[1.8]Creating custom blockstates?

[Looke81]

Hi I want it so that when I set a blocks state I can define weather or not it will give people a potion effect when they walk over it. However I think you would need to create your own block state for this and I am not sure if that is the best way to go about it.

Just create your own block?

There was a method that is called everytime an entity is standing above ur block, I am nhot sure which it was.. Override that

I dont want to have to make a block for like 7 different potion effects because it would be easier not to.

well then still use the method, but make a switch with the actual metadata
