Custom Blocks

This is a startup script.

onEvent('block.registry', event => {
  event.create('test_block')
  	   .material('glass')
       .hardness(0.5)
})

// Or for a brief moment in 1.18.1
onEvent('block.registry', event => {
  event.create('test_block', block => {
  	  block.material('glass')
      block.hardness(0.5)
      block.displayName('Test Block')
  })
})


The texture for this block has to be placed in kubejs/assets/kubejs/textures/block/test_block.png.
If you want a custom block model, you can create one in Blockbench and put it in kubejs/assets/kubejs/models/block/test_block.json.
