[1.8] [SOLVED] Problems generating custom block in village

[Cleverpanda]

So I've made some corn and I'm trying to get it to generate as a Village field.

I basically copied what happens in net.minecraft.world.gen.structure.StructureVillagePieces#Field2 since it will be exactly the same except for replacing the crop. The field base generates fine but everything I try to get my corn generated does not work. It generates an empty field.

It looks to me through some testing that I'm either getting a block state wrong to spawn but It could be that I've missed something in my actual block class that messes with calling a block state of corn externally. I get no relevant console output during init or village generation. Can anyone help?

 

If this is an issue with the forge version i'm using (1.8-11.14.4.1563), let me  know that too...

In my main class I've added the lines

MapGenStructureIO.registerStructureComponent(ComponentCornField.class, "Vicf");
        VillagerRegistry.instance().registerVillageCreationHandler(new CornWorldGen());

Bump. Still cannot figure it out.

if you get an empty field, then you're almost there. just find the bug.

 

check the max height in debugger - if it's 1 you get an empty field. i see a weird line with maxY  in it (copied from the torches class), maybe you should rework that.

 

next thing to try is using world.setblockstate instead of component.func_175804_a i had problems with those methods - clipping logic in there is weird.

 

also, try replacing corn with carrots in one row, just to see if it's about corn.

Alright so It looks like you're right with that function. I generated my block just fine at a world spawn point. I already know that I can generate other blocks in the dirt patches in the field, so that works too, but I've figured it out, thanks.

 

I wanted to use world.setblockstate originally but I didn't see how I can get the position of the generated village part within addComponentParts() to do so. If youre reading this in the future, it can be done as follows but is not needed

BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(this.getXWithOffset(0,0),this.getYWithOffset(0),this.getZWithOffset(0,0));

 

[solution]

function func_175811_a works fine for me, I needed to change how I get my block to

Block  corn = GameRegistry.findBlock(Corn.MODID, "corn");

Instead of referencing the final instance I had been using in my main class for registration.

Its more than likely that you never set the field in your main class to anything.

I don't see how that could be possible, I used that variable to register the block, which has been working as expected for weeks.
