Hey, I just started modding (looks at watch) 8 hours ago, and I've run into a weird problem.

 

I'm making a decay mod, and I've overridden the BlockWood class with a custom class. The issue is: all wood-type blocks such as stairs and slabs have the wrong texture.

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    private Icon[] iconArray;

    public BlockCustomWood()
    {
    	super(5);
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
        needsRandomTick = true;  
        setBurnProperties(5, 5, 20);

    	if (par1World.isRaining())
    	{
    		if (par5Random.nextInt(lethman.DecayMod.Generic.WoodInRain) == 0 && par1World.canBlockSeeTheSky(x, y + 1, z))
    		{
    			par1World.setBlock(x, y, z, lethman.DecayMod.Generic.rottenWoodID
    					, par1World.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z), 2);
    		}
    	}
    	
    	if (par1World.getBlockMaterial(x, y-1, z) == Material.water |
    			par1World.getBlockMaterial(x, y + 1, z) == Material.water |
    			par1World.getBlockMaterial(x - 1, y, z) == Material.water |

    	    			par1World.setBlock(x, y, z, 
    	    					lethman.DecayMod.Generic.rottenWoodID,

    			}

    par1World.scheduleBlockUpdate(x, y, z, this.blockID, this.tickRate(par1World));
}
}

 

And here's a pic:

 

I'm new to using other people's API's, and I rarely ever code in java. Any way someone could try to point out any mistakes?

 

Thanks

BlockWood already contains texture code.

If you don't want to change it, don't use it into your class.

So just tear out all the texture related stuff? 

 

...Oops. Okay, so tearing out the texture related stuff means that my custom blocks use the missing texture and all other blocks are still messed... Could it possibly be the fact that I'm replacing id 5 in block.blockList with my custom class?

 

Block.blocksList[5] = null;   

                Block wood = new BlockCustomWood();
                LanguageRegistry.addName(wood, "Wood");  
                GameRegistry.registerBlock(wood, CustomWoodItemBlock.class); 
                MinecraftForge.setBlockHarvestLevel(wood, "axe", 0);  

Yes, don't do this.

Use a new id.

Allright, so how can I replace all blocks with block ID 5 with a block with a new ID? (Again, new to Forge, and modding and such) 

First, check that your new block works as intended. (obviously you need to initialize it the same way as Mojang, if you don't want to change that)

Then if that is what you want, you can register recipes with your block as a input or output to override vanilla ones.

You can't change the blocks into the blockList because they are "final".

gotchya...

 

Is there any way to quickly replace all recipes using planks with my planks? Or do I manually have to re-add each recipe using planks. Sorry for the noobish questions. I really have no excuse...

You can instead register a CraftingHandler (implements ICraftingHandler) that will enable you to change the planks to your custom ones when they are crafted.

You could use the ore dictionary. Try removing the vanilla wood and adding your own instead...

Hmm. The craftingHandler looks like an awesome bit of code. But I'm not sure on how to implement it. I can replace the recipes that output default planks with my planks, but then my planks can't do anything, like make chests. Here's the code so far:

		if(item.itemID == lethman.DecayMod.Generic.newWoodID){
		item.itemID = Block.planks.blockID;

		if (lethman.DecayMod.Generic.DebugLog)
			System.out.println("Overrode custom planks.");
		return;
		}		

	if(item.itemID == Block.planks.blockID){
		item.itemID = lethman.DecayMod.Generic.newWoodID;

		if (lethman.DecayMod.Generic.DebugLog)
			System.out.println("Overrode generic planks.");
		return;
		}	

 

Any good articles or something on how to use it?

OOOHHHhhhhKay.So. I'm using both the OreDictionary and CraftingHandlers. It works awesome, but shift-clicking the recipe balls things up. Here's in the mod.load():

                GameRegistry.registerCraftingHandler(new PlankCraftingHandler());
                OreDictionary.registerOre("plankWood", wood);    

 

and PlankCraftingHandler():

 

		
	if(item.itemID == Block.planks.blockID){
		item.itemID = lethman.DecayMod.Generic.newWoodID;

		if (lethman.DecayMod.Generic.DebugLog)
			System.out.println("Overrode generic planks.");
		}	

 

How should I fix shift-clicking?

Give a proper description of your shift-click issue if you want some help

 

Maybe you should open a new thread too.

Block.blocksList[5] = null;   

                Block wood = new BlockCustomWood();
                LanguageRegistry.addName(wood, "Wood");  
                GameRegistry.registerBlock(wood, CustomWoodItemBlock.class); 
                MinecraftForge.setBlockHarvestLevel(wood, "axe", 0);  

 

well actually, im not saying you should do this, but essentially i have a super small mod that changes the behavior of wood (so that when you break 1 wood block all other above break also) and this is how i did it.  maybe in your case its a bad idea but depending on the goal its doable

Aight, so the issue is when crafting just one item, it works and my new planks are returned. Shift clicking though, causes it to return the items as normal planks.
