There are two functions to get the block id of a block: 

1. agent.inspect(kind: AgentInspection, direction: SixDirection): number;

kind: AgentInspection.BLOCK or AgentInspection.Data

however, at present this function can only get the type of a block. for example, when inspecting a mossy stone block, it return stone, not mossy stone. 

 

and  inspect(AgentInspection.DATA,direction) always return -1 in my environment(win10)

 

2. blocks.test_for_block(block,pos):

Test to see if a block at the chosen position is a certain type. we need to traverse all the possibilities before getting the exact id of the block.

 

one solution, the function below can inspect the block under the player, using above two functions inspect and test_for_block: 

'''

def inspect_block_at_foot(self):

        agent.teleport_to_player()

        what = agent.inspect(AgentInspection.BLOCK, DOWN)

        for i in range(1, 16):

            detail = 65536 * i + what

            if blocks.test_for_block(detail, pos(0, -1, 0)):

                return detail

        return what

'''

  more common one:

  def inspect_block_at_pos(position):

          agent.teleport(position.add(pos(0, 1, 0)), WEST)

          what = agent.inspect(AgentInspection.BLOCK, DOWN)

          for i in range(1, 16):

              detail = 65536 * i + what

              if blocks.test_for_block(detail, pos(0, -1, 0)):

                  return detail

          return what
