I want to make a block that instantly killes you, this is what I have done so far:

public class ModDeathBlock extends Block {

 

public ModDeathBlock(Material materialIn) {

super(materialIn, MapColor.RED);

this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 2);

this.setSoundType(SoundType.STONE);

}

 

@Override

public void onEntityWalk(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, Entity entityIn) {

if (entityIn instanceof EntityLivingBase) {

entityIn.attackEntityFrom(ModElements.death_block, 100000000 * 100000000);

if(entityIn.isSneaking()){

entityIn.attackEntityFrom(ModElements.death_block, 100000000 * 100000000);

}

}

}

 

}

 

The problem is that entitys/players don't take any damages when sneaking or touching it from the side, how should I fix it?

Maybe Block#onEntityCollidedWithBlock? I've never tried anything like what you're doing, but it might be worth looking into!

When I have done this previously, I had to shrink the collision box fractionally, as the collision wouldn't register unless the entity was inside the block space. I am not sure if this has been changed or if it is still the case. I am also unsure how that would work with the new model system, as the last time I did it was around 1.3, so I could easily have the textures remain the full block, but the collision fractionally smaller.

I could maybe change the collision box to 0.9999999999999 or something. I'll test it now

I didn't work so well. S = Stone, D = Death block:

 

SDS When running over it the player doesn't sink down on the death block before it's already over, so if this should work perfectly then I need a new sollution.

Does it has to be a full block the one that kills you? Can't it just be a platform smaller, like the pressure plates?

 

If you need a full block, I would think on creating an invisible block above the one and make that one the block that kills you, but not sure if that could be easily implemented.

 

Also... Have you take a look at the code on the Ice Blocks? Those are full blocks and affect players above them right? Maybe there is something there that can be used.

I'll take a look on ice blocks thank you

Unfortunely ice just sets a slippery value, so I don't think that code would be usefull.

Give the block a bounding box smaller than a full block by storing the

AxisAlignedBB

in a static final field and overriding

Block#getCollisionBoundingBox

to return it. You can then override

Block#onEntityCollidedWithBlock

to damage the colliding entity.

 

The bounding box is unrelated to the model, so your block can still look like a full cube.

Two things:

1) 0.999999999 is not small enough. You need 0.999 iirc

2) while sprinting a single block will not always catch onWalkedOn(), you can verify this with redstone
