Custom Sapling growing into a Custom Tree [Solved]

[SilasOtoko]

I'm currently trying to make my custom sapling grow into my custom tree. I copied over the files from the vanilla sapling class, but I'm not sure how to get around the biome specific tree growth. When I use bone meal on my sapling, it changes into a regular oak tree. Any help would be appreciated!

Don't call super.updateTick().

You don't want the superclass to be growing things on top of you.

 

getBlockMetaData() probably does not behave as you would expect.

If you are expecting a certain value, it will probably not be there.

(it has never worked for me)

 

 

[GotoLink]

Extends BlockSapling.

Do not change updateTick.

[SilasOtoko]

Alright, I extended the BlockSapling class, but now my saplings appear as regular oak saplings that grow into my custom tree. So I need to make the class choose my custom texture. Also, if anyone has any input on how I can clean up this code to get rid of the parts I don't need I would appreciate it.

[GotoLink]

Well basically, remove everything.

Then add whatever changes you want to do. Texture(s) for example.

[SilasOtoko]

Yay! I got it to work! Thanks GoToLink for the help! The tip on extending BlockSapling helped tremendously! I was able to figure it out after that by commenting out all the different parts until I better understood what each part did. I will post the code now for anyone who is curious about making their own.
