Easily Create CUSTOM BLOCKS! || Minecraft Data Pack Tutorial 1.16

Custom blocks are a really fun and useful feature that can be created with data packs. In this video, I go over two similar methods for creating custom blocks depending on the transparency of the base block you need.
Some other ideas that this method can be used for are custom machines, crafters, hidden doors, mob boss summoning altars, or even rocket ships.
A bug prevents the proper lighting of armorstands which should have been fixed in 1.16.2, but it hasn't been fully fixed. See the bugtracker here:

1.17 glow item frames fix the lighting issue with opaque base blocks!

[@PeChips]

But the blocks will shine in the darkness too

[@batibapt7961]

Thanks 😊! I'm too lazy to do the method №2

[@_EnderTv]

or item frame with glowing effect

[@Superordi]

You are génius thank you

[@TimberForge]

Keep in mind that since these blocks use entities to display the model, (As they must) they WILL CAUSE LAG IN LARGE AMOUNTS! I am kind of working on a rendering system that renders nearby blocks only but there is no guarantee that it will work in the slightest lol. Armorstand lighting bug has not been fixed as of 8/8/21. You can use GLOW ITEM FRAMES in 1.17 instead of a flaming armorstand.

[@TimberForge]

I know, those are still entities that cause lag in large amounts even though they are placed like a block. Thats how method 1 works. But they still get dark and glitch out if they are in a solid block.

[@kgaming7599]

@@TimberForge maybe use a shulker with NoAI?

[@TimberForge]

That wouldn’t display the model so you would need another entity on top of that, so it would get really laggy even more quickly.

Ah man. that lighting fix with the flaming armor stand was BIG brain. I made a datapack and posted it on your discord and some people noticed a lighting problem (Fortunately the custom block spawned in the nether and armor stands don't get weird lighting there bc it's just too cool). I probably won't fix the older datapack, but I will definitely take the lighting into account if I ever make another datapack with custom blocks. Thanks for the helpful tips :).

[@fadedlight8549]

Good idea, define spawn rules and define the block as ore, you can see KZbin tutorials about spawn rules

[@eugenekrabs141]

that would be either a configured feature if its a ore or something, or a configured surface builder if its part of a biome you are making or you want to replace the surface of a already existing biome

@@rosek6585 yup agree

[@SamtheIrishexan]

So I am a huge fan of tons of block mods like embellishcraft, BoP, variant 16x, environments etc. Due to redundancy in some of the block colors I was thinking that if I replace the block state/textures/and possibly models within the mod itself I can add more texture variants, in particular I want to make fantasy themed textures for flat color blocks by using basically carved and recolored/textured blocks. For instance via added recipe datapacks for smelting/blasting/smithing to get the desired variant. Even if I have to design from the ground up there are some older mods that have blocks with cool functions, i.e. the pixie in a jar from ice and fire, I would love to be able to make a pack that would add something of that nature for a custom entity but without the lag from such a huge mod. Of course I pay attention to licensing and most is open source these days, I am not literate in coding or functions at all so I am sticking to variant designs for a modpack I would like to release either in 1.16.3 or possibly waiting until 1.17 depending on how quickly I pick this up. It will be something like the Valhelsia mod but with a huge focus on building and variations for custom build sets for fantasy dark/light elven and Dwarven etc. We will see how it goes but thanks for taking the time to do this!!!

[@airpiane_]

dude, thank you so much. helped a ton!

[@jdawgtor]

Great video! I hadn't thought of using item frames. That would probably make directional blocks easier to create as well.

[@TimberForge]

Yup! Works automatically for transparent blocks, or just detect the Facing part of the item frame and rotate the armorstand accordingly for method 2.

[@jdawgtor]

@@TimberForge Nice, do you know of a good way to make custom blocks that can be used in a bulk amount without lag? Such as a surface block for a custom dimension.

[@TimberForge]

In order to display a custom model without overriding, you have to use custom model data. In order to use custom model data, you need an item, and the item must be displayed, and as far as i can tell, that requires an entity. I have developed a system that stores all of the blocks’ locations in an nbt storage and periodically iterates theough to render only the closest blocks, but it is far from being done. I would need to make sure it works with larger amounts of blocks, probably split the rendering process over many more frames than the one it uses now, and make it detect if it is a non viewable (underground/blocked off) block.

[@jdawgtor]

@@TimberForge Ah, okay. Good luck with that :D

[@sqaff1862]

Dude u da best tysm❤️

[@hiroplaymax]

Good idea :) Thanks

[@Alphachicken22]

You should do a new tutorial for this using the glowing item frames in 1.17. They make the items in them glow without using the flame effect which will eventually run out.

[@The-Scandium]

can't you just replace item frame with glow item frame?

[@Morigins]

in the remove function instead of summoning a new item and killing the old one. you can just use the data modify command to modify the block drop and change it into the any other drop it is quite easier and it uses one command

[@nonosquare5407]

This is the best tutorial series so far

[@JoKn21]

Thanks so much :)

[@gravitowl]

Nice!!

[@jayfin3950]

Personally I would recommend using method two in all circumstances. Although it's a tiny bit harder, item frames have a low render distance, so players will be able to see your base block at the right distance.

[@TimberForge]

Good point.

[@ZacharyKing9]

Plz do a tutorial on making custom structures say a log cabin in the mountains. Like so he can see!

[@TimberForge]

I check my comments through YT Studio so liking comments up doesnt usually happen. But i have been looking into it and i know a way to do it, but some people have said that you could do it through the new worlgen settings, but i havent been able to figure it out yet, and it seems that the overworld isnt overrideable. So i might just do a tutorial on the function version, but idk yet.

[@fuzzyL16]

Dam 😔

[@hop3fulpuffin]

@@TimberForge could you do that said function version or just tell me the basic idea? :D I'm trying to make naturally spawning custom ore

[@TimberForge]

Basically either use a periodic apreadyplayers command or use the natural spawning mob method to randomly select points around the world, and then generate the structure/ore in the proper spaces, but only if there isnt one that spawned nearby before. If you are making custom ores then you can just detect if your ore entity is nearby, but that would mean it could keep generating. The way to check if a structure or ore spawned near there before is by using nbt storage to store an array of coordinates that you test by summoning an armorstand at those positions. That’s complicated if u havent used storage or dont know array iteration tho.

You can maybe use a normal falling block entity and see if teleporting the custom armorstand to its position would look alright or not. Then kill the armorstand if it detects the falling block entity is gone.

Guys you can do this neat trick i think works so the fire ticks last forever so you execute on every armor stand with the tag and run a data merge for example: /execute as @e[type=armor_stand,tag=exampletag] run data merge @s {Fire:100} that should work I don’t know tho since I’m new to commands put that in the tick loop hope it helps!

[@alanomar4339]

Timber Forge, I'd like to make a big datapack but I'm afraid that It will make my Minecraft world has a lot of lag because of the many commands that it will have. I have in mind make a great datapack wich will improve the survival experience, I'm planning to add: -New dimensions ( more than 3 or 4) -Add many custom mobs in the overworld and custom dimensions (also bosses) - Custom structures in the overworld and custom dimensions -Custom trades with villagers - Custom recipies - Custom items like new ores, swords, shields, etc (maybe will be more than 100) - Many custom blocks and ores - Add guns - Add more armors I know that sounds very exaggerated for just one datapack, but that's why I'm asking you an advice What should I do? It is possible to make it in one datapack? Many code will cause lag? The natural generation of many custom ores and structures eill cause lag? Thank you, it's my most ambitious project.

[@TimberForge]

The main thing that can cause lag is having a large amount of entities existing in one place. If you dont have that you are probably fine. Watch cloudwolf’s video on optimizing data packs, and just make sure that commands ONLY RUN WHEN THEY NEED TO RUN. For example, if you have 100 commands to do special stuff to a specific custom mob, put all of those commands into a function, and have the function ONLY loop when the mob exists and is detected in the main function. This way, you are only running one command while the mob doesnt exist.

Would it be possible in a datapack to make a barrel store its item contents as shulker boxes do when broken, with an NBT tag BlockEntityTag, and restore the contents when placed again? After all, barrels were invented in the real world to be movable storage.

[@TimberForge]

I dont think you could add it by simply storing the nbt into the item since there isnt a spot for that nbt in a barrel’s item nbt. You cant really add custom nbt, just custom tags or changes to existing nbt as far as I remember.

Can you make a tutorial on custom armor? I already got custom armor icons working with the custom items tutorial, but I can't figure out the actual textures on the armor models.

[@TimberForge]

Armor models are hard coded into the game since they aren’t static models. (Think about how like the tunic arms swing separately from the body, the boots and legs move independently, the elytra opens and closes) so custom model data doesnt work for them. Some workarounds are to make the plsyer invisible and use an entirely new model, but thats usually for characters (like the overwatch pack made by I think McMakistein) I haven’t done actual custom armor before and im not sure it is realistically possible to do in a reasonable amount of time or to any decent amount of accuracy without mods.

Is this method of making custom blocks super laggy in large quantities? Like if I wanted to add 100 new blocks to the game, and let players build with them on a server?

[@TimberForge]

Do not do that, check the pinned comment. It will cause lag if there are over maybe 100. First it lengthens the server tickrate, then lowers FPS. This is best for specialty blocks like ores or stuff like lucky blocks that will not be used for building, or exist in small amounts at a time.

Then have 4 commands to detect a range if rotations, and have each one set the rotation of the item in the item frame depending on the rotation. (For example, if it faces 100 degrees, set the rotation to 2). Idk the exact rotation syntax, but that should be easily found on mcstacker or with the data get command.

[@TimberForge]

Yeah they leg less, the issue is that since no entity exists, you cant do anything related to commands on the block location as far as I know. So custom drops, sounds, particles, abilities if its a usable block, etc

[@MasterBroNetwork]

@@TimberForge True but for custom builds that are never intended to be broken, it works rather well.

[@TimberForge]

Yup definitely.

[@MasterBroNetwork]

The mob spawner approach kind of works but they disappear if you go too far away which is definitely a problem but a lot more performant than item frames. The new marker entity could be quite helpful since those are a lot more performant if you're adding survival blocks so that you can insert all of the drops and stuff from it by inserting it at the marker entity then deleting the entity. Edit: Another thing to deal with tile entity distance is you can mod the game to unlock the tile entity render distance to make it higher than the capped limit that MC has. (64)
