setBlock set only 'Sandstone'

[Domroon]

I run a spigot server and the JuiciyRaspberryPie Plugin in the Version 1.18.1 and i can only set 'Sandstone' Blocks. What's wrong here?

import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft
import mcpi.block

mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create('127.0.0.1')
x, y, z = mc.player.getTilePos()

mc.setBlock(x+2, y, z, mcpi.block.AIR.id)
mc.setBlock(x+2, y+1, z, mcpi.block.DOOR_WOOD.id, 8)
mc.setBlock(x+2, y, z, mcpi.block.DOOR_WOOD.id, 0)

try this
mc.setBlock(x+2, y, z, "AIR")
and
mc.setBlock(x+2, y+1, z, "DOOR_WOOD", 8)

Any ideas of how to make all scripts written with ID but not a string as parameter work again?

You need to create a simple dictionary...

blocks = {
    0: "AIR",
    1: "GRASS" 
}

oh no... that's not the best way. I wish I could change something in mcpi files to bring it to life.
The most serious troubles are blocks with combined ids. In previous versions It looked like mc.setBlock(x,y,z, 35, 15) for lime_wool as an example. Now I can hardly redesign it with a dictionary. Also such dictionary is a real overhead.

Try to use original mcpi

unfortunately it doesn't help =(

I have a solution for this:
cjdell/mcpi@5ba6bd6

In short:

mc.setBlock(1, 2, 3, mcpi.block.TNT.id)

needs to be:

mc.setBlock(1, 2, 3, 'tnt')

This is because the newer protocol now needs the actual string representation of the block type passed over the connection rather than the integer ID. Not sure when exactly this became the case.

You will need to install my fork of the mcpi library from here:

I think you can install with pip using this command:

pip install git+https://github.com/cjdell/mcpi
