Blocks (Like Ores) Dropping metadata Items?

[UnwiseDeadkilla]

Sorry I'm quite new to modding and I've been looking every where and came up empty but I was wondering if anybody could help me.. I've made a new Lapis Ore and I'm trying to figure out how to make it drop lapis and I can't quite figure that out.. Thanks for the help in advance!

There's a method in the block file called damage dropped. Return the lapis metadata and in the item dropped method return items.dye

Look into the BlockOre.class.

 

    public int damageDropped(int p_149692_1_)

    {

        return this == Blocks.lapis_ore ? 4 : 0;

    }

 

Means: If the block is a lapis ore block, the metadata will be set to 4.

*Edit* I've seem to make everything work now thanks for the help! The code I've seemed to smash together is below..

 

public Item getItemDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3){

return Items.dye;

}

public int damageDropped(int p_149692_1_)

    {

  return 4;

   

}
