Sorry for the late reply but if I use this event the text on a block is still drawn in italic how would i change this

Fixed it if anyone is interrested: Apperantly draco was right but I needed to use damage dropped together with item dropped: public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_) { return BlocksItems.Mineral; } public int damageDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){ return 0; }

Thanks for you quick reply I tried public ItemStack getDamageDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){ return new ItemStack(BlocksItems.Mineral, 1, 1); } also damageDropped. none of them worked.

Hi. I've been trying to get my block to drop metadata items but I can't seem to get it to work here are my attempts public ArrayList<ItemStack> idDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){ ArrayList<ItemStack> ret = new ArrayList<ItemStack>(); int metaDropped = 0; switch (nextRandom(1)) { case 0: metaDropped = 0; break; case 1: metaDropped = 1; break; } ret.add(new ItemStack(BlocksItems.Mineral, 1, metaDropped)); return ret; } public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_) { return Items.redstone;//? } thanks for your help

Dunno how it could not sometimes I find metadata annoying to use well thanks for your help!

Ah okay thanks. 1 more question is metadata still viable? since minecraft doesn't have ids anymore. It could still be usefull for registering 5 items that are nearly the same like logs.

Yeah, well it works. Do you know any other methods I should use(I'm just fiddeling around here with java)? should I use the NBTTagList?

Ah well for anyone interrested heres my sourcecode: playerclass: package molecularscience.api; import net.minecraft.entity.Entity; import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer; import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.common.IExtendedEntityProperties; public class ExtendedPlayer implements IExtendedEntityProperties { public final static String EXT_PROP_NAME = "ExtendedPlayer"; private final EntityPlayer player; private static String researches; public ExtendedPlayer(EntityPlayer player){ this.player = player; } public static final void register(EntityPlayer player){ player.registerExtendedProperties(ExtendedPlayer.EXT_PROP_NAME, new ExtendedPlayer(player)); } public static final ExtendedPlayer get(EntityPlayer player){ return (ExtendedPlayer) player.getExtendedProperties(EXT_PROP_NAME); } @Override public void saveNBTData(NBTTagCompound compound){ NBTTagCompound properties = new NBTTagCompound(); properties.setString("researched", this.researches); compound.setTag(EXT_PROP_NAME, properties); } @Override public void loadNBTData(NBTTagCompound compound){ NBTTagCompound properties = (NBTTagCompound) compound.getTag(EXT_PROP_NAME); this.researches = properties.getString("researched"); } @Override public void init(Entity entity, World world){} public static void Research(String item) { item = item + ","; researches = researches + item; } public static boolean IsResearched(String item){ if(researches != null){ String[] researched = researches.split(","); for(String p: researched){ if(p.equals(item)){ return true; } } } return false; } } itemclass package molecularscience.moditems; import java.util.List; import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils; import molecularscience.Config; import molecularscience.MolecularScience; import molecularscience.api.ExtendedPlayer; import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.world.World; public class ItemSample extends Item { public ItemSample() { super(); this.setHasSubtypes(true); this.setCreativeTab(MolecularScience.Molecules); } public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4) { String Itemname = par1ItemStack.getDisplayName(); Itemname = StringUtils.removeEnd(Itemname, " Sample"); Object Itemmolecule = null; String moleculesinitem = null; if(Config.Blockmolecules.get(Itemname) != null){ Itemmolecule = Config.Blockmolecules.get(Itemname); moleculesinitem = Itemmolecule.toString(); } if(ExtendedPlayer.IsResearched(Itemname)){ if(Config.Blockmolecules.get(Itemname) != null){ par3List.add( "This Sample consists of: " + Itemmolecule ); if(moleculesinitem.contains(",")){ String[] splitmolecule = moleculesinitem.split(","); for( int i = 0; i <= splitmolecule.length - 1; i++){ par3List.add(Config.Moleculesatoms.get(splitmolecule[i])); } }else{ par3List.add(Config.Moleculesatoms.get(Itemmolecule)); } } }else{ par3List.add("You have not yet researched this sample"); } } }

I think you mean you want the item to look 3d in the inventory like a block. Well what you need to do if you already have the 3d rendering code. Just change it from item to a block that is being 3d rendered.

GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(this, 0); chage to GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(this, 1); Worked for me atleast.

Thank you

After a bit of fiddling around with nbt I noticed that you can't store a string array? are there any equivalent methods for this? setbytearray? Or should i set everything in a large string? like: "grass,dirt,air" I think that would be kinda slow because I'll have to iterate through the string if I want to check for a block. Because if I wouldn't split the string it could return true if it'll look for grass and I only have Grass Block for example

Would this be a good example? http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=6999.0

Yeah I have seen something like storing the data per player using that

Have you taken a look at the minecraft arrow source?

Hello and thanks for reading. I'm trying to store nbtdata to see if a player has researched a item. I'm now storing the nbtdata to an itemstack but that means everytime I get a new itemstack the player would have to research it again. How would I set researched to "true" for every type of that item? Thanks for your help!

Sorry for asking, but how would I use this method?

Hello forge. Well just as the title says how can I add information to existing vanilla items? Like you do with this method: public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4) { Thanks!

ah okay thanks!

Wow thanks i finally got it working now!

Hi thanks for the reply but i can't seem to find the anvil src, atleast not the anvil tile entity do you perhaps know where i can find it?

Still can't seem to set localized names

Just as the title explains How can I add a metadata item to my inventory using it's unlocalized name? using par2EntityPlayer.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(new ItemStack(sample,1)); thanks

Well I was trying that but that would just change the item name to Arrow and not Arrow sample as that is what I'm trying to accomplish EDIT: I tried something different: the item file package ModItems; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import molecularscience.MolecularScience; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.util.MathHelper; import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side; import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; public class ItemSample extends Item { public ItemSample() { super(); this.setHasSubtypes(true); setMaxDamage(0); this.setCreativeTab(MolecularScience.Molecules); } public static final String[] names = MolecularScience.Namen.toArray(new String[MolecularScience.Namen.size()]); @Override public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack par1ItemStack) { int i = MathHelper.clamp_int(par1ItemStack.getItemDamage(), 0, MolecularScience.Namen.size()); return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + names[i]; } @SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes" }) @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public void getSubItems(Item par1, CreativeTabs par2CreativeTabs, List par3List) { for (int x = 0; x < MolecularScience.Namen.size(); x++) { par3List.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, x)); } } } the main mod file package molecularscience; import java.io.BufferedWriter; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.OutputStreamWriter; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.init.Items; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import ModItems.ItemSample; import ModItems.ItemSampler; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Instance; import cpw.mods.fml.common.SidedProxy; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameData; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry; @Mod(modid = MolecularScience.MODID, version = MolecularScience.VERSION) public class MolecularScience { public static List<String> Namen = new ArrayList<String>(); //versie en id public static final String MODID = "MolecularScience"; public static final String VERSION = "1.0.0"; //items public static Item Sampler; public static Item Sample; @Instance(value = "MolecularScience") public static MolecularScience instance; @SidedProxy(clientSide="molecularscience.ClientProxy", serverSide="molecularscience.CommonProxy") public static CommonProxy proxy; //creative tab public static CreativeTabs Molecules = new CreativeTabs("Molecules"){ public Item getTabIconItem(){ return Items.arrow; } }; //register spull @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){ //items Sampler = new ModItems.ItemSampler().setUnlocalizedName("sampler").setCreativeTab(MolecularScience.Molecules); //gameregistry GameRegistry.registerItem(Sampler,"sampler"); //language registry namen van dinge word gedaan in de en_US.lang file proxy.registerRenderers(); Set<String> example = GameData.blockRegistry.getKeys(); for (String s : example) { String[] split = s.split(":"); Namen.add(split[1]); } Sample = new ItemSample().setUnlocalizedName("sample"); GameRegistry.registerItem(Sample, "Sample"); } @EventHandler public void init(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) { } }
