Cobalt Ore Class(My Block)

 

 

package ca;

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

 

public class CobaltOre extends Block{

 

public CobaltOre(int id, Material Material) {

super(id, Material);

}

 

 

 

public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)

    {

        this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("customarmor:CobaltOre");

    }

}

 

 

You've overloaded your naming scheme.  It can't tell the difference between CobaltBlock and CobaltBlock.

(One of those is a class, the other is an instance of that class, which is which?)

How would i fix it by renaming one?

Rename the instance variable.  That would fix it.

I don't need to tell you how to fix it, because doing so would make me look patronizing.

 

 

Select the variable, hit delete, type cobaltBlock with a lower case C, now rename allll the other ones to match....

 

Still did not fix my problem

new WorldGenMinable(CobaltOre.blockID, 10)

 

And what's that?

(new WorldGenMinable(ca.cobaltOre.blockID, 10)).generate(world, rand,

randPosX, randPosY, randPosZ);

if i under stood you correctly if i didnt im sorry

That should be correct.

i have that but i get the error : Cannot Make a static reference to a non-static field

Then you haven't found all of them.

Go To the tutorial for the basics it requires that. but it also says you could learn it along the way. so im learning it along the way

Do you or do you not know what "a static reference" and a "a non-static field" are?

Thanks Draco. And the way you're doing it is great . I just want to say, if you get any compile time errors, this is Java, and if you google it you'll most certainly find a solution. These solutions don't have to be Minecraft related in any way off course.

possibly the fact that this is not static:

 

//Block Details

           

              //Cobalt

No Static Here --->    final Block CobaltBlock = new CobaltBlock(500, Material.iron)

Thanks you i fixed to thanks to none of you. fuck the forge community its full of people who try to murder people who help

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.

 

Did you finally name your variable something other than the same name as your class?  And start referencing that variable properly?

now its public static void cobaltOre = new CobaltOre blah blah blah. it works now.
