Hi so I am not that good at adding textures and things of that nature to the code because in the past I have just been a code coder no textures and rendering. I have had people do that for me. But now that I have taken up minecraft modding I have had to have started taking this task upon myself. Well it has been going fine for me until now. I want to make a block that has different textures for each side and faces the way the player entity placed it.

 

Can anyone help me out. Another things I should say is I am using this for a base block class.

 

Thanks in advanced,

Kind of like a furnace? Go check out the furnace code a little. When it's placed by a player it sets metadata to indicate which direction it (or the player if you prefer) is facing (at that time). There is a method:

public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta)

that will pass you the metadata as well as the side minecraft wants the texture for. You pass back the icon you want it to use for that side if it's facing a certain direction.
