Oooo, that's right, I forgot about the Magma block. Thank you! And yes. Well, this particular one is my own added block. Reflection, I'll admit, have been a bit intimidating for me to consider at this point. I know I have to look at it eventually, but not quite sure I'm there yet. I wasn't familiar with anything that behaved specifically the way I wanted in Vanilla, as you have to enter Cactus's bounding box before it'll damage you. Magma, on the other hand, handles that nicely. However, I'm not immediately familiar with anything that doesn't let you place a block on top of it either.

I've been quickly picking up coding skill over the last few weeks of intense modding and learning, but there's a lot of simple things that I simply haven't had occasion to stumble on yet. For instance: 1 - Say I wanted a block to cause an effect if something walked on top of it, where would I start with this? 2 - How can one disable the ability to place a block on top of another particular block?

Thank you @Choonster

Gentlement, for those of us learning, why is the former preferred over the latter?

So are you saying not to implement ITileEntityProvider at all? Or to do so but use createTileEntity to make it?

Ah, as it turns out there is a non-deprecated version of hasTileEntity, but I still don't see a getTileEntity.

Also, I'm fairly new to this, can you provide an example of how I would use this?

hasTileEntity is shown as deprecated, and getTileEntity doesn't appear to be in the Block Class, could there be something else you're referring to?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm new to coding and modding in particular, but I'm fairly confident I have (most, obviously, certainly not all) of this code correct. It appears that the TileEntity isn't working at all, either that or I somehow failed to connect the two properly. https://github.com/LunariusH/VirginModdingEnvironment/blob/master/src/main/java/org/maghtuireadh/virginmod/proxy/CommonProxy.java https://github.com/LunariusH/VirginModdingEnvironment/blob/master/src/main/java/org/maghtuireadh/virginmod/objects/blocks/furnaces/BlockFirepit.java https://github.com/LunariusH/VirginModdingEnvironment/blob/master/src/main/java/org/maghtuireadh/virginmod/tileentity/TileEntityFirePit.java I'm still going over it trying to figure out what's keeping the Firepit from working, anyone else got any ideas where I went wrong?
