Features

Opening/Closing

You can open and close the barrel by sneaking plus right-clicking the block.
This will play a sound and update the model for the block.
Most mechanics will only happen when the barrel is in the open state.

Unsupported Items

Any items that are not supported for the type of block or are not the same resource as the lowest slot id will be dropped on the ground next to the block.

Appearance

The block has two states open and closed. The top texture changes depending on the block being open or closed. When the block is open a custom texture of the resource using the same colour palette is displayed on the top of the barrel. When it's closed custom text is overlayed on the top of the barrel with the name of the resource.

Mechanics

Some blocks have unique properties and mechanics that can be used. When barrels are open some mechanics run.

• Barrels that store breeding items can be used to breed entities in a 16x16x16 area of the barrel.
• If mob griefing is enabled and the breeding mechanics are disabled then some barrels will attract entities.
• Gunpowder can be ignited using flint and steel or fire chargers when in the open state,
  this will then explode with a power depending on the amount of gunpowder in the barrel.
• Glint Textures are applied to models that are enchanted. This is mainly a texture feature.
• Some blocks such as glow berries, glowstone or glow ink sac items give off a bit of light when open.

NBT Variables

Block

Name	Type	Use
isOpen	Logic	Keeps track if the block is open or closed
breedingEnabled	Logic	Will keep track if the block is set to breed mode
type	String	Uses the "id" entry in the config file to set the block type
name	String	Used in the GUI block name stores the localization path for the block
attractTimer	Number	The timer that controls when entities should come to the block
breedTimer	Number	The timer that controls the delay between breeding times
explodePower	Number	The amount of power the block can explode with

Config Files

Name	Path	Use
barrels.json	game_dir/config/moreblox/	Config file that can be edited to add custom barrels

Example

Below you can find the config file that makes blocks work properly.

• "1" - This is an ID system using sub-objects, the script reads each ID the number of entries in the file. This means that adding new entries with the next number for its ID will work and allow support for custom entries.
  • "id" - This is the ID of the entry, make sure that it is not used in the file already or it could break mechanics. It's good practice to use namespace_item_name.
  • "open" - This is the block for the open model of the block. his should be the item namespace and registry of the block.
  • "closed" - This is the block for the closed model of the block. his should be the item namespace and registry of the block.
  • "resource" - This is the item for the resource that it should store. This should be the item namespace and registry of the item.
  • "attract_mob_tag" - This is an entity tag that entities should be attracted to the block. You can use the moreblox:empty tag to disable this feature.
  • "breed_mob_tag" - This is an entity tag that entities should be bread with the resource. You can use the moreblox:empty tag to disable this feature.
