i already looked at the code for this block, but nothing about light dampening or emission appears.

#

What queries can you use in permutations? Is it just q.block_state?

whole oyster
#

I fixed it, nevermind it

#

Does anyone know how I could make my tnt block explode in "chain reaction" (make it explode when it comes in contact with an explosion)

balmy quiver
#

i need help 😭

#

What is the best way to check when a custom block is powered by redstone?

#

I'm not sure if ticking is the way to go

Aw man

Thank you

hi there, what is the default friction a vanilla block uses?

desert vector

#

Hey yall, idk if I’m out of the loop or this just hasn’t changed. Does anyone know, do we still not have a way to make block inventories or like furnaces without using the “fake block” entity technique?

#

minecraft:light_dampening (default is 15 which blocks everything)

mild mist
whole oyster
#

I made it

mild mist
#

Im gonna have to write a script for a custom 'suspicious' block huh?

#

like.. theres not an easier way?

#

how do I make an item drop only without a certain enchantment, using loot_tables?

odd dagger
#

oh, without?

#

not sure if you can

white bobcat
#

Is better at the end of the day anyway

wet mist
#

Loot tables seems completely fine. Why complicate something for the same outcome instead of loot tables? Now, this is one slight issue that I have notice with the match_tool condition, it will still drop if you use your hands with nothing in them, might be a bug.

desert vector
#

I think this works

{
  "condition": "match_tool",
  ...
  "count": {
    "range_min": 1
  }
}
#

If not you can just do "count": 1 for unstackable items

#

Would I need custom components to detect a block getting powered by redstone or should it be done through scripting?

Did they remove the air block? It wont work in my custom blocks environment sensor anymore

wet mist
rotund badge
#

My bad, its for entity inside block confused myself

wet mist
#

air everywhere

#

Where there is no blocks

rotund badge
#

Is the json filtering, as my custom invisible entity is supposed to despawn if it is inside the air block (minecraft:air)

#

But it just suddenly stopped working

#

This update, not sure If its the entities 1.16 version

#

If the entity is inside the air block it despawns

#

It starts out inside a custom block

wet mist
#

Ask in the Entity General if they anyone else has similar issues or if they know how to fix it

rotund badge
#

To prevent memory leak by leaving entities everywhere by accident

wet mist
#

They might know more

How to copy this texture to the other side of the block???

Hello, How can I make a structure placed when a block item is placed? It should place the blocks seperately
The idea is to make it full block model and divide it into parts to make it look like a structure, so when you place the blocks, they will all set the location and rotation accordinigly and will look like a whole structure as multiple blocks.

i rechecked the file names and stuff idk what the problem is

# dense matrix Ohhh

By doing something like this world.structureManager.place(structure, dimension, spawnLoc, {rotation: structRot});, it will use the Script API to do summon. That piece of code it part of a bigger section that I have done for the item placing structure.

dense matrix
#

Thank you very much

#

Woulnt structure rotation opposite of player rotation

wet mist

It works by Custom Components and its Custom Parameters.

how does random_offset work? the code below doesnt have any effect in-game

"minecraft:random_offset": {
                "x": {
                    "steps": 8,
                    "range": {
                        "min": -0.1,
                        "max": 0.1
                    }
                },
                "y": {
                    "steps": 0,
                    "range": {
                        "min": 0,
                        "max": 0
                    }
                },
                "z": {
                    "steps": 8,
                    "range": {
                        "min": -0.1,
                        "max": 0.1
                    }
                }
            }

btw if you don't want to offset on the y axis you should be able to just remove y

oof Im looking for a 1:1 recreation of a regular stone block, but blockbenchs template is far off from what the default block is actually like

#

does somebody know what values a default stone block has?

#

this is what I got

"components": {
    "minecraft:collision_box": true,

got it!

#

it was adding
"ambient_occlusion": true,
"render_method": "opaque"

desert vector
#

same with collision/selection box

jagged wind
#

ok

#

Are there any events or methods that trigger when a block is placed via world gen?

#

Cuz my block is being placed by world gen, but neither ticking nor the onPlace custom component trigger. And last resort is to loop through every chunk and every block

odd dagger
jagged wind
#

yea doesnt work

odd dagger
#

well maybe it cant do anything because the chunk isnt loaded at the time it triggers.

jagged wind
#

ig

odd dagger
#

or maybe the block being generated doesnt count as being "placed"

#

idk

jagged wind
#

thats why I had my hopes up on the ticking component, because it would run next tick anyway

odd dagger
#

i thought onTick was fixed when it comes to world generation

jagged wind
#

wtf does this error mean

can someone explain why this block isnt loading into the game? a test block using everything the block already has but without the minecraft:queued_ticking component and custom event was able to load just fine so i know the issue is in here. ive double checked the block documentation and everything looks in order, nor are there any syntax errors in the full JSON, im fully out of ideas

//this is in the components array

Added new field embeddedto the item_display_transforms object

    The field defines the overall transformation this geometry should be subject to when embedded into a block, eg. a Flowerpot
    If the field is not defined, the default transformation is a 0.75x scale, similar to the one applied to most Vanilla flowers


"minecraft:geometry": {
                "identifier": "geometry.cross",
                "item_display_transforms": {
                    "embedded": {
                        "translation": [0, -0.4, 0],

                    }
                }

this has no effect for a custom block embedded in a flower pot for some reason. Anybody know why?

I have question: Do any of you guys know the identifier for chalkboards? Like for block?
According to wiki its - minecraft:chalkboard. But it's not working through command setblock. Any idea how I can find it?

Can you overwrite the vanilla block drops? Like make netherrack not drop netherrack but a custom block?

the item_specific_speed only accounts for it being a shovel afaik

Quick question, anyone used the minecraft:stone_crafting_materials or the minecraft:stone_tool_materials tags?

I’m my experience they have never worked, i’m wondering if anyone has had a different outcome

hard current
#

For those that mess with texture packs I’ve been doing the images and my friend has been arranging the pngs, doing the compiling etc. They’re however having an issue finding the right file for certain blocks, namely the grass on the side of the dirt which he can’t find in the block for, and despite putting images ive given him for leaves its still only showing the vanilla renditions. Any suggestions for what is being done wrong? XD

Would it be possible to dynamically offset a block's texture? I want to have the block's texture move around but keep the hitbox in the same spot

tawny falcon
vestal marsh
inner garden
# vestal marsh COuld you elaborate a bit more?

I'm just brainstorming possible approaches. I want to try and make a movable "block" or at least the texture of a block that can be placed offset from the world's grid. I was wondering if I could offset a block texture to do that, but it only really works if I can do that dynamically with scripts or something.

#

This is likely not the best approach tho. I'll probably make an entity with a block texture

desert vector
#

I think you mean geometry rather than texture

inner garden
#

Ah, yeah that makes sense

#

I forgot about geometry. Can a block's geometry use variables for its values?

desert vector
#

The point of blocks is that they are fixed to the grid. Entities serve the purpose of objects that move or can be placed at any position so making an entity that looks like a block would probably be best.

vestal marsh
#

Random offset component or is that not what you want?

inner garden
#

Well nvm, I can just set the min and max to the same number

#

That might work

white bobcat

non-random is just minecraft:transformation with rotation

Suddenly all the features I add don't appear in the world, I even created a new world but they don't appear if I delete the ones already registered they are deleted, but if I add new feature files in the features folder they are not registered, is there a limit?

inner garden
#

What do you mean by features? Is it entirely blocks that don't show up in game?

glass flicker
inner garden
#

Like /structure load? Or a different kind of structure?

glass flicker
#

Yes a structure

glass flicker
# glass flicker Yes a structure

It's not a structure problem because if I put the same structure path in an existing feature it works, so I don't understand why new features are no longer recorded.

inner garden
#

I don't think that command has any auto complete so try typing out the name of the structure and the rest of the command

glass flicker
glass flicker
# glass flicker No, I mean /place feature ....

I don't understand what's happening because even if I delete existing feature files and create new ones they are not registered in the game, so I don't think there are any limits seeing the vanilla package

inner garden
#

Oh ok, I'm not too sure about that. I've never used that command

IIRC they need to be placed by a feature rule to appear in the /place feature autocomplete

#

We can change the texture of a block depending on a state?

#

like if "turned_on" is set to false it's just a normal texture, but if it's set to true, the block uses a flipbook texture

vestal marsh
#

Permutations.

astral rivet
#

With "minecraft:redstone_conductivity", do we have a way to read that power yet? From the design of Bedrock I'm guessing we won't get a scripting event on block power directly, but it'd be nice if I could read the incoming power

vestal marsh
astral rivet
vestal marsh
#

Im confused now.

astral rivet
#

Sorry, I'm terrible at explaining. I have a block which I want to do something in scripting with when it gets powered/unpowered

vestal marsh
#

Correct, so right now you would need the ticking component to detect the power level.

astral rivet
vestal marsh
#

Yes.

astral rivet
#

OH this could actually be super helpful if I'm understanding right. Does this also mean if a custom block is emitting power, I can use this to make sure it actually changes to a powered state if I change to a permutation with a different power level?

vestal marsh
#

Yeah.

astral rivet
#

Right now I have to set the block to air, then set it back to the new permutation to actually update the output power

#

EPIC! tysm! Got a lot of reading and learning to do as this is huge for me 😂

astral rivet
# vestal marsh Yeah.

Sorry, I'm probably going wrong somewhere, but just to confirm this is for the redstone_producer component? I added this to the main block component as well as trying a non-looping tick to each permutation, I've been searching through messages in the server and I've heard a few people mention bugs relating to redstone power. Not sure if I was just doing it wrong?

Alternatively, if you mean something like connectable glass, use culling rules to enable and disable certain bones of a geometry. You need a very specific geometry setup though, is quite complicated.

is it valid to set the cardinal orientation permutations for the transformation component AND a material instance depending on other state separately? or do i have to define every possible permutation?

#

for example:

  {
    "condition": "q.block_state('minecraft:cardinal_direction') == 'north'",
    "components": {
      "minecraft:transformation": { "rotation": [ 0, 0, 0 ] }
    }
  }, //...and so on with every other cardinal direction
  {
    "condition": "q.block_state('titi:turned_on') == true",
    "components": {
      "minecraft:material_instances": {
        "*": {
          "texture": "titi:block_on"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "condition": "q.block_state('titi:turned_on') == false",
    "components": {
      "minecraft:material_instances": {
        "*": {
          "texture": "titi:block_off"
        }
      }
    }
  }
]```
#

in this case, i would have to define just 6 permitations, 4 for rotation and 2 for the texture change depending on the "turned_on" state

#

but i was wondering if i would have to define the 8 possible permutations, direction and state inside the same condition

You can't repeat components in permutations or in the components section itself. That is why permutations exist, a combination of things. Permutations should never have repeated conditions, also.

minecraft:is_wooden_pickaxe etc. Are working

desert vector
#

that tag does not exist
wooden pickaxes have these tags:

  • minecraft:digger
  • minecraft:is_pickaxe
  • minecraft:is_tool
  • minecraft:wooden_tier
    the best way to do this would be to check for a custom item rather than checking that something isn't vanilla
    e.g. add a custom:is_pickaxe tag to the custom tools and check for that tag instead

yo chat, anybody know if PBR is supported for custom blocks? I created custom PBR files for vanilla blocks and it works fine, but when I create PBR files for custom blocks in the same addon, it doesnt work. PBR support is in the resource pack manifest btw

ohhh yeah the texture sets are set up by blockbench, i dont make them manually, so should work, right?

#

but it doesnt seem to 😔

brittle heath
fervent spade
#

like so

muejasan_lantern_standing_mer.png
#

should have a metallic tint and glow from the center

#

its in the same folder as the color texture as well

#

actually you think this could be because its not in the terrain texture file? let me see if that works

brittle heath
fervent spade
#

doesn't 😔

#

could this be caused by something in the .block file? im lost

brittle heath
#

there's something wrong but I can't seem to figure out what I did correctly that you didn't do.

fervent spade
#

its a block i made before the VV update

brittle heath
#

it could be with something with that. the blocks that I made that work with Vibrant Visuals were made after it released

fervent spade
#

yeah my .block file is 1.21.50

#

lets see if changing it to 60 does anything

brittle heath
#

lets see.

fervent spade
#

bruh i swear my addons are cursed

#

still doesnt work 💀

brittle heath
#

maybe it's with the model? I don't know, I am just as confused and I am also just guessing

📎 mirror.geo.json
fervent spade
#

cant be the model, I tried making a MER for a different custom block, didnt work either

brittle heath
#

hmmm, I don't know what it could be then. although it could be worth checking I guess. or it could be something with the manifest? maybe?

fervent spade
#

it does have pbr capabilities...

image.png
brittle heath
#

I was thinking about it's min_engine_version, although for my pack it's "min_engine_version": [1, 16, 0] but that version is long before VV

#

so I have no idea

fervent spade
#

oh yeah mines 1 16 0 as well

brittle heath
#

maybe it's something with the behavior pack manifest for some reason? how's the dependency?

brittle heath
fervent spade
#

yeah

brittle heath
#

hmmm. maybe it's pickier with blocks? I don't know, maybe for blocks it has to be 16x16? for both my custom blocks with MERs the texture is 16x16. although I still don't know if that's the reason, it is just a guess

You could use scripting to see if a player is inside the block and do /fog

ummmm.. how come when i setblock to minecraft:vault["ominous"=true] the vault doesnt work..? I tried getting around it by using a vanilla generated vault in a structure file, but it gives the same loot every time...

its location based... sigh.... goodbye reusable vaults...

Does anyone has a custom water that he can provide please?

Why not? You can use block states and scripting so the water spread etc. But I think it would still looks weird. I hope we can get something like water component or so

There's no reason you can't.

Guys, is it possible to get the decorated_pot vanilla model? Even the Java one, I don't mind. Because even when I download the .json file from the assets Java folder, Blockbench won't show anything

I suggest putting a notice on the page stating this.

i think it makes up around half the page

tawny falcon
#

Fortunately, the explosion limitation can be overcome by using a more precise custom component onBreak, since you can configure it so that if it's broken by explosions, it will release the loot. The difference is that you'll need to use a separate loot for explosions.

Oh yes, I checked the official changelog for items as well.

is there a certain file format to use for attachments for getting custom blocks to sit right in the players hand?

can I make blocks break faster if the item has efficiency????

they will do that automatically as long as the block has the correct tag

Light Dampening

The amount that light will be dampened when it passes through the block, in a range (0-15). Higher value means the light will be dampened more.

thats what the docs say

so it should work

Alright, thanks

you could use onTick and detect an entity near the block going towards it or jumping

then apply impulse or knockback

Is there any way to make a block only be placed on top of water, like lily pads?

desert vector

if you were making custom mob heads would you want them to have smaller destructions cracks like this

It also means there would be no wasted space in the texture atlas which I thought would be better

Ok ty

tawny falcon
# gaunt ocean Ok ty

There is a component that interacts with water, but this does not position the block.

Maybe the liquid_clipped

But i guess it will place the block inside the water

I'll see if i can get it to work

I'm going to guess there is no way to dynamically reference a texture to a block?

white bobcat
nova wolf
#

rip

#

I already use 40k permutations 🥲

#

I want to expand my Framed Blocks add-on, but I can't otherwise it wouldn't be able to be played with other add-ons

white bobcat
#

Best way would be to use entities

#

Or particles I suppose

nova wolf
#

True, but block entities just feel cheaty imo

white bobcat
#

But the most feasible approach would be using entities

nova wolf
#

Ye

#

I might have to tbh

#

Wait, can entities do dynamic textures?

white bobcat
#

They can hold items

nova wolf
#

Ahh

#

Also, when I first started making my add-on, if there was only 1 state with 15 variants, I could reference them all in a single block.json structure without using permutations

#

But when I want to make a block have more than 15 textures, it breaks

#

So I need to use permutations with many blocks

#

Instead of using a combination system

#

OMG

#

I'm a fucking idiot

#

I haven't been combining permutations

#

No wait, nvm that wouldn't work

#

forget my ramblings 🥲

tawny falcon

So it doesn't work very well in my case, I wanted to recreate this behavior of the doors, so without using the component the only way would be using tick? Currently

You could probably subscribe to a load of events that could result in support being lost but i don't think it's worth the effort

Given that the double blocks are close together, I don't think it will take much longer.

Why is my crop block encountering this error? Is there any way to fix it or where the error might be? I've been searching for a long time but still can't figure out the cause.

desert vector
#

the model is probably too big
placing a block with invalid geometry will prevent all custom blocks (and cobwebs) in that subchunk from rendering

digital furnace
#

This is its original model used for the Java version, and I used Blockbench to convert the model to the Bedrock Block format.

📎 banana_tree_5.json
digital furnace
#

How should I go about converting this model to the BE model format accurately?

digital furnace
#

Why do some of my textures often flicker like this? What causes it?

desert vector
#

The cross model displays the texture on both sides of each diagonal plane
That means you need to use a single-sided render method so that only one of the sides renders at a time
For that block you should be using alpha_test_single_sided

How do I fix this? Every time I place blocks on top, on the sides, or behind it, it gets this weird black shadow.

how do i make a block have a geometry outside the 16x16x16 limits?

models can go up to 14 pixels outside of the 16×16×16 unit
if you need more than that, you should be creating separate blocks

minecraft:breathability is depreciated.. is there a way to still do that?

I might be talking nonsense, but I think that currently the breathing of the blocks is dealt with by the collision.

It means that you are using different render methods within the same block. You must only use one now.
