Hi! I made a bunch of new blocks using Minecraft Forge

 

Making the block in my main class:

 

 

public static Block myblock;

 

myblock= new myblock().setBlockName("myblock").setCreativeTab(myNewTabThingy).setBlockTextureName(modid +":"+ "myblock");

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(myblock,"myblock");

 

 

 

and here is the myblock class:

 

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

 

public class myblock extends Block {

 

protected myblock () {

super(Material.ground);

this.setHardness(4F);

this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 0);

this.setResistance(4F);

}

 

}

 

 

 

The code runs and works fine! There is just 2 things that I need help/teaching with

 

1) how to make the block drop a different block when you mine it

 

2) how to make the block drop nothing if its broke with your fist

 

Thanks

1) Override Block#getItemDropped(int, Random, int)

2) Change your block Material to one that requires a tool. (Material#setRequiresTool())

public class myblock extends Block {

 

2) how to... drop nothing if it's broken with your fist

 

Instead of extending the general Block class, consider extending the BlockOre class that is itself an extension of Block. Then, in your constructor, add a line like:

 

this.setHarvestLevel ("pickaxe", 2); // Iron or better pick

 

Look inside BlockOre to see what it adds to Block functionality. If you see something (like quantityDroppedWithBonus) that you want imitate, then override it with code for your subclass of ore.
