Passing NBT item data to NBT tileEntity data?

[Alphafox_13]

So i have some code that adds a NBT tag to a block when i pass it through a shapeless crafting reciepe

MastStack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
        NBTTagCompound tags = MastStack.stackTagCompound;
        tags.setBoolean("Upright", true);
        GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(MastStack, new Object[] {MastUp,MastUp,MastUp});

however it doesn't preserve the data when it is placed as a block/tileentity. The data will be stored in the TE as i have set up several setters/getters and am already storing most of my data there anyway, however i have no idea how to pass the data form Item to TE

Thanks, where would i find an example of this? Cuase i already have a ItemBlock however i am not sure how to use

onItemUse()

[glow=red,2,300]ItemBlockMast[/glow]

public class ItemMast extends ItemBlock{
private final Block Mast;
public ItemMast(Block block) {
	super(block);
	this.Mast = block;
	this.setHasSubtypes(true);
}
public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack item){
	int i = item.getItemDamage();
	if(i<0||i>=BlockMast.subBlocks.length){
		i=i-BlockMast.subBlocks.length;
	}
	return super.getUnlocalizedName()+"."+BlockMast.subBlocks[i];
}
public int getMetadata(int meta){
	return meta;
}
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIconFromDamage(int meta)
    {
    	return this.Mast.getIcon(0, meta);
    }
}

 

Yes Im in 1.7.10

You call super.onItemUse first, that will place block for you.

Then you use getTileEntityAt, check that it's your te and you can do what ever you want...
