I have a block that has a container, I want the texture to update when the inventory is closed. At the moment the block changes but the change isnt visible until you break a block near it or reload the save.

 

So my question is this, How would I update a block when a container is closed.

 

any help is welcomed. Thanks.

The block IS updated, but the client doesn't know it yet, so you need to notify the client(s). The way that is done in 1.7.10 is via World#markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z).

I just added this to my tile entity for the container, it didnt change the block.

 

@Override

public void closeInventory() {

worldObj.markBlockForUpdate(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);

}

\

-edit-

just added an if statement and had it print out if it was server or client and neither printed. So what is the closeInventroy() method for, since it doesnt get called when the inventory is closed...

How are you specifying which texture to use? Block metadata, TileEntity field, something else?

I figured it out, i used this method in the ContainerGUI

 

public void onGuiClosed()

{

world.markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z);

        super.onGuiClosed();

}

 

and now it works. My textures were fine, the method I tried in TileEntity wasnt what I figured it was.

 

Thanks again
