[SOLVED][1.8] Change quantityDropped depending on TileEntity data

[Reygok]

Hi, I made a block which uses a TileEntity, and depending on it's state (which can be found out by looking at the tileEntity) it should drop a different amount of blocks when destroyed. However, since the "quantityDropped" method doesn't have anything to access the world, to scan the tileEntity, I have no idea how to change this amount.

Since I cannot store anything in the block via variables, I have to access the tileEntity.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Reygok

There are actually three different versions of quantityDropped that take different parameters. One of them is:

 

    public int quantityDropped(IBlockState state, int fortune, Random random)

Oh god, I'm so blind, I didn't find the third one... Thanks

[Reygok]

Hm wait, I have no idea how to access the TileEntity when I only have the state...

Why do you want to access your TE if you want to make the drops depending on the state?

[Reygok]

Because it is way easier to save the information I need in the TileEntity, than to check the 255 possible states I realized that just now, will reformulate the title and first post now.

Override the

getDrops()

method, it givs you full control over the drops and gains you access the the World and the BlockPos.

The problem there seems to be that when this method is called, the tileEntity at that blockPos is already gone, since it gives ame a Nullpointerexception here:

TileEntityTinyBlock tileEntity = (TileEntityTinyBlock) worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
int count = tileEntity.count();              <---- THERE

Awesome, thanks, it works now
