Dark_but_Good

Thanks for you help I should be able to figure the rest out now, to be honest some errors I make are me just being dumb but a lot is due to being inexperienced with Java, I am learning slowly but not as much as I would have thought I would. Most of the time I learn things like mathematics better if I learn it though application, I like to see the practical out come of something as usually I get lost in the abstract without it. For example learning about graphs made more sense to me with a goal in mind as in lets me associate the skills with something concrete. Java has not been such a case, I'm just failing my way though it at this point instead of learning anything, the only thing left to do at this point is to be honest, admit defeat for now and learn another way. It hurts to say it like that but it's true and as Adam Savage says failure is always an option, lessons have been learned and it's time to back away form this project. Thanks for helping me see this, you shouldn't have to help me for awhile.

Ok I think I am right in saying that PROPERTY needs to be PROPERTYFACING but I can't seem to figure out what defaultValue needs to be changed to, I have tried to copy the facings from the blockstates and name it HORIZONTAL and NORTH none of them work.

Strange because whats me to among other things add a void to it. I work on it a bit Never mind solved that problem but a new problem has a risen, eclipse wants me to change PROPERTY and defaultValue. I assume that this needs to be changed to facing and the direction I want default respectively.

You never set the default state. To do so, use this line in your Block constructor: setDefaultState(getBlockState().getBaseState().withProperty(PROPERTY, defaultValue)); Do I add it in the block constructor in a particular place or will any where do? Also do I need to have a preface in front of it such as a public boolean?

Now that I have a good look at the crash report, it's hard to read it in eclipse there is clearly something wrong with my block states going to fiddle with it for a bit and see what happens

Yes, you get one in the console or in your eclipse working directory. Ah that's how you get it, I had no idea, thanks for letting me know.

1) I will look into removing the long decimals after I can 2 to stop happening. 2) Minecraft no longer loads, I should have been more clear sorry about that. 3) I will make the mod in 1.10 but I want to get the basic features of my down first before I start porting to new versions, this means play testing with other mods and the version that I play right now is 1.8.9 because haven't had the time to go though what mods I need to have and update. Minecraft no longer starts...how do we help if we do not have the crash report? When you run minecraft though eclipse when it stops working you don't get a crash report like when you fail to run minecraft though the launcher. I will try to find away around this.

I have added what I think is the necessary code but when I get eclipse to run client minecraft no longer load's, I feel like I'm missing something but don't know what I have updated my git hub it you want to have a look the update is under a new branch called patch-1.

I hope to rotate my block like a piston but frankly I will take what ever will work because I have tried to use the piston code and it hasn't worked. I don't want to update to 1.10.2 because I use mods that haven't updated yet and I want to play my mod to test it before I publish it.

Sorry Draco18s but that hasn't helped me, I've tried to use the example code you gave me and the code in the reference library but nothing has worked. However after having another look in the reference library I'm starting to think that it is my model that is to blame as I noticed that the dispenser has a separate model for rendering the block up and down. I may be worng about this but I think that the rotated elements in my model doesn't like to be orientated like a normal block, is this something that can happen or I'm still missing something?

Hello I am a first time mod maker and I am trying to make a custom model that get placed like a Dispenser, where the front of model faces the player when the block is placed. The model I am trying to orientable is fairly complicated with multiple elements at 45 degree angels, I have found a thread where someone has had the same problem as I am having now (http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=34695.0) and I have followed it's advice as best as possible but all I accomplished was make my block no longer render properly replacing it with black and purple. If anyone can show me what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it. Here is a link to my github page with the code before I tried to make my blocks orientable, the block you are looking for is called Underwater_Art_Deco. https://github.com/DarkbutGood/BetterWindows
