Does anyone know how to make a block so that some sides is textured differently (ex: Crafting table, furnace, piston)?

Here's the related coding.

 

Mod file:

package vgt.material_paint;

import vgt.material_paint.block.VGTBlockSketchingTable;
import vgt.material_paint.proxy.ProxyCommon;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.stats.Achievement;
import net.minecraft.stats.AchievementList;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.SidedProxy;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

@Mod(
	modid = VGTmod_MaterialPaint.MODID,
	version = VGTmod_MaterialPaint.VERSION)
public class VGTmod_MaterialPaint
{
    public static final String MODID = "vgt_materialpaint";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    
    @SidedProxy(
    clientSide = "vgt.material_paint.proxy.ProxyClient",
    serverSide = "vgt.material_paint.proxy.ProxyCommon")
    public static ProxyCommon proxy;
    
    // Create the 'Sketching Table' block
    public static final Block sketchingTable = new VGTBlockSketchingTable(500, Material.wood).setStepSound(Block.soundTypeWood).setHardness(3.0F).setResistance(2.5F).setBlockName("sketchingTable").setBlockTextureName("vgt_materialpaint:sketchTable");
    
    // Create the 'Drawn to Life' achievement
    public static final Achievement drawnToLife = new Achievement("Drawn to Life", "Craft a sketching table.", -1, 2, sketchingTable, AchievementList.buildWorkBench);
    
    @EventHandler
    public void Preinit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
    	// Register 'Sketching Table' block
    	GameRegistry.registerBlock(sketchingTable, "Sketching Table");
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
    	// Create recipe for 'Sketching Table'
    	GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(new ItemStack(sketchingTable), new Object[]{
    		"PPP","WDW","WSW", 'P',Items.paper,'W',Blocks.planks,'D',Items.diamond,'S',Items.stick
    	});
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){
    	proxy.registerRenderers();
    }
}

 

Block file:

package vgt.material_paint.block;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

public class VGTBlockSketchingTable extends Block{
public VGTBlockSketchingTable(int id, Material material) {
	super(material);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDecorations);
}
}

 

Also, I'm positive my /assets/{domain}/textures/blocks directory is in the correct spot.

If you don't know how to do something that's already in vanilla, look at the vanilla code.

I would have done that already, but I don't know where to view the source code. It's not possible in this version of forge.

Or look at the source for an old version of Minecraft.

I did what you said, diesieben0, but I don't know how to view the source classes.

Nevermind, I found them.

If you're in eclipse and you see the name of a class, you can either right click on it and click open declaration, or control click on the name itself. Both will bring you to the class.

To store your icons use an array of how many textures you want, so for example

 

 

 

public IIcon[] icons = new IIcon[3]; For 3 Textures, e.g: Top, Bottom, and One for all sides

 

 

 

To register your textures:

 

 

 

@Override

public void func_149651_a(IIconRegister i)

{

icons[0] = i.registerIcon("modid:block_top");

                icons[1] = i.registerIcon("modid:block_bottom");

                icons[2] = i.registerIcon("modid:block_sides");

}

 

 

 

And to declare them so it works ingame:

 

 

 

@Override

public IIcon func_149673_e(IBlockAccess block, int x, int y, int z, int side)

{

        switch(side)

        {

            case 0 : return icons[0]; //Top

            case 1 : return icons[1]; //Bottom

            default : return icons[2]; //Sides

        }

}

 

//Switch switches depending on what case;

//Case is basically saying if(side == 0);

// If the case is 0 then return the top texture

// If the case is 1 then return the bottom texture

// Default basically says else{}

// So if it is not 0 or 1, then return the side texture.

// 0 is top, 1 is bottom, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 4 of the sides, you can figure out what is what easily enoguh.

 

 

 

Thanks for the replies, but I got it figured out now.
