You NEED a new for loop everytime. You also NEED the switch statement. Just in case I read that wrong, sorry.

because then I have them there when I need them

If a new minecraft version comes out, you should GENERALLY move to it. But if it wrecks your code too much, then stay on the previous version.

Here is how I do generation: https://github.com/ModderPenguin/JC-s-Dragons-Mod---add-ons/blob/master/source/motoolsnstuff/worldgen/WorldGeneratorDragonBros.java And I realised that you had the right implementation, but I got it confused with another one

^^ My words (not quite) exactly

have you tried following a tutorial? This way seems weird for me...

Have you tried this mehtod? public void onNeighborBlockChange(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, int par5) {}

Give me a few minutes... Ill have an example for you...

Your Welcome

yes it did. I would suggest looking into the actual ItemBow class and then copying it all to your bow class, and then trying to figure out how it does the textures. Best way to learn is to be pointed in the right direction

No. YourConfigVariable.getBlock()* is for any ole' block. YourConfigVariable.getTerrainBlock()* makes sure that the block ID isunder 255. So any time you want to make a block that will be a biome block, use .getTerrainBlock(). any other block use .getBlock. Notes: * You do know that YourConfigVariable is the variable you assign to Configuration? I'm sure you do, but I am just checking

Say what? will not work register as a normal bow? And also, what I got from this was that you WANTED to have the player appear to shoot himself?

Making a Energy Framework... Hmm. I figured out what my next project is going to be! Don't be too expectant on me though, you should try to build one yourself. After all, knowledge is gained through asking questions, and experience is gained through using knowledge, but also, experience is gained by doing, and knowledge is gained from experience. Point of that is, there are many ways to learn. You just have to use them. Have fun exploring and creating!

Use config files. It creates a ton more compatibility with other mods. It allows the user to change the ID's that are used for items and such. Basically I highly recommend using config files. And even though the code may SAY that it is under 255, doesn't mean it is. Its kinda weird

Do you use a config file? With that you can make sure that block ID's are under 255. using YourConfigVariable.getTerrainBlock(Parameters...)

Simple. The ID for your block is not below 255.

Here is the link https://github.com/tuyapin/InvertedWorld That link is not there anymore

I can't quite figure it out... I will try again a bit later. but any pointers in the right direction would be helpful.

So I would need to make a packet that first, got the data needed, then second, sent the data to the client, and thirdly, take the received data to a String variable inside the item class, and lastly, do what I was doing before?

When I read the string via my connection handler class inside the playerLoggedIn() method (connection handler class extends IConnectionHandler), it reads the string as it should be. But when I try to read the string from any of my items, addInformation() methods, the string returns as either null, or "". So either A) how do I fix this, or, B) what am I doing wrong?

Ahh. Thank you good sir. Jolly good show wot?

Do you want the block to drop the spawner item or the item to turn into the spawner item or the spawner item just be added into your inventory? This question is quite diverse

So, what are good uses for core mods?

I FIXED IT!!!! ;D ;D But now I have the problem of some other things not saving... Like the level of the player. The players level gets set DOWN one level on world reloaded. What am I doing wrong? same code as before except I changed compound.setCompoundTag(IDENTIFIER, player.getEntityData()); to: compound.setCompoundTag(IDENTIFIER, nbt); Nothing has changed except that. So what am I doing wrong to have it stuff up the players level?

So how would I fix this? I know you say to understand, but I only understand by someone explaining it to me. Then I can understand. Sorry for being annoying if I seem that way. I am just a bit thick at times
