	)

virtual

Whether or not the tile/wall at the given coordinates can be killed by an explosion (ie. bombs). Returns true by default; return false to stop an explosion from destroying it.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.

◆ CanPlace()

virtual bool Terraria.ModLoader.ModBlockType.CanPlace	(	int	i,
		int	j
	)

virtual

Allows you to stop this tile/wall from being placed at the given coordinates. Return false to stop the tile/wall from being placed. Returns true by default.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.

◆ CreateDust()

virtual bool Terraria.ModLoader.ModBlockType.CreateDust	(	int	i,
		int	j,
		ref int	type
	)

virtual

Allows you to modify the default type of dust created when the tile/wall at the given coordinates is hit. Return false to stop the default dust (the type parameter) from being created. Returns true by default.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.
type	The dust type that will be spawned by the calling code

◆ CreateMapEntryName()

ModTranslation Terraria.ModLoader.ModBlockType.CreateMapEntryName ( string key = null )

Creates a ModTranslation object that you can use in AddMapEntry.

Parameters

key	The key for the ModTranslation. The full key will be MapObject.ModName.key

Returns

◆ GetMapOption()

virtual ushort Terraria.ModLoader.ModBlockType.GetMapOption	(	int	i,
		int	j
	)

virtual

Allows you to choose which minimap entry the tile/wall at the given coordinates will use. 0 is the first entry added by AddMapEntry, 1 is the second entry, etc. Returns 0 by default.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.

◆ KillSound()

virtual bool Terraria.ModLoader.ModBlockType.KillSound	(	int	i,
		int	j
	)

virtual

Allows you to customize which sound you want to play when the tile/wall at the given coordinates is hit. Return false to stop the game from playing its default sound for the tile/wall. Returns true by default.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.

◆ ModifyLight()

virtual void Terraria.ModLoader.ModBlockType.ModifyLight	(	int	i,
		int	j,
		ref float	r,
		ref float	g,
		ref float	b
	)

virtual

Allows you to determine how much light this tile/wall emits.
If it is a tile, make sure you set Main.tileLighted[Type] to true in SetDefaults for this to work.
If it is a wall, it can also let you light up the block in front of this wall.
See Terraria.Graphics.Light.TileLightScanner.ApplyTileLight(Tile, int, int, ref Terraria.Utilities.FastRandom, ref Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector3) for vanilla tile light values to use as a reference.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.
r	The red component of light, usually a value between 0 and 1
g	The green component of light, usually a value between 0 and 1
b	The blue component of light, usually a value between 0 and 1

Allows you to change how many dust particles are created when the tile/wall at the given coordinates is hit.

Parameters

i	The x position in tile coordinates.
j	The y position in tile coordinates.
fail	If true, the tile is spawning dust for reasons other than the tile actually being destroyed. Worms, projectiles, and other effects cause dust to spawn aside from the usual case of the tile breaking.
