NoteBlock mechanic
How to add your own blocks to the game
The oraxen item root configuration is the same as for any item (you can use any material like a diamond for example) and set a displayname, etc.
For the pack section you can use your own model or generated one.
To generate a block model just specify the parent model your block should use.
Supported parent_models for block are:
block/cube_all
, block/cross
, block/orientable
, block/orientable_vertical
and block/cube_column
.my_block:
displayname: "&My block"
material: DIAMOND
Pack:
generate_model: true
parent_model: "block/cube_all"
textures:
- my_block_texture.png
Each of these parent models take a different amount of textures.
block/cube_all
takes 1 texture, block/cube_column
takes 2, block/cross
takes 1, block/orientable
takes 3 and block/orientable_vertical
takes 2.
For example, if you want to make a log block using the Directional Block mechanic, you should use block/cube_column
.To use this mechanic you need to tell to oraxen which model to use (to use the generated one, just put the name id of your item). You then need to use custom_variation which is not already used by another block (since by default 1 is used by caveblock, you can for example use 2). This example drop configurations allows you to get the drop when you mine it with a stone pickaxe.
Mechanics:
noteblock:
custom_variation: 2
model: my_block
drop:
silktouch: false
minimal_type: STONE
loots:
- {oraxen_item: caveblock, probability: 1.0}
You can customize the breaking speed and the most suitable tools with the hardness subsection.
Mechanics:
noteblock:
custom_variation: 2
model: my_block
hardness: 20 # this makes it really hard to mine
drop:
silktouch: false
minimal_type: STONE
best_tools:
- PICKAXE # and it's faster using a pickaxe
loots:
- {oraxen_item: caveblock, probability: 1.0}
You can customize what blocks a custom block/furniture can be placed on with
limited_placing
subsection. You can use the roof
, floor
and wall
options to dictate where a block can be placed. By default, all are set to true
.
The type
specifies if it should only be allowed on or denied on specific blocks.
If type is ALLOW
the block can only be placed on the given blocks.
If the type is DENY
can be placed on all blocks not matching the given blocks.amethyst_ore:
Mechanics:
noteblock:
limited_placing:
roof: true
floor: true
wall: true
type: ALLOW
block_types:
- GRASS_BLOCK
- DIRT
block_tags:
- base_stone_nether
oraxen_blocks:
- chair
- ruby_ore
The
block_tags
can be found at this page. Useful if you want to allow/deny a group of blocks.
The block_types
are materials. Useful if you want to allow/deny a specific list block.
The oraxen_blocks
are blocks defined in the oraxen configuration.
This allows all custom blocks and furniture in here, but furniture requires a barrier-hitbox.You can use the option light so that your block emits light.
Mechanics:
noteblock:
custom_variation: 2
model: my_block
light: 5
drop:
silktouch: false
loots:
- {oraxen_item: my_custom_item, probability: 1.0}
You need LightAPI for this, but will not work on any modern version of Paper due to chunk and lighting changes in Paper.
You can find a fork of the original plugin here
This should work on any modern version of Spigot and Paper.\
This is a sub-mechanic for furniture and noteblock mechanics, that let you make a custom storage container.
Essentially a chest, closet or whatever you might want.
There's a few different types: STORAGE, PERSONAL, ENDERCHEST & DISPOSAL.
STORAGE is similar to a normal chest. Anyone can open it and view the content of it.
PERSONAL is essentially a custom enderchest, letting you edit the row-count and so on.
ENDERCHEST is literally just the enderchest inventory, but letting you make a custom block/furniture to access it.
DISPOSAL is a custom trashcan, letting you throw items in it, and they will be deleted when closed.\
Mechanics:
furniture:
barrier: true
storage:
type: STORAGE
rows: 5 # Default: 6
title: "<red>My Storage" # Default: "Storage"
open_sound: entity.shulker.open # Default: entity.chest.open
close_sound: entity.shulker.close # Default: entity.chest.close
This mechanic can also be used with the furniture mechanic!\
This example configuration shows you how to create ores that support fortune and silktouch with a normal hardness.
amethyst_ore:
displayname: "&dAmethyst Ore"
material: DIAMOND
Pack:
generate_model: true
parent_model: "block/cube_all"
textures:
- amethyst_ore
Mechanics:
noteblock:
block_sounds:
place_sound: block.stone.place
break_sound: block.stone.break
hit_sound: my.custom.hitsound # Custom sound as defined in Oraxen/sound.yml
step_sound: my.custom.stepsound # Requires a sound-file in the Oraxen/pack-folder aswell
fall_sound: my.custom.fallsound
volume: 0.8 # Default: 0.8
pitch: 0.8 # Default: 0.8
custom_variation: 1
model: amethyst_ore
hardness: 6
drop:
silktouch: true
fortune: true
minimal_type: IRON
best_tools:
- PICKAXE
loots:
- oraxen_item: amethyst
probability: 1.0
This does not actually spawn ores throughout your world.
Look into one of the WorldGenerator plugins in World Generators for that.\
box_block:
displayname: "<white>box"
material: PAPER
Pack:
generate_model: false # because this is a block, a 2nd model pointing to specified one will be generated anyway
model: custom/furniture/caja
Mechanics:
noteblock:
custom_variation: 3
model: custom/furniture/caja
hardness: 6
drop:
silktouch: false
best_tools:
- AXE
loots:
- { oraxen_item: box_block, probability: 1.0 }

This feature does not support borders that are less than 16x16x16.
