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 actually on 1.6.4 

I am actually on 1.6.4 

That's practically identical to 1.7.10 as far as setting blocks.

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

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