[1.9] registering blocks/items in 1.9[SOLVED]

[winnetrie]

I managed to update to 1.8 but i also wanted to get asap to 1.9.

There i'm struggling with the registering of blocks and items.

in 1.8 i use this:

GameRegistry.registerBlock(bricks = new Bricks("bricks",Material.rock,2,2), ItemBlockMeta.class, "bricks");

 

but in 1.9 registerBlock is deprecated it looks like this:

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(bricks = new Bricks("bricks",Material.rock,2,2), ItemBlockMeta.class, "bricks");

It still works but i want to know what the new "way" is to register it

[winnetrie]

So i tried something but i can't make it work.

I have this:

final String colors[] = {"white","orange","magenta","light_blue","yellow","lime","pink","gray","silver","cyan","purple","blue","brown","green","red","black"};
	ResourceLocation[] resLoc = new ResourceLocation[16];
	for (int i=0; i < 16; i++)
	resLoc[i] = new ResourceLocation("tem:bricks_" + colors[i]);
	ModelBakery.registerItemVariants(Item.getItemFromBlock(bricks), resLoc);
	bricks = new Bricks("bricks",Material.rock,2,2);
	ItemBlock bricksItemBlock = new ItemBlock(bricks);
	GameRegistry.register(bricks, resLoc);
	GameRegistry.register(bricksItemBlock, resLoc);

 

i have a red line under "register" saying this:

The method register(K, ResourceLocation) in the type GameRegistry is not applicable for the arguments (Block, ResourceLocation[])

 

[winnetrie]

So , i tried following your steps and i did this:

bricks = new Bricks("bricks",Material.rock,2,2);
	ItemBlock bricksItemBlock = new ItemBlockMeta(bricks);
	GameRegistry.register(bricks.setRegistryName(bricks.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));
	GameRegistry.register(bricksItemBlock.setRegistryName(bricks.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));

 

This seems to work fine except the textures for the items are not showing up.

The blocks (or better the itemblocks) are all there in the creative tab

They have the right name also, but they have all the black/pink texture.

If i use them ( so placing a block down) , the block placed has the right texture.

 

So what am i doing wrong. Why are the item textures for my blocks not showing?

[winnetrie]

Can you also explain, why i should not use unlocalizedname?

What should i use instead? Do i need to make my own method for it?

 

i figured that this:

GameRegistry.register(bricksItemBlock.setRegistryName(bricks.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));

sets the registryname to "bricks" while this:

GameRegistry.register(bricks.setRegistryName(bricks.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));

gives me "bricks_white","bricks_orange", etc etc.

I do not understand why that is? why does it return for brick the right unlocalizedname and for the itemblock not?

 

Also i tested it just to be sure if i change the itemblock registry to this:

GameRegistry.register(bricksItemBlock.setRegistryName("bricks_orange"));

then the texture works but ofc only for the orange block

As you can see i need to change the "--COLORS HERE--"

I have no idea how to do it? I tried many things but still

[LexManos]

Isn't this so much cleaner... and it does the EXACT same thing as your code.... You really need to go and learn some basic code style/java instead of copy pasting tutorials.

[winnetrie]

It does indeed looks cleaner.

I didn't just copy pasted tutorials.

For this class i followed a tutorial for 1.8 from MrCrayFish on youtube.

He explains why you need those method, what they do and where you can get them.

So i copy-pasted the methods from the minecraft block.class over to mine and then i changed them to what i need.

That switch statement wasn't even shown in his tutorial.

I know i need to learn more java, i'm trying to pick it up while modding.

As in fact i have some programming knowledge of c++

I don't want to copy paste stuff without knowing and understanding what it does.

 

I see to get the specialname you return the enumtype and chanhe them to lowercase. That's nice!

EDIT:

I need to (i think) get the "specialname" into the place of "--COLORS HERE--"

setRegistryName("--COLORS HERE--"+"_bricks");
        setUnlocalizedName(this.getRegistryName().toString());

I don't know how to do this.

[winnetrie]

Oh yes i see.

It seems to work now:

bricks = new Bricks("bricks",Material.rock,2,2);
	bricksItemBlock = new ItemBlockMeta(bricks);
	GameRegistry.register(bricks.setRegistryName("bricks"));
	GameRegistry.register(bricksItemBlock.setRegistryName("bricks"));
	final String colors[] = {"white","orange","magenta","light_blue","yellow","lime","pink","gray","silver","cyan","purple","blue","brown","green","red","black"};
	ResourceLocation[] resLoc = new ResourceLocation[16];
	for (int i=0; i < 16; i++)
	resLoc[i] = new ResourceLocation("tem:bricks_" + colors[i]);
	ModelBakery.registerItemVariants(Item.getItemFromBlock(bricks), resLoc);

and for my block i have this now:

 

package com.winnetrie.tem.blocks;

	super(material);

        this.setCreativeTab(tem.testtab);
        this.setHardness(hardness);
        this.setResistance(resistance);
        this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(TYPE, EnumType.WHITE));

}

}
@Override
public int damageDropped(IBlockState state) {
    return getMetaFromState(state);
}
@Override
public void getSubBlocks(Item itemIn, CreativeTabs tab, List list) {
	for (EnumType t : EnumType.values())
    list.add(new ItemStack(itemIn, 1, t.ordinal()));  
}

@Override
public String getSpecialName(ItemStack stack) {
	return EnumType.values()[stack.getItemDamage()].name().toLowerCase();
}
@Override
public ItemStack getPickBlock(IBlockState state, RayTraceResult target, World world, BlockPos pos, EntityPlayer player)
    {
        return getItem(world, pos, state);
}

public enum EnumType implements IStringSerializable{

	WHITE(0, "white"), ORANGE(1, "orange"), MAGENTA(2, "magenta"), LIGHTBLUE(3, "light_blue"), YELLOW(4, "yellow"), LIME(5, "lime"), PINK(6, "pink"), GRAY(7, "gray"), 
	SILVER(8, "silver"), CYAN(9, "cyan"), PURPLE(10, "purple"), BLUE(11, "blue"), BROWN(12, "brown"), GREEN(13, "green"), RED(14, "red"), BLACK(15, "black");

    private int ID;
    private String name;
   
    private EnumType(int ID, String name) {
        this.ID = ID;
        this.name = name;
            
    }
    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public int getID() {
        return ID;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return getName();
    }
}

}

 

I tried Lexmanos his simple and much cleaner version of  "public enum EnumType" but that doesn't work at all

When i try this it gives me an error at this:

public static final PropertyEnum TYPE = PropertyEnum.create("type", Bricks.EnumType.class);

a red line appear under "create" saying this :

 

Bound mismatch: The generic method create(String, Class<T>) of type PropertyEnum<T> is not applicable for the arguments (String, Class<Bricks.EnumType>). The inferred type Bricks.EnumType is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter <T extends Enum<T> & IStringSerializable>

 

i could fix that with implementing IStringSerializable but the it asks me also for a method, this :

@Override
    public String getName() {
        return null;
    }

So because this crashes the game changed it back to this:

 

public enum EnumType implements IStringSerializable{

	WHITE(0, "white"), ORANGE(1, "orange"), MAGENTA(2, "magenta"), LIGHTBLUE(3, "light_blue"), YELLOW(4, "yellow"), LIME(5, "lime"), PINK(6, "pink"), GRAY(7, "gray"), 
	SILVER(8, "silver"), CYAN(9, "cyan"), PURPLE(10, "purple"), BLUE(11, "blue"), BROWN(12, "brown"), GREEN(13, "green"), RED(14, "red"), BLACK(15, "black");

    private int ID;
    private String name;
   
    private EnumType(int ID, String name) {
        this.ID = ID;
        this.name = name;
            
    }
    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public int getID() {
        return ID;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return getName();
    }
}

 

and this works fine i think i can't get go around this.

 

 

[winnetrie]

So now (i'm trying to improve) i did this:

public Bricks(String unlocalizedName, Material material, float hardness, float resistance) {
	super(material);
	//this.setUnlocalizedName(unlocalizedName);
        this.setCreativeTab(tem.testtab);
        this.setHardness(hardness);
        this.setResistance(resistance);
        this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(TYPE, EnumType.WHITE));
        this.setRegistryName("bricks");
        this.setUnlocalizedName(this.getRegistryName().toString());
        
}

So the registryname is now in the bricks class. I think it's better.

for the gameregistry i have now this:

GameRegistry.register(bricks);
	GameRegistry.register(bricksItemBlock.setRegistryName(bricks.getRegistryName()));

It seems to work all fine.

Just 1 thing i was wondering about. Does this not register "bricks" and "bricksItemBlock" with the same name? wich i defined as "bricks"

If it does. Does it matter at all, can this conflict with anyhting?

Just wondering. Because it works , doesn't mean it is done right. Right?

 

 

[nates1984]

Going to hijack this thread:

 

The following throws a NullPointerException, and it is basically equivalent to winnetrie's working code. It's contained in Main's preInit, and I'm on forge-1.9.12.16.0.1865-1.9

 

Any ideas? What silly thing am I overlooking? The last line below is what the stacktrace points to.

 

		blockRedstoneAnvil = new BlockRedstoneAnvil();
	GameRegistry.register(blockRedstoneAnvil.setRegistryName("redstone_anvil"));		
	itemRedstoneAnvilBlock = Item.getItemFromBlock((Block) blockRedstoneAnvil);
	GameRegistry.register(itemRedstoneAnvilBlock.setRegistryName(blockRedstoneAnvil.getRegistryName()));

 

Interestingly enough, everything seemed to be working fine without registering the item, and using the deprecated registerBlock method.

[Zodsmar]

Why are you casting a block to a block?

Item.getItemFromBlock((Block) blockRedstoneAnvil);

That may be your issue. Other than that I am looking at this code and it looks fine.

[Draco18s]

Pretty sure you can't Item.getItemFromBlock() before you've registered the itemblock.

[nates1984]

Still seeing the same error after putting getItemFromBlock after register.

 

Edit: Maybe this line from the console output is helpful:

 

[23:57:37] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Fatal errors were detected during the transition from PREINITIALIZATION to INITIALIZATION. Loading cannot continue

 

Edit2: Note that the following code from the working 1.8 version of this appears to work without issue:

 

		blockRedstoneAnvil = new BlockRedstoneAnvil().setUnlocalizedName("redstone_anvil");
    GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockRedstoneAnvil, ItemRedstoneAnvilBlock.class, "redstone_anvil");

    itemRedstoneAnvilBlock = GameRegistry.findItem("nates1984redstoneanvil", "redstone_anvil");

[Leviathan143]

The problem is that you have not associated an ItemBlock with your Block, so Item#getItemFromBlock()  returns null. Create the ItemBlock by calling the constructor of ItemBlock that takes a Block as a parameter, then register that instead.

[nates1984]

That worked. Thanks a bunch!

 

		itemRedstoneAnvilBlock = new ItemBlock(blockRedstoneAnvil);
	GameRegistry.register(itemRedstoneAnvilBlock.setRegistryName(blockRedstoneAnvil.getRegistryName()));
