I am looking for some help with creating custom slabs for my mod. I have searched around and can only find tutorials and samples for 1.6 or earlier.

Does someone have a sample class I could take a look?

Yes, I am new to coding and modding and yes I do know the basics of java though my knowledge is a drop in the bucket of what I need to know.

I learn by doing. Taking code and ripping it apart to learn how everything works I just can't find anything for slabs.

 

I have the slab in the game and it works as a normal block. I need to know how to make it act as a slab, double slab ect...

Thanks in advanced.

net.minecraft.block package contains every block, including BlockSlab

I have checked out the BlockSlab class but I cant really make heads or tales of it.

Extending that class would be enough, simply override ordinary methods for getting and registering IIcons for textures, see BlockStoneSlab and BlockWoodSlab for how they're implemented in them.

I have been messing with it for over 3 hours and still can't figure it out. I copied everything from the stone slab class, took out everything to do with multiple blocks, mines only one slab, and replaced everything referring to stone with my block and nothing. It's still in the creative inventory along with the double slab and still cant place another to make double.

Post the code so we can help

Ignore this....

Ok, now I have the slab working as a slab. It stacks.

BUT now I have lost the texture and it is just showing up as .name in game.

 

Registry

blockMySlab = new MySlab(false, Material.rock).setBlockName("MySlab");
blockMySlabDouble = new MySlab(true, Material.rock).setBlockName("MySlabDouble");

GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockMySlab, ItemMySlab.class, "blockMySlab");
GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockMySlabDouble, ItemMySlab.class, "blockMySlabDouble");

 

ItemMySlab.class

package com.blackbirdgaming.MyMod.items;

    public ItemMySlab(Block block)
    {
    super(block, (BlockSlab)MyBlocks.blockMySlab, (BlockSlab)MyBlocks.blockMySlabDouble, false);
    this.setMaxDamage(0);
    this.setHasSubtypes(true);

I've been trying to get the slab to work for almost 5 days. I'm sure it's something so small and stupid..

Any help would be appreciated.

The first thing I found is that func_150002_b should return your getFullName function it got ".name" only because you're returning null, another note is that in your getFullName, it shouldn't use super.getUnlocalizedName(), but rather just getUnlocalizedName(), as if you use the former the ItemStack will get Minecraft's slabs name not your mod's ones.

ok I think I understand what you're saying but how do I go about doing that?

ok I have it just unlocalizedName() and not super.

I add

public String blockName = unlocalizedName();

 

and func_150002_b return blockName

 

it still doesnt have texture and its now tile.null.name

public String getFullSlabName(int par1)
{
if ((par1 < 0) || (par1 >= woodType.length))
{
par1 = 0;
}

return getUnlocalizedName() + "." + woodType[par1];
}

 

@Override
public String func_150002_b(int par1) {
return getFullSlabName(par1);
}

 

Still no texture and now name is tile.MySlab.blockMaySlab.name

Now the name is correct (set up a lang file for a friendly name)

Make sure the texture is correct. Its name must all be lowercase (some systems have case-sensitive folders), and depending on your code, it must be assets/mm/myslab.png

It must also be 16x16 in size, like all block textures.

right now for testing I am just using the minecraft stone texture and have it as

this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("minecraft:stone");

 

still not working

ok I decided to try the code I was using for another solid block and it works perfect.

Don't know it works but it does. So I figure I wouldn't argue with it. lol

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
protected IIcon blockIcon;

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister p_149651_1_)
{
blockIcon = p_149651_1_.registerIcon(minecraft:stone);
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public IIcon getIcon(int p_149691_1_, int p_149691_2_)
{
return blockIcon;
}

 

At least you now have a good name 

Yep. Well that was almost 7 days of hell. Can someone point me in the direction of the one who created slabs so I can punch them in the face? lol
