Change your recipe so that it uses an ItemStack of your crafting tool with a damage value of -1.

Simple Block Rendering Handler or whatever it's called? Pretty sure you can use those, but I don't know how.

Did you remember to change the reference to your proxy in your @Mod class from Obsidian.common.clientProxyObsidian to Obsidian.client.clientProxyObsidian (or whatever your client proxy's location is)?

Why is your "clientProxyObsidian" inside Common? Shouldn't it be in Client?

Sorry about this, but I'm deciding to pause development for a little while, simply because I have a lot of school work happening at the moment and I need to focus on it as much as I can. I'm hoping to resume development mid to late November. If you guys want me to release what I've currently got done, just ask. Everything I wanted to have done for the public beta except spellcasting (ironic, seeing as it's all this mod started out as) is usable, so I might let you guys have a peak.

That's all well and good, but uh... what exactly is Techcraft? Some screenshots would be nice.

If you check other GUIs, you'll notice that drawGuiContainerForgroundLayer() now has two paramaters, two integers to be precise.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. This is so weird.

That's an error on your end. You've forgotten to change the reference to your proxy in your @Mod file from the tutorial to your own.

Well, softClay and hardClay are both variants of the same Item Type, ItemMould. That wouldn't affect naming though, would it?

I know, they are supposed to, as the variant with a metadata of 0 has a different name.

I have a few sets of items in my mod which use metadata, and I'm having troubles with naming them. I have 4 sets of metadata items: softClay, hardClay, magicOrb, and rune. They're being named like this String[] mouldNames = new String[] {"chunk", "Cog", "Key", "Lock", "Keyring", "Ring", "Amulet", "Necklace", "Crossbow Limbs", "Orb"}; for(int i = 1; i < mouldNames.length; i++) { LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(softClay, 1, i), "Clay Chunk with " + mouldNames[i] + " Imprint"); LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(hardClay, 1, i), mouldNames[i] + " Mould"); } LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(softClay, 1, 0), "Clay Chunk"); LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(hardClay, 1, 0), "Hardened Clay Chunk"); String[] runeNames = {"Blank", "Energy", "Rock", "Frost", "Fire", "Life", "Death", "Temporal", "Eternal", "Balance", "Corruption", "Poison", "Wither", "Fear", "Elemental", "Catalytic"}; for(int i = 0; i < runeNames.length; i++) { LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rune, 1, i), runeNames[i] + " Runestone"); } for(int i = 1; i < runeNames.length; i++) { LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(magicOrb, 1, i), runeNames[i] + " Orb"); } LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(magicOrb, 1, 0), "Magic Orb"); As you can see with the above code, a rune item with metadata of 4 should be named "Fire Runestone", but is instead being named "Fire Orb", and the same goes for the rest. a softClay item with metadata of 1 should be named "Clay Chunk with Cog Imprint", but is being named "Cog Mould", and when I try to name only one item from this whole set, say a magicOrb with metadata of 0, Every one of those items with metadata of 0 will get the name "Magic Orb". This has been happening for weeks and I thought it might have been a bug that would get fixed by now, but it's still happening. Any help would be great.

Strongholds are only supposed to spawn 3 times per world. Have you look at the code for that?

You shouldn't need any custom packets for that. That's already handled for you.

Depending on what your tile entity does, you may or may not need to use custom Packets.

The sound event only exists on the client. THIS MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new SoundEvent());, Should be in your client proxy.

Fixed it, turns out I had misspelled createTileEntity() and it wasn't being called. I feel really stupid now.

Well. Turns out the Tile Entity is infact null. This is interesting.

If you're in need of a good Java Tutorial, I recommend this. I used it to get started.

Alrighty. Prepare for some messy code.

Sorry for the bump, but I just cannot figure out what's going on here. I figure that when a thread just gets ignored like this, it's one of 2 things: A: You're absolutely stumped B: I'm missing something painfully obvious I highly doubt it's A, so could someone please tell me what I've done wrong?

Make sure one of your achievements has a parent achievement on the same page, and that the parent achievement is registered BEFORE the child. That's how I fixed it.

Well nobody's going to just give you that code. That's a bit more advanced and you're going to have to work out how to do that yourself.

I would also like to know how this is done.

Yeah, I can't wait for Arcanacraft either. I loved TC2. Sorry I'm taking such a long time on getting an early version out, I've been so busy with school and stuff. I've decided that I'm going to release an early version whether I've got spell-casting done or not by early November, so keep an eye out!
