function Entity.spawnMob(x,y,z,mobID,"image");

setRenderType

function Entity.setRenderType(ent, type);

addEffect

function Entity.addEffect(entity, id, duration, amplification, ambient, showParticles);

  • Adds a potion effect to the given mob. Entity passed in must be a mob.

  • Duration is in ticks - so if you want 30 seconds, put in 30*20 or 600 ticks

*　Example:

Entity.addEffect(getPlayerEnt(), MobEffect.nightVision, 30*20, 0, false, true);//give player a nightVision effect for 30 sec

removeEffect

function Entity.removeEffect(entity, id);
  • Removes a potion effect from a mob.

removeAllEffects

function Entity.removeAllEffects(entity);
  • Removes all potion effects from a mob.

Block

defineBlock

function Block.defineBlock(id,"name","texture",materialSourceId,opaque,rendertype);
  • Creates a custom block with textures and lots of special options with it.
  • The parameter id lets you choose the custom block id, with maximum of 255.
  • The parameter "name" is what you want the item name, although it must be in a string (" ").
  • "texture" lets you choose the texture for the block. To see all the MCPE texture names go to Zhuowei's list of MCPE's texture names.
  • The texture can be also put in an array, formatted like this:
[["bottom texture",type],["top texture",type],["south texture",type],["north texture",type],["west texture",type],["east texture",type]]
  • If you wanted to use a type texture, it's simple! Just put an array into the "texture" param and do the array like this: ["texture name",type]. It's that simple!
  • materialSourceId doesn't really work. If it is not set it will not drop anything when the block is broken but nothing really happens (the noise always is walk over stone but all that will happen I believe is that it will become easier to break with axes for example.
  • The opaque parameter is simple, if it is set to false, then in the inventory it will be displayed as transparent. If true though, then it will have blackness when held.
  • The render types are used to render the block, but something annoying is: the block will still be (in shape) rendered as a full block. If you want to know the render types, go to the render type list and scroll down to block render types.

setShape

function Block.setShape(id,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2);
  • Sets the shape of a block.
  • The id parameter lets you specify which block.
  • Use all the x,y,z parameters to show shape.

setColor

function Block.setColor(id,color);
  • Sets the color of a block in HTML.
  • id is used to pick the block.
  • To set the color, 1. Use an array like this: [] 2. Use 0x instead of # 3. Only use 6 letters/numbers for the HTML color. Example:
Block.setColor(1,[0xFF0000]);

setDestroyTime

function Block.setDestroyTime(id,time);
  • Sets the destroy time of a block.
  • Does not use seconds per 1 in time. If you need to know the destroy times on blocks in Minecraft, go to the list of block destroy times.

setExplosionResistance

function Block.setExplosionResistance(id,resistance);
  • Sets the explosive resistance of a block.
  • In resistance, the resistance you put in, will be the exact same.
  • The resistance is measured in how many explosions.
  • So for example if you had 15 as it then 15 tnt explosions would destroy it.

setLightLevel

function Block.setLightLevel(id,level);
  • Changes how much light the block can dispense.
  • The maximum is 15 in the level parameter.
  • 15 is glowstone brightness and 10 is the brightness of redstone torches.

setLightOpacity

function Block.setLightOpacity(id,darkness);
  • Changes how much light can pass through the block.
  • The maximum is 10 in the darkness parameter.
  • 0 is the most amount of light can pass through and 10 is the least amount of light that can pass through.

setRenderLayer

function Block.setRenderLayer(id,renderLayer);
  • Sets transparency on blocks.
  • Render layer 1 is transparent.
  • Render layer 2 is translucent.
  • Render layer 0 is opaque.

Renderer

get

function Renderer.get(id)

Returns the renderer object with the given render type.

createHumanoidRenderer

function Renderer.createHumanoidRenderer()

Creates a new render type with a human model.

Methods and propertes on renderer objects

renderType

renderer.renderType

A read-only variable holding the render type ID for this renderer.

model

renderer.model

A read-only variable holding the model object for this renderer.

Methods and properties on model objects

getPart

model.getPart("partName")

Gets the model part by that given name. Currently defined names as of BlockLauncher 1.6.10:

  • head
  • body
  • leftArm
  • rightArm
  • leftLeg
  • rightLeg

Methods and properties on modelPart objects

This API was designed to resemble the Desktop Edition's ModelRenderer object, so documentation on that would help here.

setTextureOffset

modelPart.setTextureOffset(textureX, textureY, transparent)

Sets the location on the skin file where the texture of this model part should be read from.

addBox

modelPart.addBox(xOffset, yOffset, zOffset, width, height, depth, scale)

Adds a new box onto the model part.

clear

modelPart.clear()

Removes (clears) a model part.

setTextureSize

modelPart.setTextureSize(width, height)

setRotationPoint

modelPart.setRotationPoint(x, y, z)

Sets the point in which the model part rotates from.
