I am working on a mod and one of the things it adds is cups to Minecraft. I wanted them to be able to be placed on the ground like cakes and drunk from. I have a really good looking model for them and they already render really well. However, I can't figure out how to make drop them drop an item upon being destroyed rather than a block. I am new to developing in 1.7.10.

 

Should I use an event or write code in the block file that would handle it? 

public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random rnd, int p_149650_3_)
    {
        return youritem;
    }

Thanks that worked!
