[1.8] HELP: Block with timer

[CritiqualError]

Okay, so I have a bock, that when you break it, it turns into another block. I want that block to then start ticking down a timer and turn back into the original block.

 

How could I setup a block to tick, or a TileEntity to tick. I've been looking at tileentity tutorials but none seem to show me how to make a timer tick down or any sort of per tick function. i really need some help getting this to work. tileentities are still confusing to me and I'm get to get one to properly work.

You need a TileEntity for this.  Setting up a block to have a TileEntity is very easy.

 

Once you have a TileEntity you override

onUpdate

and voila, that method gets called every tick.

To make a ticking

TileEntity

in 1.8+, the

TileEntity

must implement

IUpdatePlayerListBox

[nobbc](1.[/nobbc] or

ITickable

(1.8.8/1.8.9).
