 Function turtle.inspect | |
| Returns the ID string and metadata of the block in front of the Turtle in a table format: { name = "modname:blockname", metadata = 0, state = {} }. The "state" sub-table is only present in Minecraft 1.8+, and contains block state info for the block being inspected. For example, a log of wood's state table contains the keys "variant" (which may be set to eg "oak"), and "axis" (which may be set to eg "y", indicating an upright orientation). | |
