I made some blocks, most of which will be used to generate a structure. I added them to the lang file, added textures for them, and added them to my Creative Tab. I then ran it to build the structure (I like laying out generated structures before adding the code) and opened up the Creative Tab. No textures:

 

 

The blocks not working are BlockThatch, BlockSmoothSandstone, BlockTurnedPlanksBirch, BlockTurnedPlanksOak, and BlockGranite.

 

But I clearly have the files in there:

 

 

Here is the code:

 

 

Main class:

        materialsTab = new MaterialsCreativeTab("Significant Advancements Materials");

        blockGranite = new BlockGranite(Material.rock);
        blockSmoothSandstone = new BlockSmoothSandstone(Material.rock);
        blockThatch = new BlockThatch(Material.leaves); //TODO Find out what Hay's material really is.

        blockTurnedPlanksBirch = new BlockTurnedPlanksBirch(Material.wood);
        blockTurnedPlanksOak = new BlockTurnedPlanksOak(Material.wood);

    	magicalBook = new MagicalBook("item.magicalBook.name", 1, MODID + ":magicalBook");

	}
    	
    	//Attempt to create cache file if it doesn't already exist

        //Add items and blocks to creative tabs.
        materialsTab.addBlock(blockGranite);
        materialsTab.addBlock(blockSmoothSandstone);
        materialsTab.addBlock(blockThatch);

        materialsTab.addBlock(blockTurnedPlanksBirch);
        materialsTab.addBlock(blockTurnedPlanksOak);

        GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(blockTurnedPlanksOak), new ItemStack(Blocks.planks, 1, 0));
    }
}

 

BlockThatch:

 

public class BlockThatch extends BlockRotatedPillar{
    public BlockThatch(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("thatch");
        this.setBlockTextureName(SignificantAdvancements.MODID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
        this.setHardness(0.5F);
    }

    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    protected IIcon getSideIcon(int metadata) {
        return this.blockIcon;
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister icon)
    {
        this.field_150164_N = icon.registerIcon(this.getTextureName() + "_top");
        this.blockIcon = icon.registerIcon(this.getTextureName() + "_side");
    }
}

 

BlockSmoothSandstone:

 

public class BlockSmoothSandstone extends Block {

    public BlockSmoothSandstone(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("smoothSandstone");
        this.setBlockTextureName(SignificantAdvancements.MODID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
        this.setHardness(1.5F);
        this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 1);
    }
}

 

BlockTurnedPlanksBirch:

 

public class BlockTurnedPlanksBirch extends Block {

    public BlockTurnedPlanksBirch(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("turnedPlanksBirch");
        this.setBlockTextureName(SignificantAdvancements.MODID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
        this.setHardness(2F);
    }
}

 

BlockTurnedPlanksOak:

 

public class BlockTurnedPlanksOak extends Block {

    public BlockTurnedPlanksOak(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("turnedPlanksOak");
        this.setBlockTextureName(SignificantAdvancements.MODID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
        this.setHardness(2F);
    }
}

 

 

Nope, not working.

Oh that's right. I forgot I changed that. lol

well, that allowed the localizations to work. The textures still aren't working.

actually i don't think the problem is the ulocalised name its actually this:

 

you have the images in

assets/sa/blocks

where as java/minecraft is looking for them at

assets/sa/textures/blocks

 

well actually there is a small thing with the unlocalised name your missing .substring(5)

 

PS. i noramally add

public static final String DIR = "sa";

just below the

final String MODID

and change it to

this.setBlockTextureName(SignificantAdvancements.DIR + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

that way my file structure is independant of my ModID

If you go to your src folder, wherever it may be, you should be able to click main, resources, assets, YOURMODID, textures, blocks. I feel like you might of named "assets" "assets.sa".

diesieben07 is right, you should register them like:

 

setBlockTexture(ModResources.MODID + ":" + "TextureName");

Make a Blocks texture Folder and a lang file like this. your directory in you Mod folder should say this. yourmod>bin>assets>yourmod\textures\blocks put your png photo in this folder. remember it has to be a png. also you must have a .setBlockTextureName("Set the block name here") and use that name for the block texture in your folder. so if you have a texture in your block textures folder it has to be the exact same word as your set texture name. the language folder is only for your names for stuff.

Ya, thanks for reminding me. I forgot that getUnlocalizedName returned "tile.someblock.name" instead of "someblock" I guess. And I also didn't do my directory right apparently. I'll fix it and test it tomorrow. For now this is solved. Thanks for all the help guys.

If you want to use "getUnlocalizedName" do this:

 

this.setBlockName(MODID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

 

This removes the first five characters of the unlocalized name so you get "someblock". Java won't read past characters like "." and ":" unless you use splitString() I believe.

Oh, that's a cool feature. I guess my intentions with using getUnlocalizedName were to avoid hard coding stuff as much as I could. I don't know why.

Ok, I tested it, it works now. Thanks everyone!

Java won't read past characters like "." and ":" unless you use splitString() I believe.

 

wut? False, you can store ANY valid character in a string. After all, a String is just an array of characters with some helper methods.

You can't use ":" in a resource string twice, since it tells the ResourceLocation the String before the : is the resource domain and the the part after is the path. But this is specific to the way ResourceLocations work.

If you want to use "getUnlocalizedName" do this:

 

[snip]

Please no.

 

What? What's wrong with getSubString(5)?
