Heyo!
Here is what I am looking to do:
(1) when I right-click a certain block with any item, it will spawn the floating/dropped entity form of the item above the block
(2) make the item entity not able to be interacted with (it will float above the block like a dropped item, but will not be able to be picked up)
Here is what I tried:
- I tried using the "Spawn Entity:" block in the World Procedures as "Spawn Entity: (Item) at:..." but I couldn't figure out how to make it work
- I tried finding the Data ID of the entity form of an item (Minecraft wiki shows it as "entity.minecraft.item") but I don't know how I can summon based on an ID
If you can figure out any of this, please let me know!
Thanks!
The possible solution I can imagine is to create a custom animated entity a similar size to vanilla dropped items with a constant y axis rotation and height loop, and disable movement, health and collision on it.(Maybe hit box too?) Though it would difficult to create and code those for ANY(Every?) item.
I know if you remove a custom blocks bounding boxes the player cannot break it once placed.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I was considering that as a last resort, but just looking to see if it's possible to use the "Spawn Entity" and using the "Item" choice (in that block) to get the item entity of a specific item.
