New Blocks & Items

MinecraftConsoles adds several blocks and items that aren’t in the LCEMP base. This page documents each addition based on the actual source code.

New blocks

StainedGlassBlock

File: Minecraft.World/StainedGlassBlock.h, .cpp

Extends HalfTransparentTile. Provides 16 color variants using dye-based texture names.

Property	Value
Base class	HalfTransparentTile
Material	Passed via constructor (glass)
Render layer	1 (translucent)
Cube shaped	false
Silk touchable	true (via protected isSilkTouchable())
Resource count	0 (drops nothing without silk touch)
Icon variants	ICONS_LENGTH = 16 (one per dye color)

Texture registration iterates all 16 variants and registers icons using DyePowderItem::COLOR_TEXTURES mapped through getItemAuxValueForBlockData(), which inverts the data bits (~data & 0xf). getSpawnResourcesAuxValue() maps the block data to the item aux value.

StainedGlassPaneBlock

File: Minecraft.World/StainedGlassPaneBlock.h, .cpp

Extends ThinFenceTile. The pane variant of stained glass with both face icons and edge icons.

Property	Value
Base class	ThinFenceTile
Render layer	1 (translucent)
Icon arrays	ICONS[16] (face) and EDGE_ICONS[16] (edge/top)
Variants	ICONS_COUNT = 16

Registers both face textures (glass_<color>) and edge textures (glass_pane_top_<color>) for all 16 variants. Three texture methods handle different faces:

• getIconTexture(int face, int data) for the main pane face
• getEdgeTexture(int data) for the pane edges and top
• getTexture(int face, int data) general texture lookup

getItemAuxValueForBlockData() and getSpawnResourcesAuxValue() handle the data-to-aux mapping.

HayBlockTile

File: Minecraft.World/HayBlockTile.h, .cpp

Extends RotatedPillarTile. A directional block with top and side textures, just like logs.

Property	Value
Base class	RotatedPillarTile
Material	grass
Render shape	SHAPE_TREE (pillar rendering) via getRenderShape()
Textures	hay_block_top, hay_block_side

The getTypeTexture(int type) method (protected) returns the texture for the pillar end or side. registerIcons() sets up the two textures.

NoteBlockTile

File: Minecraft.World/NoteBlockTile.h, .cpp

Extends BaseEntityTile. A tile entity that plays musical notes and responds to redstone.

Property	Value
Base class	BaseEntityTile
Material	wood
Tile entity	MusicTileEntity

Behavior:

• Redstone signal (neighborChanged): When a neighbor signal changes, plays the note if the signal transitions to on.
• Right-click (use): Increments the note pitch via mte->tune() and plays the note. Has a soundOnly parameter (4J addition).
• Left-click (attack): Plays the current note without changing pitch.
• Note rendering (triggerEvent): Calculates pitch as pow(2, (note - 12) / 12.0) and picks an instrument sound based on the block below:
  • Stone: bass drum
  • Sand/gravel: snare
  • Glass: hat (click)
  • Wood: bass guitar
  • Everything else: harp/piano
• Spawns a note particle colored by pitch.

TestUse() returns whether the note block can be right-clicked (used for tooltip display). newTileEntity() creates the MusicTileEntity.

JukeboxTile

File: Minecraft.World/JukeboxTile.h, .cpp

Extends BaseEntityTile. Plays and ejects music discs.

Property	Value
Base class	BaseEntityTile
Material	wood
Tile entity	JukeboxTile::Entity (nested class)
Analog output	Yes (comparator signal based on disc ID)
Textures	jukebox_side, jukebox_top

JukeboxTile::Entity is a nested class extending TileEntity with type eTYPE_RECORDPLAYERTILE. It stores a shared_ptr<ItemInstance> record and handles save/load using both the RecordItem compound tag and the legacy Record integer tag. Has a static create() factory and 4J-added clone() method.

Behavior:

• Right-click (use): Ejects the current disc if one is present (data value 1 means occupied). TestUse() checks if ejection is possible.
• Disc ejection (dropRecording): Fires SOUND_PLAY_RECORDING level event, clears the record, and spawns the disc as an ItemEntity.
• Disc insertion (setRecord): Sets the record in the tile entity and updates the data value.
• Block removal (onRemove): Ejects the disc before the block is destroyed.
• Resource spawning (spawnResources): Handles dropping the jukebox and its disc.
• Comparator output (getAnalogOutputSignal): Returns record->id + 1 - Item::record_01_Id when a disc is present, hasAnalogOutputSignal() returns true.

BeaconTile

File: Minecraft.World/BeaconTile.h, .cpp

Extends BaseEntityTile. The beacon block that provides status effects in a radius.

Property	Value
Base class	BaseEntityTile
Tile entity	BeaconTileEntity
Solid render	false

• clientSideRenderTick / clientSideRenderScale handle the beam animation

Effects are stored in a static BEACON_EFFECTS[4][3] array initialized via staticCtor().

The beacon tick() method periodically:

1. Checks for a clear line of sight to the sky
2. Counts the pyramid layers below
3. Applies status effects to nearby players via applyEffects()

Container methods implement the payment slot (1 slot, accepts specific items via canPlaceItem()). Full NBT save/load for all beacon properties.

New items

LeashItem

File: Minecraft.World/LeashItem.h, .cpp

Lets players tie leashed mobs to fence posts.

Property	Value
Base class	Item
Key method	useOn() binds leashed mobs to a fence

When used on a fence tile, it searches a 7-block radius for mobs leashed to the player, creates or finds a LeashFenceKnotEntity at that position, and attaches them. Has two static methods:

• bindPlayerMobs() does the actual binding with side effects
• bindPlayerMobsTest() is for tooltip prediction without side effects

The useOn() method has a bTestUseOnOnly parameter for tooltip support.

NameTagItem

File: Minecraft.World/NameTagItem.h, .cpp

Lets you name mobs.

Property	Value
Base class	Item
Key method	interactEnemy()

When the item has a custom hover name and is used on a Mob, it sets the mob’s custom name and calls setPersistenceRequired() to prevent despawning. Decrements the stack.

EmptyMapItem

File: Minecraft.World/EmptyMapItem.h, .cpp

Creates a new map when used.

Property	Value
Base class	ComplexItem
Key method	use()

Creates a new ItemInstance of Item::map with aux value -1, calls Item::map->onCraftedBy() to initialize it, then decrements the empty map stack. If the player’s stack isn’t empty afterward, the new map is added to inventory or dropped.

SpawnEggItem
