Model Interactions

What Are Interaction Types?

Interaction Types allow you to add special behaviors to your custom models. This means players can do things like sit on a chair model, use a custom furnace, or open storage directly from your model.

Available Interaction Types:

• SIT: Allows players to sit on the model.

• FURNACE: Turns the model into a working furnace.

• STORAGE: Gives the model storage capabilities like a chest.

• CRAFT: Makes the model act as a crafting table.

• ENDER_CHEST: Provides access to the player's Ender Chest.

• COMMAND: Executes a command when the model is interacted with.

• CONSOLE_COMMAND: Executes a command from console (can use %player%)

• LIGHT: Create a toggleable light. Right click the model to turn it on and off.

• REPLACE_ITEM: Create a replaceable displayed item in model (material must be AIR), will drop item when broken or replaced by another item

Put a cooked steak

Right click with empty hand to remove

Or put anything else

Important Note: You can assign only one interaction per model.

There is a ~200 interactive models limit per chunk.

How to Use Interaction Types

General Guidelines

• Assigning Interactions: Interactions are assigned to specific parts of your model in Blockbench.

• SIT Interaction: The part you assign the SIT interaction to matters because players will sit on that exact part.

• Other Interactions: For interactions like FURNACE, STORAGE, etc., it doesn't matter which part you assign them to; interacting with any part will trigger the function.

Examples

    value: "msg %player% Hi" # Command, ran by console, allows %player% variable

Light
