This is what i did for 1.8. You can easily get it to work with 1.7 if you can understand the way it works... tool class

Try putting an @Override over your display tick method. See if you're overriding it

You could have a look at the redstone ore class, thats what i used for my ores:

I should also state, the particle only renders as a solid orange rectangles

So I'm trying to make my custom particle have a custom texture, and that doesn't seem to be working... Here is my particle class: package net.industrial_magic.client.particle; import net.industrial_magic.event.TextureMagicParticle; import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft; import net.minecraft.client.particle.EntityFX; import net.minecraft.client.particle.IParticleFactory; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.TextureClock; import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; import net.slayer.api.SlayerAPI; @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public class EntityMagicFX extends EntityFX { private float scale; private double x; private double y; private double z; public EntityMagicFX(World worldIn, double p_i1204_2_, double p_i1204_4_, double p_i1204_6_, double p_i1204_8_, double p_i1204_10_, double p_i1204_12_) { super(worldIn, p_i1204_2_, p_i1204_4_, p_i1204_6_, p_i1204_8_, p_i1204_10_, p_i1204_12_); this.motionX = p_i1204_8_; this.motionY = p_i1204_10_; this.motionZ = p_i1204_12_; this.x = p_i1204_2_; this.y = p_i1204_4_; this.z = p_i1204_6_; this.posX = this.prevPosX = p_i1204_2_ + p_i1204_8_; this.posY = this.prevPosY = p_i1204_4_ + p_i1204_10_; this.posZ = this.prevPosZ = p_i1204_6_ + p_i1204_12_; float f = this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.6F + 0.4F; this.scale = this.particleScale = this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.5F + 0.2F; this.particleRed = this.particleGreen = this.particleBlue = 1.0F * f; this.particleGreen *= 0.9F; this.particleRed *= 0.9F; this.particleMaxAge = (int)(Math.random() * 10.0D) + 30; this.noClip = true; func_180435_a(new TextureMagicParticle("builtin/particles")); //this.setParticleTextureIndex(rand.nextInt(3)); } @Override public int getFXLayer() { return 1; } @Override public int getBrightnessForRender(float f) { return 100; } @Override public float getBrightness(float p_70013_1_) { return 100F; } @Override public void onUpdate() { this.prevPosX = this.posX; this.prevPosY = this.posY; this.prevPosZ = this.posZ; float f = (float)this.particleAge / (float)this.particleMaxAge; f = 1.0F - f; float f1 = 1.0F - f; f1 *= f1; f1 *= f1; this.posX = this.x + this.motionX * (double)f; this.posY = this.y + this.motionY * (double)f - (double)(f1 * 1.2F); this.posZ = this.z + this.motionZ * (double)f; if(this.particleAge++ >= this.particleMaxAge) this.setDead(); } } And here is my TextureMagicParticle: package net.industrial_magic.event; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.TextureAtlasSprite; import net.minecraft.client.resources.IResourceManager; import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation; import net.slayer.api.SlayerAPI; public class TextureMagicParticle extends TextureAtlasSprite { public TextureMagicParticle(String spriteName) { super(spriteName); makeAtlasSprite(new ResourceLocation(SlayerAPI.PREFIX + "textures/misc/particles.png")); } @Override public boolean hasCustomLoader(IResourceManager manager, ResourceLocation location) { return true; } } Now with the 1.8 update, it seems difficult making custom a texture

Well when you figure out your crash, remove public void onContainerClosed(EntityPlayer playerIn) { super.onContainerClosed(playerIn); if (!this.worldObj.isRemote) { for (int i = 0; i < 9; ++i) { ItemStack itemstack = this.craftMatrix.getStackInSlotOnClosing(i); if (itemstack != null) { playerIn.dropPlayerItemWithRandomChoice(itemstack, false); } } } } Because thats the code that dispenses the items after you exit the workbench

I seem to not be able to set my dimensions spawn, Im adding an End like dimension (one floating island) and i spawn way out of where i should be. I've added these into my world provider but i still seem to spawn in at the same position that i would be in the overworld (coords carrying over from the overworld dimension) @Override public boolean canCoordinateBeSpawn(int x, int z) { return this.worldObj.getGroundAboveSeaLevel(new BlockPos(x, 0, z)) == EssenceBlocks.corbaStone; } @Override public BlockPos getRandomizedSpawnPoint() { return new BlockPos(0, 63, 0); } @Override public BlockPos getSpawnPoint() { return new BlockPos(0, 63, 0); } @Override public void setSpawnPoint(BlockPos pos) { super.setSpawnPoint(new BlockPos(0, 63, 0)); } @Override public BlockPos getSpawnCoordinate() { return new BlockPos(0, 63, 0); } @Override public int getAverageGroundLevel() { return 63; } I even got so desperate that i called an event: @SubscribeEvent public void transferDims(PlayerChangedDimensionEvent e) { if(e.toDim == Config.corba) { SlayerAPI.addChatMessage(e.player, "In corba"); e.player.setLocationAndAngles(0, 63, 0, 0.0F, 0.0F); } } And it prints the message in chat, so why doesnt it set my location..? As always, any help would be muchly appreciated

You also shouldn't have more then one generation inside a for loop. It will just replace the first generation because you're using the same coords.

You can always use BiomeDictionary, It's BOP supportive as well. EntityRegistry.addSpawn(Entity.class, 1, 1, 1, EnumCreatureType.MONSTER, BiomeDictionary.getBiomesForType(Type.TYPE));

So back in 1.7 i made ores look like they're glowing (Just the ore part) sorta like Thaumcrafts shard ore. But now that the ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler is gone, i can't render two blocks at the same time (the way i did it is have a dummy block render as the background and have the texture of the ore only have the bits that show it is an ore otherwise it was a transparent texture in the texture file and set the actual ore block getMixedBrightnessForBlock to a high number to make it glow without emitting any light from the block.) So i know i can render an overlay over my block without having to render two blocks at once, but how do i set the brightness of only one overlay? Ill use grass as an example. The snow overlay would be bright and the rest of the block would have a normal brightness without emitting a light source.

So while loading up forge for mc 1.8 I start playing in a world (testing my mod) and this happens to me a lot: So I'm basically just wondering if this crash is because of me or because of forge not being stable yet. I would look more into the crash but it refers to something i cant control (not my code, it's mc's code) So I think the likely reason is.. Because Mojang. But if it's not, can someone tell me what it?

Yeah... ill see what i can do... If worst comes to worst, i wont have particles

This is still not spawning anything... @Override public void spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses particle, World worldObj, double x, double y, double z) { if(worldObj.isRemote) { worldObj.spawnParticle(particle.getParticle(), x, y, z, 0D, 0D, 0D); } }

Uhg the isRemote should be isClient then to solve confusions and to be honest, i actually don't know why i still am

So i basically changed these: @Override public void spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses particle, World worldObj, double x, double y, double z) { if(!worldObj.isRemote) { try { worldObj.spawnParticle(particle.getParticle(), x, y, z, 0D, 0D, 0D); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } public enum EnumParticlesClasses { LAVA("lava"), SMOKE("smoke"), FLAME("flame"), SNOWBALL_POOF("snowballpoof"); private String particle; private EnumParticlesClasses(String name) { particle = name; } public String getParticle() { return particle; } } @Override public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLivingBase hit, EntityLivingBase player) { Random r = new Random(); hit.setFire(10); if(Config.spawnSwordParticles) { for(int i = 0; i < 70; i++) { Essence.proxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.FLAME, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F); Essence.proxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.SMOKE, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F); Essence.proxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.LAVA, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F); } } return super.hitEntity(par1ItemStack, hit, player); } And it doesn't spawn any particles at all

So i basically cannot use the particle classes, i have to stay with the Strings?

I forgot to mention, this is the new method: @Override public void spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses particle, World worldObj, double posX, double posY, double posZ, boolean b) { if(!worldObj.isRemote) { try { EntityFX fx = null; if(b) { fx = (EntityFX)particle.getParticle().getConstructor(World.class, double.class, double.class, double.class).newInstance(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ); } else { fx = (EntityFX)particle.getParticle().getConstructor(World.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class).newInstance(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ, 0D, 0D, 0D); } Minecraft.getMinecraft().effectRenderer.addEffect(fx); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }

So i changed this to make it be called on the client only: @Override public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLivingBase hit, EntityLivingBase player) { Random r = new Random(); hit.setFire(10); if(Config.spawnSwordParticles) { for(int i = 0; i < 70; i++) { Essence.proxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.FLAME, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, false); Essence.proxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.SMOKE, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, false); Essence.proxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.LAVA, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, true); } } return super.hitEntity(par1ItemStack, hit, player); } common proxy public void spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses particle, World worldObj, double posX, double posY, double posZ, boolean b) { } and it now overrides the method in the client proxy

Wait... you don't think that i think that just because the method is in the ClientProxy that it automatically get called on the client do you?! I just put it there because I don't want to make a new class for client methods.

Okay, so I added this to my main class: public static ClientProxy clientProxy; this is now the particle method: public void spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses particle, World worldObj, double posX, double posY, double posZ, boolean b) { try { EntityFX fx = null; if(b) { fx = (EntityFX)particle.getParticle().getConstructor(World.class, double.class, double.class, double.class).newInstance(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ); } else { fx = (EntityFX)particle.getParticle().getConstructor(World.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class).newInstance(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ, 0D, 0D, 0D); } Minecraft.getMinecraft().effectRenderer.addEffect(fx); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } and am now using this in the item class: @Override public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLivingBase hit, EntityLivingBase player) { Random r = new Random(); for(int i = 0; i < 40; i++) { if(!player.worldObj.isRemote) { Essence.clientProxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.FLAME, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, false); Essence.clientProxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.SMOKE, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, false); Essence.clientProxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.LAVA, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, true); } return super.hitEntity(par1ItemStack, hit, player); }

So I have a strange crash with making my items spawn particles when they get hit using this: @Override public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLivingBase hit, EntityLivingBase player) { Random r = new Random(); for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) ClientProxy.spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses.SNOWBALL_POOF, player.worldObj, hit.posX + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, hit.posY + 0.5D + r.nextFloat(), hit.posZ + r.nextFloat() - 0.5F, false); return super.hitEntity(par1ItemStack, hit, player); } public static void spawnParticle(EnumParticlesClasses particle, World worldObj, double posX, double posY, double posZ, boolean b) { try { EntityFX fx = null; if(b) { fx = (EntityFX)particle.getParticle().getConstructor(World.class, double.class, double.class, double.class).newInstance(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ); } else { fx = (EntityFX)particle.getParticle().getConstructor(World.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class, double.class).newInstance(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ, 0D, 0D, 0D); } Minecraft.getMinecraft().effectRenderer.addEffect(fx); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public enum EnumParticlesClasses { LAVA(EntityLavaFX.class), SMOKE(EntitySmokeFX.class), FLAME(EntityFlameFX.class), SNOWBALL_POOF(EntitySnowShovelFX.class); private Class particle; private EnumParticlesClasses(Class<? extends EntityFX> clazz) { particle = clazz; } public Class getParticle() { return particle; } Crash report: The crash seems to be caused at "moveEntity(Entity)". The particles spawn but when they hit the ground they crash. So if anyone can help, that would be great...

With it there, it generates nothing. Without it, it generates a square..
