I'm currently in the process of making a custom map and I want to add blocks that can only be placed on a certain colour clay.

This is the command I tried using.

/give @p cobblestone 1 0 {CanPlaceOn:["hardened_stained_clay"],Damage:3}

However, even with this command the cobblestone can be placed on any colour of stained clay. What command can I use for placing only on a certain block?

  • Texenox is right that you're currently putting the damage value onto the cobblestone. I don't think there is a way to only allow placing a block on blocks with a certain damage value. Unfortunately you may just need to change your map's block palette to account for this.

Unfortunately, the CanPlaceOn tag does not support Damage values as of yet. The syntax of that tag will only accept an array of strings that correspond to block names, therefore you cannot make the item be placed only on a specific colour, only hardened clay in general.

Also, you are currently trying to set a Damage value to the block to be placed rather than the block it should be placed on.
