Hey guys, do you know how is the best way to store values from the tile entity in a block / itemstack, so they can be re-add when the block is placed again?

Well, currently I'm using that, but the player can still get the block when it is broke in creative. How can I check if it is creative or not?

 

I mean, is there any problem by using !Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode in the breakBlock(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state) method?

In order to get the tile entity (!= null), I'm using the breakBlock(), instead of dropBlockAsItemWithChance(), or harvestBlock(), both return a null tile entity.

 

So, I'm setting the tag in an itemstack and spawning it before the super.breakBlock(). When I do this, it will spawn an extra block, so I need to override the getItemDropped() to null. However, when I do that, it will always drop an item, even in creative.

Nice. But I still have a problem. When I destroy the tile entity in survival, it is not completely destroyed, I can still collide with it, and when I right click it, the block returns. Am I doing something wrong?

 

 

 

@Override

public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune)

{

return null;

}

 

@Override

public boolean removedByPlayer(World world, BlockPos pos, EntityPlayer player, boolean willHarvest)

{

if (willHarvest)

return true;

return super.removedByPlayer(world, pos, player, willHarvest);

}

 

@Override

public void harvestBlock(World world, EntityPlayer player, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, TileEntity te)

{

super.harvestBlock(world, player, pos, state, te);

world.setBlockToAir(pos);

}

 

@Override

public List<ItemStack> getDrops(IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, int fortune)

{

List<ItemStack> drops = super.getDrops(worldIn, pos, state, fortune);

 

TileEntity tileEntity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

if (tileEntity instanceof MyTile)

{

MyTile myTile= (MyTile) tileEntity;

drops.add(this.getThisBlockWithTag(myTile, pos));

for (ItemStack itemStack : myTile.getInventory())

drops.add(itemStack);

}

return drops;

}

 

private ItemStack getThisBlockWithTag(MyTile myTile, BlockPos pos)

{

ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(BlockRegistry.myBlock);

if (myTile != null)

{

NBTTagCompound compound = new NBTTagCompound();

compound.setByte("var1", (byte) myTile.getVar1());

 

[...]

 

stack.setTagCompound(compound);

}

return stack;

}

 

 

 

 

Thanks, that makes sense and I would not notice that, haha.

 

Well, now it's working right. I was using debug, so I've closed mc and tried again. Weird
