THIS TOPIC IS OUTDATED, AS A PROPER API HAS NOW BEEN IMPLEMENTED.


Here are Soul Sand, Pumpkins, and Sponge added to MCPE, all running on new block IDs. This version of BlockLauncher has not been released yet to support custom blocks, so you'll have to compile the github source yourself to use these mods, But If you do so, enjoy








Here's the code:

function newLevel() {
ModPE.defineBlock(23, "Sponge", [48, 48, 48, 48, 48, 48], false, 0);
//48 is the location of spong on terrain.png read from
//Left to right, top to bottom, like a book 
}

function useItem(x, y, z, itemId, blockId) {
Level.setTile(x, y + 1, z, 23, 0); //Set our block 1 block up
}

WARNING: DO NOT ADD THE BLOCK TO YOUR INVENTORY IN SURVIVAL. YOUR GAME WILL CRASH INSTANTLY AND CORRUPT YOUR WORLD. ALSO, IF YOU USE Entity.setCarriedItem() TO ADD IT TO YOUR INVENTORY IN CREATIVE, DO NOT CHANGE OUT OF ITS SLOT THEN BACK ONTO IT, FOR SOME REASON DISPLAYING THE BLOCKS NAME WILL CRASH THE GAME

Anyway, this is the only method involving custom blocks, because it is an incomplete build of BlockLauncher(explaining the major bugs above) and Zhuowei will be adding a proper ModPE API soon. This is only used to really create some test blocks. Anyway, enjoy!

Awesome!!!

I' ll work on it.

You KNOW this makes my day...

Then your day will be even more made when you find out Zhuowei said he'll be releasing the official, bug fixed, full API, build later today.

My question is how do you find the number for the block on terrain png? Is it the first block on the first row = 1?

I guess with coordinates(x,y), like in the items.png

This is amazing!!

No, because that'd need 2 integers for each side, and, as you can see, there is only one.

Sooo.... how do u find the block number??

I hope it's released soon

Here's the code:

function newLevel() {
ModPE.defineBlock(23, "Sponge", [32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32], false, 0);
//32 is the location of spong on terrain.png read from
//Left to right, top to bottom
}

function useItem(x, y, z, itemId, blockId) {
Level.setTile(x, y + 1, z, 23, 0); //Set our block 1 block up
}

How did you get 32 as the location of the sponge. I am looking at terrain.png right now and the sponge is in the first column and the fourth row.

Its like reading, it starts with 0

Like I said already: You have to read the terrain.png like a book: Left to right, top to bottom. The very first column, very first row is 0, so no, in programming almost everything is indexed 0-based. 1 is not first. Then, the stone texture, moving like a book, is 1, the first column, 2nd row is 16. Like a book guys, like a book. In this case, the very bottom right is 255.

umm.. so the sponge texture is on the fourth row 1st column, 4*16-1=63... I'm confused... still..

What version? Just asking.

Yeah, you're right. Sponge is actually 48 :3 That was just off the top of my head. And no, you can't multiply like that, it doesn't work that way...

Makes sense. All good.

And yes, Byteandahalf, consider my day "more" made!!
