[1.7.10] Tile entity extent multiblock

[Dijkstra]

I have a multiblock that when complete all four blocks have there own tile entity but i want them to share the same one is this possible?

[Failender]

dont do that. work with a master slave system, choosing one main block and let all other reference to the master

[Dijkstra]

my multiblock is made all of the same block and would not make sense to have one that if different

[Abastro]

Or make external master object. One can say that this is bad approach, but I had done mine well in this way.

[Dijkstra]

you mean have you first block look for the other three and if the other 3 find one already place then do nothing something like that?

When I did this for my millstone, I used metadata to define which block held which position.  When the multiblock was incomplete, they are all metadata 0.  When the 3x3 (just the stone portion, the windvanes and axel form a secondary multiblock) is formed, it updates the full form with each position's meta.

 

Then when the user tries to interact I check the metadata and if its an "invalid" for the action, nothing happens.

 

For what you're doing, you can do something similar.  Simply pick a point in the formation that will act as the "master" and when the user tries to interact with any of them, just forward the interaction to the master block: you know where it is, so just call world.getBlock(masterX, masterY, masterZ).action(world, masterX, masterY, masterZ)
