text so it looks the same as Fancy Graphics?

is this how uv lock is formatted?

"minecraft:geometry": {

  "uv_lock": [

}

[gilded mortar]

Anyone knows if it's possible to use a custom breaking flipbook without entities?

[upbeat jewel]

is it possible to add custom components on vanilla blocks?

[vestal marsh]

No.

[mint frost]

Can you add flipbook textures to blocks containing multiple textures w/per-face UV?

Don't know if it's as simple as just putting the texture path in with the others and it just inherently knows which one it is or if there's something special I need to do/it's not possible

oh nvm, they all need to be listed out as separate terrain_textures, I left some old stuff in there with the last block I had that copied and forgot to remove

[mild path]

is there a list of updated block components that are locked behind experimental toggles / preview version?

[mild path]

can I make a block's loot table change based on the item held while breaking it?
eg block is broken with shears > drop seeds
block is broken with hand > drop block

[ruby ridge]

hello peolle, how do yall do block animations?

[white bobcat]

As in how entity animations work, is not possible. You have to do flipbook animations

[ruby ridge]

yeah flipbook animations like the sculk shrieker, can you link some references or documentation?

[hearty wraith]

i downloaded a custom Fluid template but the blocks are from below the 1.21.21 update, ¿there's a custom Fluid template for the current versions of Minecraft?

[ruby ridge]

how do you manipulate the UV and the direction of a flipbook animation?

[harsh temple]

you have to replace the block events by scripts, in wiki.bedrock.dev there is a section on event migration

[harsh temple]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-event-migration

yo, i'm placing some "block".json files into the behavior pack folder, but they don't appear in game, what could i be doing wrong?

Guys, I have this block with a "blend" render method. As you can see it has a colored box inside it. But when I'm holding it, I can't see the box. That's because of the render method, I assume. But is there a workaround so I can actually see the box when I'm holding the block?

[vestal marsh]

If I recall, try reordering the bone hierarchy.

[waxen canyon]

Also, I remember reading in the Bedrock Wiki about arranging the cubes position in Blockbench so the block icon in the inventory is shown as it's supposed, but I couldn't find it again...

[waxen canyon]

That's precisely what I'm looking for! 😅

I remember reading about it in the wiki... but now I'm trying to find it and I can't get to that page...

[vestal marsh]

I dont recall it being on the wiki actually. I think it was in this Discord.

[waxen canyon]

Hmmm... do you recall where can I find it?

[desert vector]

it was on the wiki but I thought that issue was fixed

might be only be fixed for certain render methods

looking at that block, you could use alpha_test_single_sided instead

[waxen canyon]

I'm looking in the wiki right now but I cannot find it 😦

Here's my current hieracy:

• "frame" is the wood frame
• "box" is the crystal box
• "core" is the colored cube

[waxen canyon]

let me try that...

Ok, it kinda works... I mean, the "box" frame has a transparency (it's 50% white), but I can work with a white frame too if transparencies are out of the table

[desert vector]

oh i didn't see that

I don't think the translucency there is worth the issues blend has

[waxen canyon]

hmm..., now the outer "box" is rendering on and off

[waxen canyon]

Agree. But alpha_test_single_sided makes the transparent box ticks, like, dissapear and reappear

oh nvm

it was a texture issue

what's the difference between alpha_test_single_sided and alpha_test alone?

[desert vector]

alpha_test_single_sided / alpha_test

[waxen canyon]

You can use blockbench to see how's gonna be rendered? Or you just made this mockup by hand?

[desert vector]

no I did that by changing the preview settings

[waxen canyon]

can I ask you how you did that exactly?

[desert vector]

"outside" is equivalent to single sided

[waxen canyon]

ty!!

[ruby ridge]

how do I set block break particle? mine is just a a question mark dirt block

[west rover]

    "texture": "wiki:particle_texture"
}```

or the "*" in material_instance iirc

[desert vector]

this might not work because of a bug (MCPE-219143)
it will be fixed in 1.21.100

[tall zenith]

(MCPE-219143) The block "permutations" array is not taken into account when determining destruction particles from material instances

Status

To Do (Open)

Resolution

Unresolved

[ruby ridge]

I see thanks a lot

[west rover]

was down also a fallback or am I wrong

[desert vector]

yes

glad they made * optional

[west rover]

nice

[ruby ridge]

for the particle texture what is it supposed to be?

[desert vector]

something from terrain_texture.json

same as in material instances

[ruby ridge]

my blocksuddenly went unknown

oh just wrong format version

I moved to 1.20.70 and the customComponents no longer works

[desert vector]

the destruction particles component needs 1.21.70+

and custom components need 1.21.10+

[ruby ridge]

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Module [@minecraft/server-gametest] is unrecognized. If this is a Native module, did you remember to add it to your manifest.json?

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Template - 0.0.1] - [main.js] ran with error: [ReferenceError: Module [@minecraft/server-gametest] is unrecognized. If this is a Native module, did you remember to add it to your manifest.json?]

[Scripting][warning]-Component 'tm:shrine' was not registered in script but used on a block

it gave this after I changed to 1.20.70

[west rover]

should use 1.21.70 not 1.20.70

[ruby ridge]

welp nevermind

the issue was copilot imported some random stuff on the custom component

[hazy turtle]

where can i find those options on the program? i'm trying to make a transparent block but the other side of the texture is showing

[desert vector]

in Minecraft?

[hazy turtle]

oh so you can only see the change in game?

[desert vector]

changing your blockbench settings won't affect how it looks in-game

but it's in File > Preferences > Settings i think

[hazy turtle]

so, i was able to import the block into the game, but it's texture is invisible, what can i do about it?

[hearty wraith]

yeah but in this link only shows blocks event when the player steps on it

[west rover]

do tags in block desciptors accept custom tags? or just vanilla ones

[hazy turtle]

how do i correct this?

[hazy turtle]

sorry for the lack of intel, basically the problem is, if i'm facing any other direction, the block the block is placed on level with ground (as it should be), but when i'm facing north, the block is placed on a 90 degree angle

[hazy turtle]

how do i use the minecraft:multiface_feature

[vestal marsh]

That is a #1067869232395735130 question.

[hazy turtle]

oh, i thought i was a block feature, i would try it on the block i'm working on to make it work like it's supposed to

[mild mist]

How the heck do you do carried textures for non full blocks with block sprites. I made my own vertical slabs pack and I’m trying to do waxed copper vertical slabs that have the carried textures to show that they are waxed like the bedrock tweaks add on. I downloaded that add on and tried to decipher it and reverse engineer it and I can’t make it work..

I know it’s something to do with the blocks.json but it’s so confusing and I can’t find straightforward documentation on it..

[vestal marsh]

You can use item visuals to display the hotbar differently than the actual block.

[mild mist]

Is that in the blocks.json?

[vestal marsh]

No its a componeng.

You should not be using blocks.json except for sounds.

[mild mist]

Bless. I’ll check it out. Thank you Smokey❤️

[mild mist]

Do you know if there is a bedrock.dev page about that? I cant find anything..

Or any documentation

pffffft nvm I found it.

can I do a 3D icon thats different than the block itself though?

[vestal marsh]

Yes.

For example, your actual block can be geometry.vertical_slab but your icon can be a different geometry, say geometry.wacky_model

[mild mist]

Got it. thanks for the help sorry to bother:)

[hazy turtle]

how can i add the top part of a slab and make them stack as a full block?

oh, do you any source where i could find a template script for that?

[mild mist]

Good way to make blocks oxidize a. At the same rate as vanilla copper, and b. Change into another block but maintain its orientation?

[vestal marsh]

Using custom components.

[mild mist]

Aghhhh haha ok.. I need to brush up on my scriptingXD

[hazy turtle]

does this block rotation method still works?

"properties": {
"block:rotation": [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

"permutations": [
{
"condition": "query.block_property('block:rotation') == 2",
"components": {
"minecraft:rotation": [0, 0, 0]

....

[white bobcat]

Yeah, you just need scripting to set the states

[hazy turtle]

as on this one?

{
"format_version": "1.21.90",
"minecraft:block": {
"description": {
"identifier": "wiki:custom_block",
"states": {
"wiki:string_state_example": ["red", "green", "blue"],
"wiki:boolean_state_example": [false, true],
"wiki:integer_state_example": [1, 2, 3],
"wiki:integer_range_state_example": {
"values": { "min": 0, "max": 5 } // The same as [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}
}
},
"components": { ... },
"permutations": [ ... ]
}
}

[white bobcat]

That is not a script

I'm talking about #1067535382285135923

[hazy turtle]

oof, sorry i'm am beginner on this addon stuff, could we continue discussing there?

[white bobcat]

It would be better if you created a post in this same channel

[vocal rune]

how do I prevent fences from connecting to my custom block?

[vestal marsh]

Cant.

[thorny pond]

is there a way to make custom leaves that actually look correct?

[vestal marsh]

Not fully as far as I know. You can almost do it with some complicated culling rules.

[thorny pond]

is there at least something that works pretty good

[white bobcat]

This

[thorny pond]

It appears that "condition": "default", is no longer valid in block culling

[white bobcat]

Use same_block

[thorny pond]

yeah it doesn't work

[white bobcat]

What's the problem?

[thorny pond]

fixed it

this template has multiple issues

hmm well not quite fixed

is there a way to cull if a different solid block is on a side?

for anyone using this template, use this block culling instead

[thorny pond]

whats the best way to recreate the effect where leaves surrounded by leaves / solid blocks turn opaque?

[west rover]

does world gen of blocks* trigger onPlace?

[vestal marsh]

It should last I remember. Maybe not.

[west rover]

thanks

[lost edge]

Does anyone have the vines' block file? I couldn't find it

[vestal marsh]

There is no vanilla block files.

[vocal rune]

is there a way to change leaves model?

[vestal marsh]

No.

[white bobcat]

This is not a vanilla behavior

[hazy turtle]

does enyones know a script template for a block to summon an entity when broken?

[thorny pond]

it absolutely is and pretty much always has been

[marsh basin]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-permutations#maximum-amount-per-world

Just remembered this. Does this mean that the sum of permutations of each block cannot be > 65536? For example, I have two blocks, one has 4 permutations, the other has 6. Therefore registered = 10?

I'm just not sure what it means "sum of permutations of blocks that are in the world" or "sum of registered permutations"? I tried to get this warning, considering the first option, but having placed blocks in total for 113,246,208 permutations, but I did not receive the warning. So I think it is the second option, but I want to make sure

[desert vector]

yes it is the total number of permutations each block type registered to the world has, but there are also around 50000 vanilla permutations

the number of blocks placed in the world is irrelevant

[marsh basin]

Are they taken into account?

I mean vanilla blocks

[desert vector]

I'll double check

oh apparently not
weird that it doesn't specify custom blocks anywhere

I wonder what it is about them specifically that would cause performace problems

[vocal rune]

is there a way to fix this?

[desert vector]

no

[vocal rune]

[west rover]

you can if just by visual by command setblock it or use a permutation controller addon

[desert vector]

fence connection is not handled with block states

[west rover]

oh then just setblock

without the block state part of the command

[desert vector]

set the block to what?

[west rover]

ohh nvm they still autoconnect when setblock

just tried it

I thought they wont auto connect by command setblock

my bad

[mild mist]

I’m trying to put together a “copper_behavior” script that has block maps for the different oxidation, de-oxidation, waxing, and unwaxing stages, and incorporates the vanilla behaviors with the axe and honeycomb, and replaces the blocks when they are interacted with correctly/oxidize on their own, with the correct block but maintaining the permutations of the previous block. It’s proving difficult.. anyone have something like this already?

[vestal marsh]

How are you setting the permutations?

[mild mist]

Cardinal Rotation based on facing direction when placed.

[vestal marsh]

I meant via scripts. It seems youve gotten it to change different blocks but not maintain the states.

[mild mist]

I haven’t.

I’m not versed in JavaScript and am working with code mostly written by gpt. So obviously it’s not workingXD

[vestal marsh]

Ah, well I don't have something like that but I do have a script that mimics a waxed item: https://github.com/SmokeyStack/adk-lib/blob/main/experimental/scripts/item/item_wax.ts I'd recommend learnign the basics of the ScriptAPI and custom components as well.

I’ll check this out, thanks

[mellow portal]

I keep getting the error culling condition specified is same_culling_layer, but geometry has no culling layer defined. My custom blocks will cull against opaque vanilla blocks, but not against each other, and I'm trying to figure out why.

Culling rules:

{
    "format_version": "1.21.80",
    "minecraft:block_culling_rules": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "namespace:cube"
        },
        "rules": [
            { "condition": "same_culling_layer", "direction": "north", "geometry_part": { "bone": "root", "cube": 0, "face": "north" } },
            { "condition": "same_culling_layer", "direction": "south", "geometry_part": { "bone": "root", "cube": 0, "face": "south" } },
            { "condition": "same_culling_layer", "direction": "east", "geometry_part": { "bone": "root", "cube": 0, "face": "east" } },

            { "condition": "same_culling_layer", "direction": "up", "geometry_part": { "bone": "root", "cube": 0, "face": "up" } },
            { "condition": "same_culling_layer", "direction": "down", "geometry_part": { "bone": "root", "cube": 0, "face": "down" } }
        ]
    }
}

Block definition:

{
    "format_version": "1.21.70",
    "minecraft:block": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "namespace:block"
        },
        "components": {
            "minecraft:material_instances": {
                "*": {
                    "texture": "namespace:texture",
                    "render_method": "opaque"
                }
            },
            "minecraft:geometry": {
                "identifier": "geometry.cube",
                "culling": "namespace:cube",
                "culling_layer": "minecraft:culling_layer.undefined"
            },
            "minecraft:collision_box": {
                "origin": [ -8, 0, -8 ],
                "size": [ 16, 16, 16 ]
            },
            "minecraft:selection_box": {
                "origin": [ -8, 0, -8 ],
                "size": [ 16, 16, 16 ]
            },

It looks like this:

I believe it is an issue with the game recognizing it as a full opaque block.

[hazy turtle]

how can i apply this to a custom block so when i break it, it summons an entity?

onPlayerBreak(event) {
event.block // Block impacted by this event. This is the block after it has been broken.
event.brokenBlockPermutation // Permutation of the block before it was broken.
event.dimension // Dimension that contains the block.
event.player // The player that broke the block. May be undefined.
}

[fallen tiger]

One update broke the culling :c

[leaden hound]

Hiii who knows how to increase chances of getting mob heads in more mob heads pack so that it becomes 100% drop rate

[fallen tiger]

Does anyone know how to fix it?
