Overview

minecraft:behavior.take_block is an entity component: it goes in the components object of a custom mob, or in one of its component groups. Lets the entity pick up a block from the world and carry it around, like an enderman. Pair it with place_block so it can put the block down again.

`blocks`	Block Descriptor[]	none	Which blocks may be picked up. Leave empty to allow any block.
`can_take`	Filter Group	`{"AND":null,"NOT":null,"OR":null,"all":null,"all_of":null,"any":null,"any_of":null,"none_of":null}`	Conditions that must be true for the entity to try taking a block.
`on_take`	ActorDefinitionTrigger	`{"event":"","filters":{"AND":null,"NOT":null,"OR":null,"all":null,"all_of":null,"any":null,"any_of":null,"none_of":null},"target":"self"}`	Event that runs after a block is taken.
