[1.19.2] On explode spawn blocks?

[Feroov]

So I got a perfectly working custom TNT, any ideas how I can on explode spawn blocks around the dead "primed tnt" entity? 

[warjort]

Define "spawn blocks".

 

You can spawn a FallingBlockEntity?

Or maybe you mean an ItemEntity?

Or maybe you just want to Level.setBlock()?

 

 Spawning blocks is something you could do with the old "wand of animation". 

But I don't think anybody has ported the erebus mod to recent versions of minecraft. 🙂

I apologize for explaining it badly, yes something like level.setblock so a good idea to understand would be imagine a normal hole in the overworld, say you use this custom tnt inside the hole, it will fill up the hole with dirt does that make sense? Here is a mod for reference though this is for fabric unfortunately obviously need for forge:

That uses Level.setBlockAndUpdate() or the yarn equivalent.

Would I call setBlockAndUpdate inside the tick method from Primed entity or should it be called from the tnt block class?

[warjort]

That mod does it from a mixin, but it looks entirely unnecessary.

They obviously don't understand how subclasses work. 🙂

All you need to do is override the explode() method of PrimedTnt and do your custom explode processing.
