Custom Blocks: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:26, 3 July 2026

Custom Blocks are non-vanilla blocks which have unique purposes on Horizon's End.

Ores

Aluminum Ore is an ore block which can be mined to obtain 1 Raw Aluminum.
Chetherite Ore is an ore block which can be mined to obtain 1 Chetherite.
Titanium Ore is an ore block which can be mined to obtain 1 Raw Titanium.
Uranium Ore is an ore block which can be mined to obtain 1 Raw Uranium.

Ore Blocks

An Aluminum Block is crafted from 9 Aluminum Ingots.
A Chetherite Block is crafted from 9 Chetherite.
A Titanium Block is crafted from 9 Titanium Ingots.
A Uranium Block is crafted from 9 Uranium.
A Raw Aluminum Block is crafted from 9 Raw Aluminum.
A Raw Titanium Block is crafted from 9 Raw Titanium.
A Raw Uranium Block is crafted from 9 Raw Uranium.

Processed Blocks

A Steel Block is crafted from 9 Steel Ingots.
An Enriched Uranium Block is crafted from 9 Enriched Uranium.
A Netherite Casing is crafted from 6 Netherite Blocks, and is used in the construction of Tier 4 Mining Lasers.
A Superconductor Block is crafted from 9 Superconductors.

Reactor Cores

A Battlecruiser Reactor Core must be housed inside of a Supercapital Reactor in order to pilot a Battlecruiser.
A Cruiser Reactor Core must be housed inside of a Supercapital Reactor in order to pilot a Cruiser.
A Barge Reactor Core must be housed inside of a Supercapital Reactor in order to pilot a Barge.

Technical Background

As plugins can’t add new blocks directly, Horizon’s End uses brown mushroom blocks as a visual placeholder for some custom blocks. Because each of its 6 faces can be either connected or not, there are 2⁶=64 distinct blockstate configurations. With a texture pack, each configuration can be rendered with a different texture.

Table of all configurations
	f,f,f	f,f,t	f,t,f	f,t,t	t,f,f	t,f,t	t,t,f	t,t,t
f,f,f	unused	Small Reactor Core	Uranium Ore	Titanium Ore	Raw Uranium Block	Mini reactor Core	Chetherite Block	Aluminum Block
f,f,t	Raw Aluminum Block	unused	Aluminum Ore	Battlecruiser Reactor Core	Scordite Ore	unused	unused	unused
f,t,f	Raw Titanium Block	Enriched Uranium Block	Scordite Block	unused	unused	unused	Titanium Block	unused
f,t,t	Assembly Core	Barge Reactor Core	Chetherite Ore	unused	unused	Uranium Block	unused	unused
t,f,f	Large Reactor Core	unused	Vanadium Block	Zircon Block	Superconductor Block	unused	Steel Block	block texture only
t,f,t	Vanadium Ore	Cruiser Reactor Core	unused	Netherite Casing	unused	block texture only	unused	unused
t,t,f	Medium Reactor Core	unused	Zircon Ore	Atavum Ore	unused	Fluid Valve	block texture only	block texture only
t,t,t	unused	Fluid Port (item texture missing)	unused	Atavum Block	unused	block texture only	unused	unused

To get the blockstates for a block in the table, add the row value infront of the column value, they are ordered as shown: brown_mushroom_block[down=true/false,east=true/false,north=true/false,south=true/false,up=true/false,west=true/false].

So the Steel Block for example is t,f,f,t,t,f - brown_mushroom_block[down=true,east=false,north=false,south=true,up=true,west=false].
