public class Light extends Block {

 

public Light(int par1, Material par2Material) {

super(par1, par2Material);

 

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

this.setHardness(10.0F);

this.setResistance(10.0F);

this.setLightValue(15.0F);}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

@Override
    {
        return false;
    }

@Override
    public boolean renderAsNormalBlock()
    {
        return false;
    }

 

People will still bump into it and you will still be able to highlight it with the reticule.

 

If you want something that is truly not-there, take a look at this class:

ok i'll try in a second just sorting the camo light then i'll try to get my invisble light

[coolboy4531]

    @Override
    public boolean isOpaqueCube()
    {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean renderAsNormalBlock()
    {
        return false;
    }

 

EDIT:

Draco beat me to it

The float value you gives on this.setLightValue(); is not equal to the light value of the block.

 

The range is from 0.0F (0 light) to 1.0F (15 light)

Ok now I'm being really stupid so sorry for this but my lack of sleep over the last week is catching up. But a) where in the class does the override go b) can I get rid of the icon reg

These links give a bit of background you might find useful

In fact, most of the "Block" section might be of interest...

Yeah sleeps good Im just ammsomnic and only one thing helps me sleep so I'm tired a lot. So if I use glass to compare code and the links, I should be able to get this to work

[coolboy4531]

a) In your block...

b) You want to remove your textures?

[majesticmadman98]

is there anyway to change the light colours??

No.
