I have searched all over the forums and the internet and i have not found any tutorials on how to code a multiblock.

 

I want to create a multiblock that is made out of several different blocks and when it is fully built it will form into a techne model that i have.

Can anyone help me with this, im desperate for help.

I'm codding using multiBlocks and multiItems too and is hard to find anything without asking in forums. The Forge Wiki has a simple tutorial to get started, but it does not cover all you need to do such as Textures and Display names.

I created the methods below in my Mod Class for MultiBlocks and MultiItems' display Names :

 

 

public void registerMultiBlock(Block block, String unlocalizedName, String[] name) {

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(block, MetalItemBlock.class, unlocalizedName);

 

for (int id = 0; id < name.length; id++) {

 

ItemStack blockItemStack = new ItemStack(block, 1, id);

LanguageRegistry

.addName(blockItemStack, name[blockItemStack.getItemDamage()]);

 

}

}

 

public void registerMultiItemNames(Item item, String[] name) {

 

for (int id = 0; id < name.length; id++) {

 

ItemStack itemStack = new ItemStack(item, 1, id);

LanguageRegistry.addName(itemStack, name[itemStack.getItemDamage()]);

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

... and this method for a complex MultiItems names:

 

 

public void registerMultiItemMetalsNames(Item item, String[] ingotsNames,

String[] nuggetsNames, String[] dustsNames) {

 

for (int id = 0; id < ingotsNames.length + nuggetsNames.length

+ dustsNames.length; id++) {

 

if (id < ingotsNames.length) {

 

ItemStack itemStack = new ItemStack(item, 1, id);

LanguageRegistry.addName(itemStack,

ingotsNames[itemStack.getItemDamage()]);

 

} else if (id < ingotsNames.length + nuggetsNames.length) {

 

ItemStack itemStack = new ItemStack(item, 1, id);

LanguageRegistry.addName(itemStack,

nuggetsNames[itemStack.getItemDamage() - ingotsNames.length]);

 

} else {

 

ItemStack itemStack = new ItemStack(item, 1, id);

LanguageRegistry.addName(itemStack, dustsNames[itemStack.getItemDamage()

- ingotsNames.length - nuggetsNames.length]);

 

}

}

 

}

 

 

 

Currently, I'm learning how to add different Textures for subBlocks, as soon as I figure out how to do I'll post it here.

I think that isn't what he wanted, i think he wants something like the RailCraft tanks.

Sorry for my mistake

 

I found a good youtube tutorial series but I haven't watch the episode about Multiblock structures yet. If you want to check, here is the link:

I've already looked at those tutorials and he uses a program he created to code the multiblocks, however the programs download does not work .

Im trying to make a multiblock similar to railcraft coke ovens rather than tanks because mine is going to have a fixed shape and size, and as i said i want it to render a techne model when completed.
