I am working on a mod that allows customizing of a tool with different modifiers, such as sugar for mining speed and so on. What would be the best way about going about registering these items so that I can use them, but not have to register a new Item for every single combination of the tool that is possible, because that seems incredibly inefficient. Here is the code I already have working: https://github.com/BURN447/DartcraftReloaded

I'm currently trying to use the vanilla textures that I'm going to then modify. However, I cannot get the model to texture, no matter what I'm doing with JSON. Whenever I place the seeds, I get a full, untextured block.

Here's all the related Model Files http://pastebin.com/RQf01VXQ

I cannot make sense of how vanilla textures the melon stem. From what I can see, The melon stems use only two texture files. Fully grown and connected. Am I missing a texture or am not understanding how the Melon texture works?

Not sure what It was. tried it again and it worked. thanks for the help! This should let me progress a little more

The problem that I am running into is that I cannot extend the BlockStem class, nor use it to declare new Stems in my Items Class. In this case I would have to write a new class basically copying the vanilla version. Right?

So from what I understand I need a BlockMelonStem type class and a BlockMelon class for each melon, and have that choose a side when it is fully grown?

So in my process of making a mod similar to magical crops, but with melons, I have ran into the problem of not being able to understand how to implement the melons themselves. I have both the Melon Block and Item created, but I cannot make sense of the vanilla code on how to make them grow using the BlockStem class. Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to make these grow, or help me understand it a little better?
