Greetings!

 

In my code I recently added some recipes for items (I was on creative the whole time, so I didn't need them) and my recipe-loader fails to work with blocks of my mod.

 

I've narrowed down where the issue is: the .getItem() method on an itemstack of a custom block returns null.

Does my block class need to extend ItemBlock? Then how do I give it a TileEntity? (it's currently extending BlockContainer)

 

I've read through the getItem method of ItemStack, and saw it checks if a delegate is null or not. It gets initialised when you construct an ItemStack with an Item, but I'm registering it with a Block... Which shouldn't be a problem right?

 

This is the relevant code for the block and recipe registry:

 

public static Block BlockItemStorageUnitTier1 = new BlockItemStorageUnitTier1();
public static Block BlockItemStorageUnitTier2 = new BlockItemStorageUnitTier2();
public static Item ItemMechanicalBindingComponent = new ItemMechanicalBindingComponent();

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLInitializationEvent event){
    	GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockItemStorageUnitTier1,"BlockItemStorageUnitTier1");
    	GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockItemStorageUnitTier2,"BlockItemStorageUnitTier2");
    	GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityItemStorageUnitTier1.class,"TileEntityItemStorageUnitTier1");
    	GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityItemStorageUnitTier2.class,"TileEntityItemStorageUnitTier2");
GameRegistry.registerItem(ItemMechanicalBindingComponent,"ItemMechanicalBindingComponent");
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
ItemStack stackSUT1 = new ItemStack(BlockItemStorageUnitTier1);
ItemStack stackSUT2 = new ItemStack(BlockItemStorageUnitTier2);
ItemStack stackMBC = new ItemStack(ItemMechanicalBindingComponent);
GameRegistry.addShapedRecipe(stackSUT2,"xxx","xyx","xxx",'x',stackSUT1,'y',stackMBC);
System.out.println(stackSUT1);
}
/code]

That crashes on the println, because the toString() method of an ItemStack asks item.getUnlocalizedName(), and item is null.

I have no idea what to do. I need the item object to not be null for my crafting system. How else can I get an object from an itemstack that's shared amongst multiple itemstacks of the same kind?

Thanks in advance,
Pancake

I've narrowed the problem further down, the Block.getIdFromBlock(my_block) returns -1.

It isn't properly registered, somehow. Yet I feel like I'm pretty sure It's registered... Am I supposed to do something extra? my mod worked fine untill now

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLInitializationEvent event){
    	...
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
...
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){

}

I'm confused. is this supposed to help me? Don't I already have this part? I showed it in my original post.

Look at the arguments from the methods...
