In your Block Class don't return 24 for "getRenderType()" but "RenderKhufuCauldron.renderID" Then add this to your RenderKhufuCauldron class: public static final int renderID = RenderingRegistry.getNextAvailableRenderId(); This will get a free renderID for the renderer and the "getRenderType()" in your Block Class will return it as the render for your block.

Awesome! Another cool thing would be to stop drawing half on the way so you could make like a bowl or something I think this should go into the tutorial section of the wiki, so more people can play around with it…

Thank you a lot, I am going to try this right now You are probably right, but it is cool anyways...and if you use them in the right spots and not to often I think you could create some cool looking blocks

Yes, but I don't think you can stack the circles on top of each other to get a sphere, since they don't have any height. And you're right, if it is possible, it would generate way to much lag I found them under org.lwjgl.util.glu.Sphere , however I didn't manage to get any result in-game with them yet…

Hey, Thank you ! I extended your code a bit and got it working for a simple circle: Here is the Code: Here is what it gives me: It renders only from one side and is just a circle and no sphere, but I think this could get something Thank you, Max

Thanks for your reply! If you mean doing it like Mojang does it with the Dragon-Egg, by just adding many small boxes in a roundish shape, no. I mean making a perfect sphere without any edges

Hello all, I don't have that much experience with rendering (rendering a few simple custom models is all I have done so far), but I wanted to know weather it is possible to render Spheres, Parts of Spheres, Cylinders and all that cool stuff in minecraft. Now, because you practically can do anything in minecraft/java I am sure it is, but what would be necessary to do it ? Thanks, Max

Oh, thats why... I was wondering why 3.3 wasn't showing in terminal...I changed it to 2.7.3, now it displays the correct version number. And most important, Setting up Forge WORKED !! Thanks a lot man !!! :D

I updated Python to 3.3.0, It still doesn't work. Maybe I screwed up my computer But I wonder why it worked in 1.4.2 then ? Anyway, I'm going to try and do some standard repairing and cleaning out my hdd now, maybe there is just something wrong there. Thanks, Max

First of all, thank you for the answer Lex! Well, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, The Terminal says it's Python 2.6.1. I'll look if there's an update available for my OS, update, and try it again

Hi All, I'm trying to install forge for my MCP on 1.4.4(it is updated, right?), I want to update my mod. On 1.4.2 everything worked just fine, but now, when running install.SH (I'm on a Mac) I get this error: As of now, I'm using the latest version of forge (6.3.0.372) and I also completely reinstalled MCP a couple of times, tried redownloading forge and so on. I'm getting a fresh minecraft.jar by creating a clean instance in MultiMC, and the server.jar is also fresh from minecraft.net. I know there are plenty of similar bug reports, I tried looking through all of them before posting, but none of the error-logs seem to have similar errors. Help is much appreciated Thanks, Max

MoreBlockz This mod just adds some nice textures to minecraft, for building and stuff. I'm always trying to add more, so please make suggestions! I know this is nothing too fancy, but I'm fairly new to modding, and I thought, why not share it ? Currently this mod adds 15 new Blocks, 12 new Slabs, 2 new Items and is using 9 BlockID's and 2 ItemID's (standard 501-509 and 5001-5002). So here are the Blocks in Overview: Special Blocks: Recipes: Here is the current config, so you get an idea of the BlockID's: Download and Install Just download it and put it in the mods folder, of course with forge installed. You can also install it on the FTB-Pack, it just changes the ID's http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47049865/MC/MoreBlockz/Maexx_MoreBlockzv05.zip Also, here is the Minecraft Forums Post: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1542556-142forgesmp-more-blockz-mod/#entry18847017 Have fun with it! Ask any questions in the comments, and please make suggestions on how to improve this mod(better recipes, different textures, more blocks etc.)!

THANK YOU, that fixed the problem! And it makes perfect sense, too Thank you so much again

First, thank you for the answer! I added shouldSideBeRendered with just 'return true', but it didn't render.

Hello All, I am currently making a mod which adds a couple of new blocks with nice textures to Minecraft, and everything was pretty easy to do until I added halfslabs for the custom Blocks. The slabs show correctly in their "normal" bottom position and as double-slabs aswell, however when I place a top-slab the texture does not show. Here is a screenshot: Here is the code of the slab class: public class BlockConcreteSlab extends BlockHalfSlab { public BlockConcreteSlab(int par1, boolean slabtype) { super(par1, slabtype, Material.rock); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock); this.setRequiresSelfNotify();//MultiBlock this.setLightOpacity(0);//Fixes most of the Halfslab lightning bugs } /* * The path to the texture file set as a string in CommonProxy */ public String getTextureFile(){ return CommonProxyMoreBlockz.TexturesPNG; } /* * The Texture of the Metadata Block starts at 0 and goes up to the value of the current Metadata */ public int getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(int side, int metadata) { return 0 + metadata; } /** * Returns the ID of the items to drop on destruction. */ public int idDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3) { return MoreBlockz.blockconcretesingleslab.blockID; } /* * Drops the right metadata */ public int damageDropped(int metadata) { return metadata; } /* * Makes HalfSlabs DoubleSlabs if they have the same BlockID and Metadata as the one you try to place down. */ public void onBlockPlacedBy(World par1World, int x, int y, int z, EntityLiving par5EntityLiving){ if(par1World.getBlockId(x, y - 1, z) == MoreBlockz.blockconcretesingleslab.blockID){ int metadata = par1World.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) & 7; if(par1World.getBlockMetadata(x, y-1, z) == metadata ){ par1World.setBlockWithNotify(x, y, z, 0); //sets the block below to 0 par1World.setBlockAndMetadataWithNotify(x, y - 1, z, MoreBlockz.blockconcretedoubleslab.blockID, metadata); //makes the slab a double-slab of the same metadata type } } } /** * Returns an item stack containing a single instance of the current block type. 'par1' is the block's subtype/damage * and is ignored for blocks which do not support subtypes. Blocks which cannot be harvested should return null. */ protected ItemStack createStackedBlock(int par1) { return new ItemStack(MoreBlockz.blockconcretesingleslab.blockID, 2, par1 & 7); } /* * Needs to be there because of BlockHalfSlab.class, is not used */ @Override public String getFullSlabName(int var1) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return null; } @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) /** * Takes a block ID, returns true if it's the same as the ID for a stone or wooden single slab. */ private static boolean isBlockSingleSlab(int par0) { return par0 == MoreBlockz.blockconcretesingleslab.blockID; } /* * Single Slabs are shown in creative, but not double ones */ @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public void getSubBlocks(int par1, CreativeTabs par2CreativeTabs, List par3List) { if (par1 != MoreBlockz.blockconcretedoubleslab.blockID){ for (int var4=0; var4<8;++var4) { //change number after 4< for more metadata blocks par3List.add(new ItemStack(par1, 1, var4)); } } } } It's probably a pretty simple fix, but I can't figure it out. Thanks, Max
