A block ID is a format used while describing features to specify a type of block in the world.
A block ID is an object with the following values.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name |
String | - |
The internal name (ID) of the block, such as
minecraft:stone. The ID of a block in the world can be
seen ingame by looking at it while the
debug screen
is active. If the block is from the base game, the
minecraft: prefix is not required.
|
properties (optional) |
Object | (See description) |
The
block states
of the block, specified as an object in which the keys are
the names of the block states. The block states of a block
in the world can be seen ingame by looking at it while the
debug screen
is active. If properties is not specified and the block ID is used to
generate blocks, the default block states for the block type
are used. If the block ID is used to match existing blocks,
block states are ignored while matching blocks.
|
data-tag (optional) |
Object | null |
The NBT data of the block, specified as JSON. Only used for blocks that have block entities. |
weight (optional) |
Number | 100 |
How likely the block ID is to be selected when it is part of an array of block IDs to randomly choose from. Block IDs with a greater weight have a higher chance of being selected. |
A block ID may also be specified as a single string. In that case, it is read as
the name value.
