 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:
{
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. See also: Data Values @ MineCraft wiki | |
