minecraft:block_entity is a block component: it goes in the components object of a custom block. Gives each placed copy of the block its own saved data, so one block can remember things that its neighbors do not. Use it for storage blocks or blocks that scripts keep track of.
Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
dynamic_properties | boolean | false | When true, scripts can save and read their own values on each placed block. |
container | container | none | Gives the block an inventory that can hold items, like a chest or barrel. |
Example
Inside the components object of BP/blocks/<name>.json (values are the defaults or placeholders):
BP/blocks/<name>.json
{
"minecraft:block_entity": {
"dynamic_properties": false,
"container": {}
}
}
