Currently I have my WallBlock class set up so I can create walls by simply creating a constructor. When I tried creating them using my metadata colored cobblestone, I ran into a problem since Minecrafts BlockWall only uses Block, and doesn't have an integer like Minecrafts BlockStairs class does. I have had quite a bit of troubles with this, any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

 

Show your code?

 

I suspect what you're trying to do won't be possible in the way you think, because BlockWall already uses metadata for something else.  But there's nothing to stop you extending BlockWall with your own Block and overriding the method which returns the texture for rendering getIcon() and a couple of the others as necessary eg getSubBlocks()

Here is the WallBlock class:

package net.minecraft.block;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import java.util.List;

import com.ProfitOrange.moshiz.MoShizMain;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.AxisAlignedBB;
import net.minecraft.util.IIcon;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class WallBlock extends BlockWall
{
    private Block icon;
public WallBlock(Block block)
    {
        super(block);
        this.setHardness(block.blockHardness);
        this.setResistance(block.blockResistance / 3.0F);
        this.setStepSound(block.stepSound);
        this.setCreativeTab(MoShizMain.tabDecor);
        this.icon = block;
    }
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta)
    {
    	return icon.getBlockTextureFromSide(side);
    }
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void getSubBlocks(Item item, CreativeTabs tab, List list)
    {
    	list.add(new ItemStack(item, 1, 0));
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister icon) {}
    
    @Override
public boolean canPlaceTorchOnTop(World world, int x, int y, int z) {
	return true;
}
}

 

Here is the constructor:

public static Block ColoredCobblestoneWall = new WallBlock(coloredcobblestone).setBlockName("coloredcobblestonewall");

 

I just wanted to be able to do something like this:

public static Block ColoredCobblestoneWall = new WallBlock(coloredcobblestone, 1).setBlockName("coloredcobblestonewall");

 

The 1 after the block being the metadata value for the colored cobblestone which would bring red, thus making a red cobblestone wall.

 

I was able to get the Icons to show the correct cobblestone color, but when I placed it, it showed a black cobblestone wall, being 0 on the metadata

Yes, because you are throwing away the metadata information in this call

 

    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta)

    {

    return icon.getBlockTextureFromSide(side);

    }

 

use icon.getIcon(int side, int meta) instead

I removed my old code in there. What I'm trying to ask, is how would I be able to call the class like this:

public static Block BlackCobbleWall = new WallBlock(coloredcobble, 0).setBlockName("blackcobblewall");
public static Block RedCobbleWall = new WallBlock(coloredcobble, 1).setBlockName("redcobblewall");
public static Block GreenCobbleWall = new WallBlock(coloredcobble, 2).setBlockName("greencobblewall");

And so on through the 16 colored blocks, I'm not trying to make metadata walls, I am trying to use the metadata colored cobble info to create each one of the walls, but the way they are set up by default, they don't have the ability to call metadata blocks

Hi

 

The problem is - what you are trying to do is create a metadata wall, even though you don't think you are. 

 

Coloured blocks (eg wool) store their colour using metadata.  So if you want your wall to be made of blocks of different colours, it needs to be a metadata wall.

 

This link might help you understand it better - see the Blocks topics.

http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/p/list-of-topics.html

 

It is trivial to add a parameter to your constructor for the colour

public WallBlock(Block block, int i_metadata)

but it's not going to help you any because the metadata is separate from the block, and you will wind up creating 16 different blocks, instead of 1 block with 16 metadata values.  In order to place a block with a particular metadata, you need to set up the Item that is used to place the block - ItemBlock- that is what tattyseal meant.  For example see ItemCloth, which is used to place wool blocks.  Wuppy29 has some very useful tutorials for that.

 

Once the metadata is correct, override the getIcon in the way I suggested to make it return the correct colour when drawing the wall.

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
