OMG yesterday i thought, why isn't a hat mod at mcpe? Now its there!

I created one before him xD

Although, great mod!

Search for more files and folders of this mod and delete all of them, maybe this will help. Maybe there is a folder called Thaumcraft or ThaumCraftApi. Isn't it in your AppData?

"java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: thaumcraft.api.ThaumcraftApi.registerObjectTag(IILthaumcraft/api/ObjectTags;)V"

For Technic Launcher: If you run your modpack it creates a folder with a config folder in it. It contains the configs of the mods that are included in your modpack. Copy and paste the config folder into your modpack folder. You can edit the configs to your own preferences.

Edit: If you're using Technic Solder I can't help you.

In BlockLauncher 1.5.5, scripts can now define custom blocks. Since there is some confusion with the new function calls, I've decided to write up a short tutorial.

If you just want the completed mod, https://raw.github.com/zhuowei/ModPEScripts/master/500ise_enchantingbench.js type /enchanttable to get an enchantment table block. If you want to see how it's made, read on!

To define a block, use the new command

Block.defineBlock(id, name, texture, materialSourceId, opaque, renderType);

The last three parameters are optional: so the simplest call would be

Block.defineBlock(187, "Evil dirt", 2);

You can specify the texture in three ways.
Textures in Minecraft are specified by ID, starting from 0, which is the id on the first row and first column, to 255, on the last row of the last column. Since there are 16 textures per row, this means that, for example, sapling's texture coordinate is 15, and bedrock's is 17.

Here's the terrain.png for reference.


If your block has the same texture on all sides, just specify the number directly.

Block.defineBlock(187, "Evil dirt", 2);

If your block has different textures on each side, you can specify an array of values for each side, in the order [bottom, top, south, north, west, east].
Additionally, if you are using the array syntax, you can specify row-column coordinates as well. So, for example, if you have

Block.defineBlock(187, "Evil reactor", [[14, 10]])

, you'll have a block with all sides set to the nether reactor's texture. (row 14, column 10) This has the same effect as writing

Block.defineBlock(187, "Evil reactor", 234)

If your block has different textures on each side, you can specify an array of values for each side, in the order [bottom, top, south, north, west, east]

Block.defineBlock(187, "Enchantment table", [[2, 5], [10, 6], [11, 6], [11, 6], [11, 6], [11, 6]]);

Blocks, as you might know, have damage values. If you want to specify damage values, simply add more than 6 textures to the array: the first 6 textures will be used for data value 0, the second set of 6 for data value 1, and so on.

I highly recommend using damage values: instead of defining, for example, white wool, black wool, and purple wool, use damage value textures and save 2 block IDs.

So now we have an enchantment table: let's set the heights of it. For that, we can use Block.setShape.

Block.setShape takes 6 parameters: According to Minecraft Coder Pack's authors (from the Desktop edition), the function parameters are:

Sets the bounds of the block. minX, minY, minZ, maxX, maxY, maxZ

For example, if you want to have a block float off the ground, you can change its minimum y value, and if you want it to be half height, you can change its maximum y value.

For our block, we want it to be 1 block wide, one block deep, but only 3/4 the height of a normal block. So we can call

Block.setShape(187, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3/4, 1);

If you omit the setShape call, you'll just get a regular shaped block.

Let's take a look at the shaped block!



You'll notice that irregularly shaped blocks are extremely glitchy: if you put a block behind it, some faces won't render. This will be fixed.

Here's the full script for the enchantment table:

var initialized = false;

function selectLevelHook() { //This is called before the first world is loaded
    if (!initialized) { //if we have not set up our custom block
        // define a block with ID 187, name "Enchantment table", and the following textures
        // in the order (bottom, top, south, north, west, east).
        // in this case, the side textures are the same, and the top/bottom textures are different.
        Block.defineBlock(187, "Enchantment table", [[2, 5], [10, 6], [11, 6], [11, 6], [11, 6], [11, 6]]);
        // sets the block's boundaries.
        // in this case, the block starts at y = 0, and stops at y = 0.75 - this is a block 3/4 m high.
        Block.setShape(187, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3/4, 1);
        initialized = true;
    }
}

In the next part of this tutorial, I'll explain how to let the user interact with custom blocks.
