[SOLVED][1.8.9] Trying to add slabs with metadata.

Recommended Posts

UPDATE 5-8-2016: I have now figured out how to get my slabs working, and I have updated this post with the working code. The original post can be seen in the spoiler at the bottom. Thanks for the help, everyone! If you have any questions about certain parts of my code or suggestions on how to do it better let me know!

 

Working Code for slabs with additional blockstates/metadata in Minecraft 1.8.9:

Original Post:

 

I'm trying to add slabs with metadata to my mod, but so far I'm not having too much success. I know how slabs work in game (they're 2 different blocks: a half-slab block with at least 2 blockstates and a double slab block that's basically just a normal block that drops 2 of the former) and that you're supposed to have an abstract slab class (BlockColoreSlab), a half slab class (BlockColoreSlabHalf), a double slab class (BlockColoreSlabDouble), and an item-block class (ItemBlockColoreSlab), but I have no idea how to get them working right. I have the metadata on the slabs set up with 2 properties: "SHADE" and "HALF". "SHADE" has 5 different values: normal, light, lighter, dark, and darker, and "HALF" has, of course, just 2 values and determines whether the block is a top slab of bottom slab (if it is even a half slab.) So for example I'm trying to add a Slab of Red that uses the metadata to determine both the color and which type of slab it is. (Values 0-4 are bottom slabs and 5-9 are top slabs. Double slabs just have values 0-4.) At this point I haven't created any model, texture, or other .json files for any of the slabs, and neither have I put them in the .lang file, as I'm just trying to get them functional right now.

 

Here's what happens when I launch the game:

The game doesn't crash, and the half-slabs can be placed like regular slabs, and have the same hitboxes. However, they can't be stacked into double slabs. Both the regular and the double slabs show up in the creative tab I have created for them, though the double slabs shouldn't be there. Both the half and double variants of the slabs have the same name in the creative menu. (For example, the slab_of_red with a SHADE state of "NORMAL" shows as tile.slab_of_red.normal.name, and its double variant shows with the exact same name, but when viewed in F3+H mode, you can see their actual code names of colore:slab_of_red and colore:slab_of_red_double... I'm not sure if this is normal or not, as I have not tried to create any .json files or textures yet.)

 

Anyway, here are the slab classes and the classes I use to register my blocks. If you need to see any more, just let me know. See the top of the post for the current state of how things are working. (I'll update it as I fix things and make progress...)

If you need to see any other classes, just let me know and I'll update this post.

Are you sure that you need BlockSlabHalf and BlockSlabDouble? I'm not seeing such an arrangement in Vanilla slabs. It sounds like your mechanism for changing one into the other is incomplete.

The debugger is a powerful and necessary tool in any IDE, so learn how to use it. You'll be able to tell us more and get better help here if you investigate your runtime problems in the debugger before posting.

...And, 2 months later, after a lot of time being busy and being unable to work on my mod, I have recently been able to get my slabs working! Yay! ;D

Vanilla does have similar classes... see BlockHalfStoneSlab and BlockDoubleStoneSlab.

Hi

 

Look in ItemSlab.onItemUse() to see how vanilla turns two half-slabs into a whole slab

 

-TGG

 

Thanks for the suggestion! After looking around in the ItemSlab class I was able to figure out how to get the half-slabs and double-slabs to be associated with each other, and I also learned quite a bit about how the slabs and a lot of other Minecraft code works in the process. (Discovered ItemSlab's this.singleSlab, which I had to indirectly access the values by creating a private variable in my ItemBlockColoreSlab class which I assigned the value of this.singleSlab, and then created setter & getter methods so I could easily-ish convert between a double slab as input in a method to its single slab counterpart.) I also cleaned up and simplified a lot of my code (thanks for adding the getRegistryName() & findBlock() methods, Forge team) and have a much better (but still not yet perfect) understanding of the Minecraft/Forge code.

 

For those who are having the same problem as me, I will update the main post with my new code, which I think would work as a better template for slabs with additional metadata/blockstates than the current 1.8 slabs tutorial on these forums. Note that I have renamed BlockRegistry.java & BlockRenderRegistry.java to ModBlocks.java & BlockRenders respectively, since those are more in line with the standard naming conventions and I think they make more sense than what I had before.

 

I would like to note that I am not fully satisfied with how I handle getting the name of a double slab's single/half slab counterpart. (See my comments in the updated code.) It feels a little indirect & hacky to me, and if anyone has any suggestions for a better way, please let me know. I really want my code to be clean and not use hacky, indirect ways of getting things to work.
