- 2 blocks: frustum_block + tip_block
- 3 blocks: base_block + frustum_block + tip_block
- 4+ blocks: base_block + one or more middle_block + frustum_block + tip_block
The restrictions include: may_place_on which restricts valid placement surfaces and may_replace to restrict which existing blocks may be replaced (omit to allow any).
