[1.8]ItemBlock crash

[The_Fireplace]

Ok, so I am trying to implement a dummy block so I can have an Item with a custom 3d model, and it crashes when I try running the game.

 

So first, the crash report: http://pastebin.com/0p2W9v8L

 

Second, the code I used to register the block(I have tried putting it in the PreInit and the Init):

GameRegistry.registerBlock(coal_gun, ItemBlockCoalGun.class, "coal_gun");

 

Third, the ItemBlock: http://pastebin.com/mvw3MN9r

ItemBlock needs an ItemBlock(Block) constructor. Modify your ItemBlockCoalGun class and add an ItemBlockCoalGun(Block) constructor.

ItemBlock needs an ItemBlock(Block) constructor. Modify your ItemBlockCoalGun class and add an ItemBlockCoalGun(Block) constructor.

public ItemBlockCoalGun() {
                super(UnLogicII.coal_gun);
                
                setMaxStackSize(1);
                setUnlocalizedName("coal_gun");
        }

Does that not cover the superclass's need for a block? Or does it have to be that way for some other reason?

[Draco18s]

That depends. What is

UnLogicII.coal_gun

?

[The_Fireplace]

That depends. What is

UnLogicII.coal_gun

?

Ah, yes, that. It is the dummy block. Yes, it extends Block.

[Draco18s]

Ah, I know what it is.

 

You need to have a constructor that takes a block in its constructor, because the method is called via Reflection and Forge doesn't know that you've given a 0-parameter constructor and passed the block yourself.

 

In other words: you thought you were being clever and instead Forge is saying, "no you idiot, that's bad!"

 

public ItemBlockCoalGun(Block b) {
                super(b);
               
                setMaxStackSize(1);
                setUnlocalizedName("coal_gun");
        }

 

It's to insure that the Block you're registering the ItemBlock for is actually passed to the ItemBlock class.
