Represents a block in a dimension. A block represents a unique X, Y, and Z within a dimension and get/sets the state of the block at that location. This type was significantly updated in version 1.17.10.21.

Properties

dimension: Dimension

Returns the dimension that the block is within.

isAir: boolean

Returns true if this block is an air block (i.e., empty space).

This property can throw when used.

LocationInUnloadedChunkError

LocationOutOfWorldBoundariesError

isLiquid: boolean

Returns true if this block is a liquid block - (e.g., a water block and a lava block are liquid, while an air block and a stone block are not. Water logged blocks are not liquid blocks).

This property can throw when used.

typeId: string

Identifier of the type of block for this block.

This property can throw when used.

LocationInUnloadedChunkError

LocationOutOfWorldBoundariesError

x: number

X coordinate of the block.

y: number

Y coordinate of the block.

z: number

Z coordinate of the block.

Methods

  • Returns Vector3

    Returns the @minecraft/server.Location of the center of this block on the X and Z axis.

  • Beta

    Parameters

    • blockToPlace: string | BlockPermutation | BlockType

      Block type or block permutation to check placement for.

    • OptionalfaceToPlaceOn: Direction

      Optional specific face of this block to check placement against.

    Returns boolean

    Returns true if the block type or permutation can be placed on this block, else false.

    Checks to see whether it is valid to place the specified block type or block permutation, on a specified face on this block

    This function can throw errors.

    Error

    LocationOutOfWorldBoundariesError

  • Returns Vector3

    Returns the @minecraft/server.Location of the center of this block on the X, Y, and Z axis.

  • Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • componentId: T

      The identifier of the component (e.g., 'minecraft:inventory'). If no namespace prefix is specified, 'minecraft:' is assumed. Available component IDs can be found as part of the BlockComponentTypes enum.

    Returns BlockComponentTypeMap[T]

    Returns the component if it exists on the block, otherwise undefined.

    Gets a component (that represents additional capabilities) for a block - for example, an inventory component of a chest block.

    import { ItemStack } from "@minecraft/server";

    const getEntityInventoryComponent = block.getComponent("inventory");
    const inventoryContainer = getEntityInventoryComponent.container;

    // Custom function to add an item to the inventory
    function addItemToInventory(itemStack) {
    return inventoryContainer.addItem(itemStack);
    }

    // Custom function to move an item within the inventory
    function moveItemWithinInventory(fromSlot, toSlot) {
    inventoryContainer.moveItem(fromSlot, toSlot, inventoryContainer);
    }

    // Custom function to transfer an item from inventory to another container
    function transferItemToContainer(fromSlot, targetContainer) {
    return inventoryContainer.transferItem(fromSlot, targetContainer);
    }

    // Example usage of the custom functions
    const newItemStack = new ItemStack("apple", 10); // Assuming "apple" is a valid item
    const addedItem = addItemToInventory(newItemStack);
    if (addedItem) {
    console.log("Item added to inventory:", addedItem);
    }

    const sourceSlot = 2;
    const destinationSlot = 5;
    moveItemWithinInventory(sourceSlot, destinationSlot);

    const targetContainer = someOtherContainer; // Assuming 'someOtherContainer' is an instance of another container
    const transferredItem = transferItemToContainer(0, targetContainer);
    if (transferredItem) {
    console.log("Item transferred to another container:", transferredItem);
    }
  • Beta

    Parameters

    • Optionalamount: number

      Number of instances of this block to place in the item stack.

    • OptionalwithData: boolean

      Whether additional data facets of the item stack are included.

    Returns ItemStack

    An itemStack with the specified amount of items and data. Returns undefined if block type is incompatible.

    Creates a prototype item stack based on this block that can be used with Container/ContainerSlot APIs.

  • Parameters

    • tag: string

      Tag to check for.

    Returns boolean

    Returns true if the permutation of this block has the tag, else false.

    Checks to see if the permutation of this block has a specific tag.

    import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

    // Fetch the block
    const block = world.getDimension("overworld").getBlock({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 });

    console.log(`Block is dirt: ${block.hasTag("dirt")}`);
    console.log(`Block is wood: ${block.hasTag("wood")}`);
    console.log(`Block is stone: ${block.hasTag("stone")}`);
  • Returns boolean

    True if this block object is still working and valid.

    Returns true if this reference to a block is still valid (for example, if the block is unloaded, references to that block will no longer be valid.)

  • Beta

    Parameters

    • blockName: string
    • Optionalstates: Record<string, string | number | boolean>

    Returns boolean

    This function can throw errors.

    Error

    LocationInUnloadedChunkError

    LocationOutOfWorldBoundariesError

  • Parameters

    • offset: Vector3

      The offset vector. For example, an offset of 0, 1, 0 will return the block above the current block.

    Returns Block

    Block at the specified offset, or undefined if that block could not be retrieved (for example, the block and its relative chunk is not loaded yet.)

    Returns a block at an offset relative vector to this block.

  • Beta

    Parameters

    • permutation: BlockPermutation

      Permutation that contains a set of property states for the Block.

    Returns boolean

    Returns true if the block permutation data was successfully set, else false.

    Tries to set the block in the dimension to the state of the permutation by first checking if the placement is valid.

    This function can't be called in read-only mode.
