[MCPE-63121] Custom Blocks fail to load if register_to_creative

All custom blocks that are registered to the creative menu fail to load with following error.

[Blocks][error]-block_definitions | C:/Users/%USER%/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds/NM5DXvP4AAA=/behavior_packs/FC_B | blocks/block_acacia.json | description | register_to_creative_menu | child 'register_to_creative_menu' not valid here.

I have attached the block file from this add-on and i have found some what of a work around to get it to work until it is fixed.

if you remove the property "register_to_creative_menu" from the description the blocks will load and function properly. (they will not be in the creative menu but they will be available for /give commands and everything else)

I hope this gets resolved quickly as it does make it much more tedious to test custom blocks.

Thanks

Correction,

The blocks can not be crafted (recipes do not work) if the property is not set.

Zephira 2020-02-21T02:02:11Z

still a problem in 1.15.0.53

Zephira 2020-03-12T02:13:51Z

Partially resolved in 1.15.0.56

The error no longer occurs when loading world and world loads as expected.
blocks appear in world.

but

the blocks do not appear in the creative menu.
the blocks do not appear in the menu as a selection when crafting recipes

AGamingPlayz 2020-03-12T04:03:08Z

yep, the bug still is there in the game.

you cannot get the blocks by the creative inventory and only by command even tho register_to_creative_menu is true

Could you please include a copy of the .mcpack file that should be expected to work?

I have built and attached a block add-on that demonstrates bugs MCPE 63121 and MCPE-63134

Zephira 2020-04-16T12:45:30Z

bug has gotten worse. The blocks no longer load and the following errors appear in log. (use same uploaded bugtest block that is attached to verify)

Using documentation provided in 1.16.0.61 i was able to update the json to reflect the new format. the blocks can now be summoned in the game with the /give command

However, they still do not appear in the creative menu.

(updated bugtest addon attached)

Wait so 1.16 is meant to drop tommorow and this issue still hasn't been addressed? 😿

Spane Boswell 2020-06-25T05:22:25Z

The issue currently affects 1.16.0.2.

Hadakava 2020-06-27T23:03:36Z

when will this bug be resolved, eh 😞 ?

Da4ThEdge 2020-07-01T13:21:43Z

can confirm on 1.16.1 win10 pc, I've tried these so far-

1. tested multiple custom blocks addons from different publishers
2. tested my own addon
3. tested the addons on an experimental world
4. removed "register_to_creative_menu" property
but no luck, the blocks are totally unobtainable, game doesn't even register them as a thing.

Game is showing recipe errors because it is unable to recognize those custom blocks, here's the log-

I have not played the release version for a while as i have been stuck on the Beta for months.

The only problem on the current beta (16.20.50), with Custom blocks, is that they do not show up in the creative menu / recipe options, etc..

Everything else functions properly and you can obtain them by /give commands.

They did change the json schema format a few beta versions ago so that may be why you are experiencing these problems.

I have attached a sample block above (bugtest.mcaddon) have a look at the json as an example.

Check if still affects beta 1.16.20.52

stuart ashby 2020-07-16T01:09:17Z

Checked with both Zephira's test and my own addon on Win 1.16.1 release. I confirm the issue is present as described. No errors logged, however the recipe for a custom block or item is not available to the user in creative menu nor suggested in the survival crafting bench menu when ingredients are available. Only vanilla recipes are available. (I did note that a custom entity's spawn egg remains available in creative mode, so that bit is not broken! I also tested with experimental gameplay switch on - no difference to behaviour.)

Chungui23 2020-08-20T17:29:28Z

Still affects beta 1.16.100.52

Zephira 2020-09-16T20:25:31Z

Documentation has been updated and Blocks now require the following elements to be removed from the Block description section in order for the blocks to load properly.

"register_to_creative_menu" & "is_experimental"

after this update

The blocks still do not appear in the creative menu
The blocks can be obtained by /give
The blocks appear in workbench recipes as expected

I have updated the Bugtest Addon that is attached to demonstrate this issue and other bugs I have reported.

The annoying thing about this bug to me is not being able to view crafting recipes. Unless you've memorized every mods recipes, it renders anything other than entity mods pretty pointless in survival.
