In items, I found a way to change what an item displays as by returning

@Override
public String getItemStackDisplayName(ItemStack stack) {
	return displayName;
}

However, I can't find an equivalent method for blocks. Does anyone know some way that I could achieve this effect for a block?

Thanks!

Depending on why your want to do this there may be a far simpler way ...

 

are you just doing this so that it doesn't display as modid.ble.ble.item.name?

 

if so look up how to make a lang file.

Block's don't exist in your inventory. In your inventory, they are represented as an ItemBlock. ItemBlock extends Item, so if you make a new class extending ItemBlock, you can override that method to change the name in your inventory. To register it, pass it as an argument in your

GameRegistry.registerBlock

call.
