[1.7.10] Blocks with different textured sides??

[KingYoshiYT]

How do I add different sides to my block? I have watched a video by Grovesy but that does not work for me because I cannot do Strings.MODID !

[hugo_the_dwarf]

You talking about how someone uses "main.MODID + ":"+"textureName""?

 

if you know your project's name like my Mod is Rise of Tristram but I shortened it to "rot"

so the file format looks like "src\main\resources\assets\rot\textures" rot is my MODID

 

so really you could use:

"rot:textureName"

 

but I just made a public static String in my main file to save the ID so if I decide to rename it, or change "rot" to "dcrot" dc being Diablocraft Rise of Tristram I can just update the String MODID to be "dcrot"

 

hope this helps, also since you watched a tutorial I'd figure you understand how to return a texture/icon based on the block's side.

So would I do something like this?

 

Side0 = icon.registerIcon(yc:texturename + ":Side0");

[hugo_the_dwarf]

no it would be:

"yc:Side0"

 

but I reeaaaaaly suggest making a public static String in your Main class called MODID and is set as ="yc"

 

so you'd use Side0 = icon.registerIcon(Main.MODID +":" +"Side0");

How do I make the string?

[larsgerrits]

Do you know Java?

[KingYoshiYT]

Yes I do know Java!

[larsgerrits]

Then you should know how to make a String.

[KingYoshiYT]

I know how to make strings but not the MODID one

[larsgerrits]

You do it the same way as other Strings in Java.

Okay
