I'm checking the name of the property to know what will be the next state of the block.

I will give the full definition of this : protected static EnumProperty<Corners> SWITCH_POSITION ; static { SWITCH_POSITION = EnumProperty.create("switch_position",Corners.class,(corner)-> { return (corner == Corners.STRAIGHT || corner == Corners.TURN); }); } here is the definition of my EnumProperty It use the class enum called Corners as used in the BlockStateProperty And here is the Corners class : public enum Corners implements IStringSerializable { TURN(0,"turn"), STRAIGHT(1,"straight"), TURN_LEFT(2,"turn_left"), TURN_RIGHT(3,"turn_right"); private final int meta ; private final String name; private Corners(int meta, String name) { this.meta=meta; this.name=name; } @Override public String getName() { return this.name; } }

I'm new in this forum and of what I know item is something that exist in only one material like cobblestone or iron_bar. The tag is specified for blocks like planks that has variants on oak_wood, dark_oak_wood, and so on... If you look at barrel.json in the recipe directory you will see that tag is specified for planks and wooden_slab this mean that you can use any wooden_slab or any plnks to craft it hope you've understand..

Thanks for advice I've corrected my code and here is the new method updatePoweredState : public void updatePoweredState(World world, BlockState state, BlockPos pos, int flags) { if (world.isRemote){ boolean isPowered = state.get(SWITCH_POSITION).getName().equals("turn"); System.out.println(isPowered); if (isPowered){ world.setBlockState(pos,state.with(SWITCH_POSITION,Corners.TURN)); }else { world.setBlockState(pos,state.with(SWITCH_POSITION,Corners.STRAIGHT)); } System.out.println(state.get(SWITCH_POSITION)); } } I'm using a proper EnumProperty for my block based on enum called Corners which contains these two attributes. But it's unfortunately not working because every time I use my item to change the blockstate from Corners.STRAIGHT to Corners.TURN something is changing to Corners.STRAIGHT again one tick after and I don't know where I can block this action. Another strange action is when some block are nearby this actually change the RailShape properties.

Hello everyone, For a 1.14 mod, I try to create an item that change the state of a block. To do that I'm using setBlockState method of World object. The code for doing this use a variable that confirmed that the rest of the code is working well. As I search into setBlockState method I find these lines : /** * Sets a block state into this world.Flags are as follows: * 1 will cause a block update. * 2 will send the change to clients. * 4 will prevent the block from being re-rendered. * 8 will force any re-renders to run on the main thread instead * 16 will prevent neighbor reactions (e.g. fences connecting, observers pulsing). * 32 will prevent neighbor reactions from spawning drops. * 64 will signify the block is being moved. * Flags can be OR-ed */ I think this may change the behaviour but I try for the flag that match the best what I wanted and I trye for 7 and 11 but none of them changes the behaviour. Here is the method where I use the method setBlockState : private void updatePoweredState(World world, BlockState state,BlockPos pos,BlockState oldState) { isPowered = !isPowered; if (isPowered){ System.out.println("etat du block : turn"); world.setBlockState(pos,state.with(SWITCH_POSITION,Corners.TURN),flags); }else { System.out.println("etat du block : straight"); world.setBlockState(pos,state.with(SWITCH_POSITION,Corners.STRAIGHT),flags); } } flags has the value 7 or 11. what the code is doing is changing the state switchposition and then almost instantly changing the state to the previous one.
