need some help scripting for a block that is replaced by air if you step on it (if it's currently possible) bao_foxxo_blank

hazy turtle
west rover
#

was the bug fixed for destruction particles not taking the material instances on a permutation?

vestal marsh
west rover
#

thanks, yeah just annoyed by it

west rover
#

and import system

#

you also used blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent when youve already destructured blockComponentRegistry

west rover
hazy turtle
west rover
#

params in custom components is so frickin beautiful

west rover
#

best way to learn them is to actually read them through and understand what you are writing

#

and you can learn by watching or observing how other people code stuff

hazy turtle
#

well, if it's ok to do it there ofc

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

mint frost
#

Is there a fix for arrows getting stuck on blocks that aren't a full block?

vocal rune
#

is there a way to apply tint to only one specific cube of the model?

desert vector

#

ohh i see, thank you!!

#

how do you make a 2d texture as icon for a block in inventory?

desert vector

#

yipeee!

mild path
#

is it possible to have a premutation for a block based on it's x and z position?

#

I can't find a molang query to access that data

desert vector
#

block permutation is purely based on block states

#

what do you need the x and z position for?

mild path
#

I'd like to make a chess pattern using the block x and z

desert vector
#

I think you'd have to use scripting to set a block state when the block is placed

mild path
#

is there an event for block placed by a feature_rule?

desert vector
#

I don't think so

mild path
#

does a ticking block forces a chunk save?

#

assuming the tick changes the state of the block

desert vector
#

i'm not sure what causes chunks to be saved
might be worth asking whether you can make blocks generate in that pattern in #1067869232395735130

mellow portal
#

Any tips on this? How would I make a custom block cull vanilla solid blocks?

unborn wave
#

question, does anyone know if it's possible a block model to have more than one texture file? like One cube having a differant PNG than another?

unborn wave
unborn wave
west rover
#

yes they can

west rover
#

right click a cube and there should be a material instance in that menu

#

for you to assign names for a cube or face

#

alternatively in the uv panel of a selected cube theres this button you can click to assign the names

astral rivet
#

Is it possible to get a vanilla block to reference a new texture from my resource pack? For example, instead of stone using the stone.png file, I get it to use custom_stone.png, with the idea being that it will break most Xray resource packs

desert vector
#

xray packs are made by making blocks use the invisible blockshape
making the stone texture transparent would just make the block black

astral rivet
vocal rune
#

is this only happening with a custom block using a custom model, or is it also happening with the normal unit cube (a standard full block)? It disappears when it's too far from players

There are some materials that will address that but they were disabled temporarily

vestal marsh
#

It should be enabled in 1.21.100.

vocal rune
#

ahhh okay

mellow carbon
split kayak
#

Can we have falling sand? Or blocks that emulate that behavior?

white bobcat
#

Yes, using entities

#

Use scripting to check when any block with your custom sad on top is destroyed and when your custom sand is placed > When air below, set the block to air and spawn an entity with a block model and your texture > When the entity hit's the floor despawn the entity and place your custom sand

west rover
# mellow carbon can you give me an example snippet for that? (the JavaScript one) 
system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
  blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent(componentName, {
    onPlace: handleBlockUpdate
  });
});

const handleBlockUpdate = (event, componentParams) => {
  const { block } = event;

  /** @type {{ connection_type?: string, rotating?: boolean }} */
  const params = componentParams.params ?? {};
  const connection_type = params.connection_type;
  let rotating = params.rotating;
  
  if (rotaing) {}
  
  switch (connection_type) {
    case "column": column(block); break;
    case "bench": bench(block); break;
    case "sofa": sofa(block); break;
    default: return;
  }
}```

Hey thank you for responding. You don't happen to have any templates that utilize this do you? i am struggling to make this work. no biggie if you don't, I just like to reverse engineer as i am a beginner 😅

How well supported is custom wood by the game? Do I have to manually make custom wood recipes?

vestal marsh
split kayak
#

Appreciated, I'm trying to plan development time with another contributor, helps to know that wood should be fine

desert vector
#

planks will be fine
stairs/slabs/fences aren't properly possible

split kayak
#

I'm referring to stuff like being able to craft sticks and tables with custom wood

#

If that will require manually created recipes

upbeat jewel
#

how can i make a block have different break speeds for each tool without settings per item speed

split kayak
real scarab
#

wait can structure blocks save custom blocks in the bounding box? the blocks from my addon arent rendering in the preview thingy

desert vector
#

cobwebs don't render either

#

the blocks will be saved anyway

k, phew

is there an and/or statement for q.block_state, i want to change my block geometry if any of the block states listed are true

vestal marsh
real scarab
#

he said any tho

#

so || ?

vestal marsh
#

Yeah you can use both.

#

He said and/or

desert vector
#

why use && when you can do this

q.block_state('this:code') + q.block_state('is:beautiful') == 2

lol

west rover
#

in culling if the block was rotated, will the directions of the culling also be relative to the block rotation?

desert vector
#

yes

west rover
#

interesting

#

tnx

#

are the directions limited to the 6 cardinal directions?

HCF Removal and Custom Components

The Holiday Creator Features experimental toggle has been removed. Along with it includes JSON block and item events. This functionality has been replaced with custom components.

Please take a look at the following links to learn more about custom components:

Bedrock Wiki

MS Docs

upbeat jewel
#

can someone here explain how grass_top and grass_carried works, and how can i also make that for a custom block

#

i also want it to depend on the biome like the grass texture

desert vector
upbeat jewel
#

thanks

upbeat jewel
desert vector
#

No
you could make two textures (one without a tint and one that should be tinted) and have two cubes in the model that overlap the textures

upbeat jewel
#

ok thanks

upbeat jewel
#

is there also a block component that changes the speeds of the break time depending on what tool

vestal marsh
upbeat jewel
#

do i manually set it?

#

per item

#

thats what i do but i think i saw someone say theres a more efficient way i just dont remmeber

desert vector
upbeat jewel
desert vector
#

the vanilla tools have a speed defined which affects blocks with the block tags

upbeat jewel
#

what about this

#

should i follow hardness or default

#

do i make the seconds to destroy 3 or 10

desert vector
#

3

upbeat jewel
#

because ik the seconds to destroy is hardness right?

desert vector
#

the time it takes to destroy the block using the wrong item will not be as long as vanilla but that's because there is functionality missing from custom blocks

#

so it will only take 4.5 seconds with an empty hand rather than 15

upbeat jewel
#

ohh right thanks

upbeat jewel
#

finally did this

Is it possible to change the color of any text in lang files?

pseudo ether
upbeat jewel
#

how does minecraft layer the textures like this

desert vector
#

it doesn't layer the textures

#

the dirt texture is in grass_side.tga

#

it has an opacity of 0 which prevents the overlay_color in terrain_texture.json from being applied to the dirt

upbeat jewel
#

how can i also do that?

#

nvm im gonna do something else

#

thanks

Anyone know why my chest block's texture looks fine in the world, but appears to be mapped wrong in item form?
The chest is actually a fake block entity, and I'm using "minecraft:item_visual" to set the block's geometry & texture to match the chest, instead of it being an invisible block.

upbeat jewel
olive flume
#

Is there any easier way to provide a block an item sprite just like any other 2d items? I am using minecraft:item_visual, I was gonna just use blockbench extruded textures but for some reason it doesn't work for the inventory icon.

Going with this method instead of simply just using a secondary item with minecraft:block_placer component because I need to hide the item from creative inventory, and for custom items, if I try to hide them by setting category to none, they also get invalid for commands, despite is_hidden_in_commands being set to false

upbeat jewel
#

for the item visual you need to scale that up

silent mountain
#

oh oops i thought my message sent before, but it's fixed!

#

the top part of the chest had a weird scale, 14.8 x 5 x 14.8

does anyone know how to make a block with custom models have transparent texture?

desert vector
smoky swallow

Is there anyone have a template for a script that allows block to have another block on top when it is placed. The block on top is a custom block that will make like 2 height?

are stair collision boxes possible for custom blocks? they do in the better end addon but idk how

vestal marsh

#

do you know how they do it in the better end addon?

west rover

it can be but it places another block that simulates the other collision

#

although the selection box can only be a slab

austere fossil
#

interesting, how is the other block able to have collision outside of its cube?

west rover
#

i made a template for it

austere fossil
#

Yeah my custom stairs already us ethe slab hitbox and geometry, I was asking about the altered hitbox

it places another block

arctic rose

Any way to get a custom block to use the grass tinting?

vestal marsh
arctic rose
#

I'm guessing I'm either doing something wrong or choosing the wrong texture or render method

#

It's not tinting the right regions of the side texture

arctic rose
#

I.... sorta got it working by making an untinted clone of the grass side texture, but the dirt is tinted.

#

It has an alpha channel... but it seems to be ignored

#

anyone know what might be going on here?

vestal marsh

tall zenithBOT
vestal marsh
#

I don't think it's a bug, might just be not supported. Who knows.

arctic rose
#

Seems like one to me, considering the fundamental change in behavior if you're tinting via material instance, or in the texture definition. Very inconsistent.

vestal marsh
arctic rose
#

Not to mention inconsistent with vanilla behaviour

vestal marsh
#

Not necessarily. Sometimes Mojang does slow rollouts on new features.

arctic rose
#

and it behaves different than the built-in grass tint as well

vestal marsh
#

Overlay is different than tint though iirc.

arctic rose
#

Built-in grass tint doesn't ignore alpha

#

but custom grass tint... does.

#

It's stupid and inconsistent.

#

Hey, I was wondering if anybody has Minecraft Bedrock modding experience here? I've created a mod and need someone to review it for potential bugs or redundancies.

#

I don't need a tester, it's a mod that's supposed to make a block that acts similar to a jukebox but plays only the predetermined music, then loops.

#

I just want somebody to go through the files to make sure I'm not a complete idiot.

Is it true that blast resistance for addons is the value we set multiplied by 5 instead of the value we set itself?

desert vector
#

so for cobblestone explosion_resistance should be 30

tawny falcon
desert vector
#

no

#

the wiki lists cobblestone's blast resistance as 6

tawny falcon
desert vector
#

so explosion_resistance is 6 x 5

#

30

Oh yes, now I understand

Is there any performance issue or concern when using one big texture for blocks that use 2 or more textures?

For example, logs. They use one texture for up and down faces, and another one for the side faces. Will there be any difference if I just use a 16x32 texture?

#

I want to reduce the amount of files I have, but I don’t want to have any negative impact in performance or anything else.

Where I took the main model, duplicated it, disabled the top and bottom faces, and then applied the grass with tinting and alpha_test

Basically took advantage of the fact that grass block sides use an alpha channel for the mask, to make the parts I want shaded to draw on top of an unshaded version.

I have blocks that appear darkened. The problem occurs because some part of the block is beyond the 16x16x16 frame. There's no way to remove this effect using some material and value. I've tried setting

how to make connectable block?

desert vector
#

I'd try to avoid it
your options are:

  • instant connection, weird destruction cracks, limited to removing parts of a model (culling rules)
  • slow connection, bad for performance, may use a lot of permutations or go over the permutation limit (block states + block with onTick script)
  • slow connection, will not cause the block connection to update if not placed or destroyed by a player, may use a lot of permutations or go over the permutation limit (block states + script checking for player place and destroy)

+piston movements and explosion if you really want to fully simulate it

Should I use a custom geometry that looks like a regular block for this?

A Boolean locking UV orientation of all bones in the geometry, or an array of strings locking UV orientation of specific bones in the geometry. For performance reasons it is recommended to use the Boolean. Note that for cubes using Box UVs, rather than Per-face UVs, 'uv_lock' is only supported if the cube faces are square.

When using tint_method is it possible for a texture in tga to apply the color only to the visible parts instead of the entire block? Like a grass block for example

no, that's why grass sides don't use the regular biome tinting

#

you have to overlay 2 separate textures using multiple cubes

tawny falcon
desert vector
#

yes

tawny falcon
desert vector
#

yes

tawny falcon
#

But how could this be applied? Using permutation to create a different appearance for a piece of geometry?

#

I thought it worked like items, just apply the color to the visible part

desert vector
#

no
items don't support translucency so they can always use the alpha channel for tint intensity

the way i suggested is the only workaround that i know of

#

For placing and taking wine you would need 2048 permutations

#

Or states that would add up to 2048

#

4(minecraft:cardinal_direction) x 2^9(9 boolean states that dictate wether a wine is in a specific slot or not) and you can't even just do 9 boolean values because iirc you're limited to 4 custom states

#

So you'd have to figure out some integer bs for each combination

#

If personally split them into 3 states for the top middle and bottom row

desert vector
#

i don't think there's a limit on how many states your block has, only overall permutations

#

the issues currently would be:

  • interacting with specific slots (the api that would allow for this is bugged)
  • custom blocks cannot emit redstone/comparator power

                    "name": "minecraft:stone"
                }]

Why can't I place the block on any other block, not even minecraft:stone?
vocal rune
#

is it possible to make a custom block like scaffolding

split flicker
white bobcat
#

If is for placing, yes, but keep in mind that in vanilla the collision is accurate to the geometry, something that you currently can't do. Upon correct interaction (use https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/precise-interaction), place another of your block on top if can. This is a simplified explanation but it hopefully helps.

#

For climbing, you really can't match vanilla, but you can use things like applyImpulse in scripting to attempt and replicate it.

odd

lost vine
#

maybe cuz im using 1.21.50 format version

#

idk

desert vector
#

no it's because item_specific_speeds is a weird feature that doesn't exist in vanilla so if you're trying to replicate vanilla definitely don't use it

#

just add the appropriate destructible tag to your block

#

then vanilla tools will automatically mine your block faster

lost vine
desert vector
#

anything that ends in _item_destructible will change how tools destroy your block

#

i see

that would make applying tags based on permutation painful
imo tags shouldn't be a component

that is impossible

Is there a way to increment a block state using scripts? Trying to see if I can get a specific state from a block when interacted with then change that state to the next.

vestal marsh
#

Oh, interaction, then onInteract Custom Component.

novel mantle
#

Yea I've got the on interact custom component and I'm getting the state with const currentState = block.permutation.getState("test:type"). Im just unsure how you increment that or get the next State available and change to it.

desert vector
#

is it an integer state?

vestal marsh
#

I have a custom component library, this one advances the state via random tick.

novel mantle
#

I'm not the best at reading typescript, but I dont think that contains what I was looking for. I should be more specific, I currently have a couple blocks that all use "test:type" block state but the state values within differ from each other. So I was wanting to get the test:type block state when the custom component is triggered then cycle through the states that specific block had. If this isn't possible I do have another work around this was just a test on my part.

vestal marsh
novel mantle
#

Yea so Example block A could have test:type = [green. red, blue] and block B could have test:type = [yellow, purple, orange, cyan]. I was just testing to see if I could get the state test:type and its length and then increment to the next state dynamically rather then having to manually define the possible state values for each different block that uses test:type.

desert vector
#

We can't get valid state values per block type so you'd have to name the states differently
or i guess you could duplicate the array of valid values as a custom component parameter

vestal marsh
#

I recommend the latter.

#

I do use that for another project of mine.

novel mantle
vestal marsh
desert vector
#

yes
the custom component can have a boolean/number/object/array/string value assigned to it
if you don't want other parameters you could do this

"components": {
  "test:type_iteration": ["red", "green"]
}
novel mantle
#

Oh then that could actually work for what I need. Thanks for the help guys.

vestal marsh
#

And thank you actually! This conversation made me realise I should update my custom component library to use this method instead.

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(ev => {
    try {

        const loc = ev.block.location;

        const below = dim.getBlock({ x: loc.x, y: loc.y - 1, z: loc.z });
        const above = dim.getBlock({ x: loc.x, y: loc.y + 1, z: loc.z });

        const touchingProtected =
            (below && PROTECTED_BLOCK_IDS.has(below.typeId)) ||
            (above && PROTECTED_BLOCK_IDS.has(above.typeId));

        if (touchingProtected) {

You might need a placement filter for that so that the stem breaks when your block breaks

Had a quick question. If I have a custom block that has ticking component to trigger a custom component and I save it in a structure, does that structure save the current tick that block is already on or should the custom block reset at 0 and tick up from there when loaded?
