I remember creating a bit of code before that worked for my campfire block - I tried to recreate that code from memory and it seems to not work. Am I missing something?

 

 

package gameslayar.practice.common.blocks;

import java.util.Random;

import gameslayar.practice.common.PracticeMain;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.properties.PropertyEnum;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.util.ChatComponentText;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumParticleTypes;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class BlockCampfire extends Block {

private final String name = "campfireBlock";

//Basic Properties
public BlockCampfire() {
	super(Material.wood);
	setUnlocalizedName(PracticeMain.MODID + "_" + name);
	setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
	setHarvestLevel("axe", 0);
	setHardness(2);
	setLightLevel(4);
	setBlockBounds(0F, 0F, 0F, 1F, 0.59375F, 1F);
	System.out.println("SET!");

	GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, name);

}

//***


//Makes sure that all the blocks around are rendered as well because 
//this isn't a full 1x1x1 block
@Override
public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
	return false;
}
//Corrects lighting around the block
@Override
public boolean isFullCube() {
	return false;
}

//Particle effects. Fancy fire & smoke.
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void randomDisplayTick(World world, BlockPos pos, Random random) {
	System.out.println("Attempting..");
	float f1 = (float)(pos.getX()+0.5F);
	float f2 = (float)(pos.getY()+0.7F);
	float f3 = (float)(pos.getZ()+0.5F);
	float f4 = random.nextFloat() * 0.1F;
	float f5 = random.nextFloat() * -0.1F;

	world.spawnParticle(
			EnumParticleTypes.FLAME,
			(float)(f1+f4),
			(float)(f2),
			(float)(f3+f5),
			0.0D,
			0.0D,
			0.0D,
			new int[0]);
	System.out.println("Attempt finished.");
}


//***

public String getName() {
	return name;
}
}

 

 

PS - The console shows no sign of the

[i]System.out[/i]

messages I put in, it's like

randomDisplayTick

isn't being run at all

You're missing the @Override annotation above #randomDisplayTick which, if you had put it there, would have informed you that you have the incorrect method signature, thus your method is never called and your particles never spawn.

Aha!

I was missing

IBlockState state,

!

 

Thanks so much, I was stressing so much over those silly particles

 

EDIT: For anyone else having a similar problem, the code should have been:

 

 

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void randomDisplayTick(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random random) {
