Hello everyone! I am currently making a mod, and am wanting to use a quartz pillar in my recipe. I have found out how to register dyes (Like cocoa beans) but not blocks. Here is the cocoa beans code:

 

public static ItemStack cocoaBeans = new ItemStack(Item.dyePowder, 1, 3);

 

Does anyone know how I could change that into a quartz pillar? I tried changing Item.dyePowder to Block.blockNetherQuartz, but that did not work.

 

EDIT: I would like to add a block, quartz pillar, to my structure. I am currently on 1.6.4. Can anybody help?

Try Blocks.quartz_block - if that's not the block you want (which I don't think it is, but I don't recall), then open up the Blocks class or expand it in your package explorer pane and you can see all of its class fields and search until you find what you're looking for.

Hello! That did not work. This worked (No errors): Block.blockNetherQuartz

I used it in this code: public static ItemStack quartzPillar = new ItemStack(Block.blockNetherQuartz, 1, 2);

Using this worked. Though one question, I want to generate this now, also, in a structure, but I need to turn this into a block. Right now, I assume, it is trying to spawn it in the structure as an item, but I need it to spawn as the actual block. Is there any way to do that?

Okay, but why are you making a static ItemStack? That doesn't make sense either for registering a recipe, nor for placing a block. If you want to reuse it, that's fine, but just use a local variable inside the method rather than a class field.

 

Anyway, you haven't mentioned Minecraft version, but here you go:

Block block =  block you want to use, e.g. Blocks.blockNetherQuartz
World world and either BlockPos or x/y/z coordinates assumed from method

// 1.7.10
world.setBlock(x, y, z, block, metadata, 2);

// 1.8+
world.setBlockState(blockPos, block.getDefaultState().withProperty(someProperty), 2);

I am a bit new to this, so I am downright confused. How would I add it to this code?

        int rotation = random.nextInt(5);

       

        float chance = (float)getChanceToGenerateInChunk() / 100F;

       

        if (random.nextFloat() <= chance) {

            int xCoord = (chunkX * 16) + random.nextInt(16);

            int zCoord = (chunkZ * 16) + random.nextInt(16);

            int yCoord = getBiomeTopBlock(world, xCoord, zCoord);

           

            if (yCoord != -1) {

                //check if biome is in our list

                BiomeGenBase biome = world.getBiomeGenForCoords(xCoord, zCoord);

                if (biomesToGenIn.contains(biome)) {

                    generateStructure(random, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, world, rotation);

                }

            }

        }

    }

 

}

 

 

Just fyi, that's not a recipe, that's a structure.  Recipes use itemstacks.  I don't know about structures.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
