I tried adapting my item code

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.item;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.reference.Reference;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.utility.LogHelper;
import com.ibm.icu.impl.Utility;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

public class ItemRS extends Item
{
public ItemRS(String baseName) {
	setUnlocalizedName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
    setTextureName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
    


}
}

 

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.item;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.utility.LogHelper;

public class ItemRedDiamondPick extends ItemRS
{

	public ItemRedDiamondPick() {
	    super("RedDiamondPick");
	    LogHelper.info("ItemRedDiamondPick executed");

}
}

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.init;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.item.ItemRS;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.item.ItemRedDiamondPick;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class ModItems
{
public static final ItemRS RedDiamondPickaxe = new ItemRedDiamondPick();

public static void init()
{
	GameRegistry.registerItem(RedDiamondPickaxe, "RedDiamondPickaxe");
}
}

this is my attempt to adapt it for use for blocks. this first class is the one with an error. it says it needs a constructor...? I'm a little confused by this as the item code worked fine...

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.reference.Reference;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.utility.LogHelper;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockRS extends Block
{
{
	public BlockRS(String baseName) {
		setBlockName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
	    setBlockTextureName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
	   	}
}

 

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block;

public class BlockRedDiamondBlock extends BlockRS
{
public BlockRedDiamondBlock()
{
	super("RedDiamondBlock");

}
}

 

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.init;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block.BlockRS;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block.BlockRedDiamondBlock;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class ModBlocks
{
public static final BlockRS RedDiamondBlock = new BlockRedDiamondBlock();




public static void init()
{
GameRegistry.registerBlock(RedDiamondBlock, "redDiamondBlock");
}
}

hmm...that's strange I must have copped that incorrectly because that doesn't show up in eclipse (that { isn't present for me)

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.reference.Reference;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.utility.LogHelper;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockRS extends Block
{

	public BlockRS(String baseName) {
		setBlockName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
	    setBlockTextureName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
	   	}
}

You have to pass in a Material to the blocks constructor.

so this?

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.init;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block.BlockRS;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block.BlockRedDiamondBlock;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class ModBlocks
{
public static final BlockRS RedDiamondBlock = new BlockRedDiamondBlock( Material.rock);




public static void init()
{
GameRegistry.registerBlock(RedDiamondBlock, "redDiamondBlock");
}
}

 

 

edit

oh it's this.

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.block;

import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.reference.Reference;
import com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.utility.LogHelper;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockRS extends Block
{

	public BlockRS(String baseName ,Material material) {
		  super(material);
		setBlockName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
	    setBlockTextureName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + baseName);
	  
	   	}
}
