Regenerating Blocks

Regenerating Blocks is a cross-loader Minecraft mod for Fabric and Forge that adds a special block which can regenerate into another block after a delay.

Features

A regenerating block that can be configured to restore a target block
Timer-based regeneration
Block/item tooltip information
Command support for setting up regenerating blocks
Jade integration for extra block info where available

Commands

The mod adds a command for creating a correctly configured regenerating block item:

/regeneratingblocks <target> <block> <timer>

<target> — one or more players who should receive the item
<block> — the block that this regenerating block will restore
<timer> — regeneration time in ticks, minimum 1

Example:

/regeneratingblocks @p minecraft:diamond_ore 1200

This gives the selected player a regenerating block item with the correct TargetBlock and Timer NBT values already set.

Global regenerating blocks via tags

You can also make any block a globally regenerating block by adding it to a block tag whose path starts with regenerating/.

The mod reads tags in the following format:

data/regeneratingblocks/tags/blocks/regenerating/<timer>.json

Where:

regeneratingblocks is the mod namespace
<timer> is the regeneration time in ticks
the JSON file contains the blocks that should use that timer

Example file: data/regeneratingblocks/tags/blocks/regenerating/1200.json

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
	"minecraft:diamond_ore",
	"minecraft:deepslate_diamond_ore"
  ]
}

Any block included in that tag will be treated as a regenerating block with a 1200 tick delay when broken.

Configuration

Сonfig and currently includes:

defaultTimer — default regeneration time in ticks
defaultBlock — fallback block used when no target block is provided
