Okay, so basically. My mod makes items burnable. I want to make it so that DRY sponge is burnable but WET sponge is not burnable. However, every time i have tried to specify metadata, it doesn't work. I think its just a syntax thing or import I don't know. Here is my code for sponges:

 

//Sponges. Wet sponge burns too, need to figure out how to disable that.
			if (fuel.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.sponge)){
				return 200;
			}

 

Code examples are appreciated. I want to specify sponge:0 so that sponge:1 doesn't burn. the normal ids are 19:0 and 19:1 but I couldn't get that to work even after I changed

Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.sponge)

to

Item.getItemFromId(19:0)

Okay, how exactly do I do that...sorry I am really new to modding Minecraft in general and finding good 1.8 tutorials is really hard.

Still not 100% sure how to implement it. Everything I have tried has just thrown tons of errors.

Basically, I have issues implementing itemstack so that I can use the .getMetaData method.

 

 

 

 

Sure this is horribly wrong.

 

	if(fuel.getItem() == Item.getItemFromBlock().getMetadata(stack)){
				return 100;

An

Item

is an item type. An

ItemStack

is an individual stack of an item, it contains an

Item

, a metadata value, an optional NBT compound tag and zero or more capabilities (added by Forge).

 

You need to check that the fuel

ItemStack

's

Item

(

ItemStack#getItem

) is the item form of

Blocks.sponge

(

Item.getItemFromBlock

) and that its metadata (

ItemStack#getMetadata

) is 0. These are two separate equality expressions.
