Hello,

 

I'm trying to make a Block where you can put in another Block and the Block has the texture of that block. But i have 2 questions.

How can i convert a ItemStack to a Block? How can i check if it's a block or a item?

The first one i don't know, but on the second one you can use

if(your_itemstack instanceof Block)
{
     //YOUR CODE
}

 

for blocks, and

if(your_itemstack instanceof Item)
{
     //YOUR CODE
}

for items.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your answer! But i still don't know how to get the texture of another block for my block. Like the Drawbridge from Tinkers Construct.

@diesieben07 that could be, i wasn't sure if it was that excactly, but i knew that it was something like that

What do you mean with " a Block where you can put in another Block" ?

Is there an inventory ?

Hello,

 

Yes the Block has an inventory.

 

@diesieben07

Do you mean this:

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public Icon getIcon(int side, int metadata)

{

return Block.thatBlock.getIcon(side, metadata);

}

 

EDIT: Ok, tested that with the texture and it works perfectly, thanks! diesieben07 do you come from germany?
