How do you get a block update from one of the blocks you have made.

 

What is the method called:

 

Example

 

public class blockStuff extends Block {
    public void BlockUpdateMethod() {
        //My Code
    }
}

 

Add this in your class constructor.

.setTickRandomly(true);

 

Then add this - runs per tick.

public void updateTick(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, Random par5Random)

You could use world.scheduleBlockUpdate(), use the onNeighborChanged if you want to update the block while the neighbor blocks are updated (added, removed). If you want a constant tick, I suggest using a tileentity and inside the TileEntity class, add the updateEntity() method. That updates once every tick and is used to make furnaces and other machine update their progress bars and cooking.
