[1.8.9] Make items inaccessible from /give

[Cliff122]

Hi! 

 

Just a quick question here, I have implemented some custom signs in my minecraft mod and I was wondering if there is any way to "hide" the wallsign and standing sign blocks from commands like /give and such, like the vanilla signblocks.

/give

will always be able to give the player any registered

Item

, but not every

Block

has an

Item

form. Calling an overload of

GameRegistry.registerBlock

that has a

Class<? extends ItemBlock>

argument and passing

null

as that argument will register the

Block

without creating an

ItemBlock

for it.

 

Vanilla does this for its signs: there's no

ItemBlock

form for either sign

Block

, there's a completely separate

Item

(an instance of

ItemSign

) that places the appropriate

Block

depending on where the player clicked.

Oops, must have misspelled the title. I meant blocks of course.

 

Anyway, that worked! Thank you once again Choonster, your quick replies and detailed explanations are really helpful.
