Thank you so much! After copying everything except the last switch statement into my block, it works perfectly.

ok, so here is my code now: package tutorial.generic; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.BlockRailBase; import net.minecraft.block.ITileEntityProvider; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty; import net.minecraft.block.properties.PropertyEnum; import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockState; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase; import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer; import net.minecraft.inventory.InventoryHelper; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos; import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing; import net.minecraft.util.IStringSerializable; import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import tutorial.generic.railControlBlock.EnumPartType; public class genericBlockTileEntity extends Block implements ITileEntityProvider { public static final PropertyEnum ROTATION = PropertyEnum.create("rotation", EnumFacing.class); private static String name = "genericBlockTileEntity"; private int rotation; public genericBlockTileEntity() { super(Material.iron); GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(genericTileEntity.class, name); GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, name); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc); this.setUnlocalizedName(name); this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(ROTATION, EnumFacing.NORTH)); this.rotation = 0; this.setHardness(2.0f); this.setResistance(6.0f); this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 2); this.isBlockContainer = true; } @Override public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) { return new genericTileEntity(); } @Override public boolean onBlockEventReceived(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, int eventID, int eventParam) { super.onBlockEventReceived(worldIn, pos, state, eventID, eventParam); TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos); return tileentity == null ?

ok, so how exactly do I get the entire script set up to work with EnumFacing, would i do a find and replace on Rotation Enum?

I have this maintenance controller code: gist for the code here : https://gist.github.com/UltraTechX/928e14ca880a64339997 public class genericBlockTileEntity extends Block implements ITileEntityProvider { public static final PropertyEnum ROTATION = PropertyEnum.create("rotation", RotationEnum.class); private static String name = "genericBlockTileEntity"; private int rotation; public genericBlockTileEntity() { super(Material.iron); GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(genericTileEntity.class, name); GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, name); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc); this.setUnlocalizedName(name); this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(ROTATION, RotationEnum.NORTH)); this.rotation = 0; this.setHardness(2.0f); this.setResistance(6.0f); this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 2); this.isBlockContainer = true; } @Override public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) { return new genericTileEntity(); } @Override public boolean onBlockEventReceived(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, int eventID, int eventParam) { super.onBlockEventReceived(worldIn, pos, state, eventID, eventParam); TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos); return tileentity == null ?

Thanks gist can be found here : https://gist.github.com/UltraTechX/928e14ca880a64339997

PART is a PropertyEnum of EnumPartType , but you're trying to assign an int value to it ( this.part ). i saw that too, so I made this and it works! Thanks for all your help! @Override public IBlockState getActualState(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos){ if(this.part == 2){ return state.withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.RIGHT); }else if(this.part == 1){ return state.withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.LEFT); }else{ return state.withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.MIDDLE); } }

you were right! Now the error changed to the line that i put in my block's class: Cannot set property PropertyEnum{name=part, clazz=class tutorial.generic.railControlBlock$EnumPartType, values=[middle, left, right]} to 0 on block generic:railControlBlock, it is not an allowed value here is the function that breaks it: @Override public IBlockState getActualState(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos){ return state.withProperty(PART, this.part); }

whats the "bleeding edge" version of gradle and where can I find it?

i dont use any SFX yet in the game, so I don't think that is the case

it just says unexpected error when I break the block, here is the gist : https://gist.github.com/UltraTechX/ed19605d8b0b241ff1e7

it started crashing after i added this to the blocks main class: @Override public IBlockState getActualState(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos) /* */ { return state.withProperty(PART, this.part); } i dont know whats wrong now.

something is different now, i added PART to everything that only had shape to get this code: package tutorial.generic; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.BlockRail; import net.minecraft.block.BlockRailBase; import net.minecraft.block.ITileEntityProvider; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty; import net.minecraft.block.properties.PropertyEnum; import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockState; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; import net.minecraft.util.AxisAlignedBB; import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos; import net.minecraft.util.IStringSerializable; import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; public class railControlBlock extends BlockRail implements ITileEntityProvider { public static final PropertyEnum PART = PropertyEnum.create("part", EnumPartType.class); public static final PropertyEnum SHAPE = PropertyEnum.create("shape", BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.class); private static String name = "railControlBlock"; public railControlBlock(int pnum) { super(); GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(railControl.class, name); if(pnum == 0) { setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.MIDDLE).withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.NORTH_SOUTH)); }else if(pnum == 1){ setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.LEFT).withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.NORTH_SOUTH)); }else if(pnum == 2){ setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.RIGHT).withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.NORTH_SOUTH)); } GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, name); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc); this.setUnlocalizedName(name); this.setHardness(2.0f); setBlockBounds(); this.setResistance(6.0f); this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 2); this.isBlockContainer = true; } @Override public String toString() { return getName(); } @Override public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) { return new railControl(); } public static String getName(){ return name; } @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public AxisAlignedBB getSelectedBoundingBox(World worldIn, BlockPos pos) { setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(worldIn, pos); return super.getSelectedBoundingBox(worldIn, pos); } public IProperty getShapeProperty() { return SHAPE; } public IProperty getPartProperty() { return PART; } public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) { return getDefaultState().withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.byMetadata(meta)).withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.byMetadata(meta)); } @Override public void setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos) { setBlockBounds(); } private void setBlockBounds() { setBlockBounds(0F, 0.0F, 0F, 1F, 0.125F, 1F); } public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) { return ((EnumPartType)state.getValue(PART)).getMetadata(); } protected BlockState createBlockState() { return new BlockState(this, new IProperty[] { PART, SHAPE }); } public boolean isOpaqueCube() { return false; } /** * If this block doesn't render as an ordinary block it will return False (examples: signs, buttons, stairs, etc) */ public boolean renderAsNormalBlock() { return false; } public int getRenderBlockPass() { return 1; } protected void onNeighborChangedInternal(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Block neighborBlock) { //whenever the blocks around it change } public static enum EnumPartType implements IStringSerializable { MIDDLE(0, "middle"), LEFT(1, "left"), RIGHT(2, "right"); private static final EnumPartType[] META_LOOKUP = new EnumPartType[values().length]; private final int meta; private final String name; private EnumPartType(int meta, String name) { this.meta = meta; this.name = name; } public int getMetadata() { return this.meta; } public String toString() { return this.name; } public String getName() { return this.name; } public static EnumPartType byMetadata(int meta) { if (meta < 0 || meta >= META_LOOKUP.length) { meta = 0; } return META_LOOKUP[meta]; } static { EnumPartType[] var0 = values(); int var1 = var0.length; for (int var2 = 0; var2 < var1; ++var2) { EnumPartType var3 = var0[var2]; META_LOOKUP[var3.getMetadata()] = var3; } } } } but here is what made it work: i changed: public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) { return ((BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection)state.getValue(SHAPE)).getMetadata(); } to: public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) { return ((EnumPartType)state.getValue(PART)).getMetadata(); } but now the block will not rotate anymore, how can I return both Blockstate's metadata?

ok, here is all of the missing blockstates: [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=north_south not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=ascending_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=north_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=middle,shape=ascending_north not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=ascending_south not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=ascending_north not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=south_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=ascending_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=east_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=north_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=south_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=east_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=middle,shape=ascending_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=ascending_south not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=middle,shape=ascending_south not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=south_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=north_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=ascending_north not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=south_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=ascending_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=north_south not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=right,shape=ascending_west not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=middle,shape=ascending_east not found [07:52:27] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location generic:railControlBlock#part=left,shape=north_west not found here is the reason i think its not that some are missing, its because the following should be true: "part=middle,shape=north_south": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock" }, because of these lines in the block code that are run in the constructor: setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.NORTH_SOUTH).withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.MIDDLE));

bump

In case this helps here is the block class (enum is in the class as well): package tutorial.generic; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.BlockRail; import net.minecraft.block.BlockRailBase; import net.minecraft.block.ITileEntityProvider; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty; import net.minecraft.block.properties.PropertyEnum; import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockState; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; import net.minecraft.util.AxisAlignedBB; import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos; import net.minecraft.util.IStringSerializable; import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess; import net.minecraft.world.World; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; public class railControlBlock extends BlockRail implements ITileEntityProvider { public static final PropertyEnum SHAPE = PropertyEnum.create("shape", BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.class); public static final PropertyEnum PART = PropertyEnum.create("part", EnumPartType.class); private static String name = "railControlBlock"; public railControlBlock() { super(); GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(railControl.class, name); setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.NORTH_SOUTH).withProperty(PART, EnumPartType.MIDDLE)); GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, name); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc); this.setUnlocalizedName(name); this.setHardness(2.0f); setBlockBounds(); this.setResistance(6.0f); this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 2); this.isBlockContainer = true; } @Override public String toString() { return getName(); } @Override public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) { return new railControl(); } public static String getName(){ return name; } @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public AxisAlignedBB getSelectedBoundingBox(World worldIn, BlockPos pos) { setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(worldIn, pos); return super.getSelectedBoundingBox(worldIn, pos); } public IProperty getShapeProperty() { return SHAPE; } public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) { return getDefaultState().withProperty(SHAPE, BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection.byMetadata(meta)); } @Override public void setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos) { setBlockBounds(); } private void setBlockBounds() { setBlockBounds(0F, 0.0F, 0F, 1F, 0.125F, 1F); } public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) { return ((BlockRailBase.EnumRailDirection)state.getValue(SHAPE)).getMetadata(); } protected BlockState createBlockState() { return new BlockState(this, new IProperty[] { SHAPE, PART }); } public boolean isOpaqueCube() { return false; } /** * If this block doesn't render as an ordinary block it will return False (examples: signs, buttons, stairs, etc) */ public boolean renderAsNormalBlock() { return false; } public int getRenderBlockPass() { return 1; } protected void onNeighborChangedInternal(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Block neighborBlock) { //whenever the blocks around it change } public static enum EnumPartType implements IStringSerializable { MIDDLE("middle"), LEFT("left"), RIGHT("right"); private final String name; private EnumPartType(String name) { this.name = name; } public String toString() { return this.name; } public String getName() { return this.name; } } }

right now im just testing the north_south and east_west directions, so it should not be that the blockstates are missing

sorry about that, the problem is that no matter what I do, the texture comes up as the unknown purple checkerboard

I have these 3 json files to tell my block how to work with the given states: railControlBlock.json (blockstate): { "variants": { "normal": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock" }, "part=middle,shape=north_south": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock" }, "shape=ascending_east": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock", "y": 90 }, "shape=ascending_west": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock", "y": 90 }, "shape=ascending_north": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock" }, "shape=ascending_south": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock" }, "part=middle,shape=east_west": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock", "y": 90 }, "part=middle,shape=south_east": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock" }, "part=middle,shape=south_west": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock", "y": 90 }, "part=middle,shape=north_west": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock", "y": 180 }, "part=middle,shape=north_east": { "model": "generic:railControlBlock", "y": 270 } } } controlRail.json (block model): { "__comment": "Model generated using MrCrayfish's Model Creator (http://mrcrayfish.com/modelcreator/)", "textures": { "particle": "generic:blocks/railControlBlock", "0": "generic:blocks/railControlBlock" }, "elements": [ { "name": "rail bottom", "from": [ 0.0, 0.0, 13.0 ], "to": [ 16.0, 1.0, 15.0 ], "faces": { "north": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 12.0, 11.0 ] }, "east": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 5.0, 13.0, 6.0 ] }, "south": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 12.0, 6.0, 13.0, 5.0 ] }, "west": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 13.0, 10.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] }, "up": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 9.0, 13.0, 10.0 ] }, "down": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 13.0, 11.0 ] } } }, { "name": "rail bottom", "from": [ 0.0, 0.0, 9.0 ], "to": [ 16.0, 1.0, 11.0 ], "faces": { "north": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 12.0, 11.0 ] }, "east": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 5.0, 13.0, 6.0 ] }, "south": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 12.0, 6.0, 13.0, 5.0 ] }, "west": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 13.0, 10.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] }, "up": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 9.0, 13.0, 10.0 ] }, "down": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 13.0, 11.0 ] } } }, { "name": "rail bottom", "from": [ 0.0, 0.0, 5.0 ], "to": [ 16.0, 1.0, 7.0 ], "faces": { "north": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 12.0, 11.0 ] }, "east": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 5.0, 13.0, 6.0 ] }, "south": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 12.0, 6.0, 13.0, 5.0 ] }, "west": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 13.0, 10.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] }, "up": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 9.0, 13.0, 10.0 ] }, "down": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 13.0, 11.0 ] } } }, { "name": "rail bottom", "from": [ 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ], "to": [ 16.0, 1.0, 3.0 ], "faces": { "north": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 12.0, 11.0 ] }, "east": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 5.0, 13.0, 6.0 ] }, "south": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 12.0, 6.0, 13.0, 5.0 ] }, "west": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 13.0, 10.0, 11.0, 11.0 ] }, "up": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 9.0, 13.0, 10.0 ] }, "down": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 11.0, 10.0, 13.0, 11.0 ] } } }, { "name": "Center Track", "from": [ 6.0, 1.0, 0.0 ], "to": [ 10.0, 2.0, 16.0 ], "faces": { "north": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 13.0, 6.0, 14.0, 7.0 ] }, "east": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 2.0, 8.0, 3.0, 9.0 ] }, "south": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 2.0, 8.0, 3.0, 9.0 ] }, "west": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 2.0, 5.0, 3.0, 6.0 ] }, "up": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 2.0, 0.0, 3.0, 16.0 ] }, "down": { "texture": "#0", "uv": [ 2.0, 0.0, 3.0, 16.0 ] } } } ] } controlRailBlock.json (block model pointer): { "parent": "generic:block/controlRail", "textures": { "rail": "generic:blocks/railControlBlock" } } any help?

How can I have nbt data specific to a block, I mean like if i place two of the same block, I want each to have its own nbt compound, the reason I am asking this is because I was able to pull it off, but both of the blocks would share the same nbt tag, how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

ok, I figured it out, you need to create a separate slider other than the default, then call it from there.

break; } //Packet code here //PacketDispatcher.sendPacketToServer(packet); //send packet } } Calling the new Slider works like this: create a new GuiSliderFixed in the GUI code ---> example: ---> GuiSliderFixed mySlider = new GuiSliderFixed(); set the Parameters to this (int id, int x, int y, String label, float statingValue, float maxValue, float minValue) ---> example: ---> GuiSliderFixed mySlider = new GuiSliderFixed(3, width / 2 - 75, height / 3, "MPH ", 1.0F, 100.0F, 1.0F); add it to buttonList ---> example ---> buttonList.add(mySlider); Hope This Helps!

ok i get that, but can you ellaborate on what to put, I can't figure out what goes where in all the parameters

I recently started working on a mod and I ran into a GUI problem, I can;t figure out how to get a slider in my GUI, many things online say to use a controlList but I says its not there when i use this.controlList.add(); So can someone give me a slider code and how to get it working. Thanks!
