[1.7.2] Add information to blocks.

[FLUFFY2]

Hello everyone!

I want to add informations to my blocks.

In items i found "addInformation()" and it works.

But for ItemBlock what should i use?

There is no "addInformation()" there.

Thanks for helping!

Hi

 

You can still override that method from Item.  It doesn't have to be in ItemBlock, since ItemBlock derives from Item.

 

Just use

@Override

    public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)

 

exactly like you did for your MyItem extends Item

Well i don't have an extend ItemBlock class.

Only extend BlockContainer.

And the @Override is gives an error.

You will need to implement your own ItemBlock class to register with your block.

 

Your custom class can then override the addInformation method from Item.

 

E.G.:

Block class:

public class ItemBlockStructureBuilder extends ItemBlock
{

public ItemBlockStructureBuilder(Block p_i45328_1_)
  {
  super(p_i45328_1_);
  }

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
  {
  String name = "corrupt_item";
  if(par1ItemStack.hasTagCompound() && par1ItemStack.getTagCompound().hasKey("structureName"))
    {
    name = par1ItemStack.getTagCompound().getString("structureName");
    }
  par3List.add("DEBUG- struct name: "+name);  
  }
}

 

Item/block registry (in a load method in an item-loader class, called during mod-pre-init):

  AWBlocks.builderBlock = new BlockStructureBuilder("structure_builder_ticked");
  GameRegistry.registerBlock(AWBlocks.builderBlock, ItemBlockStructureBuilder.class, "structure_builder_ticked");//register your itemBlock with the block
