Block pile feature

The block_pile can be used to place piles of blocks (for example hay/melons in villages) in the world.

Configuration

A block pile feature only has the state_provider option:

Option	Type	Description
`state_provider`	A `BlockStateProvider`	The block state to use for the pile.

In code, the BlockPileConfiguration class is used to configure the feature.

Example

As an example, here's the placed and configured feature used to place piles of hay bales in villages.

KotlinJson

ConfiguredFeatures.kt

val PILE_HAY = FeatureRegistry.registerConfiguredFeature(
    Machines,
    "pile_hay",
    Feature.BLOCK_PILE,
    BlockPileConfiguration(RotatedBlockProvider(Blocks.HAY_BLOCK)) // (1)!
)

Randomly rotate the hay bales.

PlacedFeatures.kt

val PILE_HAY = FeatureRegistry.registerPlacedFeature(
    Machines,
    "pile_hay",
    ConfiguredFeatures.PILE_HAY,
    emptyList() // (1)!
)

The feature does all the location resolving itself.
