in the constructor it has a material and a boolean what does the boolean do?

ok

I'm making a steam block but I want it to be partially transparent, I've made a texture with the alpha set to 50ish, but it just acts like there's no texture. How could I make it so that it is partially transparent?

I got it to work finally....after like 20 or so hours working on it

As I said the block has a tilentity which implements my interface and what my code is doing is if it has a TileEntity, then it checks if the TileEntity implements my interface

It's my version of an energy system...unfortunately it only can have a single input unless I use a list

What I want to do is detect if a block is of a certain interface and if it is, then call a function to set some variables in said block but because the variables need to be in the nbt, the TileEntity needs to implement the interface.

I think what palmer is trying to ask is how would you do it. If you don know how you would have to do player.addChatComponentMessage(new ChatComponentTranslation("")). In the string put msg.yourmessagename.txt and do the same in your .lang file-same as naming items/block etc. As for the link I have no idea how.

if you mean downloading a texture pack from the server you could just use a server texture pack, its a vanilla thing but I have no idea how to use it due to me never setting up a server where it was needed.

the was really no difference it was mainly just random block around it

I doubt it but you might have to do List<EntityPlayer> instead of just List

I put this in my onBlockActivated method: if(world.getTileEntity(x, y+1, z)!=null)System.out.println("not Null"); if(world.getTileEntity(x, y+1, z) instanceof IPowerContainer)System.out.println("Is Power Container"); the block that I placed on top implemented IPowerContainer and had a TileEntity this is what I got in the console: not Null

I know how to use the debugger mode, and I've done System.out.println(te) before and it wasn't null and instanceof wasn't returning true still...

In your registerBlockIcons you are doing: this.blockIcon = p_149651_1_.registerIcon("citrine:citrineOre"); its supposed to be: this.blockIcon = p_149651_1_.registerIcon("FarmersDream:citrineOre"); in the register icon function, you have to do your MODID and the texture name. Also make sure it's in the correct location.

yeah I have setup my TileEntity correctly it can already store power and save to nbt and all the normal tileEntity stuff also I'm pretty sure that the tileEntity isn't null because I replace the blocks every time I test it

what I would do is to have it detect if its within 10 ticks of finishing and only count 1 instead of the normal 2 so if it was at 20, it would tick up/down 2 and if it was at 7 it would tick up/down only 1

try putting GameRegistry.addSmelting after you register your blocks and items also why are so many people using LanguageRegistry.addName?

bbcode why you do this?

oops forgot to do " "

what I was doing was TileEntity te = world.getTileEntity(x,y-1,z); if(te!=null) if(te instanceof IPowerContainer) System.out.println("yes"); and it wasn't printing anything even though I had a block that properly implemented it and had a tileEntity below my battery

do you know what the catch would be?

what do you mean by wrap it?

I've made a battery class which implements a custom interface "IPowerProvider" and a cable which also implements the same interface, when I want to add more cables how could I detect if the class implements my interface? sidenote-I've tried to use instanceof with an instance rather than the class but it didn't work

Firstly if you are making a mod that disables xray texture packs try using a plugin so that the hackers don't know that you're checking. But it you want to do something else the best way would to be to use a packet to get whatever info you want(keep in mind that an entire texture pack will not be able to be sent w/o crashing or lagging the server badly) and then send it to the server side.

I fixed it but I had to hard-wire the name in by changing StatCollector.translateToLocal(this.getUnlocalizedName(par1ItemStack); to StatCollector.translateToLocal("Item name"); unfortunately now it doesn't work with the .lang file
