Contains the combination of type BlockType and properties (also sometimes called block state) which describe a block (but does not belong to a specific Block).

import { world, BlockPermutation, BlockSignComponent, BlockComponentTypes, DimensionLocation } from "@minecraft/server";
import { MinecraftBlockTypes } from "@minecraft/vanilla-data";

function addTranslatedSign(log: (message: string, status?: number) => void, targetLocation: DimensionLocation) {
const players = world.getPlayers();

const dim = players[0].dimension;

const signBlock = dim.getBlock(targetLocation);

if (!signBlock) {
log("Could not find a block at specified location.");
return -1;
}
const signPerm = BlockPermutation.resolve(MinecraftBlockTypes.StandingSign, { ground_sign_direction: 8 });

signBlock.setPermutation(signPerm);

const signComponent = signBlock.getComponent(BlockComponentTypes.Sign) as BlockSignComponent;

signComponent?.setText({ translate: "item.skull.player.name", with: [players[0].name] });
}

Constructors

Properties

type: BlockType

The BlockType that the permutation has.

Methods

  • Beta

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • blockName: T

      Identifier of the block to check.

    • Optionalstates: BlockStateArg<T>

    Returns BlockPermutation

    Given a type identifier and an optional set of properties, will return a BlockPermutation object that is usable in other block APIs (e.g., block.setPermutation)

    This function can throw errors.
