After watching multiple outdated videos on making blocks, I managed to get myself and un-textured unnamed block. When I try using the updated format, it crashes with NullPointerException (I know what that means) despite the fact that almost nothing changed. I was wondering if someone could tell me the proper way to have the "int id, int texture, Material" thing in 1.6.4. I presume this isn't too complicatated, but is yet too much for a noob like me

Thank you

Can I see your code please?

Thank you!

Will do!

Beware, code for all of my files are present in this paste bin!

 

Thank you

public class BlockCompressedCobblestone extends Block{

public BlockCompressedCobblestone(int id, Material par2Material) {
	super(id, par2Material);
	this.setCreativeTab(furniturecraft.FCTab);
}
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister icon){
	this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon(furniturecraft.modid + ":" + "CompressedCobblestone");
}
}

That is my block code for my mod, and it is 1.6.4, and...

public Block setBlockName(String string) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

...indeed, it should not be there.

 

I uploaded a better version:

 

http://pastebin.com/xJByzQHD

This is for 1.6.4? Then, first off...

public void gameRegisters(){
                        GameRegistry.registerBlock(snowstormBlock);}    

                public void LanguageRegistry(){
                        LanguageRegistry.addName(snowstormBlock, "Blanket");
}

First, get rid of the "public void LanguageRegistry", "public void gameRegistry", "gameRegisters();", and the "languageRegisters();" but keep the "LanguageRegistry.addName(snowstormBlock, "Blanket");" and the

"GameRegistry.registerBlock(snowstormBlock);" there. Second, also in your main class file, "@Init" should be "@EventHandler" And third...

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, int texture, Material mat) {
                super(texture, Material.cloth);
                this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

Change that to...

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, int texture, Material mat) {
                super(id, texture, Material.cloth);
                this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

Hope I helped

Thanks! That solved soooooo many problems! But when I run it it, it crashes

That is weird. I'm sorry for asking for so much, but could I see your current code? Sorry if I'm being a pain, and thanks for your patience.

I figured it out(I hope)! Change this...

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, int texture, Material mat) {
                super(id, texture, Material.cloth);
                this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

To this!

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, int texture, Material mat) {
                super(id, texture, mat);
                this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

That should fix it...

EDIT: Wait, you should remove the "int texture" and the "texture" inside the "super(id, texture, mat);"

Should be like

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, Material mat) {
                super(id, mat);
                this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

You can register textures like

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister icon){
	this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon(YourModHere.modid + ":" + "YourBlocksTextureFileNameHere");
}

We're getting there! It's now calling on small mistakes!

Don't worry about being "a pain" I literally have just about nothing to do this week!

 

 

Lets see... you do have a problem here...

 public void registerIcons(IconRegister icon);{

Remove the ";"

And if THAT doesn't work, then I think I know why. I am familiar with forge 916, which is what I use, but you are using 953.

EDIT: Almost forgot,

public static final String modid = "Snowstorm";

Put that in your main mod file. Also in your main mod file,

Block snowstormBlock;

Should be

public static Block snowstormBlock;

But once again, we are using different forge versions, so I am unsure

 

Thank you so much! If all else fails, I'll get that version of forge.

So, after applying your suggestions, I fooled around with the code, and got it down to one problem.

Thanks!

public registerIcon;IconRegister icon;{

                this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon("Snowstorm:blanket");

 

 

@Override

public void registerIcons(IconRegister icon)

{

    this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon("snowstorm:blanket");

}

 

Should have come up with an error in eclipse...

public registerIcon;IconRegister icon;{

                this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon("Snowstorm:blanket");

 

Should have come up with an error in eclipse...

 

It did.

It still didn't work

same error or different?

same error

The following should work

 

public class BlockSnowstormBlock extends Block{
       
        public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, Material mat) {
        super(id, mat);
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
       }
       
      
      public registerIcon (IconRegister icon){
                this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon("Snowstorm:blanket");
        }
}

Well, it doesn't crash, but I can't find my block...

Change your registers to:

 

	GameRegistry.registerBlock(snowstormBlock, "snowstormBlock");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(snowstormBlock, "Blanket");

 

You should also give the block a unlocalized name

 

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, Material mat) {
        super(id, mat);
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
        this.setUnlocalizedName("snowtormBlock");
       }

Change your registers to:

 

	GameRegistry.registerBlock(snowstormBlock, "snowstormBlock");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(snowstormBlock, "Blanket");

 

You should also give the block a unlocalized name

 

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, Material mat) {
        super(id, mat);
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
        this.setUnlocalizedName("snowtormBlock");
       }

Yeah, that should work... But if it doesn't, then idk the problem.

Change your registers to:

 

	GameRegistry.registerBlock(snowstormBlock, "snowstormBlock");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(snowstormBlock, "Blanket");

 

You should also give the block a unlocalized name

 

public BlockSnowstormBlock(int id, Material mat) {
        super(id, mat);
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
        this.setUnlocalizedName("snowtormBlock");
       }

Haha!!! It works!!! One last thing, though, is that it doesn't show up in the creative menu, I have to use /give Player*** 500. Thank you sooooooooo much for all of everyone's support!

 

Current code:

 

 

package snowstorm;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Init;

    this.setUnlocalizedName("blanket")
   
  
public class BlockSnowstormBlock (IconRegister)
            thisblockIcon =icon.registerIcon("Snowstorm:blanket")
            

 

 

Never mind, I figured it out!!! It works!!! Thank you sooooo much to everyone, for every post helped me out. I cannot stress how important this is to me! This probably won't be the last you hear of me (hopefully in a good way!). Thank you!!!
