so that's the error i'm getting every time i try to place my tile entity block in the world. i know it needs to be registered... but how

you cant just put "GameRegistry.registerTileEntity..." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

can anyone tell me how?

~thanks

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(MyTileEntity.class, 15);

 

You could maybe try this

It was just a rondom number, to show you you can register from 0 - nearly infinite. Just wanted to help Sir Perfect

what about proxy.registerTileEntity(); thing? do i need it?

You can keep it, but its not necessary, just have a method in your clientproxy in which you register all your tileentities. If you wanna make it a bit more easy and don't wanna have all that GameRegistry.registerTileEntity stuff for each of your tiles-use this generic method:

 

private void setupTile(Class<? extends TileEntity> class1, TileEntitySpecialRenderer render) {
	try {
		ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(class1, render.getClass().newInstance());
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
		}
		GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(class1, class1.getName());
}

It takes in the TileEntity and the relatet renderer

No, don't do that - render classes can only be registered on the CLIENT, whereas TileEntities themselves need to be registered on both sides (i.e. 'common' code).

 

You are just asking to crash your mod when you play it multiplayer by writing code like that - rendering registrations should all be in the ClientProxy.

 

EDIT: I reread your post and see that snippet IS in your ClientProxy, in which case are you also registering the TileEntities on the server? Because the server will need to know about them, too, and it won't if they only get registered in the ClientProxy.

i didn't use his code, just to be bit more organized i created new class where i register all of my tileentities... and it works fine

No actually they don't - thanks for that
