= | == Introduction == | ||
A block entity is a construct that you can tack onto an existing block to give it additional functionality. Whenever a block should do something on a regular interval or store extra information, such as the contents of a chest block, you need a block entity. | |||
== The Texture Flipper == | |||
Let's take our [[Basic block]] that we already created and make it flip between a gold and silver texture every 3 seconds. We'll use "Textureflipper" as our unique identifier for this new block entity. | |||

TBD | |||
== Attaching the Block Entity == | |||
Open the blocktype json file and add the following line. This will attach the block entity-to-be to our block. | |||
The only new property is the <code>class</code>: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="json"> | |||
entityClass: "Textureflipper", | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
