## Custom Blocks Tutorial With ModAPI
This tutorial will show you how to make custom blocks with ModAPI. It will use my AsyncSink library to load the resources for the block.
This tutorial will be making a block with the durability of dirt that explodes when broken.

As always, we'll start with the default boilerplate starter code:
```javascript
(function CustomBlock() {
    ModAPI.meta.title("Custom Block Demo");
    ModAPI.meta.version("v1.0");
    ModAPI.meta.description("Adds a block that blows up when used.");
    ModAPI.meta.credits("By ZXMushroom63");
})();
```
Let's get our blocks texture done ahead of time.
In general, you use data URLs to store assets for mods. These are really inefficient, but this doesn't matter when the texture is 16x16 pixels. Make a texture (keep it nice and small) and convert it to a base64 data uri. I use [https://www.site24x7.com/tools/image-to-datauri.html](https://www.site24x7.com/tools/image-to-datauri.html) to convert my images.
Store this at the beginning of the function using a constant. Also use that constant to set the mod's icon.
```javascript
(function CustomBlock() {
    const texture =

    ModAPI.meta.title("Custom Block Demo");
    ModAPI.meta.version("v1.0");

    ModAPI.meta.credits("By ZXMushroom63");

    ModAPI.meta.icon(texture);

```
Let's start work on the part of registering the custom block that occurs on both the server and the client: making a class and registering it as both a `Block` and a `BlockItem`, and adding it to the creative inventory.
```javascript
function GlobalBlockRegistrationCode() {
    //future code here
}
ModAPI.dedicatedServer.appendCode(GlobalBlockRegistrationCode);
GlobalBlockRegistrationCode();
```

In the `GlobalBlockRegistrationCode()` function, add this nested function, which we'll use later to fixup the blockmap after we register new blocks.
```javascript
function GlobalBlockRegistrationCode() {
    function fixupBlockIds() { //function to correct ids for block states after registering a new item
        var blockRegistry = ModAPI.util.wrap(ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.block.Block").staticVariables.blockRegistry).getCorrective(); //get the blockregistry, corrected for weird property suffixes
        var BLOCK_STATE_IDS = ModAPI.util.wrap(ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.block.Block").staticVariables.BLOCK_STATE_IDS).getCorrective(); //get the BLOCK_STATE_IDS variable, also corrected for weird teavm suffixes
        blockRegistry.registryObjects.hashTableKToV.forEach(entry => { //Go through the key-to-value map entries of ID to Block
            if (entry) { //if the entry exists
                var block = entry.value; //get the block
                var validStates = block.getBlockState().getValidStates(); //get the blocks valid states
                var stateArray = validStates.array || [validStates.element]; //get the array of valid states. TeaVM will use .array when there are multiple values, and .element when there is only one. This just accounts for edge cases.
                stateArray.forEach(iblockstate => { //For each valid block state
                    var i = blockRegistry.getIDForObject(block.getRef()) << 4 | block.getMetaFromState(iblockstate.getRef()); //Do some bitwise math to get the id for that blockstate
                    BLOCK_STATE_IDS.put(iblockstate.getRef(), i); //Store it in the BLOCK_STATE_IDS map.
                });
            }
        });
    }
}
```
To make our own block, we'll need the following data:
- The `Item` class
- The `Block` class
- The `IProperty` class
- The `BlockState` constructor
- The `super()` function for the `Block` class;
- A `CreativeBlock` tab. I'll use `tabBlock`
Since I'll be doing the equivalent of `@Override`ing the `blockBreak` method in java (to make the block explode when broken), i'll need to get the `blockBreak` method. (java equivalent of `super.blockBreak()` in the overrided method.)

```javascript
function GlobalBlockRegistrationCode() {
    function fixupBlockIds() {
        //...
    }

    var ItemClass = ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.item.Item");
    var BlockClass = ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.block.Block");
    var IPropertyClass = ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty");

    var blockStateConstructor = ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.block.state.BlockState")
        .constructors
        .find(x => x.length === 2);
    
    var blockSuper = ModAPI.reflect.getSuper(blockClass, (x) => x.length === 2); //Get the super function for the block

    var creativeBlockTab = ModAPI.reflect.getClassById("net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs")
        .staticVariables
        .tabBlock; //The block tab in the creative inventory
        
    var breakBlockMethod = blockClass.methods.breakBlock.method; //Get the break block method

    
}
```
