I thought of that, but it would be really convoluted to call it 12 times and replace the redstone for each of the redstone dusts used; i was wondering if there's a more elegant way, before using that method?

I've written an item that requires an amount of redstone to be in the player's inventory, but I can't work out how to make it require and consume x redstone. What I want is: [*]Player uses item [*]Item checks if Player has 12 redstone or more in their inventory [*]If they do, remove 12 redstone form their inventory This is the code I'm using at the moment as a placeholder: if (entityplayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode || entityplayer.inventory.hasItem(Item.redstone.itemID)) { entityplayer.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(Item.redstone.itemID); }

So do I instantiate the above class, or is it instantiated somewhere else in the game code?

Thanks now to take a well-earned sleep, I've been hammering away at this mod for about 7 hours solid...

Ah ok, that makes things a bit simpler! Could you provide a little snippet of example code for the rendering?

I'm writing a mod in which the player can pick up blocks (turning them into EntityFallingSand) and fling them about. I've run into the problem that for some reason I can't seem to override the fact that EntityFallingSand always falls downward, regardless of what I write into my custom class to counteract it. Here is the item that I'm using to pick up blocks: package arcanepower.items; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

} @Override @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public void registerIcons(IconRegister icon) { itemIcon = icon.registerIcon(ModInfo.ID.toLowerCase() + ":" + Names.earthWand_unlocalizedName); } public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack itemstack, EntityPlayer entityplayer, World world, int x, int y, int z, int par7, float par8, float par9, float par10) { if (!world.isRemote) { if (targetBlock == -1) { if (world.getBlockMaterial(x, y, z) == Material.ground || world.getBlockMaterial(x, y, z) == Material.sand || world.getBlockMaterial(x, y, z) == Material.rock || world.getBlockMaterial(x, y, z) == Material.grass) { if (world.getBlockMaterial(x, y, z) == Material.grass) { targetBlock = Block.dirt.blockID; } ix = x; iy = y; iz = z; world.destroyBlock(x, y, z, false); bolt = new EarthBolt(world); bolt.blockID = targetBlock; bolt.metadata = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z); bolt.setTar(x + 0.5, y + 4, z + 0.5); bolt.setPosition(x + 0.5, y + 1, z + 0.5); world.spawnEntityInWorld(bolt); } else { System.out.println("Bad block type!"); } } else { float f = 1.0F; float f1 = entityplayer.prevRotationPitch + (entityplayer.rotationPitch - entityplayer.prevRotationPitch) * f;

} } Here is my custom Entity: package arcanepower.entities; import java.util.Random; import net.minecraft.entity.item.EntityFallingSand; import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer; import net.minecraft.world.World; public class EarthBolt extends EntityFallingSand { private EntityPlayer thrower; private float deltaPitch; private float deltaYaw; private double tarX; private double tarY; private double tarZ; private double deltaX;

this.shouldDropItem = true; } @Override public void onUpdate() { Random rand = new Random(); worldObj.spawnParticle("smoke", this.posX - 0.5 + rand.nextDouble(), this.posY - 0.5 + rand.nextDouble(), this.posZ - 0.5 + rand.nextDouble(), 0, 0, 0); this.rotationPitch += deltaPitch; this.rotationYaw += deltaYaw; deltaX = (this.posX - tarX) * speedMul; deltaY = (this.posY - tarY) * speedMul; deltaZ = (this.posZ - tarZ) * speedMul; this.posX += deltaX; this.posY += deltaY; this.posZ += deltaZ; } public void setTar(double x, double y, double z) { tarX = x; tarY = y; tarZ = z; } } Many thanks in advance, I'm totally stumped at this.
