[1.7.2] Creating a custom liquid

[HeyAwesomePeople]

Hello forge, I am new here and am trying to create a custom liquid just to see how it works. I have knowledge of Java and will not be asking you guys to teach me Java, don't worry.

 

Here is what I have in the main class:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

// Fluids
public static Block basicFluidBlock;

// Register Stuff
Fluid basicFluid = new Fluid("basicFluid");
	FluidHelper.createFluid(basicFluid, 5, 1000, 295, 2000, false);
	basicFluid.setUnlocalizedName(basicFluid.getUnlocalizedName());
	RegisterHelper.registerFluid(basicFluid);

	basicFluidBlock = new BasicFluidBlock(basicFluid);
	RegisterHelper.registerBlock(basicFluidBlock);

 

 

And here is my BasicFluidBlock class:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

public class BasicFluidBlock extends BlockFluidClassic {



    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    protected IIcon stillIcon;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    protected IIcon flowingIcon;
    
    public BasicFluidBlock(Fluid fluid) {
	super(fluid, Material.water);

	setBlockName("basicFluid");
	setCreativeTab(HapMod.basicTab);
}
    
    @Override
    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) {
            return (side == 0 || side == 1)? stillIcon : flowingIcon;
    }
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerIcons(IIconRegister register) {
            stillIcon = register.registerIcon(Reference.MODID + ":"
    				+ "fluidStill");
            flowingIcon = register.registerIcon(Reference.MODID + ":"
    				+ "fluidFlowing");
    }
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void flowIntoBlock(World world, int x, int y, int z, int meta)
    {
        if (meta < 0) return;
        if (displaceIfPossible(world, x, y, z))
        {
            world.setBlock(x, y, z, this, meta, 3);
        }
    }

}

 

 

I have looked at the wiki, and watching many tutorials(even though they are from 1.6.4/1.6.2). The liquid has no texture, and there is an error while loading:

I have tried setting the texture in the blocks and items folder, both don't work.

 

Thanks,

are your files named fluidStill and fluidFlowing?

I'm pretty sure that you need to replace registerIcons with registerBlockIcons, it used to be what you did, but in 1.7.2, it's registerBlockIcons. Hope this helps!

Try adding @Override annotations to all your methods that should be overriding methods in the superclass, you don't need this; but it won't hurt and it will give your errors when method names/args are wrong, helping you out.

Indeed, as I've tried to get across many times: if you think you are overriding a method - you NEED to put an @override annotation for sanity's sake.
