Not sure if you were referring to me because I have listed all my source code and it's not renderModel it's just render No, there are two codes: render and renderModel, and when you make a custom block model (but not in an entity model) you should do renderModel too Oh well I dont have "renderModels" in my code but here is how I fixed it I had my addTools method before my proxy.registerRenderThings method thus It was trying to obtain here is my new source code for my @Init load method @Init public void load(FMLInitializationEvent e){ addBlocks(); addItems(); addTools(); // <- Notice how this method addArmor(); addRecipes(); addMobs(); proxy.registerRenderThings(); // <- is now BEFORE this method proxy.registerServerTickHandler(); EntityEgg(EntityAlien.class, 0xFFFFFF, 0x00DD00); GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(new worldGeneratorBlinomium()); GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(CannonTileEntity.class, "cannonTileEntity"); }

I have my itemID and the ItemRender class in there. Not sure why I'm crashing

ya I made an edit before I saw your post I figured it out. I already had a world variable declared so I just moved around my code to create the world.isRemote if statement

So I have this code on my custom sword public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLiving par2EntityLiving, EntityLiving par3EntityLiving) { Random rand = new Random(); int chance = (1 + rand.nextInt(100)); World world = par3EntityLiving.worldObj; if(chance <= { par1ItemStack.damageItem(100, par3EntityLiving); par2EntityLiving.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.wither.getId(), 100, 7)); par2EntityLiving.entityDropItem(new ItemStack(mod_MainClass.BlinShard, 1), 1.0f); }else{ par1ItemStack.damageItem(1, par3EntityLiving); } return true; } And sometimes it'll spawn an extra item that can't be picked up. I thought it would use world.isRemote but this specific method doesn't use world in it. So I am at a loss at what could be causing a ghost item to appear. EDIT: I just derped. I realised I did declare a world variable and changed my code to this public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLiving par2EntityLiving, EntityLiving par3EntityLiving) { World world = par3EntityLiving.worldObj; if (world.isRemote) { return true; }else{ Random rand = new Random(); int chance = (1 + rand.nextInt(100)); if(chance <= { par1ItemStack.damageItem(100, par3EntityLiving); par2EntityLiving.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.wither.getId(), 100, 7)); par2EntityLiving.entityDropItem(new ItemStack(mod_MainClass.BlinShard, 1), 1.0f); }else{ par1ItemStack.damageItem(1, par3EntityLiving); } return true; } }

But you found them now, using the link above? Also take a look into the code which is used inn TileEntityFurnace and BlockFurnace as I said, and then look at the other TE's and their blocks. That should help you out inn understanding how they work and how to use them Lol I do that all the time on finding out how to do a specific thing is look at existing vanilla minecraft classes. But sometimes I get to that point where I just don't know what to do to make it function. Just one real quick final question. Do I ever need to use GameRegistry.registerTileEntity when working with tile entities?

Just a little thread for people who code (java or not) to share how they keep sane while coding for long periods. I like to smoke my E-Cig and listen to MSI, especially when working on Java/Minecraft Mods. But for some reason when coding in C++ or C# I like to listen to Deathcore and System Of A Down more than my MSI

public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, World par3World, int x, int y, int z, int par7, float par8, float par9, float par10) { if (par3World.isRemote) { return true; }else{ if(par3World.getBlockId(x, y, z) == Block.stone.blockID){ par3World.setBlock(x, y, z, Block.sand.blockID); } return true; } } the first 'if' statement is so that the code is ran once. It's required if you want to have it use the item then put this under par3World.setBlock par1ItemStack.stackSize--;

[lmgtfy=forge furnace tutorial]Where did you look?[/lmgtfy] There's a lot of them Haha I've googled but I can only find tutorials for it for 1.3.2 and earlier, and not for forge either

hmm looked around and can't seem to find a tutorial for forge on creating new furnace type tile entities

MyBlock.class public class MyBlock extends Block { private Icon blockTop; private Icon blockFront; private myTileEntity tentity; public MyBlock(int ID) { super(ID, Material.iron); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock); tentity = new myTileEntity(); } public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4) { super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4); this.setDefaultDirection(par1World, par2, par3, par4); } public boolean onBlockActivated(World par1World, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player, int par6, float par7, float par8, float par9) { if (par1World.isRemote) { return true; }else{ tentity.switchActivated(); player.addChatMessage("[" + tentity.getActivated() + "]"); return true; } } } myTileEntity.class package com.biosystemstudios; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; public class myTileEntity extends TileEntity { private boolean activated = false; public myTileEntity() {} public boolean getActivated(){ return activated; } public void setActivated(boolean b){ activated = b; } public void switchActivated(){ activated = !activated; } } There's my code but what the problem is when I place down more than 1 block and right click any one the activated variable is the same from the last block. So if i right click the first block it'll set activated to true but if I go right click the other block it'll set activated back to false Tile Entities are supposed to store data unique to a specific block, how come the variable is still shared?

public boolean onBlockActivated(World par1World, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player, int par6, float par7, float par8, float par9) { tentity.switchActivated(); //tentity is my tileentity. The method will switch a boolean to false or true player.addChatMessage("[" + tentity.getActivated() + "]"); return true; } When I test this code in game and right click my block, it returns "[true] [false]" For some reason it's being ran twice. Anyone know a work around? EDIT: Figure it out. Had to put my code inside an if statement like this if (par1World.isRemote) { return true; }else{ //Code goes here }

Well actually that brings up a 2nd thing I need. I can't seem to locate the method for blocks for when they are activated by redstone. I need that. To answer you first question, I need to find out what direction my block is facing when it is powered by redstone. I just make my block extend TileEntity instead of block to make it a tile entity correct?

How would I go about this? Here is my current code (Omitted any that has nothing to with the direction of the block) private Icon field_94458_cO; private Icon field_94459_cP; public MyBlock(int ID) { super(ID, Material.iron); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock); } /** * set a blocks direction */ private void setDefaultDirection(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4) { if (!par1World.isRemote) { int l = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 - 1); int i1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3, par4 + 1); int j1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 - 1, par3, par4); int k1 = par1World.getBlockId(par2 + 1, par3, par4); byte b0 = 3; if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1]) { b0 = 3; } if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[i1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[l]) { b0 = 2; } if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1]) { b0 = 5; } if (Block.opaqueCubeLookup[k1] && !Block.opaqueCubeLookup[j1]) { b0 = 4; } par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, b0, 2); } } public void onBlockPlacedBy(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityLiving par5EntityLiving, ItemStack par6ItemStack) { int l = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(par5EntityLiving.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 0.5D) & 3; if (l == 0) { par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 2, 2); } if (l == 1) { par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 5, 2); } if (l == 2) { par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 3, 2); } if (l == 3) { par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 4, 2); } if (par6ItemStack.hasDisplayName()) { ((TileEntityFurnace)par1World.getBlockTileEntity(par2, par3, par4)).func_94129_a(par6ItemStack.getDisplayName()); } } @Override public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) { this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("et:blockSides"); this.field_94459_cP = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("et:blockFront"); this.field_94458_cO = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("et:blockTop"); } public Icon getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(int par1, int par2) { return par1 == 1 ? this.field_94458_cO : (par1 == 0 ? this.field_94458_cO : (par1 != par2 ? this.blockIcon : this.field_94459_cP)); } public void onBlockAdded(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4) { super.onBlockAdded(par1World, par2, par3, par4); this.setDefaultDirection(par1World, par2, par3, par4); }

Well see that's my problem how am I supposed to translate out Block.field_94337_cv if it no longer is obfuscated? Will I have to run you're pseudo code in the previous mcp that still had it obfuscated? EDIT: Found out it's activator rail through your code, thanks

Using the latest mcp I had this in my paxel tool's public static final Block[] blocksEffectiveAggainst variable. Block.field_94337_cv But with mcp updating it's references of methods and Block ID's, I have no clue what actual block this is. Any idea folks? My best bet is one of the 4 new blocks added: Quartz Ore, Quartz, Hopper, or Redstone Block. But I'm not sure which one it is Mcp's changelog only says "Updated to client 1.5.1 & server 1.5.1"

Alright thanks. Any forge modding series on youtube you recommend?

What I mean is how hard will it be for me to adapt to it from modding with modLoader? I've made several mods before but with modLoader, not Forge. Also how what's the difficulty of modding with it over modLoader? Easier, harder. One last thing too. How long does it roughly take for Forge to update to the latest minecraft? Pre-release 1.5 is out and 1.5 will be officially out on Wednesday. Just curious. I hate switching minecraft versions but it bugs me because my server is broke until craftBukkit is updated to 1.5 and I don't want to mod for 1.4.7 if Forge for 1.5 is released soon. Thanks in advance for any help
