Modding:Block Entity Classes

From Vintage Story Wiki

Using block Entity 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.

A majority of all block entities can be viewed at the Vintage Story Github here for those looking to learn more about each.

Additionally, all mechanical block entities can be found here.
