📦 Block Types

Block types are helpful to determine what happens (item drops, block regen..) when you break a block.

By distinguishing these block types MMOCore can apply different behaviours to them. Using player skulls with custom texture, you can setup small ore blocks which are a great addition for building. Using MI custom blocks you can have blocks with new textures, breaking speed and fully configurable drop tables.

Available Block Types

The following table provides all block types that are supported by the MMOCore custom mining system.

Block Type	Description	Example
MMOItems Custom Block	When mining a MMOItems custom block.	mmoitems{id=6}
Player Head	When mining a player head with a custom texture.	skull{value="aZd9fE8...48dfQX="}
Noteblock	When mining a noteblock.	note{note=1;instrument=PIANO}
Mushroom Block	When mining a mushroom block.	mushroom{type=MUSHROOM_STEM,faces="NORTH,EAST"}
Vanilla Block	When mining any other block. Fallback.	vanilla{type=DIAMOND_ORE}

Notes:

• For player heads/skulls with textures, you need to provide the Base64 texture value of the skull, not the texture URL.
• For noteblocks, the note is from 1 to 24. The list of intruments can be found in the Spigot javadocs.
• For mushroom blocks, possible types are MUSHROOM_STEM, RED_MUSHROOM_BLOCK and BROWN_MUSHROOM_BLOCK. Available faces are UP, DOWN, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST.

Example config

This is a small part of the default config for the Mining profession.

on-mine:
    emerald:
        material: vanilla{type=EMERALD_ORE}
        drop-table:
            items:
            - 'vanilla{type=EMERALD} 1 1-9'
        vanilla-drops: false
        regen:
            time: 2000
            temp-block: skull{value="long_texture_value_here"}

This config makes the vanilla emerald ore block drop 1 to 9 emeralds (and cancels vanilla drops), and replace it temporarily (100 seconds = 2.000 ticks) by a custom textured skull. This means you can also use these block types to chose what temporary block should be placed after breaking a specific block.

Extra Options

You may use the age vanilla block type option to spawn back fully/partially grown crops using block regen. The following example would spawn back fully grown wheat crops after a wheat block is broken. vanilla{type=WHEAT,age=7}
