At the moment, in the renderer. The renderer is working perfectly, as it switches over if I change the orientation value manually in the entity class.

I'm sure. I've updated my post to include the onUpdate() portion of the tile entity that spawns said entity.

I have a custom entity class that has a constructor that doesn't seem to be working. The entity is designed to die when it hits certain kinds of blocks, and it's correctly done so. The problem was, the block it was sent from can be the same kind as it can die on, so I wanted to store the source block's blockPos in the entity class so I can make sure it doesn't die on the source block. I also have an orientation variable that changes the color of the entity depending on its value. The problem is I tried to set these in a constructor, but said constructor doesn't seem to be setting these values. I found a work-around for the position part, but the orientation part I can't seem to fix. Can anyone see what might be going wrong?

I've got the entity spawning now, but now I'm wondering how to get the entity to travel in a straight line from its spawn point to a pre-defined BlockPos.

I have a tile entity that should send an entity from itself to a set of coordinates specified in the tile entity. The entity it sends is what I'm trying to make. I want it to look similar to the XP orb (I can change some stuff around later), but I have no idea how to get new entities to show up in Minecraft beyond 1.7. Does anyone know what I should do or know of any good updated tutorials?

I think I've got that part working now with this.worldObj.provider.getDimension(), but now I'm wondering how and if I can get a tile entity that may be in a different dimension.

I can find the blockPos of a tile entity just fine, but I need to also know which dimension it is in. I know there's a way to get this from a player, but I'm wanting to use just the tile entity itself if at all possible.

That definitely worked, but if you don't mind me asking, why does it work?

I have an item that stores coordinates when right-clicked on a block and sends a chat message to the wielding player what the coordinates are. The problem I've encountered is when I click on a block, the chat message is posted multiple times. I think this is due to the onItemUse() function being called in rapid succession while the right-mouse button is held down, and a basic click is enough to get it to trigger at least twice. Is there any way, aside from making the item tickable and storing a delay on the item, to either bypass the rapid right-click functionality or create a delay? I've tried using onPlayerStoppedUsing() but it didn't work for me.

I'm following along on a tutorial made for 1.8 that makes an item that stores the coordinates of a block it's used on. EnumChatFormatting is what's used in the tutorial, but eclipse can't find this class in 1.10. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if there is an updated way to do what I'm wanting?

Is Forge for 1.10 complete? I ask because when I tried to update to 1.8, Forge wasn't sufficiently complete to allow new villagers, at the very least.

So I have an item that places a block that can store one item inside it. If I right-click on the block with the correct type of item and the block is empty, said item is deposited. If I right-click on the block while the block is full, the item should drop from the block. The problem I'm having is somehow I'm spawning two item entities. I'm able to pick up one of these entities, but the other one doesn't do anything if I walk over it. I changed the normal item drop code for my tile entity (I pulled it from another tile entity from a previous version of the project) to prevent any upward motion of the item when it's dropped. The item that I can't pick up has no upward motion when spawned, but the one I can pick up drops like a normal item. Only one entity drops when I break the block. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong that's causing the second item entity to spawn?

I'm using some functions to streamline coding for crafting recipes that don't involve overloading fifty trillion functions. I'm also storing nuggets and ingots in arrays to make adding nuggets/ingots/other metal items quickly. What I'm wanting to do is specify the ore dictionary names for the craftStorage function so I can craft both ingots and nuggets using the ore dictionary in one line. Is there a way to retrieve the ore dictionary name from a specified item or your mod's item from the ore dictionary name? private void addCrafting() { craftStorage(ItemInit.ingot_copper, ItemInit.nugget_copper, 9); } private void craftStorage(Object container, Object component, int quantity) { craftOneToX(container, component, quantity); craftXToOne(container, component, quantity); } private void craftOneToX(Object container, Object component, int quantity) { // Convert Object types to ItemStacks ItemStack newContainer = TCOAE_Functions.ObjToStack(container); ItemStack newComponent = TCOAE_Functions.ObjToStack(component); GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(TCOAE_Functions.stack(newComponent, quantity), newContainer); } private void craftXToOne(Object container, Object component, int quantity) { ItemStack newContainer = TCOAE_Functions.ObjToStack(container); ItemStack newComponent = TCOAE_Functions.ObjToStack(component); // Create array list to dynamically add shapeless items of same type ArrayList recipe = new ArrayList(); for (int i = 0; i < quantity; i++) { recipe.add(newComponent); } // Convert to object array for use in shapeless recipe Object[] objectRecipe = new Object[quantity]; objectRecipe = recipe.toArray(); GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(newContainer, recipe.toArray()); } public static ItemStack stack(Object item, int quantity, int damage) { ItemStack returnThis; if (item instanceof Item) { returnThis = new ItemStack((Item)item, quantity, damage); } else if (item instanceof Block) { returnThis = new ItemStack((Block)item, quantity, damage); } else { returnThis = ((ItemStack) item).copy(); returnThis.stackSize = quantity; returnThis.setItemDamage(damage); } return returnThis; } // Makes a stack with specified object and quantity, default damage public static ItemStack stack(Object item, int quantity) { if (item instanceof ItemStack) { ItemStack returnThis = ((ItemStack) item).copy(); returnThis.stackSize = quantity; return returnThis; } return stack(item, quantity, 0); } // Makes a stack with specified object, default quantity and damage public static ItemStack stack(Object item) { if (item instanceof ItemStack) { return (ItemStack) item; } return stack(item, 1); } public static ItemStack ObjToStack(Object input) { return (input instanceof Block ? new ItemStack((Block) input) : (input instanceof Item ? new ItemStack((Item) input) : (ItemStack) input)); }

How do the encouragement and flammability values of that function work? Also, does this need to happen before or after the custom blocks are registered?

I've added some custom wood blocks whose class inherits from BlockLog, and for whatever reason, I can't get them to burn like normal wood. I can set the top face of the block on fire, but I can't set the sides on fire like I can with regular wood, and the custom wood blocks don't burn up. The only things the BlockOldLog and BlockNewLog classes do that the BlockLog class does not is specify the vanilla wood types, so I don't believe that's the issue. The Block_RawLog class has a tick event, but I don't know if that would change things. Can anyone see if I'm missing something or doing something wrong? Here's the code for the custom wood blocks: public class Block_RawLog extends BlockLog { public Block_RawLog() { this.setTickRandomly(true); } @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister register) { this.field_150167_a = new IIcon[1]; this.field_150167_a[0] = register.registerIcon(this.getTextureName() + "_" + "side"); this.field_150166_b = new IIcon[1]; this.field_150166_b[0] = register.registerIcon(this.getTextureName() + "_" + "top"); } public void updateTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random random) { boolean debug = true; int meta_orig = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z); int meta_rot = meta_orig & 3; // 12D = 0011B, isolates bottom bits int meta_dir = meta_orig - meta_rot; if (meta_rot == 3 || (debug && meta_rot >= 1)) { world.setBlock(x, y, z, BlockInit.Raw_Log_Dead, meta_dir, 2); } else { meta_rot++; world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, meta_rot+meta_dir, 2); } } } How I'm instantiating the blocks themselves, in case there's something different I need to do here: Raw_Log_Birch = new Block_RawLog().setBlockName("raw_log_birch").setCreativeTab(mod_TrekkieCubOddsAndEnds.tab_usefulthings).setBlockTextureName(TCOAE_Const.PRE_USE + "raw_log_birch");

Solved it. I wasn't marking the block for an update when I read from NBT. Now that I am, it's working perfectly.

I've looked into this a little, and made a few changes to my tile entity class, but they don't seem to be working and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The issue I mentioned persists. The major changes I've made are the bottom four functions. package com.trekkiecub.hodgepodge.init; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Random; import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

So I have a machine block that has textures for when the machine is running and when it is not. Rather than use two separate blocks to represent these states like the vanilla furnace does, I use a custom block renderer that checks an integer in the block's corresponding tile entity to accomplish this. It works for the most part, except that the block's texture won't update unless I break a different block (tall grass, dirt, etc). It seems like it's a really basic fix, but I'm not sure what I need to add. I've included all the classes relevant to the block in case any of them need to be modified. package com.trekkiecub.hodgepodge.init; import com.trekkiecub.hodgepodge.mod_TrekkieCubHodgePodge; import com.trekkiecub.hodgepodge.proxy.Proxy_Client;

That's what I was doing, but the problem is the level of the enchantments are still completely random (still the case with the earlier suggestion too). I'm trying to make it so that three different bags have three different general levels of enchanted books, but that's not happening yet.

Sorry, I didn't include the rest of the items with that bag that are available. The enchanted book is only one possibility, and I have other items that can be generated by the bag. Also, I've now got a new problem: where to get the Random for that method from. I could make a new one, but I'm hesitant to do so. This is the code I have. I haven't added the modified book to the chest hook yet I'd like to include a pre-made Random variable where I'm making the new one, but not sure where to get it from. @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { ItemInit.init(); ItemInit.register(); ChestHooks.init(); } public class ChestHooks { static ChestGenHooks loot_bag_common = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_BAG_COMMON); static ChestGenHooks loot_bag_uncommon = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_BAG_UNCOMMON); static ChestGenHooks loot_bag_rare = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_BAG_RARE); static ChestGenHooks loot_bag_epic = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_BAG_EPIC); static ChestGenHooks loot_bag_mythical = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_BAG_MYTHICAL); static ChestGenHooks loot_bag_trash = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_BAG_TRASH); static ChestGenHooks loot_trader = ChestGenHooks.getInfo(VenturyThings.LOOT_TRADER); public static void init() { // Loot Bag - Rare ItemStack lowbook = new ItemStack(Items.book, 1, 0); EnchantmentHelper.addRandomEnchantment(new Random(), lowbook, 10); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.anvil)), 1, 3, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.coal_block)), 1, 3, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.redstone_block)), 1, 3, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_boots), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_chestplate), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_leggings), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_helmet), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_boots), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_chestplate), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_leggings), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_helmet), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.ender_pearl), 1, 4, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.glowstone_dust), 3, 7, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_axe), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_shovel), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_sword), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_pickaxe), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.iron_hoe), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_axe), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_shovel), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_sword), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_pickaxe), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(Items.golden_hoe), 1, 1, 20)); loot_bag_rare.setMin(1); loot_bag_rare.setMax(4); } []

I have some items that function as loot bags, where the bag, when used, gives random items to the player. The bags come in tiers, with different items for each tier of bag. I'm using ChestGenHooks for the bag content. I'd like to add enchanted books whose level increases with the tier of loot bag. I've got a bag generating enchanted books, but the enchantments on the book are random. Here's the code I'm using. The top two lines are taken directly from the ChestGenHooks file and are used for adding randomly enchanted books to various generated chests. I'd like to control the level of the enchantments, but I'm not sure how to do this. Does anyone know how to do this, if it's possible? ItemStack book = new ItemStack(Items.enchanted_book, 1, 0); WeightedRandomChestContent tmp = new WeightedRandomChestContent(book, 1, 1, 1); loot_bag_rare.addItem(tmp);

Anyone? If one of these can be resolved by digging a little deeper (aka me being either lazy or stupid) please go ahead and tell me so I can try to get these resolved.

I'm having a few problems when trying to create a custom building in a village. 1) I'm trying to make the structure out of Polished Andesite. Unfortunately, some of the blocks are being replaced with ores, gravel, other stone types, etc. I think the problem is the order in which certain items are created in the world, with ores being generated after villages and the ore generation replacing some stone blocks, regardless of block state. Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve modification of vanilla files? 2) Some of the blocks within the building are not rotating correctly with the building. Some, like stairs and torches, are rotating correctly, but chests and trapdoors aren't. Considering furnaces and chests in vanilla village buildings aren't consistently rotating either, this looks like a problem with vanilla Minecraft itself. Has anyone found a workaround? 3) How do I change which blocks are being used to construct the building depending on the current biome? I'm not sure how to find the current position in the world where the structure is being spawned. If I knew how to do that, I could probably find the local biome with the World object. I know vanilla villages, at some point, had a method where all of the various materials in a village would be replaced with their desert counterparts if the village was in a desert, but I forgot where that was located and don't know how to make it change my building. If anyone can help with these issues I'd greatly appreciate it!

I think you have to create a new BlockPos based on the x and z values passed into the generateOverworld function. Granted, using these values as-is will only generate your blocks in the corner of the chunk closest to the origin, so you have to add some randomness to the position you use for the generate() function if you don't want this result. Also, you have to find the height you want to generate at and include that in the BlockPos. I haven't worked with 1.8 yet, but it seems that not a lot has changed between 1.7 and 1.8 when it comes to determining a location in Minecraft. Try looking at some tutorials for 1.7 and see if you can adapt them to 1.8

So I'm wondering what went through the collective minds over at Mojang regarding how materials are balanced. The number of uses an item has seems to be roughly proportional to their real-life counterparts' Mohs hardness, as is their strength against an entity. However, I'm trying to figure out how they balanced Efficiency, as well as Enchantability. Enchantability seems to be a rough approximation of how much magic-related myth surrounds a material (although I would expect diamond to be higher than iron, which is not the case), but Efficiency isn't making much sense to me. Wood is 2.0, Stone is 4.0, Iron 6, Diamond 8, Gold 12. Did they just increment the numbers by two based on the hardness of the material and then decide to make Gold max just to make gold tools useful, or is there a reason based on real-life materials? I ask, of course, because I'm looking to add custom tools and I'm trying to figure out balancing.
