Hello MCF foums,

I would like to know how i would make a block that cant be collided with like a normal block but still be able to transfer you to a dimension.

Why not look in BlockPortal.java? Alternatively/additionally, you can inherit from

BlockPortal

and just override the code you need to.

Ok i will try that i guess i was trying to avoid extending anything but block(dont ask why im just weird like that).

Yeah ... that is pretty weird alright.

One last thing what is the method to change the texture of the block within the block class i havent been able to figure it out and make it work

Why not use

setBlockTextureName

?

I have tried that when i did the:

 

public static Block CodePortal = new CodePortal(Material.rock).setBlockName("CodePortal").setBlockTextureName("BOW:codePortal");

 

in my @mod file but it just uses the nether portal texture instead

The error log should tell you what is wrong.

 

I believe you can't have your texture namespace in anything but lowercase.

 

Also, don't have your variable the same name and capitalisation as your class.

what do you mean by?:

 

I believe you can't have your texture namespace in anything but lowercase.

Currently, your texture namespace is "BOW". If I recall correctly, that gets noisily changed to the lowercase "bow", and as such will look for textures in assets/bow/textures/blocks/codePortal.png. You might as well change your texture namespace to "bow", as this happens regardless.

 

Do yourself a favour and use a lowercase ModID anyway.

oh ok
