Hi, I have a problem, I have a block and I am storing data about side texture at TileEntity, when Block is in inventory texture data are stored in NBT data of ItemBlock. When block is placed in the world, everything works fine, but I can't figure out how to get rendering at inventory/hand working, I know that i can use public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) in block, but I don't have acess to ItemStack/ItemBlock, so I can't get data from NBT. I tryed a couple of methods in ItemBlock like public IIcon getIcon(ItemStack stack, int pass) but it also did not work ...

 

Thanks for any help!

 

getIcon of my Block (this works)

public IIcon getIcon(IBlockAccess blockAcess, int x, int y, int z, int side) {
	TileEntityMW te = (TileEntityMW) blockAcess.getTileEntity(x, y, z);
	if(te != null){
		return sideTextures[te.getSideTexture(side)];
	} else {
		return null;
	}
}

 

I can use this or blockIcon to set Icon of block, this works in inventory/hand but I can't get data from TileEntity/ItemStack

@Override
public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) {
	return sideTexture[0];
}

An item in hand or inventory is actually an ItemStack. You can code the block's drop method to give the dropped stack a "damage" value, and from damage you can choose a texture.

But that limits my options to 16 states.

I have 4 types of texture, that can be on any side in any combination. That is about 1296 combinations already, I can't use metadata.

You have access to the ItemBlock/ItemStack just make a new ItemBlock and register your block with it like so:

GameRegistry.registerBlock(myBlockInstance, MyItemBlock.class, "myBlockName");

 

EDIT: nvm

I allready have custom ItemBlock for my Block, I am using it to display tooltip that shows IDs of texture on sides (from NBT) of my Block.

I have tryed to @Override getIcon, but doesn't work for me.

 

Hi

 

I suggest you look at using IItemRenderer.  The renderer is given the ItemStack when rendering, and has access to the NBT information

 

See here for some background info

But that limits my options to 16 states.

I have 4 types of texture, that can be on any side in any combination. That is about 96 combinations already, I can't use metadata.

Pretty sure the max damage for an item is closer to 32,767 and not 16.

Thanks! I have fixed it using ItemRenderer.
