Is this even possible with MCreator?

I am brand new to MCreator, and am wondering if my idea is even possible to do with it. What I want is basically to create blocks that, once placed, will actually place multiple blocks at a time. For instance: Decompressing Cobblestone block. I want to be able to craft 3x3 cobble in a crafting table to create decompressing cobble. Once place down by the player it would convert to a 3x3 cobblestone wall in front of them. Am I even explaining this well? Ugh. I have to assume it's possible, I just don't see anything in the procedures list that remotely sounds like what I need. If I can figure it out, I could create a different sort of building mod. I want to be able to eventually create 2x Decompressing Cobble, that would create a 9x9 wall, etc.. I'd even like to do VCompressed(vertical), and HCompressed(horzontal) so instead of crafting 3x3 of cobble, you could put 3 cobble in a vertical column, and when it is placed it would build a 3 block tower of cobble. The 2x compressed version of this would place down a 9 block tall tower, etc....

Let me guess. It has to do with registering the x,y,z of where the block is placed, and repeating a function to place blocks by adjusting the x, y, z up down left or right depending on what you want the specific block to do?

You can do it pretty easily using few stacked for loops.

Which version are you using?

If you are using version 1.7.9 of MCreator I can send you a screenshot of what you need to do.

I am currently using 1.7.9 of MCreator, yes. That would be very helpful, Pikachu. Just some idea of which process parts I'll need. I have a hard time determining when I have all the parts I need with this thing. lol.

Yes it is possible. Let me break it down for you:

- Make a schematic of the cobblestone wall you're talking about and import it into your workspace folder (Create > Schematic > Import it there)

- Create a procedure that places the schematic at X Y Z (you may have to fiddle with the exact relative coordinates to get it to spawn where you want)

- In your block's creation menu on page 5 (click next 4 times) make the "on block added" event run your custom procedure you just made.

- Presto! Your block will now spawn the schematic when it's placed!

Yeah that is basically what you do, but I don't use schematics.
