Custom dungeon blocks
Permission: ascension.gate.admin.block
The mana crystals and gemstone ores that generate inside dungeons are resource-pack note blocks. block give hands out placeable copies (a tagged NOTE_BLOCK); when you place one it re-stamps itself into the correct model, so you can build with them anywhere. all gives one of every block.
Placed outside a dungeon they behave as ordinary decorative blocks — break one and it drops itself back (survival) so you can re-place it, with none of the dungeon-only mining restriction. Inside an active dungeon the same blocks stay mineable ore nodes that drop gems/mana.
| ID | Block |
|---|---|
mana_green | Green mana crystal |
mana_yellow | Yellow mana crystal |
mana_purple | Purple mana crystal |
gem_green | Green gemstone ore (stone) |
gem_blue | Blue gemstone ore (stone) |
gem_gold | Gold gemstone ore (stone) |
gem_mossy_green | Green gemstone ore (mossy) |
gem_mossy_blue | Blue gemstone ore (mossy) |
gem_mossy_gold | Gold gemstone ore (mossy) |
Example: /gates admin block give Steve mana_purple 16 · /gates admin block give Steve all
These are the blocks. To hand out the mineral drops (sellable gems), use
/gates admin item givewith the loot item IDs instead.
Display Pedestal
Permission: ascension.gate.admin.item
The Display Pedestal is a registered item, so it hands out (and tab-completes) through the normal item command:
/gates admin item give <player> display_pedestal [amount]
/asc admin item give <player> display_pedestal [amount]Players place it, right-click to open it, and drop any item into the center slot to show it
above the stand (sneak + right-click picks it up). It is also sold in /ascshop under the
Collectibles tab.
The pedestal body is a real, mineable note-block (basedrum,note=9, mapped to an opaque
solid model so blocks behind it are not see-through — the ornate stand is still a display entity),
so it has an outline, collision and break animation. Mine it (owner/staff) to pick it up. Rebuild
AscensionCore and re-deliver the pack after model changes.
Each stand's owner picks a display mode (stationary / rotating / floating / rotate + float / laid flat), height, item size, upright, and an access lock:
- Locked — owner only.
- Claim — anyone who can build at the pedestal's location, resolved via GriefPrevention,
WorldGuard, or Towny (each toggleable under
pedestal.access.claim-providers). - Public — anyone.
Staff holding ascension.gate.admin (configurable via pedestal.access.admin-bypass-permission)
bypass every lock — open, swap, re-configure, or pick up any pedestal. Picking up and changing
settings is otherwise owner + staff only.
Its definition and look live in AscensionGates/pedestal.yml — the pedestal: section tunes
spin-degrees-per-second, float motion, item-scale/base-scale, offsets, light, and the
access: block (default mode, bypass permission, provider toggles). Edit it and run
/gates admin reload; changes re-apply to already-placed stands on the next tick.
