I have several similar classes that I use to create my Items.

 

public class ItemOreMetal extends Item
{
    public ItemOreMetal()
    {
        setCreativeTab(Foundation.creativeTab);
        setHasSubtypes(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void getSubItems(Item item, CreativeTabs creativeTabs, List list)
    {
        for(EnumOreType metal : EnumOreType.values())
        {
            list.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, metal.getMeta()));
        }
    }
}

 

The only difference is the enum I use to create the sub-items. Would it be possible to take in the enum in the constructor and use it from there? So I wouldn't have so many classes.

Yes.

 

Would this be the right way to do it?

 

public class ItemEnum extends Item
{
    public EnumBasicType type;

    public ItemEnum(EnumBasicType typeIn)
    {
        type = typeIn;
        setCreativeTab(TeslaFoundation.creativeTab);
        setHasSubtypes(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void getSubItems(Item item, CreativeTabs creativeTabs, List list)
    {
        for(EnumBasicType basicType : type.values())
        {
            list.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, basicType.getMeta()));
        }
    }
}

No. You have to pass in the Enum class and use

Class#getEnumConstants

.

 

Alright got that working. How would I do the same thing to my block classes? i.e. PropertyEnum

Exactly the same.

 

What would I replace this with:

 

IProperty<EnumOreType>
