Hi.

 

I've been trying to get my block to drop metadata items but I can't seem to get it to work

 

here are my attempts

public ArrayList<ItemStack> idDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){
	ArrayList<ItemStack> ret = new ArrayList<ItemStack>();

        int metaDropped = 0;
        
	switch (nextRandom(1)) {
	case 0: 
		 metaDropped = 0;
		 break;
	case 1:
		metaDropped = 1;
		break;
	}
	ret.add(new ItemStack(BlocksItems.Mineral, 1, metaDropped));
	return ret;
}

 

    public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_)
    {
        return Items.redstone;//?
    }

 

thanks for your help

There's another function called damageDropped or similar.

Thanks for you quick reply

 

I tried public ItemStack getDamageDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){

 

return new ItemStack(BlocksItems.Mineral, 1, 1);

}

also damageDropped. none of them worked.

Fixed it if anyone is interrested:

 

Apperantly draco was right but I needed to use damage dropped together with item dropped:

 

    public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random p_149650_2_, int p_149650_3_)
    {
        return BlocksItems.Mineral;
    }

public int damageDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){

	return 0;
}

thanks for your solution. I'm glad you posted this here!

You can also use getDrops to return a list of ItemStack with metadata using the block's metadata. I use this in my ore which drops different kind of gems depending on block's metadata.

 

You should note that damageDropped is also called on silk touch and pick block. So if the metadata of the block is important, let it always return the metadata.
