i want to know how how to change the orientation of my meta data blocks by on where i stand when placing them does anyone know how to do it here is my block file

package TheCivilizationMod;

import java.util.List;

import net.minecraft.src.Block;
import net.minecraft.src.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.src.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.src.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.src.Material;
import net.minecraft.src.MathHelper;
import net.minecraft.src.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ForgeDirection;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.asm.SideOnly;

public class glass extends Block{
public glass(int id, int texture){
	super(id, texture, Material.rock);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
	this.setRequiresSelfNotify();


}
public String getTextureFile(){
	return "/Mod/MultiBlocks.png";
}

public int getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(int side, int meta) {
        switch(meta) {
                case 0:
                        switch(side) {
                        case 0: return 22;
                        
                                case 1: return 22;
                                case 2: return 22;
                                case 3: return 0;
                                default: return 22;
                         }
                case 1:
                	switch(side) {
                    case 0: return 23;
                    
                            case 1: return 23;
                            case 2: return 23;
                            case 3: return 0;
                            default: return 23;
                        	 
                        
              

        }
	return side;
}

    
@Override
public int damageDropped(int meta){
	return meta;
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void getSubBlocks(int par1, CreativeTabs tab, List list){
	for(int NumOfMets=0; NumOfMets<2; NumOfMets++){
		list.add(new ItemStack(par1, 1, NumOfMets));

	}
}
}

You need a TileEntity to do that.

 

Basically you have to make a simple variable like "orientation" where to store the orientation. After that you should use a ISimpleBlockRender too to change the actual block orientation depending on TileEntity data.

 

I don't know if you can find any readytouse code, you may want to check out UE wich is public in github.

You don't need a TileEntity. In fact, that's more downsides than anything else...

 

Like DarkGuardsman said, you get the players rotation. But that's a float, and you can't use that on MetaData.

 

I have a block that can have horizontal rotation, which depends pretty much on the player's Yaw angle.

So I have this function on my Helper class:

 

public static int yaw2dir(float yaw){
	int dir = (MathHelper.floor_double((double)(yaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 0.5D) & 3)+3;
	if(dir > 4) dir -= 4;
	switch(dir){
		case 1: return dirZPos;
		case 2: return dirXNeg;
		case 3: return dirZNeg;
		case 4: return dirXPos;
		default: return 0;
	}
}

 

When the block is placed, I call that function with player.rotationYaw, and it returns the block's orientation (facing the player). I then proceed to set that value as the block's Metadata.

 

It is later used by my block's renderer to decide what texture to use on each face.

Did I help? Hitting 'Thank You' would be appreciated.

 

Soon, the lost city will rise from the bottom of the ocean, and spread it's technology across Minecraft.

I'm not sure... that why I have them on constants instead of directly using the value :P

They should be pretty easy to figure out though, at least they were to me...

If you're still having problems with this, perhaps try looking at the vanilla log block code, from what I can tell, you're trying to do exactly the same thing as the vanilla log does

no the way that does it is by a single textured block with multiple side (only 1 texture) i have multiple blocks with the metadata each with a different texture.

look at the vanilla furnace code, that changes the meta data of the block dependent on where the player is facing(which i think is what you are trying to achieve :) )

i have but that does it through textures but i have to do mine without having to chage the texture because its a meta data block that changes oreintation each block has a different texture

i don't think it is as complex as it seems, so i wrote out a little example below. This probably wont work straight off, but it may give you something to start on :).

 

try declaring an int for the orientation, then 6 arrays, one for each block side.

int orientation;
int side1[];
int side2[];
// etc.

 

then write out the arrays so that array[orientation] = the texture icon you want.

 

int side1[] = {1,1,1,0};
int side2[] = {1,1,0,1};
//etc.

 

then use getBlockTextureFromSide

public int getBlockTextureFromSide(int side){
switch(side){
case 1:
return side1[orientation];
break;
case 2:
return side2[orientation];
break;
//etc.
}
}

 

then use this tutorial to help you save the variable orientation so that it is not reset when the client is closed.

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
