How to Add Blocks
Each block rule uses this format:
"block_id|max_per_chunk|send_report"
Example:
"minecraft:hopper|32|true"
This means:
minecraft:hopper — block ID
32 — maximum amount of this block allowed in one chunk
true — send a report to admins when the limit is exceeded
To add a modded block, use its registry ID:
"create:andesite_casing|16|true"
