[1.8] how to properly get all the info a block


DJD

Recommended Posts

What is the best way to take a block that exists in the world and generate all the known info about that block (including its current states, etc) ?

 

I can get the Base state (and then there's default state- not really sure what the real difference is but I'm sure its something crucial) and list its IProperties, but not the current value that they are set to.

 

I think it would clarify (at least in my mind) the proper way to use Blockstates and IBlockStates to do things in world.

 

Maybe its just late here for me or I really am confused... Probably both.... :D

Use

World#getBlockState

to get the current block state at the specified position, then use

IBlockState#getValue

to get the value of each property.

 

Some blocks have properties that aren't stored in the metadata (e.g. connection state of panes), you can use

Block#getExtendedState

to get an

IBlockState

with the actual values of these properties.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

I think my confusion is that since I'm new to modding this game, the previous version (1.7) did things differently and when I look for examples, I get stuff that's for the previous version.

 

The info out there seems a bit muddled right now for a newbie, and depending on which version you are modding for. I'm sure things will clear up just in time for 1.9 to hit :D

 

I've got a basic mod working (proxies, commands, extended player properties etc) and a very basic cut/paste model (that's where I need to get and save all the properties of the blockstate). Now I want to get a list of each block selected and its various properties (in vanilla of course).....

 

So much to do :D

    • Hey folks. I am working on a custom "Mecha" entity (extended from LivingEntity) that the player builds up from blocks that should get modular stats depending on the used blocks. e.g. depending on what will be used for the legs, the entity will have a different jump strength. However, something unexpected is happening when trying to override a few of LivingEntity's functions and using my new own "Mecha" specific fields: instead of their actual instance-specific value, the default value is used (0f for a float, null for an object...) This is especially strange as when executing with the same entity from a point in the code specific to the mecha entity, the correct value is used. Here are some code snippets to better illustrate what I mean: protected float jumpMultiplier; //somewhere later during the code when spawning the entity, jumpMultiplier is set to something like 1.5f //changing the access to public didn't help @Override //Overridden from LivingEntity, this function is only used in the jumpFromGround() function, used in the aiStep() function, used in the LivingEntity tick() function protected float getJumpPower() { //something is wrong with this function //for some reason I can't correctly access the fields and methods from the instanciated entity when I am in one of those overridden protected functions. this is very annoying LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 0f return this.jumpMultiplier * super.getJumpPower(); } //The code above does not operate properly. Written as is, the entity will not jump, and adding debug logs shows that when executing the code, the value of this.jumpMultiplier is 0f //in contrast, it will be the correct value when done here: @Override public void tick() { super.tick(); //inherited LivingEntity logic //Custom logic LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 1.5f } My actual code is slightly different, as the jumpMuliplier is stored in another object (so I am calling "this.legModule.getJumpPower()" instead of the float), but even using a simple float exactly like in the code above didn't help. When running my usual code, the object I try to use is found to be null instead, leading to a crash from a nullPointerException. Here is the stacktrace of said crash: The full code can be viewed here. I have found a workaround in the case of jump strength, but have already found the same problem for another parameter I want to do, and I do not understand why the code is behaving as such, and I would very much like to be able to override those methods as intended - they seemed to work just fine like that for vanilla mobs... Any clues as to what may be happening here?
    • Please delete post. Had not noticed the newest edition for 1.20.6 which resolves the issue.
    • https://paste.ee/p/GTgAV Here's my debug log, I'm on 1.18.2 with forge 40.2.4 and I just want to get it to work!! I cant find any mod names in the error part and I would like some help from the pros!! I have 203 mods at the moment.
    • In 1.20.6 any potion brewed in the brewing stand disappears upon completion.
    • My game crashes whenever I click on Singleplayer then it crashes after the "Saving world". I'm playing on fabric 1.20.1 on forge for the easy instance loading. My game is using 12GB of RAM, I tried deleting the options.txt, and also renaming the saves file but neither worked. Here's the crash report link: https://mclo.gs/qByOqVK
