How do find x,y,z coordinates of a block I created.

[XSoloDolo]

Basically what i'm going to do is create a block so that whenever it is placed it spawns a mob on the blocks location and i need to know how to get that blocks coordinates.

Blocks do not store coordinate knformation about where it's placed.

The world stores a block id at each coordinate and uses Block.BlockList[blockId] to retrive info about a block from it's ID.

 

See TGGs brilliant post about how minecraft blocks works here:

Ps: check the other posts as well for more info on how minecraft works!

 

You have two choices, you can look into TilEntities which know the coords at which their block is located. Or simply use the method which places the block there.

 

Check the block.java file and you will find several methods related to the block being placed, usualy it has 3 ing values which are x,y,z and a reference to the world
