Examples

"block_action": {
	"type": "apoli:spawn_entity",
	"entity_type": "minecraft:vex",
	"entity_action": {
		"type": "apoli:grant_power",
		"power": "apoli:arcane_skin",
		"source": "*:*"
	}
}

This summons a vex at the block's position and grants it the apoli:arcane_skin power, with the ID of the power the action is written in as the source.

"block_action": {
	"type": "apoli:spawn_entity",
	"entity_type": "minecraft:lightning_bolt",
	"offset": { "y": 1 }
}

This strikes lightning on top of the block instead of inside it.
