hey all in 1.7 i had a block that horizontally spread on a random tick but ive tried to update it with this but it wont work for some reason.

 

 

public void updateTick(World world, BlockPos pos, Random random) {

if (!world.isRemote) {

int x = pos.getX();

int y = pos.getY();

int z = pos.getZ();

BlockPos blockpos1 = pos.add(x - 1, y, z);

BlockPos blockpos2 = pos.add(x + 1, y, z);

BlockPos blockpos3 = pos.add(x, y, z - 1);

BlockPos blockpos4 = pos.add(x, y, z + 1);

 

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos1).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos1.add(x, y-1, z)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos1, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos2).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos2.add(x, y-1, z)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos2, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos3).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos3.add(x, y-1, z)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos3, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos4).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos4.add(x, y-1, z)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos4, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

 

}

}

Pretty sure that if you take a blockpos at (x,y,z) and add (x,y+1,z) to it you'll have (2x,2y+1,2z) not (x,y+1,z).

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

wait so it should be like this?

 

public void updateTick(World world, BlockPos pos, Random random) {

if (!world.isRemote) {

int x = pos.getX();

int y = pos.getY();

int z = pos.getZ();

BlockPos blockpos1 = pos.add(- 1, 0, 0);

BlockPos blockpos2 = pos.add(+ 1, 0, 0);

BlockPos blockpos3 = pos.add(0, 0, - 1);

BlockPos blockpos4 = pos.add(0, 0, + 1);

 

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos1).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos1.add(0, -1, 0)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos1, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos2).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos2.add(0, -1, 0)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos2, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos3).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos3.add(0, -1, 0)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos3, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos4).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos4.add(0, -1, 0)).getBlock() == Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos4, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

 

}

No, you add to the original BlockPos twice. You can just use the BlockPos parameter, and use the up(),down(),north(),etc. methods to add/subtract one.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

 

1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus.

 

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Still not working

 

public void updateTick(World world, BlockPos pos, Random random) {

if (!world.isRemote) {

int x = pos.getX();

int y = pos.getY();

int z = pos.getZ();

BlockPos blockpos1 = pos.north(+1);

BlockPos blockpos2 = pos.east(+1);

BlockPos blockpos3 = pos.south(+1);

BlockPos blockpos4 = pos.west(+1);

 

 

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos1).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos1.down()).getBlock() != Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos1, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos2).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos2.down()).getBlock() != Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos2, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos3).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos3.down()).getBlock() != Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos3, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

if (world.getBlockState(blockpos4).getBlock() == Blocks.air && world.getBlockState(blockpos4.down()).getBlock() != Blocks.air) {

world.setBlockState(blockpos4, this.getDefaultState(), 3);

}

 

}

}

I dont really get what you Are triing to do. You say you want the block to spread horizontally. Why are you using the north /south etc blockpositions then? If you want it to spread horizontally just check the Block above, if its air replace it

Btw did you ever checked if tick randomly gets Called? In 1.8 u need to use the setTickRandomly function to allow random ticks not sure about oder versions

 

public BacteriaTest(Material material) {

super(material);

 

this.setHardness(5.0F);

this.setResistance(18000000000.0F);

this.setBlockBounds(0F, 0F, 0F, 1F, 0.0001F, 1F);

this.setCreativeTab(BioWarfare.BioWarfareTab);

this.setTickRandomly(true);

 

}

Then, I suggest that you use a tileentity. I'm not sure, but I think that would work.

 

A TileEntity is not needed here.  This block doesn't need to store any information and isn't even using metadata.  It's simply trying to replace a neighboring block with itself.

 

I don't know why it's not working, but I also haven't messed with 1.8

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.
