Hello,

first i want to apologize for that question, as i am sure the solution is pretty obvious.

 

So i am trying to learn how to write a Mod, so i started with the Tutorials on your Wiki.

http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Crafting_and_Smelting says, that i can "make" an ItemStack with

ItemStack dirtStack = new ItemStack(Block.dirt);

 

but there is no dirt in Block.

 

So my question is:

Where are static instances of the vanilla Blocks ?

 

i figured i could use something like

new ItemStack(Block.getBlockById(1))

but... you know, thats like the worst idea ever.

 

Just to test, i tried to download the 1.6 Forge, and obviously, the code from the tutorial works.

 

is there any Reference that mentions api-changes (1.6->1.7) like that, so i can figure out myself, what to change, if i find an outdated Tutorial or forum post?

 

thanks in advance,

Xaw.4

Blocks.dirt

As of 1.7, the only way to access the blocks/items is to use Blocks.java or Items.java. They are no longer contained in their Item and Block classes.

Thank you!

 

is there any good forum post/site, where i can find changes like those, so i can work it out myself next time?

Looking through the vanilla code is always your best bet for finding out how things changed.

Thank you!
