I got it to work! Thank you so much for your help

I'm assuming you're talking about this line (and a few others): Rot.net.sendToServer(new BaseBuilderPacket("2;"+te.xCoord+","+te.yCoord+","+te.zCoord)); I found the BaseBuilderPacket class, as well as the TextPacket class, and the method call makes it clear what you're doing. However, I couldn't find the actual code for Rot.net.sendToServer, could you please elaborate on this part? edit: I actually just found that Rot.net refers to a SimpleNetworkWrapper object within your main mod file. I'll look into this, thank you for the resources!

The situation is as follows: I've created a furnace-esque block called a Write Drive, and in the GUI I have a GuiTextField, and I want to set a string in the TileEntity object to the contents of this GuiTextField. Here is the relevant code: GuiWriteDrive.java: public class GuiWriteDrive extends GuiContainer { public static final ResourceLocation bground = new ResourceLocation(ModInfo.ID.toLowerCase(),"textures/gui/furnace.png"); private GuiTextField path; public TileEntityWriteDrive writeDrive; private TileEntityWriteDrive tile; public GuiWriteDrive(InventoryPlayer invPlayer, TileEntityWriteDrive entity) { super(new ContainerWriteDrive(invPlayer, entity)); this.writeDrive = entity; this.xSize = 176; this.ySize = 166; } public void drawGuiContainerForegroundLayer(int par1, int par2) { String name = this.writeDrive.hasCustomInventoryName() ? this.writeDrive.getInventoryName() : I18n.format(this.writeDrive.getInventoryName(), new Object[0]); this.fontRendererObj.drawString(name, (this.xSize - this.fontRendererObj.getStringWidth(name))/2, 6, 4210752); } @Override protected void drawGuiContainerBackgroundLayer(float f, int j, int i) { GL11.glColor4f(1F, 1F, 1F, 1F); Minecraft.getMinecraft().getTextureManager().bindTexture(bground); drawTexturedModalRect(guiLeft, guiTop, 0, 0, xSize, ySize); if (writeDrive.isCooking()) { int j1 = writeDrive.getCookTimeRemainingScaled(24); drawTexturedModalRect(guiLeft + 78, guiTop + 39, 176, 14, j1 , 17); } if (writeDrive.isBurning()) { int j2 = writeDrive.getBurnTimeRemainingScaled(35); drawTexturedModalRect(guiLeft + 27, guiTop + 69, 176, 0, j2 , 7); } } @Override public void drawScreen(int par1, int par2, float par3) { super.drawScreen(par1, par2, par3); this.path.drawTextBox(); } public void initGui() { super.initGui(); this.path = new GuiTextField(this.fontRendererObj, guiLeft + 6, guiTop + 40, 67, 13); this.path.setTextColor(-1); this.path.setDisabledTextColour(-1); this.path.setEnableBackgroundDrawing(true); this.path.setMaxStringLength(40); this.path.setFocused(true); } public void keyTyped(char c, int i){ this.path.textboxKeyTyped(c, i); TileEntityWriteDrive tile = (TileEntityWriteDrive) writeDrive.getWorldObj().getTileEntity(writeDrive.xCoord, writeDrive.yCoord, writeDrive.zCoord); if (tile != null) { tile.path = this.path.getText(); } if(!( i == Keyboard.KEY_E && this.path.isFocused())) super.keyTyped(c, i); } protected void mouseClicked(int par1, int par2, int par3) { super.mouseClicked(par1, par2, par3); this.path.mouseClicked(par1, par2, par3); } public void updateScreen() { this.path.updateCursorCounter(); } } TileEntityWriteDrive.java: public class TileEntityWriteDrive extends TileEntity implements IInventory { private String local; private ItemStack[] slots; public int burnTime; public int currentItemBurnTime; public int cookTime; public String path; public TileEntityWriteDrive() { slots = new ItemStack[3]; setGuiDisplayName("Write Drive"); burnTime = 0; currentItemBurnTime = 0; cookTime = 0; path = ""; } @Override public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) { super.writeToNBT(compound); NBTTagList list = new NBTTagList(); for(int i = 0; i < getSizeInventory(); i++) { ItemStack itemstack = getStackInSlot(i); if(itemstack != null) { NBTTagCompound item = new NBTTagCompound(); item.setByte("Slot", (byte) i); itemstack.writeToNBT(item); list.appendTag(item); } } compound.setTag("ItemsWriteDrive", list); compound.setString("path", path); } @Override public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) { super.readFromNBT(compound); path = compound.getString("path"); NBTTagList list = compound.getTagList("ItemsWriteDrive", compound.getId()); for(int i = 0; i < list.tagCount(); i++) { NBTTagCompound item = list.getCompoundTagAt(i); byte slot = item.getByte("Slot"); if (slot >= 0 && slot < getSizeInventory()) { setInventorySlotContents(slot, ItemStack.loadItemStackFromNBT(item)); } } } public boolean canWrite() { System.out.println("path = " + path); if (path != "testing") { return false; } if (slots[0] == null || slots[1] == null) { return false; } ItemStack itemstack = DriveRecipes.getSmeltingResult(Item.getIdFromItem(slots[0].getItem()), Item.getIdFromItem(slots[1].getItem())); if (itemstack == null) { return false; } if (slots[2] == null) { return true; } if (!slots[2].isItemEqual(itemstack)) { return false; } if (slots[2].stackSize < getInventoryStackLimit() && slots[2].stackSize < slots[2].getMaxStackSize()) { return true; } else { return slots[2].stackSize < itemstack.getMaxStackSize(); } } public void writeToDisc() { if (!canWrite()) { return; } ItemStack itemstack = DriveRecipes.getSmeltingResult(Item.getIdFromItem(slots[0].getItem()), Item.getIdFromItem(slots[1].getItem())); if (slots[2] == null) { slots[2] = itemstack.copy(); } else if (Item.getIdFromItem(slots[2].getItem()) == Item.getIdFromItem(itemstack.getItem())) { slots[2].stackSize++; } for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) { if (slots[i].stackSize <= 0) { slots[i] = new ItemStack(slots[i].getItem().setFull3D()); } else { slots[i].stackSize--; } if (slots[i].stackSize <= 0) { slots[i] = null; } } } public void updateEntity() { boolean flag = burnTime > 0; boolean flag1 = false; if (burnTime > 0) { burnTime--; } if (!worldObj.isRemote) { if (burnTime == 0 && canWrite()) { currentItemBurnTime = burnTime = getItemBurnTime(slots[1]); if (burnTime > 0) { flag1 = true; if (slots[1] != null) { if (slots[1].stackSize == 0) { slots[1] = new ItemStack(slots[1].getItem().setFull3D()); } else { slots[1].stackSize--; } if (slots[1].stackSize == 0) { slots[1] = null; } } } } if (isBurning() && canWrite()) { cookTime++; if (cookTime == 200) { cookTime = 0; writeToDisc(); flag1 = true; } } else { cookTime = 0; } if (flag != (burnTime > 0)) { flag1 = true; } } if (flag1) { markDirty(); } } } What's supposed to happen is that every time a key is pressed within the Gui, tile.path should be set to the contents of the textfield, but that's not actually working. keyTyped() is firing every time I press a key, getText() correctly returns the contents of the textfield, tile does not return null, but for some reason the sysout I have in the first line of the canWrite() method keeps showing "path = " i.e. path wasn't set by the Gui. Can someone lead me in the right direction? I'm pretty sure it's either something really wrong with my code or a typo, but I can't find anything on the internet.
