I am working on updating my Coffee & Tea Mod and I am trying to fix a bug that has been in it for a while. Basically whenever the farmland underneath my custom crop (technically a coffee bush) has a block update it turns to dirt. I have no idea how to fix this and it is really weird. Here is the code to my Coffee Bush.

 

package net.richardsprojects.teamod.main;


//Removed the imports to shorten the code here


public class BlockCoffeeBush extends BlockContainer implements IGrowable {


	protected BlockCoffeeBush(Material mat) {

		super(mat);


		this.setTickRandomly(true);

		float f = 0.5F;

	    this.setBlockBounds(0.5F - f, 0.0F, 0.5F - f, 0.5F + f, 0.25F, 0.5F + f);

	    this.setCreativeTab((CreativeTabs)null);

	    this.setHardness(0.0F);

	    this.setStepSound(soundTypeGrass);

	    this.disableStats();

	}


	public static void mainRegistry()

	{

		initializeBlock();

		registerBlock();

	}


	//Used to handle crops growing

    public void updateTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random random)

    {

    	if (world.getBlockLightValue(x, y + 1, z) >= 9)

    	{

    		int metadata = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z);


    		if (metadata < 7)

    		{

    			if (random.nextInt(2) == 0)

    			{

    				metadata++;

    				world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, metadata, 2);

    			}

    		}

    	}

    }


	public static Block coffeeBush;


	public static void initializeBlock()

	{

		coffeeBush = new BlockCoffeeBush(Material.grass).setBlockName("coffeeBush").setBlockTextureName("teamod:CoffeeStage1_4");

	}


	public static void registerBlock()

	{

		GameRegistry.registerBlock(coffeeBush, coffeeBush.getUnlocalizedName());

	}


	//Set the TileEntity

	@Override

	public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World p_149915_1_, int p_149915_2_)

	{

		return new CoffeeBushEntity();

	}


	//Can be grown on farmland, dirt, or grass

	protected boolean canPlaceBlockOn(Block block)

    {

        return block == Blocks.farmland;

    }


	//Not a normal renderType

    @Override

    public int getRenderType() {

            return -1;

    }

   

    //It's not an opaque cube

    @Override

    public boolean isOpaqueCube() {

            return false;

    }

   

    //It's not a normal block

    public boolean renderAsNormalBlock() {

            return false;

    }


	//Returns whether its fully grown?

	@Override

	public boolean func_149851_a(World world, int x, int y, int z, boolean flag)

	{		

		return world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) != 7;

	}


	//I have no idea what this is for.

	@Override

	public boolean func_149852_a(World world, Random random, int x, int y, int z)

	{

		return true;

	}


	//Handles Bonemeal

	@Override

	public void func_149853_b(World world, Random random, int x, int y, int z)

	{

		int metadata = 0;

		metadata = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) + MathHelper.getRandomIntegerInRange(world.rand, 2, 5);


        if (metadata > 7)

        {

            metadata = 7;

        }


        world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, metadata, 2);

	}


    protected Item func_149865_P()

    {

    	return null;

    }

    

    /**

     * Gets an item for the block being called on. Args: world, x, y, z

     */

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public Item getItem(World p_149694_1_, int p_149694_2_, int p_149694_3_, int p_149694_4_)

    {

        return this.func_149866_i();

    }

    

    /**

     * Returns the quantity of items to drop on block destruction.

     */

    @Override

    public int quantityDropped(Random p_149745_1_)

    {

        return 0;

    }

    

	/**

     * Gets an item for the block being called on. Args: world, x, y, z

     */

	//TODO: Don't know if this needs to be only client side or not

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random rnd, int p_149650_3_)

    {

        return null;

    }

    

	protected Item func_149866_i()

    {

        return ItemCoffeeBeans.unroastedBean;

    }


}[/Code]

 

It may seem a bit odd because it is also a TileEntity so that it can display different 3d models for each stage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get this update out as quickly as possible (everything else is finished). TIA

I figured it out. I needed to set the material to Material.plants. I'll leave this here for future reference.
