Custom Blocks

With CustomThings you can add blocks with a variety of different properties.

Here are the fields for custom blocks:

Field Name	Type	Description	Default
type	String	Defines the "material" and sound the block has. It must be one of: rock, dirt, wood, metal, grass, glass, wool, leaf, snow (not case sensitive).	"rock"
shape	String	Defines the "shape" of the block. It must be one of: normal, stair, slab, falling. Normal is a standard 1x1x1 cube. Stair is a stair block and slab is a slab block (duh). Falling means the block will have gravity, i.e. gravel/sand.	"normal"
hardness	Float	Defines how long it takes to break the block.	0.3f
resistance	Float	Defines how much explosion power it takes to break the block.	0.5f
harvestLevel	Integer	The tool level is needed to mine the block. 0 - none, 1 - wood / gold, 2 - iron, 3 - diamond. There is no limit on this number (ex. Tcon manyullyn is mining level 5).	0
toolType	String	What tool is effective on this block. Vanilla tool types are "pickaxe", "shovel", "axe", and "sword". Other mods can add other types.	"" (none)
isOpaque	Boolean	If this block is opaque of not. If a block is opaque it will prevent blocks from rendering behind it, and do other things like kill grass. If this is false, the block can be "see-through" without causing rendering issues.	true
lightLevel	Integer	The light level of the block. This is a number from 0 to 15. For example, a torch is 14, and glowstone is 15.	0
maxStackSize	Integer	Works the same as the item field, defines the max stack size this block can have as an item.	64
drops	String Array	The drops from this block. Use the standard notation for defining an ItemStack, with one extra thing. You are able to specify the stack size as a range, i.e. "minecraft:redstone;0#4-10". This line will drop anywhere from 4 to 10 redstone dust from each block mined.	[] (drops itself)
minXp	Integer	Minimum XP that can drop from this block when broken. Not recommended to be changed if the block drops itself.	0
maxXp	Integer	Maximum XP that can drop from this block when broken. Not recommended to be changed if the block drops itself.	0
textureMap	String Array	Map of sides to texture. Each string is the exact texture name for the given side. For example if you use the String "derp" for side 4, the texture for the side 4 will be derp.png. This is in order of the Minecraft sides, so 0=down, 1=up, 2=north, 3=south, 4=west, 5=east.	null (will use the standard [name].png texture)
