Hello,

 

Goal: Find wood (trees) and later navigate to and chop the trees

 

Method: The entity I created implements a custom ai method that extends EntityAIBase.  It creates a list of blocks within a certain radius of the entity and finds blocks of interest.  I've tried to filter the list of nearby blocks using both the block name and id (deprecated?)  then printing the results.

 

Problem: Depending on where I place the entity it only sometimes finds something other than air even if it's standing near dirt, trees, or stone.

 

Question: What is a good way to find wood blocks near the entity?  It seems id's and names are useless in this endeavor.

 

Code:  A few of the support functions are removed for clarity.

    			for(int searchZ = (int) (this.entity.posX - searchRadius); searchZ < this.entity.posX + searchRadius; searchZ++){
    				searchPos = new BlockPos(searchX, searchY, searchZ);
    				searchBlock = Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.getBlockState(searchPos).getBlock();
    				searchID = searchBlock.getIdFromBlock(Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.getBlockState(searchPos).getBlock());
    				
    				if(searchID != 0){
    					searchIDs.add(searchID);
    				}
    			}
	    	}
    	}
    	testBool = true;
    	System.out.println("Start printing!");
    	for(int id: searchIDs){
    		System.out.println("ID: " + id);
    	}
    	System.out.println("Done printing!");
    	}
    }
}

 

Thanks for your attention!

Still looking for help on this.  I would imagine it's pretty straightforward but I can't seem to figure out how to detect wood.

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

 

I use the block but need to make sure it's the correct type of block. 

 

How do I ensure that the block it is looking at is wood, for example?  Names are useful for this, I guess ID's would be too if they weren't depreciated.  Do you mean to check equality (using the equality operator of the Block class) of some wood Block instance to the block we're looking at?

if checkedBlock == Blocks.log (Not sure if it was Blocks.log , might need to replace that.
