How common it will be depends on how much people will use it ^^ It will never generate naturally. And there is only one .png used, for every possible combination.

Hi I created a block, which is supposed to have 255 different possible textures. That sounds like an awful lot, but most of these are just rotations. In fact it's 24 different ones (if I didn't miss any). The problem I'm facing is the metadata of a block. Since it is only 4 bits, I can only have 16 different states, or am I missing something? If it's the case, is there an alternative, or simply a way to use perhaps a bit more ? If not, I also thought about a second class, one for, say, 12 states and one for the next 12, and somehow merge them.. But it's my second mod, and it already took me 2 days to get 2 different variants placed, based on where on the block you click (like slabs, which can be on the top or bottom half of a block). Thanks in advance for all answers Reygok

Yeah I'm sorry I just googled a bit more and found out about HarvestDropsEvent, thanks anyway As for the second part, I know about .json files, as I made a new Ore and a new Block for my other mod, but those I made only contain one line, I didn't see where this could change the actual rendering process. This link looks great, thanks again And yeah I mean 8 sub-blocks, so 2x2x2 make up a big one - 512 is now what I want to achieve haha ^^ And I know about LittleBlocks, that's something completely different, as it just scales all the existing blocks, which even allows for tiny redstone circuits and everything. I just want to build stairs from dirt for example. That's the main purpose Thanks a lot for all the tips! Reygok

Hello all! I had the idea to divide almost every block in the game by 8, which gives a lot more building possibilites. I already made another mod before, a pretty simple one, where I just created new blocks and items and tools. This, however, is a whole new level, as it changes the game as it is, and doesn't only add new stuff. So I'm facing two problems: first, I can't figure out how to let an existing block drop something else, for example let Dirt drop my custom smaller dirt block. Second, I tried to render my small block of dirt, but it always renders at full size. I looked at the BlockSlab and BlockStairs classes, and also BlockFence, but the only thing I found, that seems to relate to this is setBaseCollisionBounds() and addCollisionBoxesToList(), but I changed the parameters of setBlockBounds() all to 0.5, but the collisionbox is still full. And also this does not apply to rendering, and I don't know how to render smaller than a full block. I searched quite a bit, but the biggest problem is that 95% of the tutorials are outdated, since I'm modding on 1.8. Thanks in advance for any help Reygok
