WesterosBlocks

WesterosBlocks is a Minecraft Fabric mod that adds customizable blocks through JSON configuration files. The mod enables creation of block types including decorative blocks, interactive blocks, natural blocks and special blocks without needing to write a bunch of code.

Overview

The WesterosBlocks system uses a JSON file format we call a block definition file to define:

• Block properties and behaviors
• Creative menu organization
• Color maps and tinting
• Block textures and models
• Item textures and models

Basic Structure

You can find all the custom block definitions in the resources/definitions folder. There are several files here:

block_sets.json Where we define custom block sets color_maps.json Define custom color tints that can be applied to blocks block_tags.json Custom block tags item_tags.json Custom item tags menu_overrides.json Configure where blocks appear in the creative menu

You will also notice a blocks/ directory full of json files per custom block, sorted by their block type.

Here's a minimal example:

    {
      "blockName": "my_stone_block",
      "blockType": "solid",
      "label": "My Stone Block",
      "creativeTab": "buildingBlocks",
      "material": "rock",
      "textures": ["my_block/my_block_texture"]
    }
