Proper way to read information about the block in the world

I am looking for a way to read information about the block in the world and save that information to a file system.

Later on, I would like to place that block back in the world based on the information from file system.

1) I can access BlockState but I am not sure what would be the proper identifier for specific block state? E.g. if stairs are turned to the north, how would I access information about that specific state of the stairs?

2) For information about the type of block, I can use block.getRegistryName() - is that proper way to get string identifier for specific block?

3) ForgeRegistries.BLOCK.getValue accepts registry name of block. Is that a proper way to get instance of a block based on the registry name stored before?

4) Block class has stateById method that accepts Id. Is this proper way to get specific BlockState? If yes, how can I get the Id parameter?

I have been struggling with this for a while so any help would be appreciated. :)

Thank you @diesieben07 , this was exactly what I was looking for.

Regarding to best approach to write to file system - can you please point me in the right direction, I would like to use Minecraft/Forge API if one is available. :)

My plan is to have collected information exported in JSON format to file system.

I am trying to extract information about the specific structure into a JSON file that will be used as a template to reconstruct the structure through custom made block.

When custom block is placed in the world, it will read information from JSON file and place blocks in the same exact order so that structure is reproduced.

That's the idea. :)

This is not going to be part of any publicly distributed mod.

It's more of developer tool to export structures in a fast way.

Because I am new to modding and I have no clue what WorldSavedData or Capability is - basically. :)

So I have this block named PinpointerBlock that should be placed on three locations.

When the block is activated on the blue position, it should read information about everything between and save it to JSON.

That's the whole idea. :)

      Oculus crashing

      By Topgunstriker · Posted

      So am trying to make a custom 1.19.2 modpack and everything works until I add Oculus. I have tried Oculus+Embedium and Oculus+Rubdium and by themselves they work but as soon as I add anything it crashes no matter what it is. The modpack works fine with just Embedium and Rubdium. Can you help me to see if this is something i can fix or do i just have to deal with not having shaders. Here is the crash log. Thank you for your time. https://paste.ee/p/WXfNZ24K

      1.21.4 - Item textures not displaying

      By Ezio214 · Posted

      I haven't tested it but under https://minecraft.wiki/w/Items_model_definition it says now:   So I guess the resource location must have changed with 1.24.4, which means you need to move your models/item/ to the new source. But as I said I haven't tested this so it also may be that this wont work. Nevertheless give it a try      EDIT (important) So now I tested it and found out how it works   Let the model files (e.g. the .json from blockbench) within "assets/<your_mod_id>/models/item" In addition to that do the following: Every model you added will need a new file under "assets/<your_mod_id>/items" That file is also a JSON and looks like this: { "model": { "type": "minecraft:model", "model": "your_mod_id:item/custom_item" } } - "type" can be minecraft:model, minecraft:composite, minecraft:condition, minecraft:select, minecraft:range_dispatch, minecraft:empty, minecraft:bundle/selected_item or minecraft:special. (In most cases you would need minecraft:model) - "model" is the path to your actual model for this item. For example the value above would point to "assets/your_mod_id/models/item/custom_item"
