Hey there! I'm trying to add a block that takes a picture and stores that picture inside a block, and that block would have that picture as the image.

 

The problem is, I'm unsure about how I should do this.

Right now, the idea is rightclick on the block to open a gui. The gui would depict a say, 128x128 area that would be in front of the block. This would be the image used in the item.

 

I would get this image through the pixel.get() method, assuming I can get it to work. I'd store the pixels in a 2D array, then- this is where I'm unsure of things- somehow make the blocks texture to 128x128.

 

So my question is:

Is this sound logic? Would this, in theory, be able to work? Is it possible to create a block with a texture other than the default 32x32 or 16x16 (whichever one it was)?

 

Thanks much!

Will update with code as time goes on.

 

 

You need a custom block render class, an ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler should be sufficient.

 

The issue will be passing the DynamicTexture object (those are a thing, use that instead of a 2D array of color values) into the system that actually renders stuff.  I've use a DynamicTexture for GUIs, but not blocks (and even that was a long time ago).
