[1.8.9] BlockState comparisons?

[KeeganDeathman]

I had this in my 1.7.10 mod

if(metadata > 3)

To see if my furnace was burning. How would I do this in blockstate form?

Have a BOOLEAN property for BURNING - check out any of the vanilla toggleable blocks such as doors, levers, pressure plates, etc. All of them have some sort of boolean property. Do the same.

If you extended the vanilla BlockFurnace class, then there's already a boolean "isBurning". It's not a property, perhaps because furnace block types get swapped instead of changing state.

 

The boolean is private, but you can crack it using reflection to force the field to be readable. Alternatively, you could simply have your constructor save the isBurning parameter into your own copy (mimic the vanilla block's constructor). Don't forget to call super.
