Hey guys, so I'm working on some new trees, and now I have a problem. I'm adding trees as subblocks, and I can't get the .json files to work.

 

Here's my code

 

Here's my Block Register Class

public class EadoreBlocks
{
//Trees
public static Block block_log;
public static Block block_leaves;

public static void init()
{
	//Trees
	block_log = new EadoreLog().setUnlocalizedName("log").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
	block_leaves = new EadoreLeaves().setUnlocalizedName("leaves").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDecorations);

}

public static void register()
{
	//Trees
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(block_log, ItemEadoreLog.class, block_log.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(block_leaves, ItemEadoreLeaves.class, block_leaves.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

public static void registerRenders()
{
	//Trees
	registerRender(block_log);
	registerRender(block_leaves);

}

public static void registerRender(Block block)
{
	Item item = Item.getItemFromBlock(block);
	Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));
}

 

Here's my custom log class

public class EadoreLog extends BlockLog
{
public static final String[] logs = new String[] {"maple", "poplar"};

public void getSubBlocks (Item item, CreativeTabs tabs, List list)
{
	for(int i = 0; i < logs.length; i++)
	{
		list.add(new ItemStack(item, 1, i));
	}
}
}

 

Here's my custom item log class

public class ItemEadoreLog extends ItemBlock
{

public ItemEadoreLog(Block block)
{
	super(block);
	this.setHasSubtypes(true);
}

public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack itemstack)
{
	int i = itemstack.getItemDamage();
	if(i < 0 || i >= EadoreLog.logs.length)
	{
		i = 0;
	}

	return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "_" + EadoreLog.logs[i];
}

public int getMetaData(int meta)
{
	return meta;
}
}

 

 

My main problem is that the logs look for a .json file with the name log.json. Whereas I want the maple log to look for either maple_log.json or log_maple.json, and the poplar log to look for either poplar_log.json or log_poplar.json. I don't know how to use .json files with subBlocks/metadata, but I want to learn, that's why I haven't just added two new blocks instead of subBlocks/metadata.

 

I hope someone here with better understanding of .json files or subBlocks/metadata can help me out.

1. You should have to understand the current blockstate system.

2. There is ModelRegistry.registerCustomStateMapper exactly for the use.

I have a hard time understanding blockstate fully, without trying it ☺️

I will try your suggestion, when I get home from work

I feel stupid, but I can't get this to work. Could you maybe give me an example of this in use?

Nevermind, I got it working
