Ok. Now to change my data, what do I do? I actually don't have a clue. Sorry.

Ok, but in "setItemData", it looks like I'm setting kind of the same string, just ones in the class. This is very confusing. Thanks for your help, though.

Can you possibly elaborate on that or give an example? I have my new class, extending WorldSavedData and with the data I want to keep in the NBT tag read/write methods. What now? Sorry, I'm not very advanced with modding.

I've done a lot of googling and searching but all I can find is tutorials for Tile Entities. It would work, but it's not what I want considering that there will be no way of tracking where it is. So to elaborate, a TileEntity would be good but it uses coords, not a global variable.

Actually, I would prefer if it if the date was tested when the player logs into a world. Just thought I'd add that.

I just want to check if the date (within month) is equal to a value, so then I can run some code, and only allow it to be repeated the year after. Kind of like a one day a year thing. To do that, I need it to record if the event has been run and stuff. Do I need to elaborate more?

I'll have a look at the code soon. And I've checked the TileEntity for chests. I've got the calender stuff all working, I just need a method to keep checking it with.

public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) { if (!par2World.isRemote) { EntityItem item = new EntityItem(par2World, x, y z, new ItemStack(yourmod.youritem.itemID, 1)); par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(item); } return par1ItemStack; }

I have two main things I want to get done today, but I need help with them. I have changed the question, too. Edit: Scroll down to the bottom of the page. I have a problem with my item. As I've said before, I'm new to forge. So I have no idea. Thanks

Thanks. Kinda funny when you think about it. Lol.

It's just the same error. I think it doesn't like my code returning a random. Which is stupid, considering that the random returns an int. I have no idea how to fix this.

I've redone the way it chooses the random item now, through the config file's list of ids. By default, I've put only vanilla IDs in. But you are right. I do need to post my code if I ever want this fixed.

Is there another way around using the random variable instead? I've seen in the vanilla code things like "a ? b : c" but have no idea how it works.

Yes. It can return a normal int, but any form of random will make it crash. I can't think of any other way into making this happen. Damn shame, since I was going to try and release this for Easter. Thanks for your help though.

At the moment, getRandomItemByRarity() only returns "random.nextInt(256)+1". I will actually add the ids I need later but I want to get this working first.

Same error. Thanks for your input, though.

I'm making an item that returns or just adds a random item from a list of ids to the players inventory. Everytime I use the item, the game crashes. So far, I've tried... public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) { ItemStack item = new ItemStack(this.randItem, 1, 0); return item; } and... public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, World par3World, int par4, int par5, int par6, int par7, float par8, float par9, float par10) { ItemStack item = new ItemStack(this.getRandomItemfromList(), 1, 0); par1ItemStack.stackSize--; par2EntityPlayer.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(item); return true; } Both end in a crash. Could someone please help me? Thanks.

"this.potionDuration * 20" It's in ticks. Every second in minecraft is equal to 20 ticks. That's why there's the "* 20" bit.

public String getItemDisplayName(ItemStack is) { switch (is.getItemDamage()) { case 0: return "Topaz"; case 1: return "Smoked Topaz"; case 2: return "Ruby"; case 3: return "Pad Paradsha"; //Etc Etc. I know they aren't in the right order, but oh well. You get the point. } return "Unknown Gem Item"; }

Thanks. Sorry for the confusion.

I may be new to the forums, but I am not thick. I've googled it lots of times, and searched it on the forums. I'm wanting something like this in the config file: blockToInterect: { -19 -4 -52 } something where the users can add to the list if they wish.

I'd like my config file to contain a list of block ids that my entities can interact with. I have no idea how to do it. I've played around with it but still haven't got a way. Anyone know an easy way of doing this? Thanks.
