Blocks

Block Components

Name Type Default Value Description
bone_visibility JSON Object A JSON object that contains a list of key/value pairs that map from bone name in the specified geometry file (key) to a boolean that tells whether the bone should be visible or not (value).
minecraft:breathability String Determines whether the block is breathable by defining if the block is treated as a `solid` or as `air`. The default is `solid` if this component is omitted.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features
minecraft:collision_box Boolean / JSON Object true Defines the area of the block that collides with entities. If set to true, default values are used. If set to false, the block's collision with entities is disabled. If this component is omitted, default values are used.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features (in format versions before 1.19.50)
Name Type Default Value Description
origin Vector [a, b, c] [-8.0, 0.0, -8.0] Minimal position of the bounds of the collision box. "origin" is specified as [x, y, z] and must be in the range (-8, 0, -8) to (8, 16, 8), inclusive.
size Vector [a, b, c] [16.0, 16.0, 16.0] Size of each side of the collision box. Size is specified as [x, y, z]. "origin" + "size" must be in the range (-8, 0, -8) to (8, 16, 8), inclusive.

minecraft:crafting_table JSON Object Makes your block into a custom crafting table which enables the crafting table UI and the ability to craft recipes. This component supports only "recipe_shaped" and "recipe_shapeless" typed recipes and not others like "recipe_furnace" or "recipe_brewing_mix". If there are two recipes for one item, the recipe book will pick the first that was parsed. If two input recipes are the same, crafting may assert and the resulting item may vary.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features (in format versions before 1.19.50)

crafting_tags

Defines the tags recipes should define to be crafted on this table. Limited to 64 tags. Each tag is limited to 64 characters.

table_name

Specifies the language file key that maps to what text will be displayed in the UI of this table. If the string given can not be resolved as a loc string, the raw string given will be displayed. If this field is omitted, the name displayed will default to the name specified in the "display_name" component. If this block has no "display_name" component, the name displayed will default to the name of the block.

Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features
minecraft:destructible_by_explosion Boolean / JSON Object true Describes the destructible by explosion properties for this block. If set to true, the block will have the default explosion resistance. If set to false, this block is indestructible by explosion. If the component is omitted, the block will have the default explosion resistance.

Name Type Default Value Description
explosion_resistance Decimal 0 Sets the explosion resistance for the block. Greater values result in greater resistance to explosions. The scale will be different for different explosion power levels. A negative value or 0 means it will easily explode; larger numbers increase level of resistance.
minecraft:destructible_by_mining Boolean / JSON Object true Describes the destructible by mining properties for this block. If set to true, the block will take the default number of seconds to destroy. If set to false, this block is indestructible by mining. If the component is omitted, the block will take the default number of seconds to destroy.
Name Type Default Value Description
seconds_to_destroy Decimal 0.0 Sets the number of seconds it takes to destroy the block with base equipment. Greater numbers result in greater mining times.
minecraft:display_name Localization String Specifies the language file key that maps to what text will be displayed when you hover over the block in your inventory and hotbar. If the string given can not be resolved as a loc string, the raw string given will be displayed. If this component is omitted, the name of the block will be used as the display name.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features (in format versions before 1.19.60)
minecraft:flammable Boolean / JSON Object Describes the flammable properties for this block. If set to true, default values are used. If set to false, or if this component is omitted, the block will not be able to catch on fire naturally from neighbors, but it can still be directly ignited.
Name Type Default Value Description
catch_chance_modifier Integer 5 A modifier affecting the chance that this block will catch flame when next to a fire. Values are greater than or equal to 0, with a higher number meaning more likely to catch on fire. For a "catch_chance_modifier" greater than 0, the fire will continue to burn until the block is destroyed (or it will burn forever if the "destroy_chance_modifier" is 0). If the "catch_chance_modifier" is 0, and the block is directly ignited, the fire will eventually burn out without destroying the block (or it will have a chance to be destroyed if "destroy_chance_modifier" is greater than 0). The default value of 5 is the same as that of Planks.
destroy_chance_modifier Integer 20 A modifier affecting the chance that this block will be destroyed by flames when on fire. Values are greater than or equal to 0, with a higher number meaning more likely to be destroyed by fire. For a "destroy_chance_modifier" of 0, the block will never be destroyed by fire, and the fire will burn forever if the "catch_chance_modifier" is greater than 0. The default value of 20 is the same as that of Planks.

minecraft:friction Decimal 0.4 Describes the friction for this block in a range of (0.0-0.9). Friction affects an entity's movement speed when it travels on the block. Greater value results in more friction.
minecraft:geometry Identifier String The description identifier of the geometry file to use to render this block. This identifier must match an existing geometry identifier in any of the currently loaded resource packs.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features (in format versions before 1.19.40)
minecraft:light_dampening Integer 15 The amount that light will be dampened when it passes through the block, in a range (0-15). Higher value means the light will be dampened more.
minecraft:light_emission Integer 0 The amount of light this block will emit in a range (0-15). Higher value means more light will be emitted.
minecraft:loot Path String The path to the loot table, relative to the behavior pack. Path string is limited to 256 characters.
minecraft:map_color String Sets the color of the block when rendered to a map. The color is represented as a hex value in the format "#RRGGBB". May also be expressed as an array of [R, G, B] from 0 to 255. If this component is omitted, the block will not show up on the map.
minecraft:material_instances JSON Object The material instances for a block. Maps face or material_instance names in a geometry file to an actual material instance. You can assign a material instance object to any of these faces: "up", "down", "north", "south", "east", "west", or "*". You can also give an instance the name of your choosing such as "my_instance", and then assign it to a face by doing "north":"my_instance".
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features (in format versions before 1.19.40)

Material Instance

"opaque" - Used for a regular block texture without an alpha layer. Does not allow for transparency or translucency.
"double_sided" - Used for completely disabling backface culling.
"blend" - Used for a block like stained glass. Allows for transparency and translucency (slightly transparent textures).
"alpha_test" - Used for a block like the vanilla (unstained) glass. Does not allow for translucency, only fully opaque or fully transparent textures. Also disables backface culling.
texture String Texture name for the material.


minecraft:placement_filter JSON Object Sets rules for under what conditions the block can be placed/survive
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features (in format versions before 1.19.60)

conditions

List of conditions where the block can be placed/survive. Limited to 64 conditions.

minecraft:queued_ticking JSON Object Triggers the specified event, either once, or at a regular interval equal to a number of ticks randomly chosen from the interval_range provided.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features
Name Type Default Value Description
interval_range Array A range of values, specified in ticks, that will be used to decide the interval between times this event triggers. Each interval will be chosen randomly from the range, so the times between this event triggering will differ given an interval_range of two different values. If the values in the interval_range are the same, the event will always be triggered after that number of ticks.
looping Boolean true Does the event loop? If false, the event will only be triggered once, after a delay equal to a number of ticks randomly chosen from the interval_range. If true, the event will loop, and each interval between events will be equal to a number of ticks randomly chosen from the interval_range.
on_tick Trigger The event that will be triggered once or on an interval.
Name Type Default Value Description
condition String 1 A condition using Molang queries that results to true/false. If true on the scheduled tick, the event will be triggered. If false on the scheduled tick, the event will not be triggered.
event String set_block_state The event that will be triggered.
target String self The target of the event executed by the block.
minecraft:random_ticking JSON Object Triggers the specified event randomly based on the random tick speed gamerule. The random tick speed determines how often blocks are updated. Some other examples of game mechanics that use random ticking are crop growth and fire spreading.
Experimental toggles required: Holiday Creator Features
Name Type Default Value Description
on_tick Trigger The event that will be triggered on random ticks.
Name Type Default Value Description
