Block types are helpful to determine what happens (item drops, block regen..) when you [break a block](Mining and Block Regen).
| Block Type | Description | Format Example |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla | When mining any block. | vanilla{type=DIAMOND_ORE} |
| MI Custom Block | When mining a MMOItems custom block. | mmoitems{id=6} |
| Player Head | When mining a custom textured player head. | skull{value="aZd9fE8...48dfQX="} |
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.
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}
