Modding:Block Entity Classes

Using block classes

May blocks that have interactive functions will require using a block entity to accomplish. When your block requires the use of a block entity you assign it using the following property format in the JSON:

entityClass: "Entity"

NOTE: Although they are referenced in JSONS as "Anvil", "Bed" etc. Block Entity class files themselves use the BEAnvil, BEBed naming convention.
