Displaying a Block Created by Datapack

Here is a page for datapack developers about how to display the correct information of a server-side block. Jade supports server-side blocks that are displayed by an item display entity. Jade will use the displayed item as the icon and name of the block.

Assigning the Block ID

You can assign an ID to your block so Jade can:

  • Show the correct mod name
  • Look up recipes in-world with Polydex

To do so, you need to add a $jade:stack tag to the item's custom data:

{
    "$jade:stack": {
        "id": "mymod:my_block"
    }
}

Then add a translation for your mod's name:

en_us.json
{
  "jade.modName.mymod": "My Mod",
  "itemGroup.mymod": "My Mod (alternative)"
}
