Can the .with() and .get() methods on block states cause them to hold custom data?
I have an idea to have 3 types of iron ore for a plugin that defines purity, low purity, medium, and high. They look the same, but drop different items, relative to the type of iron ore. How can I implement this?
Short answer: yes
Here’s the sponge docs, there should also be some examples in the cookbook.
finally here’s an example from one of my plugins, storing the block placer in a block.
Edit: see answer below
You cannot store custom data to BlockState
s. You can store custom data on TileEntity
, Entity
, and ItemStack
instances. The reason locations aren’t impelemented yet is that it’s difficult to keep track of the custom data for usage all the time, and the possibilities of expanding/exploding world storage sizes is somewhat astronomical to consider.
