Block Rotation

[Chlod]

What do I do if I want a block to rotate. Similar to the furnace, when you place it, it always gets placed with the front facing you. Thanks.

public class Slide extends Block{

protected Slide(Material p_i45394_1_) {
	super(p_i45394_1_);
        this.slipperiness = 1.5F;
        this.setTickRandomly(true);
}

}

Look into IIcon in regards to taking side/meta data parameters.

 

Also,

 

Depending on 1.7.x or 1.8 you may find BlockState or otherwise.

 

Reference block code on this tutorial for example of 1.8 code:

For 1.7.10 I'd recommend:

bedrockminer.jimdo.com/modding-tutorials/basic-modding-1-7/multi-texture-blocks/

 

You can also look at vanilla furnace or crafting table (work bench in class name) as they use front, side and top textures.

Looks like you are on 1.7.x - you'll want to override #onBlockPlacedBy which is called when a player places the block, and then #getIcon to return the appropriate texture based on the side and current metadata. You can basically copy the implementations from BlockFurnace provided that you are not using metadata for anything else, though I would recommend you take some time to understand how it works.

This is my blocks. I want to merge #2 and #8, #3 and #9, #4 and #5 and #6 and #7 blocks. I mean, it'll be new blocks, that'll be rotate its upper texture due to yaw of player who placed this blocks.

 

Please, learn me, how to do it?
