 Function commands.getBlockInfo | |
Available only to Command Computers, returns a table containing information on the block at the specified world co-ordinate, formatted as follows:
{
state = table state information
name = string block's name,
metadata = number block's metadata
}
The block inspected will be in the same dimension as the computer. This function yields until the data is available to be returned. If the queried block exists in an ungenerated chunk, this function will cause that chunk to be generated. The "state" sub-table is only present in Minecraft 1.8+, and contains the block state info for the block being observed. For example, a log of wood's state table contains the keys "variant" (which may be set to eg "oak"), and "axis" (which may be set to eg "y", indicating an upright orientation).
