how to waterlogged in custom block by using custom components

[coral heart]

When the player interacts with the custom leave with the water bucket item and it becomes waterlogged and solid like vanilla leaves. And how do I do that?

[final tartan]

I'm not really sure cause when you try to waterlogged a custom block it throws an error....

@azure fern Sorry for ping you did make a custom block that can be waterlogged right?

[azure fern]

Yea

[azure fern]

You have to place a waterlogged vanilla block and save it in a structure. Then replace the ID of the vanilla block with the ID of your custom leaves.

After that, you’ll just detect when a player interacts with your block using a water bucket, and load the structure, change the item to a bucket and play the water sound

This actually works?

I wonder what else you could cheese with structure files

[azure fern]

Yeah it works, is what I made for my slab template, feel free to try it out https://github.com/Kaioga5/Kaioga-s-Block-Templates/tree/main/templates/1.20.80/slab

[magic crow]

Awesome I will

This is the waterlogging logic I made:

// Check if the selected item is a water bucket and the block is not waterlogged or double
            if (selectedItem?.typeId === 'minecraft:water_bucket' && !block.permutation.getState('kai:waterlogged') && !block.permutation.getState('kai:double')) {
                // Play sound effect
                player.playSound('bucket.empty_water');
                // If not in creative mode, replace water bucket with empty bucket
                if (player.getGameMode() !== "creative") {
                    equipment.setEquipment('Mainhand', new ItemStack('minecraft:bucket', 1));
                }
                // Set block to waterlogged and place corresponding structure
                block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState('kai:waterlogged', true));
                const verticalHalf = block.permutation.getState('minecraft:vertical_half');
                // Split the block identifier and use only the part after the colon
                const slabType = block.typeId.split(':')[1];
                // These structures contains your slab waterlogged, made with an NBT editor
                const structureName = (verticalHalf === 'bottom') ? `mystructure:${slabType}_bottomSlab` : `mystructure:${slabType}_topSlab`;
                const { x, y, z } = block;
                world.structureManager.place(structureName, e.dimension, { x, y, z });
            }

Can you really just do id:${string}?

That's going to make my life so much easier

[azure fern]

Yeah

[magic crow]

Can it search tables when plugged in like that?

[azure fern]

Probably

[magic crow]

Nice

[coral heart]

I mean simple way like . iswaterlogged = true, like that

[azure fern]

No that's not how it works

[final tartan]

Only works on vanilla blocks not custom sadly....

[coral heart]

Well

[slate coral]

I tried this template and my addon is complaining that the waterlogged block .mcstructures don't have a namespace. Is there any current fix?

[azure fern]

Did you changed the identifier?

Of the slab without touching the mcstructure file or vice-versa?

[slate coral]

I opened the mcstructure and changed the block id to my custom blocks' ids.

?

[azure fern]

Don't fish for answers in other channels please

[azure fern]

What error did you received?

[slate coral]

The bottom two.

[azure fern]

Let’s see the script

Looking at this make me realize I need to remove "const verticalHalf = block.permutation.getState('minecraft:vertical_half');"

Please, no screenshots or photos!

Screenshots are hard to read, and photos even more so. This is especially true if you are using bridge or another tree editor, as this format obscures the JSON format.

We can help you best if you copy and paste your code here, or send it directly as a file.

You don't need .mystructure file extension but mystructure: namespace

[slate coral]

is "mystructure:" replaceable with my own namespace?

[limber geyser]

no

you'll get a namespace error

[slate coral]

It works! Thank you so much!

[azure fern]

No problem 👍

@azure fern how to change ID

[slate coral]

open the .mcstructure file and navigate to [structure > palette > default > block_palette] and locate your placeholder waterlogged block and change the id to the id of your custom block.
