[1.7.2][SOLVED] Getting Block References (*NOT* from World)


JaredBGreat

Recommended Posts

I found figuring out how to place a block, in theory, pretty easy, but that leaves a real problem.  How do I get a reference to a block.  I'm building structures algorithmically so I don't need to get a block at (x,y,z) (well, for TileEntities I do, but in general I don't).  I need to be able to start with the block in code and pass it to the world.func_147446_b(x, y, z, block, a, b) method.  In 1.6 and 1.5 I just used one of the private static block variable from the Block class, but I don't see anything quite like that now.  Does anyone know yet how get a block?  Is there a method to get one by name / a String?  Is there a list of block objects somewhere else?  Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it is physically possible to get a block from world, without using world. It seems that you are going to have to use world. What the method is temporarily named to however... Well... Have fun figuring that out. xD I haven't looked at 1.7 for that reason. Once they finish de-obfuscation it will make life much easier.

If you mean there's a list of blocks or a method to get blocks by name or such in world this is OK -- just have to dig into world and look at functions that return a type Block.

 

If you mean you have to get block references from the world, by copying one from the map that's going really mess things up for any mod that builds structure.  But if that's the case it begs the question, "How does the vanilla world gen get its blocks to build from to begin with?"  Maybe when I have time I snoop around the world generator and its block placement, too, to see if there is any hint on how to get a block.

 

Or is there a misunderstanding? -- I don't want to get a block that already exists in the world, I want to get a kind / type of block so I can place one in the world.  For example, get stoneBrick in general and build a room from it.

 

Call me lazy if you like, but I was really hoping someone had figured it out. OTOH, if I figure out how to do this in 1.7.2 first then I guess I'll earn some bragging rights (though I'd still trade them in to save the time).  It was so easy in 1.6.4  :(

    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
