In the mod I am creating, I am attempting to register a block. However, the game seems to crash now that I have attempted to do so. I have my code and an error message that seems to be useful to display.

 

Here they are:

 

 

Code: https://github.com/Radiophex/TestMod1/tree/master/src/main/java/wes/firstmod

 

Error: http://pastebin.com/37uCs4R6

 

 

 

 

The blocks are registered under preInit() in FirstMod.java and the class that makes the blocks (BlockMaker.java) and the class with the Block registering methods (MyBlocks.java) are in the init package.

 

 

What can I do to fix the crashing and be able to spawn in the block?

 

 

If you need any more information, I would be more than happy to share it.

Item item = Item.getItemFromBlock(block);

is returning null because you didn't register an ItemBlock for your block.  That no longer happens automatically.

I'm kinda confused here. I am not sure what an ItemBlock is or how it works. Does it have to do with a block .json? Could I get a small example?

 

My apologies

The class Block relates to blocks taking up space in the world. When a block breaks and drops something, the floater is an item (actually an ItemStack). If the item dropped  is the "block itself", then it is the ItemBlock derived from the block. The ItemBlock is also what appears in your hand and in inventory.

 

Almost every block has a related ItemBlock. Exceptions are things like flowing water and lava source blocks. If your block is something that can drop and be picked up, then it needs a related ItemBlock.

In Minecraft, blocks only exist in the world. In your inventory, everything is a

ItemStack

which contains an

Item

. When you register your block, you also need to register an

ItemBlock

, which is the in-inventory representation of your block, for your block. When you call

GameRegister.register

it only registers the block. To register an

ItemBlock

you'll need to use something like this:

 

GameRegistry.register(new ItemBlock(cheese_block).setRegistryName(cheese_block.getRegistryName()));

 

Also, you're registering

cheese_blockName

which is created in the

register

method but your using

MyBlocks.cheese_block

everywhere else.
