[1.8] Add a variant. Example : add new type of wood

Hi !

 

I decided yesterday to learn the way Minecraft handles block variants. Wood, wool...

As an experiment, I decided to create a new type of Wood Plank, an "hard" wood. It would be harder and have a bricky-woody texture.

I wanted to create a custom state with the new ExtendedBlockState.createState() from net.minecraftforge.common.property.

But it seems that works to changes states or compare when the state already exists initially in the block, which is obviously not the case here.

So I decided to check the metadata.

But it wouldn't work because I can't access the META_LOOKUP array of EnumType.

So tried another approach. And I ended up with

Block HardWood = (new BlockPlanks()).setHardness(1.5F).setResistance(10.0F).setStepSound(Block.soundTypePiston).setUnlocalizedName("hardWood");
        GameRegistry.registerBlock(HardWood, "hard_wood");
        Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(Item.getItemFromBlock(HardWood), 6, new ModelResourceLocation("stratification:hard_wood", "inventory"));

 

But it doesn't work either. I'm sure there is something I miss here.

Really ? But that's stupid. What's the point of the whole BlockState concepts then if it's not to allow easy use of variants ?

And what will happen when I will uninstall the mod ? I was hoping this method would allow easy reverse into the DefaultState that is specified in the BlockPlanks class.

Oh, the fact that there is no "default in case of uninstalled mod" block yeah, I was referring to the fact we can't make a Block with only small property changes just by "extending" and overriding the previous one without any problem (keeping most original properties), or at least not in the vanilla way.

 

If I'm completely wrong don't hesitate to tell me to get out check whatever documentation. I don't want to waste your time.

And there is absolutely no way to create a Block with same ID but different metadata ? I understand new entry in registry => new ID, is that really the only way ? If only we could just add a line in the Enum..

Couldn't addSubstitutionAlias() be used for this purpose ? I never used it, so I don't know, and it looks like something bad, but the road to heaven is paved with bad practices or something like that.

Just imagine two mods trying to do that at the same time.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
