[1.9.4][Solved] Block not updating when world re-entered

[FredTargaryen]

When I place my block it updates itself perfectly well, but when I leave and re-enter the world, updateTick doesn't get called any more. I'm using roughly the same code as I did in 1.7.10 when it was fine. Could anyone tell me what I've missed out please?

Code if needed:

 

 

public class BlockFloowerPot extends BlockContainer
{
    private static final AxisAlignedBB POTBOX = new AxisAlignedBB(0.3125F, 0.0F, 0.3125F, 0.6875F, 0.375F, 0.6875F);

    public BlockFloowerPot()
    {
        super(Material.CIRCUITS);
    }

    public AxisAlignedBB getBoundingBox(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess source, BlockPos pos)
    {
        return POTBOX;
    }

    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World var1, int var2)
    {
        return new TileEntityFloowerPot();
    }

    public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    /**
     * Called upon block activation (right click on the block.)
     */
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, ItemStack heldItem, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ)
    {
        TileEntity tileEntity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
        if (tileEntity == null || player.isSneaking())
        {
            return false;
        }
        player.openGui(FloocraftBase.instance, 0, worldIn, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void breakBlock(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state)
    {
        this.dropItems(worldIn, pos);
        super.breakBlock(worldIn, pos, state);
    }

    private void dropItems(World world, BlockPos pos){
        Random rand = new Random();

        TileEntity tileEntity = world.getTileEntity(pos);
        if (!(tileEntity instanceof IInventory)) {
            return;
        }
        IInventory inventory = (IInventory) tileEntity;

        for (int i = 0; i < inventory.getSizeInventory(); i++) {
            ItemStack item = inventory.getStackInSlot(i);

            if (item != null && item.stackSize > 0) {
                float rx = rand.nextFloat() * 0.8F + 0.1F;
                float ry = rand.nextFloat() * 0.8F + 0.1F;
                float rz = rand.nextFloat() * 0.8F + 0.1F;

                EntityItem entityItem = new EntityItem(world,
                        pos.getX() + rx, pos.getY() + ry, pos.getZ() + rz,
                        new ItemStack(item.getItem(), item.stackSize, item.getItemDamage()));

                if (item.hasTagCompound()) {
                    entityItem.getEntityItem().setTagCompound((NBTTagCompound) item.getTagCompound().copy());
                }

                float factor = 0.05F;
                entityItem.motionX = rand.nextGaussian() * factor;
                entityItem.motionY = rand.nextGaussian() * factor + 0.2F;
                entityItem.motionZ = rand.nextGaussian() * factor;
                world.spawnEntityInWorld(entityItem);
                item.stackSize = 0;
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int tickRate(World par1World)
    {
        return 50;
    }

    @Override
    public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random rand)

                                        worldIn.playSound(null, currentPos, greened, SoundCategory.BLOCKS, 1.0F, 1.0F);
                                        stack.stackSize--;
                                        pot.setInventorySlotContents(0, stack.stackSize == 0 ? null : stack.splitStack(stack.stackSize));
                                    } else {
                                        worldIn.setBlockState(currentPos, Blocks.FIRE.getDefaultState());
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        }
    }
}

 

 

 

EDIT: Solved by using scheduleBlockUpdate instead of scheduleUpdate. Thank you for your advice anyway!

Its funny how you don't override writeToNBT or readFromNBT and still expect your data to get saved.

I override writeToNBT and readFromNBT in the tile entity, and the data I need is definitely saved there. The issue is that updateTick isn't being called.

Also, you shouldn't be using BlockContainer, it sucks.

What do you recommend instead? Just extending Block and implementing ITileEntityProvider?

Extend

Block

and override

Block#hasTileEntity(IBlockState)

and

Block#createTileEntity

. Don't implement

ITileEntityProvider

.
