Is it possible to modify tags of a block in world (for example - when clicked)

[DasHutch]

I'd like to modify a tag when a block is (not just a block within my mod - ie vanilla block, other mod blocks, etc)

I'm still digging through the codebase but I'm new to Forge modding so was hoping for a pointer or two on what I should look into. Happy to do the research, just looking for a little guidance if possible.

Specifically, I'm using an item on a block: code example below (also I assume I'll need to use level.setBlock once modified)

@Override
public InteractionResult useOn(UseOnContext context) {
    // This will get me the tags on the block... 
	// context.getLevel().getBlockState(context.getClickedPos()).getTags();
}

ah, ok so I’d need another approach.

Overall goal would be to click any block with an item and do two things - consume item (which I can do) and mark that block as non spawnable.

It seems like I’ll have to just use a set, or map and keep track of these separately… unless there’s someway to “wrap” every block at registration time with a new blockstate that includes an added property but that didn’t seem possible either not the right approach to me naïvely

just that particular block position (and any additional block positions that are clicked with the same item)

Ah, ok so I’ll dig into capabilities. Thank you so much for the assistance! looking forward to learning more about these systems today and seeing where I end up. Have a great day!
