Saving Icons with tileentity


Keiji Tadashi

Recommended Posts

I am trying to make a block that has a texture on one side that updates if your right click the block while you have a block in you hand. But I want to have it update only that one block. Right now it is updating all those blocks in the world and when logging restarting minecraft the are back to the old texture again. I know I have to use tileenities for this but I don't know what how you save or load an icon. I am not a very experienced programmer or modder.

 

Here is the code that changes the texture when you right click on it. (sorry but 'spoiler' and 'insert code' don't seem to work)

 

public boolean onBlockActivated (World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player,

int metadata, float a, float b, float c) {

TileEntity te = world.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);

if (player.getHeldItem() == null){ return super.onBlockActivated(world, x, y, z, player, metadata, a, b, c); }

else if (player.getHeldItem().getItem() instanceof ItemBlock) {

camouflageIcon = player.getHeldItem().getIconIndex();

return true;

}

else { return super.onBlockActivated(world, x, y, z, player, metadata, a, b, c); }

}

Rather than getting the icon index, how about you getIcon() ?

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.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Know what it's not undefined for?

 

ItemStack.getItem().getIcon()

    • I am not using hardcoded recipes, I'm using Vanilla's already existing code for leather armor dying. (via extending and implementing DyeableArmorItem / DyeableLeatherItem respectively) I have actually figured out that it's something to do with registering item colors to the ItemColors instance, but I'm trying to figure out where exactly in my mod's code I would be placing a call to the required event handler. Unfortunately the tutorial is criminally undescriptive. The most I've found is that it has to be done during client initialization. I'm currently trying to do the necessary setup via hijacking the item registry since trying to modify the item classes directly (via using SubscribeEvent in the item's constructor didn't work. Class so far: // mrrp mrow - mcmod item painter v1.0 - catzrule ch package catzadvitems.init; import net.minecraft.client.color.item.ItemColors; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ObjectHolder; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ColorHandlerEvent; import catzadvitems.item.DyeableWoolArmorItem; @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD) public class Painter { @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_chestplate") public static final Item W_CHEST = null; @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_leggings") public static final Item W_LEGS = null; @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_boots") public static final Item W_SOCKS = null; public Painter() { // left blank, idk if forge throws a fit if constructors are missing, not taking the chance of it happening. } @SubscribeEvent public static void init(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { new Painter(); } @Mod.EventBusSubscriber private static class ForgeBusEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void registerItemColors(ColorHandlerEvent.Item event) { ItemColors col = event.getItemColors(); col.register(DyeableUnderArmorItem::getItemDyedColor, W_CHEST, W_LEGS, W_SOCKS); //placeholder for other dye-able items here later.. } } } (for those wondering, i couldn't think of a creative wool helmet name)
    • nvm found out it was because i had create h and not f
    • Maybe there's something happening in the 'leather armor + dye' recipe itself that would be updating the held item texture?
    • @SubscribeEvent public static void onRenderPlayer(RenderPlayerEvent.Pre e) { e.setCanceled(true); model.renderToBuffer(e.getPoseStack(), pBuffer, e.getPackedLight(), 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f); //ToaPlayerRenderer.render(); } Since getting the render method from a separate class is proving to be bit of a brick wall for me (but seems to be the solution in older versions of minecraft/forge) I've decided to try and pursue using the renderToBuffer method directly from the model itself. I've tried this route before but can't figure out what variables to feed it for the vertexConsumer and still can't seem to figure it out; if this is even a path to pursue.  The vanilla model files do not include any form of render methods, and seem to be fully constructed from their layer definitions? Their renderer files seem to take their layers which are used by the render method in the vanilla MobRenderer class. But for modded entities we @Override this function and don't have to feed the method variables because of that? I assume that the render method in the extended renderer takes the layer definitions from the renderer classes which take those from the model files. Or maybe instead of trying to use a render method I should be calling the super from the renderer like   new ToaPlayerRenderer(context, false); Except I'm not sure what I would provide for context? There's a context method in the vanilla EntityRendererProvider class which doesn't look especially helpful. I've been trying something like <e.getEntity(), model<e.getEntity()>> since that generally seems to be what is provided to the renderers for context, but I don't know if it's THE context I'm looking for? Especially since the method being called doesn't want to take this or variations of this.   In short; I feel like I'm super super close but I have to be missing something obvious? Maybe this insane inane ramble post will provide some insight into this puzzle?
