Help with updating to 1.7

[Mecblader]

I just tried to update to my mod from 1.6.4 to 1.7.4 and It was hit very hard. I don't know much about 1.7 yet and there are not many tutorials to follow, so I would appreciate it if people can help my fix my problems.

 

I would like help with the following problems:

(I know its a lot and not well organized & I apologize)

 

- They changed the block id system, so for setting blocks and getting blocks, how does that and they whole block system work now and are items impacted?

 

- What happened to @NetworkMod and How can I initialize my packet Handler, packetHandler channels, and other stuff

 

- TickRegistry Class?

 

- Icon Registry and Textures?

 

- Registering things like Player Tracker

 

- Language and Block Registry

 

- Everything Else That You Think That Would Help Me!!!

Forge now handles Data Values, so remove them for everything.

Network mod is not needed; just remove it.

No idea; haven't ever used it

Remove the registerIcons methods, and add .setBlockTextureName("modid:texture.png") or .setTextureName("modid:texture.png") to the end of each Block or Item you add. (e.g., public static final Item exampleItem = new ItemExampleItem().setUnlocalizedName("exampleItem).setTextureName("parker8283_example:exampleItem.png");

LanguageRegistry no longer exists. You must now put your In-Game Names in a seperate file called en_US.lang in the assets/modid/lang/ directory, and do the following:

For blocks, write tile.exampleBlock.name=Example Block, and for Items, put item.exampleItem.name=Example Item.

Block Registry should be the same.

BlockRegistry is this.

 

public static Block ConicalFlask = new BlockConicalFlask(Material.glass);

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(ConicalFlask, Strings.ConicalFlaskInfo[1]);

 

I am not sure what the string does in GameRegistry.registerBlock so I just gave it the string of the unlocalizedname

 

LanguageRegistry works in the .lang file tho I don't know how to do it yet
