You would be correct. But guess what, we're talking PRE init, not init.

Finally. Took a look. No dice. I put my textures where Lex has said to and changed EVERYTHING to go in pre init. No luck. What's this "update to registerIcon function" change?

You also haven't told me: 1) where I need to put this function 2) spelled it right (deobfuscated function names are func_[number] not func[number]) 3) told me what class it is a part of 4) where to find an example

Duh. Par1iconRegister isn't defined. It shouldn't even compile. However, it is defined here: public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) { this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("traps:iron_spikes"); } PRO-TIP: changing your variable names doesn't effect jack didly squat!

Good sir, this function has not been mentioned in any thread related to this topic. How have you come to this conclusion and why has it not been mentioned heretofore?

Funny. Because I updated that tutorial for 1.5 and I can't get my existing code to work with 1.6 Make sure the names for your image's folder is lowercase in the directory and code. Worked for me Did. No dice. 2013-07-03 10:08:21 [sEVERE] [Minecraft-Client] Using missing texture, unable to load: traps:textures/blocks/iron_spikes.png File is at: mcp\src\minecraft\assets\traps\textures\blocks\iron_spikes.png Register function: public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) { this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("traps:iron_spikes"); }

Apparently this: { "pack": 1, "description": "Forge Mod Defaults" } } Not that adding it to my project made any difference what so ever.

This stems from either not installing something correctly (delete everything and reinstall) or you've seriously messed up your render/model code (which it doesn't look like). ResourceLocation rl = new ResourceLocation(es.getModelTexture()); FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().renderEngine.func_110577_a(rl); func_110577_a is the one you're looking for.

Which tutorial?

Replace all three with @EventHandler. Leave everything else alone.

Doesn't fix the problem for me.

Its also possible that I need to get a newer version of Forge, as I've got...756 right now (from early yesterday trying to puzzle this stuff out).

Step 1: get a reference to the player (object type EntityPlayer) Step 2: get a reference to the player's NBT data: player.getEntityData() Step 3: write an integer to it: nbt.setInteger("MiningLevel",lv); Step 4: anywhere you need to reference the mining level, read it from the NBT: nbt.getInteger("MiningLevel"); Step 5: if it changes, go to step 3.

Sorry bub, I think its a coincidence. I've got all my code in preInit right now and no dice. Code for one block: @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { //System.out.println("Loadnig Redstone Mod"); Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile()); config.load(); //load configs fakeID = config.getBlock("FakeBlock", 2000).getInt(); config.save(); fakeBlock = new FakeBlock(fakeID); System.out.println("Registering Fake Block"); GameRegistry.registerBlock(fakeBlock, "Illusionary Block"); LanguageRegistry.addName(fakeBlock, "Illusionary Block"); GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(fakeBlock), painting, stone); int r = RenderingRegistry.getNextAvailableRenderId(); ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler handler = new RenderFakeBlock(r); RenderingRegistry.registerBlockHandler(handler); ((FakeBlock)fakeBlock).renderType = r; System.out.println(" - " + fakeBlock.getUnlocalizedName()); LanguageRegistry.instance().addStringLocalization("tile.Illusionary Block.name", "Illusionary Block");

Don't know.

Try... protected BlockDeconstructionTable(int par1) { super(par1, Material.wood); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDecorations); this.setUnlocalizedName("Deconstruction Table"); }

GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockLoader.blockWriter, 1, 0), "xyx", "y y", "xyx", 'x', dirtStack, 'y', gravelStack); GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockLoader.blockWriter, 1, 3), "yxy", "y y", "xyx", 'x', dirtStack, 'y', gravelStack); GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockLoader.blockWriter, 1, 7), "yyy", "y y", "xyx", 'x', dirtStack, 'y', gravelStack); GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockLoader.blockWriter, 1, 11), "xxx", "y y", "xyx", 'x', dirtStack, 'y', gravelStack); So the first one is for metadata's 0, 1, 2...wait, that's only three! In your onBlockPlacedBy function, you might want to debug-log the initial metadata number and the resulting one to see what's going on.

And how does one do that? Forge calls registerIcons, not [my main mod file].

Same error, different error?

And where does this folder go? /tiles? don't you mean /blocks?

You have an issue here: this.icon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("Nature:flower_" + i); Isn't "this.icon" an array?

SSP is SMP now, that's the only difference. Forge doesn't really help anything much, it's more support from Vanilla that does stuff.

Reflections. It won't insert a given line at a given line, but reflections is the best you're going to be able to get in that regard. Unless you do a coremod and do base class edits. You're better off going "can I get this specific effect by writing my own classes"?

And now, BlockDeconstructionTable...
