How do I generate blocks like clay

I just realized I commented out "WorldGenLithium worldGen = new WorldGenLithium();"

 

That would do it.

Ok, one last problem

 

If I define corX and corZ like this:

corX = chunkX*16;
corZ = chunkZ*16;

 

Then the block only generates at x:0 of that chunk and z:0 of that chunk.

Is there a way to cover up the whole chunk?

 

BTW, here's my code:

You would have to loop through the 16 variations on x and z.  Best bet is to pick a spot inside the chunk (add that value to those two lines) and when you find clay, then loop across x and z.

I played with the code a bit and eventually I got to this:

	public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        int blockID;
        int corX;
        int corZ;
            for(int corY=0;corY < 64 && corY > 48; corY++) {
            	for (int corX2=0;corX2 <= 16; corX2++){
            		for (int corZ2=0;corZ2 <= 16; corZ2++){
            				corX = chunkX*16 + corX2;
            				corZ = chunkZ*16 + corZ2;
                			blockID = world.getBlockId(corX, corY, corZ);
                			if(blockID == Block.blockClay.blockID) {
                			world.setBlock(corX, corY, corZ, Elementum.lithiumClay.blockID);
                			}
            			}
            		}
   		}
    }

 

But that bloody thing still won't generate

[Draco18s]

for(int corY=0;corY < 64 && corY > 48; corY++) {  //you have a problem here.

[Jeerdus]

May I ask what's the problem?

[Draco18s]

What happens on the first loop?

[Jeerdus]

It checks the Y axis.

[Draco18s]

You're being too vague.  Run through that loop, use a piece of paper to track variables if you have to, what is it actually doing?

[Jeerdus]

Hmm... strange...

I deleted the

&& corY > 48

bit from the

for(int corY=0;corY < 64 && corY > 48; corY++)

and it seems that it worked.

Anyway, thanks for the help

[Draco18s]

It's not strange at all.

 

Not.

 

At.

 

All.

[Mazetar]

Try as Draco said to write down what happens on paper and it will be quite easy to see what happened and why

 

It's important that you understand it, as for loops and such logic is fundamental to programming
