Forgot to discuss the resource pack. Essentially it uses custom model data on the item frame. Odd numbers = item in the frame, even = item players get. It’s included in the download for reference.
@@mathsupercat9021 no custom model data on an item that is put in an item frame. But the items are different model numbers so if the player gets it and puts it in a frame it looks normal
That’s actually not the point of this video. The loot table isn’t specific to spawners, in many cases u might find another block more suitable and less laggy. Maybe mushroom blocks if u don’t mind the mining speed and nature. If so just use same loot table for whatever that block is and the system will still work
I made my first custom block today thanks to this! I was experimenting with the /stopsound command for removing glass breaking sound, but using a spawner for a hard block is way better! Mojang really needs to give us more translucent blocks. I tried using stairs for stone but is was difficult to work with it. Thanks again!
if the model is *meant* to be transparent then you can simply change the block that is under to one that will work. with this system, all that matters is that A) there is a block under that doesnt make the model dark and B) the block under has a loot table which is drops some item with the same tags given in the spawner loot table. It will actually work better as a method if the block broken *has* an item that naturally drops since u can just add the fake tags to that item. (PS: u probs woulda had this answered if u waited to watch the whole video since I explain how the loot table can be switched to another block)
If anyone is curious on why it no longer works 1.17.1+ I spent longer then I would like to admit trying to figure out the reason why 1.17.1 broke it and found that it seems to be a matter of just changing the loot tables from "item": "minecraft:netherite_pickaxe" to "items": [ "minecraft:netherite_pickaxe" ] I went through every part of the code multiple times before realizing the loot table was the issue. Oh well. Hope this helped anyone who was having the same issue.
I think Armor stands are the best and here is why: 1. I can use any Base Block because Armor stands when on fire illuminate the block model 2. When putting the Item in an Item frame it isn't a big block which is a problem with the Item frame approach 3. Armor stands actually don't lag that much, I tried and placed like 1000+ and it didn't rlly affect my frame rate and for the drops I just use commands detecting if the block gets broken, which what tool it was broken and by which player with scoreboard and Inventory nbt data.
There's a tag for item frame that called Fixed if you set this true the frame can be stay in the air and if you place a block it will not break so you can use whatever block you want Edit: oh actually he used the tag in the datapack
Oh, I have an idea, if you detect time with the scoreboard and replace the item frames with glowing one at day time maybe it would possible to use any block you want?
This video was very interesting! I have also created custom blocks on my own channel but used an armour-stand-based solution. I found it very interesting to see how a different solution could yield such a similar result. If you don't mind, I might explore the item frame and mob spawner solution on my own channel some time in the future. Regardless, keep up the good work!
Did you also look at mushrooms I think those also have over 100 unused states so they are good for adventure maps but placing other mushrooms next to it would break
This doesn't seem to work in the 1.17.1 update, as all barriers dropped by spawner blocks are tagged as if they are broken with a netherite pickaxe, no matter what you actually break it with, do you have a fix for this? or do you believe there is a separate issue
I know this comment is 8 months old, but if you are curious on why it no longer works I spent longer then I would like to admit trying to figure out the reason why 1.17.1 broke it and found that it seems to be a matter of just changing the loot tables from "item": "minecraft:netherite_pickaxe" to "items": [ "minecraft:netherite_pickaxe" ] I went through every part of the code multiple times before realizing the loot table was the issue.

Very cool video, keep up the great work! Have you considered the about 160 options of unused mushroom blocks as custom blocks? It’s very easy to implement them cause their blockupdate is a simple physics event that is very easy to cancel. In terms of performance they also have the important effect of cullfacing, so they do not need any more performance than stone or other blocks. Yes, they feel a little different to break but I think that’s a small thing considering how easy they are to implement and you don’t waste all the cool note blocks
If u heard my discussion I specifically said that most block states are not usable expect in plugins. iirc u can’t cancel physics events in vanilla minecraft
@@Cl0udWolf I see the problem... since I use denizen that never was a problem, but I’ve no experience with datapacks so this is good to know. Thank you
i made custom blocks with glow item frames (i was originally using amor stands on fire), i know that they're weird when it's night / dark, but there are only few full blocks that are transparent, i tried with the spawner method but you can't change it's break/walk particles and it has always the same durability
Im tempted to remove the textures of the waxed oxidized copper set for base block, its the most redundant set of blocks in the game (oxidized is the resting state of copper, so why would you wax it?)
still looking for a way to put a new texture on a barrel for blocks with GUIs. I made a solution that reimplements lighting using dyed armor and predicates mostly to see if I could, but I can’t bring myself to actually use it because of the performance impact. It’s not noticeable, but I know that it would cut into the allowable number of commands I could use for other things. :P
@@Cl0udWolf oh, I know for a fact they do. I had used fire, separated each face into separate leather armor pieces, and had them adjust their tint to the lighting. the terrible solution, but I wanted to see if I could. it's only something to be used for block entities with GUIs that would be used sparingly anyway, so some performance impact was acceptable in my eyes; a solution more akin to yours was explored for regularcustom blocks.
