how to make plants that are 2 blocks high?

[thejelmega]

hey,

 

I'm working on my mod called AgricultureCraft,

I want to make my corn crop 2 high and it starts growing like seeds.

how would I do it?

 

problems:

how to use a double high texture for the plant?

how do I extend the bounding box as the plant grows?

and, obvious, how to make it 2 blocks high?

 

thanks for the responce!

I'm fairly certain you use two separate blocks, when the bottom block changes to for example meta data '3' you set the block above it to the other block, so it simulates a larger crop.

good idea, but how would I do that

 

thanks for the reply

[thejelmega]

does anyone else have an idee how to do it?

Zedicus explained how do it, when the crop's at a specific height (using metadata or another system) set the above block to the crop block. No one is going to code it for you and the hard part has been explained. Have a look at Minecraft's existing crops and code it.

World.java has a couple methods for setting a block at an arbitrary location to an arbitrary ID -- you probably want to look into those

for his idea you could add a onBlockUpdate() and then check if the metadata == 3 and then put a random update for the top part
