Multi-Part functionality Question.

[Lambda]

Hello,

 

So I have here a block, when placed on a machine, will allow it to communicated with the network and transfer energy.

 

However the model is small, and I would like to be able to place it anywhere on the block, and possibly make it so you can place a block in the same space.

 

Any idea how I would do that?

TileEntities and using TEs with Blockstates.

Edit: As well as a custom ItemBlock that handles setting the block and then editing the TEs data that corresponds to placement. And if anywhere includes anywhere on the y level you would need a way to handle that your self.

For real multipart functionality (multiple blocks in a single block space) you would need to use a multipart API like MCMP.
