Spawn a dropped item
Drop an item on the ground and keep it as an entity you can move, tag or remove.
m.entity.spawn_dropped_item
In a flow
“When a player breaks a block → Spawn a dropped item: a diamond at Block location.”
When a player breaks a block → Spawn a dropped item: a diamond at Block location.
What it does
Drop an item on the ground and keep it as an entity you can move, tag or remove. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Entities & mobs in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to: drop an item on the ground and keep it as an entity you can move, tag or remove.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
