I'm confused as to why when I place my block's item of metadata value 2, it reverts to 0. This is the same for metadata value 1.

 

ItemBlock Meta class:

 

 

package com.test.blocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

public class ItemBlockMeta extends ItemBlock
{
public ItemBlockMeta(Block block)
{
	super(block);
	if (!(block instanceof IMetaBlockName))
	{
		throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format("The given Block %s is not an instanceof ISpecialBlockName!", block.getUnlocalizedName()));
	}

	this.setMaxDamage(0);
	this.setHasSubtypes(true);
}



public int getMetaData(int damage)
{
	return damage;
}

@Override
public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack)
{
	return super.getUnlocalizedName(stack) + "." + ((IMetaBlockName)this.block).getSpecialName(stack);
}
}

The

getMetaData

method in your

ItemBlock

class does precisely nothing.

 

Well, I was following a tutorial

You need to override

Item#getMetadata(int)

(not

getMeta[b]D[/b]ata

) to allow the

ItemBlock

to place block metadata values other than 0. This is why you should always annotate override methods with

@Override

.

 

The tutorial's code appears to be poorly written. In addition to not overriding the correct method, it doesn't specify the generic type argument of the

PropertyEnum

field and uses a series of

if

statements for metadata/unlocalised names instead of encapsulating them in the enum.

Thank you! I thought the getMetadata method existed in the ItemBlock class and when I checked it, there was no method, so I was stumped. But now, I've learnt that the getMetadata method exists in the Item class. Thanks a lot!
