[RESOLVED] Rotating a "blockCrop" to grow upside down? [1.7.10]

[WeiseGuy]

This is in 1.7.10.

 

I want to make a plant grow upside down. I have my blockCrop working just fine as far as growing properly, can stay on my custom soil, ticks properly, etc.

 

However, since it's growing upside down I need to rotate the blockPlant (the block itself) 180 degrees when its placed by my "seed" item and can't seem to get it working.

 

I am trying to override onBlockAdded so when its added by the seed's onItemUse it rotates, and I'm failing with what I assume is the axis parameter.

 

http://pastebin.com/PijrLeHJ is the snippet of code I'm overriding. Am I on the right track or completely off here? Is there another method I can pass to rotate it? Am I using the wrong event? I feel like it's a matter of manipulating the axis parameter based on the java documentation, but I'm not getting it.

 

EDIT: I know I can rotate the texture 180 in any editor and it would give the same look, but because its a crop, the bound box is still at the bottom so I get a floating wireframe. Do I need to set the bounding box myself and rotate the texture? Or is there a way to just rotate the block as it seems much more probably to do a rotation of the block over the X or Z axis.

Set a new bounding box.

Set a new bounding box.

 

Alright, so bottom line the blockRotate isn't doing what I think it's doing or intended for that. Block bounds it is...

 

Any clue as to when one would use blockRotate?

[Draco18s]

Block bounds are not affected by rotation because they are axis aligned.

[WeiseGuy]

Makes complete sense, thank you. Got it all functioning just fine. Crops grow upside down, bound box even changes based on growth state (metadata).

 

Still curious when one would want to use blockRotate, but that will be for another day.

Who knows. Maybe with something like this?

Seriously though Lex would *probably strangle me if saw my source.

 

RIP the Axis-Aligned in bounding boxes

Wow, that platform though, haha. Awesome stuff.

 

I'm marking topic resolved, thanks again for the help getting it done. I'd love to see blockRotate in some source somewhere, but I'll search on git later....time to work on other projects
