Hello again,

 

After spending that last week and a half finalizing my understanding of the item and block registration and render loader functions, I'd love to learn about how extended blockstates work. I see the term used on the forge documentation, but its section hasn't been written yet. I'd love to learn how it works, since I can't seem to easily find any up to date resources through google.

 

I'd like to add a block that is made up of 8 smaller cubes, and they fill up as rocks are placed into the various spaces. This would affect the hitbox for the block and the model shown. I know how to use make models use sub-models based on variants, but I can't make it store more than 4 boolean values, due to the 4 bit nature of metadata. Is there any reasonable way to get around that using extended block states? Would this require having multiple blocks in the same space like I have seen other architecture themed mods do?

 

Any help, advice, or links to useful material is appreciated.

You need a TileEntity in order to store more than 4 bits of data.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

I'll begin researching those. Thanks for the heads up.
