As an addition: Wuppy29 has some basic tutorials set up for 1.8 conversion from 1.7.

Got it working mostly. The solution: ChunkPrimer. The chunk primer is a container that can generate a chunk and ignore all the events and updates that need to be fired. Alternately: my perlin noise generator is slower than the previous one I worked with, just a secondary issue on top of it.

Where does this flag get set? I can't seem to find an option for a flag inside the chunk.setBlockState() method EDIT: If it matters this is working with forge for 1.8

I'm attempting to work with world generation, currently I am simply doing nothing but generating a layer of bedrock at y=1 and a layer of dirt at y=63. Looking below, it takes almost a full minute to generate the spawn area - I must be doing something wrong for that to be the case when it's just 32 blocks per chunk, where as it only takes 10 seconds for the default world generator to do it.

The format is: the name minecraft has=Your name here for example: tile.testblock.name=Test Block Would rename the testblock to Test Block. Honestly no idea about building it yet - when you hit run in the eclipse workspace it loads up the assets no problem, so I'm assuming if you build the way intended it'll auto handle packaging the assets for you.

There is a "lang" folder inside of the assets on 1.7.2 "src\main\resources\assets\modid\lang\en_US.lang"

Alrighty. Looked at your post: What version of 1.7.2 are you using? This method seems to have been renamed in my Block.class. Did it return the "unlocalized name"? If you tell me what it's purpose was I can track it down. brokenObsidianBlock.func_149739_a() Thanks for the response.

What's the error message it's giving you?

Apparently to get it to show up inside the creative inventory you need an ItemBlock instance instead of just having a "Block". I have no idea what the difference is between GameData.itemRegistry and Item.itemRegistry or any other variables. I honestly have no idea if forge manages the item ids or not. This is my first day tinkering with forge and it's got an interesting learning curve if you start on 1.7.2 - things are way different than the tutorials say. testBlock = new BlockStone().setBlockName("testblock").setBlockTextureName("testmod:BlockTut"); GameData.blockRegistry.add(500, "testblock", testBlock); ItemBlock itemBlock = (ItemBlock) new ItemBlock(testBlock).setUnlocalizedName("testBlock").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock).setTextureName("testmod:BlockTut"); GameData.itemRegistry.add(502, "testblockitem", itemBlock);

@EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { testBlock = new BlockStone().setBlockName("testblock").setBlockTextureName("testmod:BlockTut"); Block.blockRegistry.addObject(500, "testblock", testBlock); Item testitem = new TestItem(); Item.itemRegistry.addObject(501, "testitem", testitem); } In 1.7 there is no setUnlocalizedName method (at least that I saw...) There is a setBlockName which I'm assuming is the same thing as the previous method. The id (as far as I can tell should be registering at 500.

I'm working in 1.7.2 forge right now. I am currently running 1027 and can not seem to get a block to appear in the game. I've followed several different tutorials and have not been able to get any of them to work. The ones for 1.6.4 were a little off but usually had some follow up text to change to 1.7.2. Currently I have it in CreativeTabs.tabFood because the list is shorter, but I have not been able to get it to appear in any tab. There is not a single error in the start up output (except something about an rt.jar or something) and there is no problems until I try to find it in the creative inventory or use /give player 500 1, which in theory should give me my block. I get a red message saying "No item with id 500" or something similar. I have managed to get an item to appear in the food tab without a single problem using almost identical code. This code is in the preinitialization event: Block testblock = new TestBlock(); Block.blockRegistry.addObject(500, "testblock", testblock); This class extends net.minecraft.block.Block: public TestBlock() { super(Material.ground); setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabFood); setBlockTextureName("testmod:BlockTut"); }
