Hello,

 

I'm having a bit of trouble with my custom bean block. Whenever I load it in minecraft, it's displayed as tile.null.name instead of tile.BlockBean.name. What do I need to do to fix this?

Code for BlockBean class:

public class BlockBean extends BlockBush implements IGrowable {

protected int maxGrowthStage = 7;

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    protected IIcon[] iIcon;

    public BlockBean() {
    	// Basic block setup
        setTickRandomly(true);
        float f = 0.5F;
        setBlockBounds(0.5F - f, 0.0F, 0.5F - f, 0.5F + f, 0.25F, 0.5F + f);
        setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
        setHardness(0.0F);
        setStepSound(soundTypeGrass);
        disableStats();
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean canPlaceBlockOn(Block parBlock) {
        return parBlock == Blocks.farmland;
    }

    public void incrementGrowStage(World parWorld, Random parRand, int parX, int parY, int parZ) {
        int growStage = parWorld.getBlockMetadata(parX, parY, parZ) + MathHelper.getRandomIntegerInRange(parRand, 2, 5);
        if (growStage > maxGrowthStage)
        	growStage = maxGrowthStage;
        parWorld.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(parX, parY, parZ, growStage, 2);
    }
    
    @Override
    public Item getItemDropped(int p_149650_1_, Random parRand, int parFortune) {
        return CommonProxy.itemBean;
    }

    @Override
    public int getRenderType() {
        return 1; // Cross like flowers
    }

    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(int parSide, int parGrowthStage) {
    	return iIcon[parGrowthStage];
    }
    
    @Override
    public void updateTick(World parWorld, int parX, int parY, int parZ, Random parRand) {
        super.updateTick(parWorld, parX, parY, parZ, parRand);
        int growStage = parWorld.getBlockMetadata(parX, parY, parZ) + 1;
        if (growStage > 7)
            growStage = 7;
        parWorld.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(parX, parY, parZ, growStage, 2);
    }
    
    @Override
    public int quantityDropped(Random rand) {
        return 1;
    }
    
    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister parIIconRegister) {
          iIcon = new IIcon[maxGrowthStage + 1];
          // seems that crops like to have 8 growth icons, but okay to repeat actual texture if you want
          // to make generic should loop to maxGrowthStage
          iIcon[0] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_0");
          iIcon[1] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_1");
          iIcon[2] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_2");
          iIcon[3] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_3");
          iIcon[4] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_4");
          iIcon[5] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_5");
          iIcon[6] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_6");
          iIcon[7] = parIIconRegister.registerIcon("nw:BlockBean_stage_7");
    }
   
    /*
     * Need to implement the IGrowable interface methods
     */
    @Override
    // checks if finished growing (a grow stage of 7 is final stage)
    public boolean func_149851_a(World parWorld, int parX, int parY, int parZ, boolean p_149851_5_) {
        return parWorld.getBlockMetadata(parX, parY, parZ) != 7;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean func_149852_a(World p_149852_1_, Random parRand, int p_149852_3_, int p_149852_4_, int p_149852_5_) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void func_149853_b(World parWorld, Random parRand, int parX, int parY, int parZ) {
        incrementGrowStage(parWorld, parRand, parX, parY, parZ);
    }
}

You should set the block's name.. (by setBlockName or setUnlocalizedName)

Thanks! setUnlocalizedName was unavailable (which was what I was trying to do), but setBlockName did the trick!

setUnlocalizedName() is for naming items

setBlockName() is for naming blocks
