      The resulting state after the action has been performed

    • isScaffolding

      default boolean isScaffolding(BlockState state, LevelReader level, BlockPos pos, LivingEntity entity)
      Checks if a player or entity handles movement on this block like scaffolding.
      Parameters:
      state - The current state
      level - The current level
      pos - The block position in level
      entity - The entity on the scaffolding
      Returns:
      True if the block should act like scaffolding

    • canConnectRedstone

      default boolean canConnectRedstone(BlockState state, BlockGetter level, BlockPos pos, @Nullable Direction direction)
      Whether redstone dust should visually connect to this block on a given side

      The default implementation is identical to RedStoneWireBlock#shouldConnectTo(BlockState, Direction)

      RedStoneWireBlock updates its visual connection when BlockBehaviour.BlockStateBase.updateShape(Direction, BlockState, LevelAccessor, BlockPos, BlockPos) is called, this callback is used during the evaluation of its new shape.

      Parameters:
      state - The current state
      level - The level
      pos - The block position in level
      direction - The coming direction of the redstone dust connection (with respect to the block at pos)
      Returns:
      True if redstone dust should visually connect on the side passed

      If the return value is evaluated based on level and pos (e.g. from BlockEntity), then the implementation of this block should notify its neighbors to update their shapes when necessary. Consider using BlockBehaviour.BlockStateBase.updateNeighbourShapes(LevelAccessor, BlockPos, int, int) or BlockBehaviour.BlockStateBase.updateShape(Direction, BlockState, LevelAccessor, BlockPos, BlockPos).

      Example:

      1. yourBlockState.updateNeighbourShapes(level, yourBlockPos, UPDATE_ALL);

      2. neighborState.updateShape(fromDirection, stateOfYourBlock, level, neighborBlockPos, yourBlockPos), where fromDirection is defined from the neighbor block's point of view.

    • hidesNeighborFace

      default boolean hidesNeighborFace(BlockGetter level, BlockPos pos, BlockState state, BlockState neighborState, Direction dir)
      Whether this block hides the neighbors face pointed towards by the given direction.

      This method should only be used for blocks you don't control, for your own blocks override BlockBehaviour.skipRendering(BlockState, BlockState, Direction) on the respective block instead

      WARNING: This method is likely to be called from a worker thread! If you want to retrieve a BlockEntity from the given level, make sure to use IForgeBlockGetter.getExistingBlockEntity(BlockPos) to not accidentally create a new or delete an old BlockEntity off of the main thread as this would cause a write operation to the given BlockGetter and cause a CME in the process. Any other direct or indirect write operation to the BlockGetter will have the same outcome.

      Parameters:
      level - The world
      pos - The blocks position in the world
      state - The blocks BlockState
      neighborState - The neighboring blocks BlockState
      dir - The direction towards the neighboring block

    • supportsExternalFaceHiding

      default boolean supportsExternalFaceHiding(BlockState state)
      Whether this block allows a neighboring block to hide the face of this block it touches. If this returns true, IForgeBlockState.hidesNeighborFace(BlockGetter, BlockPos, BlockState, Direction) will be called on the neighboring block.

    • onBlockStateChange

      default void onBlockStateChange(LevelReader level, BlockPos pos, BlockState oldState, BlockState newState)
      Called after the BlockState at the given BlockPos was changed and neighbors were updated. This method is called on the server and client side. Modifying the level is disallowed in this method. Useful for calculating additional data based on the new state and the neighbor's reactions to the state change.
      Parameters:
      level - The level the state was modified in
      pos - The blocks position in the level
      oldState - The previous state of the block at the given position, may be a different block than this one
      newState - The new state of the block at the given position

    • getMapColor

      default MaterialColor getMapColor(BlockState state, BlockGetter level, BlockPos pos, MaterialColor defaultColor)
      Returns the MaterialColor shown on the map.
      Parameters:
      state - The state of this block
      level - The level this block is in
      pos - The blocks position in the level
      defaultColor - The MaterialColor configured for the given BlockState in the BlockBehaviour.Properties
