[1.8.0] How to allow EXISTING in game items to be used as fuels

[boredherobrine13]

Hey so I am making my first mod but I am having serious issues allowing items and blocks to be used as fuels. This is referring to already in game items such as diamonds. I have been using the wiki so far but the code there doesn't seem to work for making an item usable as a fuel. Please tell me how? Sorry if this has already been asked, I am having issues with using the search feature on this forum (never loads search results and just stays on page). I am a N00b with little ADVANCED java knowledge looking to make a simple mod, so please be friendly. If I'm doing something obviously stupid, please just tell me.

P.S. I know it does say at that link that the tutorial is for 1.4.7-1.6.4 but I have no idea what else to use since no real 1.7.x or 1.8.x tutorials are available.

Fuel for what? You want it to fuel existing furnaces, or you've created your own machine/furnace that needs fuel?

[boredherobrine13]

Fuel existing furnaces. I am basically just making a tweak mod allowing certain items to be used as fuels that cant be used as fuels in vanilla.

There is the

IFuelHandler

interface, which you can use. Make a class implementing that interface. There's one method you have to implement in which is pretty self-explanatory. You register that class through

GameRegistry.registerFuelHandler(IFuelHandler)

.

This is a tutorial for minecraft version 1.7.10:

 

If you have all this, you can just add diamonds to the list instead of the 'tree pitch' he's using.

 

if (fuel.getItem() == Items.diamond) {
return 5000;
}

Thank you so much, best answer.

Hey. It's me again. So I managed to get things with items working...but what do I need to do if I need to make a block fuel. I tried this code and It didnt work. Couldn't find a fuel.getBlock.

 

		if(fuel.getItem() == Blocks.deadbush){
		return 50;
	}

[larsgerrits]

Use

Item.getItemFromBlock(Block)

[/code] to get the Item value of a Block. Use that to compare the Item from the fuel

ItemStack

.

[boredherobrine13]

I tried this. Gives me an error "block cannot be resolved to a variable." I feel like I am most likely just missing something here obvious but here is my code, any hints?

 

	if(Item.getItemFromBlock(block) == Blocks.deadbush){
		return 50;
	}

[boredherobrine13]

Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for the help guys!

 

if(fuel.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.deadbush)){
		return 50;
	}
