[1.7.10] Getting a block to look right in your inventory.

[Robo51]

I've been fideling around with one of my block textures

 

(Heres the code for that:)

 

 

public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) {

if (side == 1) {

return this.iconTop;

} else if (side == 0) {

return this.iconTop;

} else if (side != meta) {

return this.blockIcon;

} return this.iconFace;

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister IconRegistry) {

this.blockIcon = IconRegistry.registerIcon(Constants.MODID + ":" + "chassisBlock");

this.iconFace = IconRegistry.registerIcon(Constants.MODID + ":" + "presserBlock_face");

this.iconTop = IconRegistry.registerIcon(Constants.MODID + ":" + "presserBlock_top");

}

 

 

 

It looks fine when placed in the world but looks different while in my inventory.

 

 

I kind of understand why it looks this way but I can't figure out how to fix it, and make it look like it does when placed.

I think the best way to solve that is to have a default texture, so when meta==0 you return the correct texture in your inventory.

I changed it to this:

 

 

 

public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) {

if (side == 1) {

return this.iconTop;

} else if (side == 0) {

return this.iconTop;

} else if (meta == 0) {

return this.iconFace;

} else if (side != meta) {

return this.blockIcon;

} return this.iconFace;

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister IconRegistry) {

this.blockIcon = IconRegistry.registerIcon(Constants.MODID + ":" + "chassisBlock");

this.iconFace = IconRegistry.registerIcon(Constants.MODID + ":" + "presserBlock_face");

this.iconTop = IconRegistry.registerIcon(Constants.MODID + ":" + "presserBlock_top");

}

 

 

 

And got this as a result:

 

 

Fiddling around with it more couldn't produce anything better.

Hi

 

You might find the topics under "Item Rendering" useful

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

 

You could use an IItemRenderer, or alternatively an ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler (which might be easier).

 

These will let you rotate the block to face any way you choose

 

A quick google should shown you some tutorials
