Advanced Blocks: Custom Behavior
You can customize how your blocks behave in the world by subclassing the Block class and overriding any of its event methods such as onInteract, onPlace, onExplode, etc.
These hooks are called automatically by AbyssalLib when the corresponding events occur in-game.
Create a new class that extends Block, and override the behavior methods you want to customize.
public class JumpBlock extends Block {
public JumpBlock(ResourceLocation id) {
super(id, Material.SLIME_BLOCK);
}
@Override
public void onStep(LivingEntity entity) {
entity.setVelocity(entity.getVelocity().add(new Vector(0, 1.5, 0)));
}
}Just like normal blocks, register your custom class using the DeferredRegistry.
public static final DeferredObject<Block> JUMP_BLOCK = BLOCKS.register("jump_block", (name, id) ->
new JumpBlock(id)
);You can override any of the following to respond to specific block events:
onPlace(BlockPlaceContext ctx)Called when the block is placed in the world.onBreak(BlockBreakContext ctx)Called when the block is broken.onInteract(BlockInteractContext ctx)Called when a player or entity interacts with the block (right-click\left-click).onStep(LivingEntity entity)Called when an entity steps on the block.onExplode(ExplodeContext ctx)Called when the block is affected by an explosion.onProjectileHit()Called when a projectile hits the block.
Blocks dont have custom models but rather use vanilla blocks
the class which extends Block MUST only take in the ID in the constructor!
