How can you exactly make a custom suspicious sand? like i mean one with all the animations etc. etc. has anyone discovered a way of doing so? any sort of solution that involves modifying a element's cdde is welcome!
You don't necessarily need to modify the code, it is a bit tedious though, and it won't look exactly like vanilla sus sand. And if you do this before the archeology update, be aware Mojang will likely decide to finish adding archeology to the game after your mod releases. Just, uh, fair warning. X)
But you can mimic the behavior- the way my system works is that when the player right clicks a suspicious block, it transforms into another, lower level block, and repeatedly right clicking slowly decreases the layers a random amount. (The goal is to get as close to one layer without going over, with better loot for more layers, sort of like the demo archeology system.) I'm not entirely sure how you'd detect a continuous right click, as in the current system, but it may be possible.
Otherwise, the basic idea is to replace the block with an increasingly-mined variant every time it's right clicked, and then when the block breaks, you can run a /loot command to drop a random item from any loot table you've made.
I'd be interested if you find a solution to the sustained right click thing though. There's presumably some method to do it- you might try investigating the suspicious sand code, you can locate minecraft source files if you go to the file tab on the far left of the workspace, and navigate to external libraries/gradle forge 1.20.1/net/minecraft/world. Otherwise I'm not 100% sure.
