Introduction

Welcome to the BlueCommander More Blocks Generator! This generator lets you create blocks to use in your world without doing any command blocks or texture pack work!

For this to work, you MUST have the data pack installed into your world and the resource pack enabled. A very special feature of this is neither of these need to be edited after first installation!

Installing the Data Pack and Resource Pack

Click to download the 1.16 Data Pack

Click to download the 1.16 Resource Pack

Note: File names have changed since these images were taken!


Installation:
For Data Pack:
• Download the data pack above, you do NOT need to unzip it!

?

• Locate your '.minecraft' saves folder.

?

• Click on the world you want to add the data pack too.

?

• Open the 'datapacks' folder and drag-and-drop the download into there.

?

• Once inside your world do '/reload'.

?

• The data pack should now be installed!

?

• You will get a 'Block Book', this will list all of the blocks you have created and different things you can do with them. To get this book back if you lose it, do: '/trigger blockbook'.

?

For Resource Pack:
• Download the resource pack above, you do NOT need to unzip it!

?

Once the data pack and resource pack is installed, you can create your own blocks here!
This generator will give you a command to run that will add the block you designed to your 'Block Book'. In the 'Block Book' you can do several things with this block - one being collecting it.

DON'T KILL ALL ENTITIES (eg '/kill @e[type=!player]') as this creation uses armor stands to store your blocks.

Stage 1: Design * = required

Texture *

? For the texture, paste in a custom skull give command. I recommend this or this website for a list of cool heads. If you would like to use an IGN, use this website to convert the IGN to the correct format.

Preview:

Show hat layer in preview:

If the texture looks white or weird with the hat - try hide the hat preview as it sometimes looks weird!

Other Design Options

- Directional?

? An example of a directional block in Minecraft would be logs.

- Traits that may affect the design (such as it giving off light) can be done on the next page.

What is a real block?

'Real Block' is a term that I made up, it is the block in the vanilla game that resembles your new block the most. For example if my custom block was an ore I might choose a diamond ore for my 'Real Block'.
Don't worry! The only things that are influenced by this are:
1)The time it takes to mine the block
2)The tools that speed up the mining process
3)The particles
4)Any traits.
So the Real Block simply gives an idea of what type of block it is. It DOESN'T effect:
1)The drops
2)Whether a tool is required for the drop
3)What level of tool is needed to mine it
4)XP drops
5)Everything else(Those were ones that may be confused).
Everything not in the first list can be customised as usual.

Traits

These are special uses. All traits your block has are inherited from the real block. So if you want an inventory for example, choose a barrel. Here is a list of examples of traits you might want to consider:

Trait List

These will be moved into their own options in future options but for now this is how to have these traits in your block.

Trait List

• Explosive (TNT)
• Provides Power (Redstone Block)
• Bouncy (Slime Block)
• Spawns Things (Spawner, Infested Block)
• Plays Music (Juke Box, Noteblock)
• Unbreakable (Bedrock, Barrier)
• Instant Break (Slime Block, TNT..)
• Runs Commands (Command Block, Repeating Command Block..)
• Emits Light (Sea Lantern, Glowstone..)
• Container (Barrel, Hopper..)
• Recipes (Crafting Table, Furnace..)
• Has Gravity (Sand, Gravel..)
etc...

Stage 3: Drops * = required

Drops Itself?

? True by default. If unselected then an option to choose the alternative drop item will appear.

- Item ID *

? The item that will drop instead of itself.

- Item Count *

? How many items will drop. 1 by default.

- Item NBT

? The NBT for the drop item.

Tools Required For Drop?

? False by default. Leave false if you want the player to be able to get the drop no matter what tool or item they are using.

Tool - Pickaxe Tool - Axe Tool - Shovel Tool - Shears

? Uncheck the checkbox if you don't want any tool required for the item to drop.

Level - Any Level Level - Stone+ Required Level - Iron+ Required Level - Silk Touch Required

? How strong the tool you specified needs to be.

XP Dropped?

? False by default. If selected then an option to choose the amount of xp dropped will appear.

? Adding XP drops is only advised if it doesn't drop itself - otherwise the players can keep breaking it to duplicate XP. The XP amount is measured in points not levels. The amount of points in a level increases.

Data Pack Integration

This System can be used for those who wish to make their own vanilla modpacks / data packs. If you are one of these people - you can do the following steps to integrate your data pack to my system:

• Extract my data pack and drag-and-drop the contents of my more blocks folder into your data folder.
• Adjust your minecraft tick.json to run moreblocks:main and your minecraft load.json to run moreblocks:reset
• These two steps are optional but are highly recommended so that the player doesn't have to download my data pack and yours. However do not remove any of my credits from my pack or claim you did it all.
• Next add all of the blocks to your pack so that the player doesn't have to. To do this just add all the the generated commands into your function that runs on reload. You do not need to worry about duplications of reload as my commands already deal with that.

That being said, this is not the most efficient way to make custom blocks, so I do not recommend using it. This was simply used to be user friendly and require no coding, but if you are familiar coding I recommend looking elsewhere for better, more efficient methods.
