TILE
uses tile blocks (modified spawner with custom skin). It's not an entity but it have some downsides. Good thing is that you can create infinite blocks, there is no amount limit like REAL blocks.
downsides:
not a 100% real block, it's a retextured spawner
texture/model vanishes on high distance, so it will reveal the spawner vanilla texture
it could cause clientside lag if A LOT of blocks are in the player field of view, but only on lowend PCs.
FIRE
this is a special type of block, it's the fire block.
downsides:
only a max of 14 custom fires is possible, so be sure to create only the ones you need.
REAL
andREAL_NOTE

rotx
and roty
rotx
and roty
This allows you to specify a rotation for a particular model. This is an option for expert users. The specified rotation is STATIC, it's not dynamic. This is useful only if you want to create multiple variants of the same block without having to create a separate model manually.
placeable_on_water
placeable_on_water
This allows to make some blocks placeable directly on water surface.
placeable_on_lava
placeable_on_lava
This allows to make some blocks placeable directly on lava surface.

Special property which allows to specify custom variants for that block. Accepts the same properties shown in the Minecraft wiki models page.
Example:
drop_when_mined
drop_when_mined

drop_on_shears

drop_on_silk_touch
drop_on_silk_touch
Available since ItemsAdder 4.0.9

Tools blacklist and whitelist
You can set "_PICKAXE" so every pickaxe will match the list rule, also "_AXE" as the plugin checks if the material name contains the word you set in the rule. It also works for custom items ids, so for example if you set "ruby_" every ruby tool will work (ruby_pickaxe, ruby_axe...)
break_tools_blacklist
break_tools_blacklist
Blacklist of tools that cannot break this block
break_tools_whitelist
break_tools_whitelist
Whitelist of tools that can break this block
events_tools_blacklist

)
no_explosion

Totally immune from explosions, ignoring blast_resistance
sounds
sounds
hit
, step
and fall
sounds require ItemsAdder 3.6.3b or greater.

Example using vanilla sounds
Example using custom sounds
permission_suffix
permission_suffix
This property allows you to enable permissions for the block place and block break events. This setting is not specified by default because we want players to be able to break and place blocks freely. Players would need explicit permissions if you specify these properties:
ia.user.block.break.iasurvival.ruby_ore
ia.user.block.place.iasurvival.ruby_ore
Use the official files editor to read all the properties
Files editorDrop experience from block
1. Add the experience drop directly in the custom block creation
This has a downside, you can only set the experience drop to custom blocks, not to vanilla blocks.
2. Add the exp drop to loots
This is the best way because you can also apply this to vanilla blocks types and you can add as many as exp settings you want. This allows you to add more randomness and dynamicity to your drops.
