[1.7.2] How to make a block drop a random item on right click and it destroys

[BobMan]

I have been wondering how to make a crate and on right click it drops a random item from my mod and the crate disapears? Please respond back. Thank you!

[BobMan]

And how would I do that?

Well for the random items you should do something like:

 

int[] itemList = new int[20]; //amount of random items

itemList[0] = MainModClass.randomItem1;

itemList[1] = MainModClass.randomItem2;

itemList[2] = MainModClass.randomItem3;

etc..:

 

Then you would want a random thingy.

Random rand = new Random();

int randomInt = rand.nextInt(20); //amount of random items

 

Then in the getItemDropped() method you return:

 

itemList[randomInt];

 

So it would be:

public void getItemDropped(PARAMS HERE) {

return itemList[randomInt];

}

 

This SHOULD work, not 100% cause I didn't test it

a) Why are you using an int[]? Use an Item[] or better yet a List<Item>.

b) getItemDropped is for Blocks.

A) an int still works and you need it for the random generating part

B) he is using a block so the getItemDropped works.

 

If u think this is wrong post ur own code

Well... he's here to learn, not to copy-paste ready code..

 

Also, what are you talking about?

itemList should have been a List<Item>, or an item array.. whereas obviously for the random part you need the randomInt as an integer... you might have gotten that wrong..

A) an int still works and you need it for the random generating part

thats NOT how you use an array

B) he is using a block so the getItemDropped works.

OP said on right click.

 

Too the actual problem

I guess the crate is a block?

 

There's the method

 public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityPlayer player, int p_149727_6_, float p_149727_7_, float p_149727_8_, float p_149727_9_){}

you want to override in your Crate class,

There you can do your operations

I personally would create an Item Array (a list is probably somewhat smarter)

generate a random number

spawn a EntityItem in the world with yourItemArray[yourRandomNumber]

then say world.setBlockToAir(x, y, z);

and there you go
