Hey there, so I have a block which is purely transparent... which makes it a bit annoying in inventories.

Is there a way to make it so that it has a separate texture when you have it in your inventory?

December 11, 2014

@knokko my own blocks (just using the "vanilla" textures - so the block blends in on texture packs)

@draco18s

So I put that in the block's class? Thank you

Hey there, just wondering what I'd need to do to make it so I can walk through blocks.

Only example I can think of is etheral glass from extra utilities. I don't want there to be any special properties like mobs cannot walk through, as I have other blocks to keep them away. I just need something for secret bases sort of things

Thanks for your help

Alright, but how would I get it to drop the item and not the ore. Because the .itemID thing throws an error

December 7, 2014

So it'd be

WorldGenMineable(Main.endOre, 40, Blocks.EndStone)... or whatever end stone is registered as? Or am I not understanding properly?

Hey there, so I haven't messed with ore gen since MC 1.5-1.6, and I never really spawned ore anywhere other than the overworld.

So I am wondering how I would get the ore to spawn in the end, this is the code I have so far:

Main class

GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(new endOreGen(), -1);

Ore Gen class

package com.jordsta.stuff;

import java.util.Random;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

import net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider;

import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenMinable;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;

public class endOreGen implements IWorldGenerator {

@Override

public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {

switch(world.provider.dimensionId){

case 1:

generateNether(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);

case 0:

generateSurface(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);

case -1:

generateEnd(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);

}

private void generateEnd(World world, Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ) {

for(int i = 0; i < 60; i++){

int xCoord = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);

int yCoord = random.nextInt(60);

int zCoord = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);

(new WorldGenMinable(Main.endOre, 40)).generate(world, random, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);}

}

private void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ) {

for(int i = 0; i < 60; i++){

int xCoord = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);

int yCoord = random.nextInt(60);

int zCoord = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);

}

private int generateNether(World world, Random random, int chunkX,

int chunkZ) {

return 0;

}

The spawn rate of 40 is just so I know I will see it, but I tried generating it in the overworld, and it was there. But it didn't show in the end

Am I missing something, or did ore gen code change?

Also, what is the new way to make an ore drop a different item as I used to use something like: (for an old ore called Lovite Ore)

public int idDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3)

{

return Everything_and_More_Mod.Lovite.itemID;

}

public int quantityDropped(Random random)

{

return 8;

}

public void onblockDestroyedByPlayer(World world, int x, int y, int z, int meta){

this.dropXpOnBlockBreak(world, x, y, z, 10);

}

Also, would it be possible to make it so the ore would drop a "random" amount, so for example 1-4 of the item?

Thanks for your help

Hey there, I have an idea for a mod I want to do, it's nothing "fancy" but at the same time, to someone who hasn't gone past making a block and item, it is pretty much a holy grail for me.

If you just want to point me in the direction of some source code, that's cool and all, but I wouldn't know where to look unless it is a mod I am familiar with... But anyway what I want to do is have a 3x3x3 structure with a custom block making the outer frame, redstone blocks through the middle 3 blocks, and the custom tile entity in the 4 remaining slots around the edge... well, this is one of 4 possibilities (minimum 1 tile entity, and 3 machine parts, up to 4 tile entities and no machine parts... if that makes sense).

But anyway, what do I want these to do?

Well the tile entity on its own will work just as a furnace, but a twice as efficient (1 coal lasts 16 uses, for example). *this isn't needed

However the multiblock will increase efficiency and output for ores, depending on how many "furnaces" are added.

For example:

1 "furnace" will result in one iron ingot when you put in 1 iron ore.

But if you have 2 "furnaces" in the multiblock, then you get 2 iron ore, etc.

So if anyone knows of any good source code to look at for this, or would be able to help me with this, then please do tell

Thanks a lot

Hey there, I was wondering if there was an add-on out there that anyone knows of that add "unreliability" to Thermal Expansion machines.

I am creating a mod pack, and although I want to gate TE a little bit, I don't want to make it so late game that it isn't worth making it.

So the only way (in my mind) to make it viable for earlier is to have it so machines break down every now and again, so that the player can't just leave pulverizers/furnaces/etc. running while they go out and do whatever, because the machine will just stop processing after a while and would have to be fixed either by break/replace or hitting it with a hammer or something.

And the only way to prevent breakages would be I dunno, an augment, or you have to use at least hardened machine frame or better... or something.

Anyone know of anything like this?

Network system?

And by item IDs I mean when I set an item as (let's say) ID 2336, what do I do with that?

Hey guys, so I have finally decided it is time to try and update my mod to mc 1.7.10

2 questions:

1) How do I go about the changes to Ids?

2) Is it hard to update? (with my limited java knowledge)

I've tried removing all the client side mods, and tinkered around with a few I thought may be client side only (Tinkers Tooltips) but no matter what I try, this always happens
