Absolutely certain. Even found this: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/issues/2349

So the code has been updated a bit, apparently it was just the onEntityItemUpdate method that was causing issues. However, now (and before) I also noticed that when I use the /give command for the item, it gives me two. Is there a solution for this?

In my mod, I needed to create a custom EntityItem so I could detect when it would be destroyed. However, when I press q to drop the item, it simply floats in place. This is the class for the custom EntityItem: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/Poppets/blob/master/src/main/java/com/tenzinpelletier/poppets/entities/EntityVoodooItem.java This is the class for the Item using it: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/Poppets/blob/master/src/main/java/com/tenzinpelletier/poppets/items/VoodooItem.java Any help is greatly appreciated. -- daPoseidonGuy

If I use this for fireEvent it seems to work: @SubscribeEvent public static void fireEvent(LivingHurtEvent event) { boolean found=false; if ((event.getEntity() instanceof EntityPlayer)&&(event.getSource()==DamageSource.ON_FIRE)) { EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.getEntity(); for(int i=0;i<player.inventory.getSizeInventory();i++) { if(player.inventory.getStackInSlot(i).getItem() == ModItems.firePoppet) { player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("Hoorah!")); player.inventory.getStackInSlot(i).damageItem(1, player); found = true; } } } if (found==true) { EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.getEntity(); player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("You have been saved from fire")); player.extinguish(); event.setCanceled(true); } } However I feel there must be a more elegant solution.

Source Code: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/Poppets/tree/master/src/main Problem: In this file: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/Poppets/blob/master/src/main/java/com/tenzinpelletier/poppets/ForgeEventHandler.java For fireEvent, the if statement seems to fail if the fire poppet is damaged at all, and I can't seem to figure out why. Am I doing the ItemStack wrong? The function executes fine, and damages the item, but once it is damaged it no longer works. Any help is appreciated

I might have just fixed it by adding a model definition into the inventory field, since i dont have a model set for the ItemBlock.

Working (without variants) Not Working (with Variants)

Wait so no blockstate files are supposed to have capital letters? how come all my other blocks render fine, then? And isn't the blockstate file name supposed to be identical to the registry and unlocalized names? I havent changed the blockstate file name and it was working fine before i added the variants.

So I've changed these things, but am still having trouble. I don't know if I've made other mistakes along the way or something, but it seems the entire blockstate file isn't working, since it doesn't seem to have the particle texture either.

How is it invalid? I'd check myself but my computer broke yesterday (motherboard died). Thanks for all the comments though, I wouldn't catch a lot of those things by myself.

PencilBlock renders as a pink and black cube, The console gives an error for literally every block state (facing=up,down, east,west etc.) However, I'm pretty sure I got everything right in the class itself, and I thought i had stuff right in the json file (now I removed some)

Hi! I tried adding different blockstates to my block. However, despite doing my best to follow what I saw in the forge docs and whatnot, I can't seem to set textures for these models. Right now I've rolled back a bit of what I did, but here's my code: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/PencilMod Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Fixed it now. I was using EnumActionResult.SUCCESS instead of EnumActionResult.PASS. I also added the swingingArm animation since EnumActionResult.PASS wouldn't add it. I'm guessing EnumActionResult.PASS passes it on to the vanilla code to register stuff serverside instead of just clientside.

Yes, when placed normally, the block stays. Only when placed via the itemPencil Item does it disappear on logout. Something in the way itemPencil creates the block makes it disappear on logout and impervious to any block updates. Edit: Updated github: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/PencilMod

New update: I realized that upon logging out, my block disappears from the world. This probably has to do with the way my itemPencil places it. When giving myself the BlockItem via /give and placing it down, it recieves block updates. So this has something to do with using world.setBlockState() to place my block i guess.

in onNeighborChange and neighborChanged i call doUpdate(). Destroying blocks around the PencilBlock or causing a block update via other means doesn't result in the display of the message, whilst a click does, so I know doUpdate() itself works. I will try adding a breakpoint now. EDIT: Adding a breakpoint didn't seem to do anything. Also calling Minecraft is only temporary (for debugging)

My code is kind of a clusterf*** right now. I'll clean it up a bit and make a github repo for it so all my code is readily available. Version is 1.10.2, sorry I forgot to mention it. Here's the github link: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/PencilMod

Right now, as the code shows, I'm in a state of desperate debugging. Neither updateTick, neighbourchanged or onneighbourchanged are triggering requiresUpdates. However, onBlockClicked is. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

It works! Thank you!

Oh, you're right. Thank you! Hopefully that's the only thing that's wrong. EDIT: Still doesnt seem to be working. I also updated the code embedded in the main post

Hi everyone. I was attempting to generate trees in the overworld, but I seem to have had little success. Just wanted to see where I went wrong.

Hi, I was trying to update my small mod. Doesn't seem to be working. I followed some tutorials online, and I did everything they said in terms of the new way textures work as of 1.8.. eclipse shows no errors, but when I click run, Minecraft crashes at preinitialization, with this report: http://pastebin.com/qXj6wzTP Here is my source code: https://github.com/daPoseidonGuy/GlowStoneMod/tree/master/1.8/src/main Seems to be related to both of my class files that handle the item models/textures. Any help would be appreciated.

@Instance("ModID") public static ClassName instance; How does this instantiate anything though? @Instance("ModID") so here I pass along the ModID as a string to this annotation... public static ClassName instance; how does this line set the field to the instance of my mod? is the word instance here connected to the annotation @Instance? @Instance public static ClassName instance = new ClassName(); Why does this one still work? @Instance why is there no ModID being passed along here? public static ClassName instance = new ClassName(); doesn't this make more sense as it is creating a New instance? Is it this one you said won't be the one forge uses?

@Instance("ModID") public static ClassName instance; How does this work? I understand it makes an Instance from which MinecraftForge can work from, but how does it achieve this? Also, what's the difference between the aformentioned code and this: @Instance public static ClassName instance = new ClassName(); Do they both achieve the same thing?
