When I was trying to make a new ore for the mod and eclipse and minecraft don't like it when it is almost the same exact code as the other blocks but I may have messed up somewhere. yes I did extended the block and did the constructer here is the code for the stuff that is causing me problems.

 

Package:

package pixelpacker.testmod;

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

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

 

@Mod(modid = "tm", name = "Test Mod", version = "1.0")

public class TestMod {

 

public static Item itemTable;

 

public static Block blockTable;

 

public static Block blockTest;

 

public static Block blockPixinite;

 

 

@EventHandler

    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){

 

blockPixinite = new BlockPixinite().setUnlocalizedName("BlockPixinite").setTextureName("tm:PixiniteOre").setCreativeTab(tabTestMod);

 

itemTable = new ItemTable().setUnlocalizedName("ItemTable").setTextureName("tm:itemtable").setCreativeTab(tabTestMod);

 

GameRegistry.registerItem(itemTable, itemTable.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)); 

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockPixinite, blockPixinite.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

@EventHandler

public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {

 

  GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(itemTable, 10), new Object[]{"WWW",

                                                            " W ",

                                                            " W ", 'W', Blocks.planks});

     

    }

    @EventHandler

    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {

   

   

    }

    public static CreativeTabs tabTestMod = new CreativeTabs("tabTestMod"){

    @Override

    public Item getTabIconItem(){

        return new ItemStack(blockTest).getItem();

    }

    };

}

   

 

The line of code in question:

blockPixinite = new BlockPixinite().setUnlocalizedName("BlockPixinite").setTextureName("tm:PixiniteOre").setCreativeTab(tabTestMod);

 

Pixinite code:

package pixelpacker.testmod;

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

 

public class BlockPixinite extends Block {

 

protected BlockPixinite(Material material) {

super(material);

// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}

 

 

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

Please - learn Java before modding.

 

1. Constructor can't be protected - make it public to be able to use it outside inheriting classes.

2. Constructor takes Material as argument, you can't construct it without it. Material.class (lookup vanilla).
