[1.8][SOLVED] Entity isn't making dirt into grass

Posted December 19, 201410 yr

I can't figure out how to make the entity get the dirt block below it to turn into grass. In the previous version, I created a getter that grabbed the block's position and metadata, but with 1.8, everything with the block position and metadata changed. How I do it now?

    	for(int l = 0; l <= 4; ++l) //TODO
        {
    		 if(worldObj.rand.nextFloat() < footprint_chance) {
    			 continue;
    		 }
    		
            int i = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posX + (l % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);
            int j = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posY) - 1 ;
            int k = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posZ + (l / 2 % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);

            if (this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)) == Blocks.dirt //TODO
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j+1, k)).getBlock().getLightValue() >= 4 
                     && this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)).getBlock() == 0// dirt not podzol
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockLightOpacity(new BlockPos(i, j+1, k)) <= 2){
                this.worldObj.setBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k), footprint.getDefaultState());
            }
        }

Also, here is the ORIGINAL 1.7.10 code I used and worked successfully on 1.7.10

    	for(int l = 0; l <= 4; ++l) //TODO
        {
    		 if(worldObj.rand.nextFloat() < footprint_chance) {
    			 continue;
    		 }
    		
            int i = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posX + (l % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);
            int j = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posY) - 1 ;
            int k = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posZ + (l / 2 % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);

            if (this.worldObj.getBlock(i, j, k) == Blocks.dirt
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockMetadata(i, j, k) == 0 // dirt not podzol
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockLightValue(i, j+1, k) >= 4 
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockLightOpacity(i, j+1, k) <= 2){
                this.worldObj.setBlock(i, j, k, footprint);
            }
        }

getBlock != getBlockState

getBlockState in 1.8 is equivalent to getBlockMetadata in 1.7, based on what I understand of the changes.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

That didn't work, here's what I did

    	for(int l = 0; l <= 4; ++l) //TODO
        {
    		 if(worldObj.rand.nextFloat() < footprint_chance) {
    			 continue;
    		 }
    		
            int i = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posX + (l % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);
            int j = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posY) - 1 ;
            int k = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posZ + (l / 2 % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);

            if (this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)) == Blocks.dirt //TODO
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j+1, k)).getBlock().getLightValue() >= 4 
                     && this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)).getBlock().getDefaultState() == this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)).getBlock().getDefaultState().withProperty(BlockDirt.VARIANT, BlockDirt.DirtType.DIRT)  // dirt not podzol
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockLightOpacity(new BlockPos(i, j+1, k)) <= 2){
                this.worldObj.setBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k), footprint.getDefaultState());
            }
        }

I still can't figure out how to get the dirt block's metadata. Can anyone help me out?

Should the method look like this?

            int i = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posX + (l % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);
            int j = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posY) - 1 ;
            int k = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posZ + (l / 2 % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);

            if (this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)) == Blocks.dirt //TODO
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j+1, k)).getBlock().getLightValue() >= 4 
                     && this.worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)).getBlock().getDefaultState() == worldObj.getBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k)).getBlock().getDefaultState().getValue(BlockDirt.VARIANT)  // dirt not podzol
            		 && this.worldObj.getBlockLightOpacity(new BlockPos(i, j+1, k)) <= 2){
                this.worldObj.setBlockState(new BlockPos(i, j, k), footprint.getDefaultState());
            }

Here's what I did and it still didn't work.

            int x = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posX + (l % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);
            int y = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posY) - 1 ;
            int z = MathHelper.floor_double(this.posZ + (l / 2 % 2 * 2 - 1) * 0.25F);
            BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(x, y, z);
            BlockPos pos2 = new BlockPos(x, y+1, z);
            IBlockState state = this.worldObj.getBlockState(pos);
            boolean isAnyDirt = state.getBlock() == Blocks.dirt;
            boolean isRegularDirt = isAnyDirt && state.getValue(BlockDirt.VARIANT) == BlockDirt.DirtType.DIRT;
            
            if (isAnyDirt && isRegularDirt){ //TODO
                this.worldObj.setBlockState(pos, footprint.getDefaultState());
            }
        }

EDIT

I removed the two other methods (the light value and light opacity ones) and it worked. Thanks for the help!

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

Well I was mainly trying to figure out whether or not I was doing something wrong and if it could be fixed by just adding something (e.g. maybe I was missing an Attribute or something like that), but if that's not the case then my only option is to use custom pathfinding. If someone has one that functions and is willing to share it, then I'd gladly use that instead of suffering through making my own.

how do i change my username with forge?

In the future I do plan on adding optional OAuth to the new launcher in ForgeGradle 7. But yes, using --username and offline mode is a good workaround to not using accounts in the development environment, especially considering that the server is on LAN.

how do i change my username with forge?

I came across this post looking for an answer to the OP's question. My use case is a classroom with one server in LAN and many clients of course participants that want to test their mods.

The answer is:
On the client
Edit build.gradle. In the section client add the following line before the closing curly brace: args '--username', '<YOUR NAME>'. Replace <YOUR NAME> with your actual username. E.g. if your username is lmoellendorf the client section should look like this:

client { // Comma-separated list of namespaces to load gametests from. Empty = all namespaces. property 'forge.enabledGameTestNamespaces', mod_id args '--username', 'lmoellendorf' }
Make sure that each username is unique on your server.

Start your Minecraft Client. Click Multiplayer then Direct Conection. Here enter the Server address which is the local IP of your server followed by colon : followed by the default port 25565. E.g. if your server's IP is 192.168.0.7 the entry should look like this:

192.168.0.7:25565
On the server

Be sure that in run/server.properties the line online-mode is set to false:

online-mode=false
