I have the feeling it's something wrong with my coding...I don't quite understand all of how BlockStairs works to begin with...and I have the feeling I need more then just BlockStairs to make this work...I've tried 2 different methods for this. One is by creating a block that extends BlockStairs:

package craftygirls.blocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockStairs;

public class CraftyStairs extends BlockStairs {
public CraftyStairs(Block par1, int par2) {
	super(par1, par2);
}
}

And one where I literally just copied BlockStairs and called it through the registry in main (I didn't copy the BlockStairs coding, I just copied the Init section that has my stairs in it):

StefStairs = new new BlockStairs(CraftyGirlsMain.StefPlanks, 0).setBlockName("ttsnimstairs").setHardness(5.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setCreativeTab(CraftyGirlsCoreTabs).setBlockTextureName("craftygirls:planks_ttsnim");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(StefStairs, "ttsnimstairs");
	StefBrick.setHarvestLevel("axe", 3);

So...I'm left with the question...am I just stupid and the answer is clear? Or are stairs actually super complicated and I need help on this? Cause I can't seem to figure this out...so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is all you have to do.

 

Create a custom class in your mod and make it extend BlockStairs.

 

package mod.xtronius.bc_mod.blocks.Misc;

 

import mod.xtronius.bc_mod.creativetab.CreativeTab;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockStairs;

 

public class BCBlockStairs extends BlockStairs {

 

public BCBlockStairs(int par1, Block par2Block, int par3) {

super(par1, par2Block, par3);

 

this.setLightOpacity(0);

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTab.tabsBC_ModDecorativeBlocks);

}

public boolean isOpaqueCube(){

return false;

}

}

 

 

Then Just initialize just like you would initialize any other block.

 

Also Why do you have the word new typed two times?

StefStairs = new new BlockStairs(CraftyGirlsMain.StefPlanks, 0).setBlockName("ttsnimstairs").setHardness(5.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setCreativeTab(CraftyGirlsCoreTabs).setBlockTextureName("craftygirls:planks_ttsnim");

GameRegistry.registerBlock(StefStairs, "ttsnimstairs");

StefBrick.setHarvestLevel("axe", 3);

Whoops, that was an accident...I retyped the code by hand when I posted it here... -smacks forehead- I'm dumb...I had to initialize the planks before the stairs but didn't for some reason...so it really was something super simple that I did wrong...
