[1.8] [Solved] Implement facing with unlisted properties

Recommended Posts

Hey, is it possible to accomplish a block that can face different directions, like a furnace, without using a lot of model files? The direction is stored in a tile entity which means I have to use an unlisted property.  I basically search something like the "y" attribute in block state files.

The furnace only uses a single model rotated around the y axis different amounts depending on the

facing

property.

 

Is there a reason you have to use an unlisted property? It's entirely possible to use a normal property whose value is set from a

TileEntity

in

Block#getActualState

or

Block#getExtendedState

, look at

BlockFlowerPot

for an example.

Yes, you can have as many states as you want; it's just that you can only store 16 possible states in the metadata. Beyond that you have to use a

TileEntity

and one of the two methods I mentioned. Most Forge and vanilla code uses

Block#getActualState

,

Block#getExtendedState

is only used for rendering

ISmartBlockModel

s and returns the result of

Block#getActualState

by default.
