Showcasing the temporary cobwebs and throwable TNT I've made today.

[steady storm]

Wow

[worthy anvil]

wow

[bitter furnace]

yeah more or less lmao

that and entityDespawn

[viral shuttle]

how did you made that cobweb?

[fickle scarab]

Would assume that he just detects when a cobweb is placed using the block place event and in return it will run a timeout on the block to set it to air

[bitter furnace]

not quite, I set dynamic properties to store information on the cobweb like duration and location, and then iterate through it

which, while admittedly overcomplicating it, is better because in the event that the chunk gets unloaded or the realm/server crashes it won't stay thyere permanentlly

[fickle scarab]

Oh cool

[viral shuttle]

is it possible for you to give me the code of that mechanism?

[bitter furnace]

I would, but it uses prototypes and other classes I've made so it would need to be recoded, I can send some psuedocode for it later on this post though if you'd like

[viral shuttle]

that would be awesome

[bitter furnace]

beforeBlockPlace  
  if (block is not cobweb) return and cancel
  set block dynamic property for the location and time to expire

runInterval
  for each block dynamic property
    if block timer has expired
      try to delete block and clear dynamic property (delete block first)
        catch and do nothing
