Hey guys.

 

What would be the best way for me to do the above?

 

I have a metadata-based rotation block; it can face one of four directions (N/E/S/W).

What I want to be able to do, is when it has redstone power, it places a block above. When the power is removed, it deletes that block and places one to the right.

 

I can do the "if meta is 1 place it here" parts etc just fine. What I'm having trouble with is actually changing between powered and unpowered. Do I need to change the metadata when I power it or anything? If so, how would I do that?

 

I dislike redstone -_-

Yes.  Use a bitflag (as metadata) to save its powered/unpowered state.

 

All you should need to do is check for power in the onNeighborBlockChanged function, if it has it, set its powered flag (if not, clear it) then schedule an updateTick (which is where the code you have should be already)

      Immediately forceloading chunks? [1.18.2]

      By JayZX535 · Posted

      That's basically what the failure does, my apologies for failing to specify.  It just tries again on the next tick until it detects the entities for that chunk are loaded, and then tries to load the entity.  From there it gets into different failure states depending on what goes wrong, but in short, if the entity fails to load once the entity list becomes available, the request is cleared and must be resubmitted by the end user.  There should be few cases where that actually happens. Yes, that is my understanding of forceloading.  That's why on a successful summon, it removes the forceload.  Otherwise it does just leave the chunks loaded long term. Thank you for your help, any knowledge is useful!  I don't often mess with forceloading and my prior experience is 1.16 so I'm also a bit out of my depth haha.

      I will have to do more research about 1.18 chunk loading. You were unclear about how your code manages with the entity load failure. If you simply used a loop, I suggest submitting a tick task to the next tick which does the same thing, checking if the entities are loaded and if so teleporting the right one else submitting another tick task etc. Also I think forceloading permanently force loads the chunk, and it only starts to unload when you make a subsequent call to mark the chunk as not forceloaded. I may be completely wrong, I dont know much about 1.18, most of my experience is 1.20. Good luck I hope you figure it out after all this time 😅
