You can then use
setBlocks
, adding the coordinates of the player's location to indi-
cate where you would like the blocks to be placed:
mc.setBlocks(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, pos.x + 10, ;
pos.y + 10, pos.z + 10, block.MELON)
You may ind that you end up inside this cube because the irst set of coordinates is the
player's position! You could change the location coordinates in the same way:
mc.setBlocks(pos.x + 5, pos.y + 5, pos.z, pos.x + 10, ;
pos.y + 10, pos.z + 10, block.MELON)
Try this yourself by modifying your existing code, and see if you can get it to work.
