OK, thanks.

It's not letting me edit the file in eclipse.

Bump

Why is that? Can I change it?

I made a block that switched blockstates on right-click that worked before, but now doesn't work due to reasons beyond me. I've put in debug code that sends a chat message to the player when it's supposed to change the state. It sends the message but doesn't change the blockstate. Here's the block code: package lordmastodon.miscal.block; import java.util.Random; import lordmastodon.miscal.Miscal; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty; import net.minecraft.block.properties.PropertyBool; import net.minecraft.block.properties.PropertyDirection; import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockState; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase; import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.util.AxisAlignedBB; import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos; import net.minecraft.util.ChatComponentText; import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing; import net.minecraft.util.EnumWorldBlockLayer; import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; public class LightationBlock extends Block { public static final PropertyDirection FACING = PropertyDirection.create("facing"); public static final PropertyBool LIT_UP = PropertyBool.create("lit"); private float pixel = 1F/16F; public LightationBlock() { super(Material.iron); this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH).withProperty(LIT_UP, Boolean.valueOf(false))); } @Override public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune) { return Item.getItemFromBlock(MiscalBlocks.lightation); } @Override public boolean canPlaceBlockOnSide(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing side) { return worldIn.isSideSolid(pos.offset(side.getOpposite()), side, true); } @Override public boolean canPlaceBlockAt(World world, BlockPos pos) { EnumFacing[] anenumfacing = EnumFacing.values(); int i = anenumfacing.length; for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) { EnumFacing enumfacing = anenumfacing[j]; if (world.isSideSolid(pos.offset(enumfacing), enumfacing.getOpposite(), true)) { return true; } } return false; } @Override public IBlockState onBlockPlaced(World world, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int meta, EntityLivingBase placer) { return world.isSideSolid(pos.offset(facing.getOpposite()), facing, true) ?

15 : 0); } @Override public boolean canProvidePower() { return true; } } This used to work, and the blockstates file is not returning any errors at all. I'm not sure at all what changed.

Have a look at ModelChest and TileEntityChest.

UPDATE onBlockAdded doesn't seem to be working either. There also seems to be an odd bug that results in the block having no bounding box when I place it, but when I close Minecraft and reload the world the block has a full bounding box until I place a new block, and then the bounding boxes of every single instance of that block disappears. When I right-click the block when it has a bounding box the box disappears as well.

I don't know. It seems to be working for my other block, but there I use onBlockAdded so I don't know if that's important.

Well... I mean... bindTexture does take a ResourceLocation... That should be a pretty good indicator. As always, there might be a workaround or a different way to do things I am not aware of, but as far as I know no.

It uses EnumFacing. It's how you switch the block's direction when it's placed and things like that. It's basically NORTH, WEST, SOUTH, EAST, UP, DOWN.

I'm pretty sure you can't. Minecraft uses LWJGL, not Swing, which means it's not built off of JFrames and JPanels. There was another question a few days ago asking the same thing, here it is[/url.

I've created a block, and it's supposed to set its block bounds when it's placed. I put in the code for it to set them, but when I placed the block, nothing happened. I put in debug code for it to print when those methods are called, but the debug code isn't called either. Here's my block class: Any help? Thanks in advance! EDIT 1 Never mind. It seems that they ARE working, but Logger.debug is not. No clue why that is.

Yeah, I could make an external variable in the actual mod class and set it in the preInitialization event, but I'm just not sure that's the best thing to do.

Well, I need a Logger for more things than initialization events. I guess I could make a logger variable in the main class, but I don't know if that's the best practice.

So I've created a Logger class and as stated by the tutorial Pahimar did on this, you're supposed to use this line of code in your log function: FMLLog.log(ModConstants.MOD_NAME, logLevel, object); However, in reality, it seems that in 1.8 forge has changed this, and you now need a format string. I found this ( [font=Verdana][size=2px]"%s %s:\n%s"[/size][/font] ) somewhere, but I've no clue if that's correct or what to use if it's not. Thanks in advance!
