[SOLVED]How do I add lore to a block?

[memcallen]

I'm making a block and I want to add a "press shift for..." to it, normally I would use addInformation but seeing as that's an Item method, I can't use it. Do I have to create a custom ItemBlock? and if so, how do I?

[coolboy4531]

Yes. You need to create an ItemBlock.

Not sure if this is outdated or not, but back then I used this:

 

When you register your block:

GameRegistry.registerBlock(randomBlock, RandomItemBlock.class, "randomBlock");

 

For the ItemBlock just create a class (as an example I used RandomItemBlock.class) - make it extend ItemBlock, then do the regular methods as it is just like an Item now which you can use addInformation and other Item methods.

[memcallen]

I tried this:GameRegistry.registerBlock(MultiTeleporter, MultiTelepadItemBlock.class,"MultiUseTeleporter"); but I just crashed, is there anything special I have to do in the ItemBlock class?

[coolAlias]

If your game crashes, ALWAYS post the crash log.

[memcallen]

it does, it takes my telepad block-the same one as in the register segment

[memcallen]

what do you mean by subclass?

 

this is my ItemBlocks constructor, how would I change it to work?

public MultiTelepadItemBlock() {
super(gammacraft.MultiTeleporter);
this.setCreativeTab(gammacraft.PlasmaTech);
this.setUnlocalizedName("MultiUseTeleporter");
}

[memcallen]

ok, I got it to work now, thanks
