Ok so I want to make it, such that when the block I have is placed, Spawn fireworks(With random variables as lifetime height etc) in a circle(if possible) in a 5 block radius around the block. At the bare minimum, I want the block, when placed, to spawn a bunch of fireworks(random variables if possible). So In order of importance: Spawn fireworks --> 5 block radius around the center of the block ----->Fireworks are randomly generated --------->They spawn in a circle, like spinning. So like 1 spawns in the center, left center, left left center, left, left behind, left left behind, behind etc... Hopefully that made sense, if not, please say why and i will clarify it as best I can.

The forums are deff not as active as they used to be... or atleast not as many people are replying as they used to

EDIT: Ok I found the OnBlockActivated method, so thats the first thing. Now, which method do I call to spawn the fireworks? I believe I can handle it from there For anyone thats wondering, I am making a mod for my girlfriend, she also plays Minecraft. Thought it'd be a fun project. I want the block to basically activate a "celebration" of fireworks, about a radius of 5 blocks away from the block on right clicked.

So i was messing around with fixing my eclipse workspace and stuff, rearranging and i dont know. I dont know what i did, but something didnt work out, but I dont think anything should have been affected. I try and load a world, and it doesnt work. (Also do you need the crash log instead of Console? Ill try and find it when I wake up(9 or 10 hours probably), as I am posting this before I go to bed) Console: It does say Out of memory, but I dont know why or anything. It was working before I tried moving stuff, and i dont think I can like, restore it too a point where it was working. I am very bad at using Eclipse, not like I'd perfer Notepad, but I dont know how to use it very well(its not that im old, cuz im not) I wish we could like teleport some Forge Tech Support from somewhere and have them sit at my computer and fix it(Lex go work on that now ) Any help would be awesome, because I am new to like everything.

Of course not

Any tutorials or help?

I have abosultely no clue what most of those do, and I know a little Java, I tried to start learning it on my own, stuff came up, and I stopped it, then I started to make some mods. I understand probably about 85% of a piece of code(I know minecraft more than I would with say Android). Like I find a tutorial that isnt good, its just source that someone made as a "tutorial" But barely explains it(what is actually happening and why), I can pretty much understand it. But I cannot make pretty much anything from scratch, my memory doesnt have all the Java stuff in it yet. The "still learning Java" part is a bit outdated but not entirely false.

I dont know if its me not searching well enough or what but I cannot find any good tutorials for 1.6.2 that explain/show how to make a tool set(sword pickaxe shovel axe) and also armor

Basically all I need is a detailed tutorial(pictures would help a lot) on how to update(including fixing textures, that helps too), because I apparently messed up somewhere Edit: Ok so I got it all working, except my textures. Pink and Black squares, just like I think everyone

Can you give me more detail on how to update? I have MCP running, and I believe Forge installed correctly, but when I go into eclipse and I go into the explorer I cant find any Forge directories. And I also dont know where to put my source from 1.5.2

Im trying to make this glass block(That im going to make later today, also dont know how to make blocks transparent(yes I need a lot of help on stuff)) have connected texture but I cant find any tutorials that I could follow(yes im a noob, but I like to do things my way, not the professional way, yet) And I also need to update to 1.6 but I dont know how. I read somewhere that you need to make sure you backed up your code, then delete it all and do it again but with the current versions but I dont know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've tried each suggestion and none are working. So I'm gonna explain what I am doing. My block(its an ore) loads into the game fine. No errors in console. Its in the correct creative menu, so I grab the block. I turn myself onto survival, and try to mine the block. Its breaks instantly, as if I were on Creative. The block only drops itself if I "mine" it with an Iron or better pickaxe. I CAN break the block with my hand, instantly, but without it dropping.

Its not working, It still breaks with my hand instantly, but doesnt drop it; and also it drops with iron and up, but no durability is taken away from the tool

So I made an ore, and it spawns. But the problem is its not getting harvested right. It's meant to be mined by an Iron pickaxe, but I cant seem to get it to work. It just breaks by hand, like a torch. There are no errors too btw. My block class: I'm pretty sure there is a lot of unused code in that file im just too lazy to clean it up

I found it! Sorry. I tend not to read everything

Because: this.blockIcon = par1iconregister.registerIcon("[oreJuli]"); Your registering things wrong. It's looking for a file named "[oreJuli]" (including those brackets!) in the /mods/textures/blocks folder. 17th time I've posted this: If I follow your setup, I get an error on 'blockIcon': Syntax error on token "blockIcon", VariableDeclaratorId expected after this token

Ok finally the ore spawns. But the texture is still being "Missing Texture" Derpy.

Eh. My C* is a bit rusty. I can't write applications from the ground up, much less one with a GUI or any rendering. Most of what I do is either in Unity3D, Flash, or web-based. As far as I'm concerned the only difference between Java and Flash is how variables are declared. ("int a;" vs. "var a:int;") Oh, and having to deal with Floats and Doubles not being the same thing and can't convert between them implicitly. The largest change for me (python to java) was getting used to all the type restriction, and not just float/double. (function args, returns, variable types, casting) I don't like the way Java restricts everything. I've wanted, many times, to change something that was private/protected/package or final in a Minecraft class, but I couldn't. Making a getter and setter for one variable when you could just refer directly seems like a waste of space. I hold the belief that if you don't want something changed, it is a simple matter to *not change it*. Or, if you're writing an API or the like, make sure to write in the docs that you don't want it changed. I wrote a rant a while back to this effect. Actually, the largest change was probably the eternal stupidity of Java arrays (here's another rant for you). Python's list syntax alone makes it a better language. Probably the only advantage Java has over Python that I can think of is the ternary operator. And even then you can instead use (c,a) instead of a ? b : c. Or maybe the largest change would be the non-descriptive-ness of NPE's. If Python can use a NameError to say that something isn't defined, or an AttributeError to say that there's no such function or method, I don't see why Java can't. Just put a "static" modifier on the block. How do i do that? More so i guess where do i put that? In the class where you declared your block ID, add static to the beginning. ie: public static myFirstBlockID (public isn't necessary, but I do use it sometimes) Ok I cant seem to get it to work. I declared it in my main class file, but I thought I already had it static My Event Manager code: And my oreJuli class(The block im trying to spawn): Sorry I am extremely bad at Java, I just wanted something fun and easy(easy as in like it wont take hundreds of hours of coding) to do over the summer. I promise I will start learning soon, I just want that ore to work first! And back to the original original question, My block(from the creative menu) Has the "Missing Texture" texture

So I started sorta learning Lua when I was like 8 but i didnt get far at all(played Roblox) then when I was 13 I started learning Java, but didnt get very far, made some VERY simple programs, and then I started to mod minecraft. I then kind of gave up till summer started so I had all the time in the world. And I would like my ore to spawn. So how do I make it static?

I know there are other people, but Lex knows everything so ya As for the static part, uhhmmm I dont know

Im getting an error under mtshaw113.juli.oreJuli.blockID, Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field mtshaw113.juli.oreJuli.blockID Any help? Wish Lex could answer everything for noobs, it'd make stuff easier

Im getting an error under mtshaw113.juli.oreJuli.blockID, Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field mtshaw113.juli.oreJuli.blockID

Thank you for the tip I'm new, and following tutorials for some of the things I do not know.

Oh Sorry. I didnt know he was using proper grammer, thought it meant something. Ok now can any help with my problem about the EventManager class? Line 32, I need to specify the block to spawn, and Im trying to do that, but the package its in is mtshaw113.juli and I cant find out to how to make it specify the block, which is mtshaw113.juli.oreJuli(Sorry if Im not using proper grammer and confusing you guys, I write badly)
