Did you add .setBlockName("testBlock") to the public final static Block testBlock = new TestBlock().
Here is a snipit from ttp://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Basic_Blocks a good tutorial on minecraft forge's wiki by Havvy.
Maybe override isn't the best word to use. Extend the BlockStone class so that I can add metadata to the block so that there are multiple variations used with that ID.
I've done some searching and not finding an answer I decided to ask.
I want to use the metadata for an existing block in minecraft. I have everything setup except for sharing the block ID with the existing block. Is there anyway to do that?
