What it does

Create Block is an agent skill from Mojang/minecraft-creator-tools. Create a new placeable block for a Minecraft Bedrock Edition add-on from a plain description, or change an existing one, such as a decorative, glowing, ore, crate, slab, stairs, or light-source block, including its texture, sounds, mining time, drops, which way it faces, and whether it generates in the world. Use this whenever someone wants a new block or wants to change one of their blocks, for example "make a glowing mushroom block you can harvest", "add a ruby ore that generates underground", "create a stone…

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/placement-and-worldgen.md`).

It sits in Game Development. It works with Java and Ruby. The repository describes itself as: A set of tools for creating content and add-ons for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

When your agent uses it

  • Game Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “make a glowing mushroom block you can harvest”
  • “add a ruby ore that generates underground”
  • “create a stone brick variant”
  • “/create-block”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the request
  2. Pick the project folder and namespace
  3. Generate with createMinecraftContent
  4. Check what was generated
  5. Give it a readable name
  6. Texture
  7. Validate
  8. Tell the user

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8f2cd2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • node
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Create Block loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 218 tokens; SKILL.md has 856 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~218
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 856 words (~2,032 tokens).

“A block needs a behavior pack definition, a texture registered in terrain_texture.json, an entry in the resource pack's blocks.json, and often a loot table. For a new block, the Minecraft Creator Tools MCP tool createMinecraftContent writes these from one definition…”
