Okay - so I would have an intro of how I tried to make a sittable block but I got nothing.

Could someone please guide me into making something like this - for a chair, for example.

I was afraid of that.

-le sigh-

I'll try to make it, and I'll put my results back here - whether I'm successful or not.

Please do!  I've always thought about making my own chairs.

Take a look at how MrCrayFish did it in his Furniture Mod, I used that as a launching point for my own exploration

The problem with this is - I don't know whether I should feel guilty etc., since I'm basically copying Crayfish's code.

It seems well written, and I couldn't have done it better myself.

 

In terms of the modder community, would it be bad to copy a class or fragments of code from a class?

Read his license. That will tell you pretty clearly how he feels about source copying

 

If he's fine with it there's not too much of an issue.

Honestly, making a chairlike/mountable block isn't hard at all.

well thats for 1.7.10 i don't know what its like in 1.8 though. all you have to do is spawn a new nocollide entity and mount it instantly on right clicking the block. to prevent an overflow of entities in the world you just set the entity to kill itself if it has no rider. That is pretty much it.
