Description

🛠️ Pick NBT Block

Can't pick a block using the normal Pick Block button? Now you have another way!

This addon allows you to collect blocks that normally cannot be obtained through Pick Block. Simply hold Shears, sneak, and use them on a block to receive its corresponding item.

For example:

- 📱 [Normal Pick Block] on Chest (with loot) ➪ Normal Chest

- ✂️ [NBT Pick Block] on Chest (with loot) ➪ NBT Chest (with loot inside)

No more struggling to obtain NBT block on mobile📱!

✨ Features

Collect blocks that normal Pick Block cannot obtain. (NBT)
Alternative block picking.
Works with containers and various utility blocks.
Includes customisable block-to-item mappings.
Uses scripts to handle the picking process.
Works only in Creative mode.

🎮 How to Use

Hold Shears in your main hand.
Sneak (crouch).
Right-click / use the Shears on the block.
Receive the corresponding item!

✅ Supported Blocks

Some examples include:

Command Blocks & Structure Blocks
Lecterns – including books stored in them.
Suspicious Gravel – obtains its loot item.
Containers – Chests, Hoppers, Shulker Boxes, Shelves, Bookshelves, etc.
Water & Lava – source/floating blocks give their respective buckets.
Fire & Soul Fire – give Flint and Steel.

📦 NBT & Block Data Preservation

Unlike simply giving you a block item, this addon also preserves NBT data when picking supported blocks.

This means you can retrieve blocks with their stored information, such as:

Chests & Containers: Preserve stored contents.
Command Blocks: Preserve their stored command data.
Structure Blocks: Preserve their stored settings.
Lecterns & Books: Preserve supported book data.
Other supported blocks: Retain their available block data.

Build, copy, and reuse your configured blocks without losing their stored information!

❌ Not supported

The following are currently unsupported:

Entities – mobs and other entities. (e.g Minecart with Command block, zombie, armor stand)
Cauldrons – water, potions and dyed water.
Double blocks – for example, a Cake with Candle.
Composters -
Redstone-related blocks – for example, lit Redstone Ore and Redstone Dust.
Item Frame book data – use the game's normal Pick Block instead.

⚙️ Custom Pick Block Items

Want to add your own block mappings?

You can edit them directly in: scripts/main.js

Find:

const FALLBACK_ITEMS = {

Inside this section, add your block and the item you want to receive.

Example:

"minecraft:powder_snow": "minecraft:powder_snow_bucket",

Format: <block you see> <block you want>

This lets you customise what item you receive when using NBT Pick Block on a particular block.

🌟Tip: Use an Impulse + Always Active Command Block with any command. Placing the NBT will execute it once.
