Version:

The blockbuilder is used to… build blocks (you totally didn’t see that one coming, right… right?).
Once you created it you can set various properties which will be outlined by the separate methods.

You can also change the block’s type to create a more specialized form of block (e.g. stairs or Blocks that can be rotated in the same way logs can). To tell CoT that you want the block to appear ingame you need to call this#build(String) and specify a valid resource location path.

This class was added by a mod with mod-id contenttweaker. So you need to have this mod installed if you want to use this feature.

Importing the class

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import at the very top of the file.

import mods.contenttweaker.block.BlockBuilder;

Implemented Interfaces

BlockBuilder implements the following interfaces. That means all methods defined in these interfaces are also available in BlockBuilder

IIsBuilder

Constructors

Creates a new BlockBuilder.
Remember that this will not create a new block in the game, you need to call this#build(String) for that.

new BlockBuilder(material as MCMaterial) as BlockBuilder
new BlockBuilder(<blockmaterial:earth>);

Parameter	Type	Description	Optional	DefaultValue
Parameter material	Type MCMaterial	Description The material this block will have	Optional true	DefaultValue blockmaterial:iron

Methods

Instructs CoT that this block is not solid.

This is required if your model is not a full block (16x16x16). It is also required if your model is see-through (like glass). Set this if your block creates some X-Ray effects when it’s placed.

Returns: This builder, used for chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.notSolid() as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.notSolid();

Sets that the block is opaque, like vanilla glass.

Returns: The builder, used for method chaining.
Return Type: BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.opaque();

Sets that the block needs a tool to harvest.

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.setRequiresTool() as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.setRequiresTool();

Sets the block’s hardness and resistance levels. Unlike the other method, this one only accepts one parameter and will use that value for both properties.

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withHardnessAndResistance(0.5f);

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter hardnessAndResistance	Type float	Description The value to set for hardness and for resistance.

Sets the block’s hardness and resistance levels. Unlike the other method, this one allows you to set each property one to a separate value.

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.withHarvestLevel(harvestLevel as int) as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withHarvestLevel(3);

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter harvestLevel	Type int	Description The harvest level requried

Sets the tool required to harvest this block

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining

Sets the item group in which this block will appear

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.withItemGroup(group as ItemGroup) as BlockBuilder

Sets the jump factor.

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining

// BlockBuilder.withLightValue(lightValueIn as int) as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withLightValue(15);

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter lightValueIn	Type int	Description The light level to set

Will instruct CoT to override this block’s loot table with the one of the block Provided. Currently this will still create a loot table entry, though it will be ignored by the game.

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.withLootFrom(blockIn as MCBlock) as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withLootFrom(<block:minecraft:diamond>);

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter blockIn	Type MCBlock	Description The block whose loot table should be applied

Sets the maximum Stack size that this block can have when in your inventory. Will be 64 if unchanged.

Returns: This builder, used for chaining
Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.withMaxStackSize(size as int) as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withMaxStackSize(16);

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter size	Type int	Description The size to set.

Allows you to set the rarity of this block.

Return Type: BlockBuilder

// BlockBuilder.withRarity(rarity as string) as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withRarity("UNCOMMON");

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter rarity	Type string	Description The rarity

Sets the block’s render type. Will also set the block as this#notSolid() if the argument is not solid

Returns: This builder, used for method chaining

myBlockBuilder.withRenderType(BlockRenderType.TRANSLUCENT);

// BlockBuilder.withTickRandomly() as BlockBuilder

myBlockBuilder.withTickRandomly();

Sets the specific type of this block. After this method is called the builder’s context will switch to the more provided type builder. That means that the methods of this builder will no longer be available, so any properties you wish to set should be set before you call this method.
