Hey guys, it's me again with another crazy question. How can I make a block with more than 16 metadatas(maybe around 100 metadatas). I know that a regular block can only have 16 metadatas and that I need a tile entity to make more of them. So can somebody help me with that?

I did but can someone help me? :/

 

Heres some info on blocks which also mentions TE's and Metadata.

http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/blocks.html

Btw that blog is one of the most awesome resources written on the inner workings of minecraft!

 

 

Now that being said, you would have to store whatever you want to store inside the TileEntity ang get it from the TE when it's time to do so. For me it sounds like you will need a custom renderer for your TE, either a TESR or an ISBRH. Tutorials for Both can be found on the forge wiki. I recommend the TESR(Tile Entity Special Renderer), there you grab the TileEntity and get the texture from it.

 

You should be able to find the tutorial on get your block to render normaly using an TESR, then adjust it to get the texture from a field inside the TileEntity.

 

If you are unable to do so, then I would suggest that you look into how TileEntities work by looking into exisitng TileEntities and articles about them. Also reading more up on OOP may be of use.

 

If you guys dont get it.. then well ya.. try harder...

      I am having some issues starting an RLCraft server on a minimal install of Debian 12. I have Java installed and I'm able to start the vanilla Minecraft server jar no problem and people can join and play without any issues, as soon as I try to create a new directory with the Forge jar the initial install with the INSTALLER jar works when I use the java command with the --installServer flag, but as soon as I try to start the server using the forge jar that is NOT labelled with installer I get the following error: A problem occurred running the Server launcher.java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException         at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)         at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:77)         at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)         at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:569)         at net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.ServerLaunchWrapper.run(ServerLaunchWrapper.java:70)         at net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.ServerLaunchWrapper.main(ServerLaunchWrapper.java:34) Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader cannot be cast to class java.net.URLClassLoader (jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader and java.net.URLClassLoader are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')         at net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch.<init>(Launch.java:34)         at net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch.main(Launch.java:28)         ... 6 more   I have tried using newer versions of Java directly from Oracle as well. Has anybody been successful in starting and running a RLCraft server from the terminal on a Linux machine? I cannot figure out why it doesn't want to work but the vanilla jar works without issue. Thank you in advance!

      1.21 Displaying a Mana Bar

      By RetroBuzz · Posted

      This is my latest attempt :  public class ManaScreen extends Screen { Mana mana = new Mana(); boolean removeManaBar = false; ResourceLocation manaBar = ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(RSGArmoury.MOD_ID, "/textures/block/spawnable_arena_wall.png"); public ManaScreen() { super(Component.literal("Mana")); } @Override protected void init() { super.init(); Minecraft.getInstance().setScreen(this); } @Override public boolean isPauseScreen() { return false; } @Override public void render(GuiGraphics pGuiGraphics, int pMouseX, int pMouseY, float pPartialTick) { pGuiGraphics.blit(manaBar, 10, -10, 0, 0, mana.getMana(), 10, mana.getMana(), 10); if (removeManaBar) { this.onClose(); return; } super.render(pGuiGraphics, pMouseX, pMouseY, pPartialTick); } public void addManaBar() { removeManaBar = false; Minecraft.getInstance().setScreen(new ManaScreen()); } public boolean removeManaBar() { return removeManaBar = true; } }
