Fake blocks power · Origins: Powerful Powers Handbook

origins-powerful-powers:fake_blockspower type

While the holder has this power, blocks near them look different. It has two modes, and one power can use both.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`block`	Block state	required	What the matching blocks look like.
`block_condition`	Block condition	none	Replace mode: every real block within `radius` of the holder matching this condition is shown as `block`.
`radius`	Integer	`8`	Replace mode only. Capped at 16.
`offsets`	Array of `{x, y, z}`	none	Offset mode: positions relative to the holder, which move with them.
`rotate_with_facing`	Boolean	`false`	Offset mode: turn the offsets with the holder's facing, like `^ ^ ^` in commands (x left, y up, z forward).
`show_to_holder`	Boolean	`true`	Whether the holder sees them.
`viewer_condition`	Bi-entity condition	none	Other players who also see them: actor the viewing player, target the holder. Left out: nobody else.
`interval`	Integer	`10`	Ticks between recomputes.

viewer_condition adds other viewers besides the holder.
Cost: replace mode checks every block in the cube each recompute. Radius 8 is about 4,900 blocks and radius 16 about 35,900. Raise interval for a big radius.
When the power's condition is false, the blocks go back to normal within a couple of seconds.

Example: "Ore sight". While the power is active, stone within 8 blocks looks like glass.
