How to detect proximity to a block type ?

[Frizou]

as an example : detect if the player is 1 block away or less than any oak log in the game

You could get all locations that are 1 block away from the player using the set var -> locations -> and then shift loc, after aligning it first and then get a corresponding variable with world actions to set the block material and set a var with that loc var you’ve just made, and then check if that block equals oak log with if var. or you could get locs of all oak logs in game, and then just if player is in range {those locs} {1}.

set var -> locations -> and then shift loc

you can also use Repeat: Adjacent to check surrounding blocks

you can also use Repeat: Adjacent to check surrounding blocks

but it wont work if you want the player to be farther/closer

but it wont work if you want the player to be farther/closer
You can just keep stacking adjacent repeats with the loc that keeps track of loc of previous adjacent repeat

This method is a bit more laggy i feel like but you could get 2 corners of the players location however many blocks apart and then use Repeat: On Grid
