BlockStates: type with invalidly named value: DEFAULT

[BeardlessBrady]

Alright so I've been having trouble with block states. I assumed I set everything up right, I've looked at quite a few different ways of doing it but now Im getting this weird error.

 

Code:

- ModStates.java: http://pastebin.com/kXMa2AVH

- BlockMachine.java: http://pastebin.com/11RegmB4

- .Json File: http://pastebin.com/xSyE5nmK

I think your block needs to override the createState method associate itself with those two properties.

Your

getName()

can't return an uppercase name, as they are not allowed. However, you do pass in a

name

variable to use, but if you look closely, you never use it:

@Override
public String getName(){
    return this.name();
}

You are returning the returned value of the

name()

method instead of returning the

name

field.

Thank you so much, I literally looked at everything else but the ModStates file.

 

The game loads now but now none of the textures are loading from the types property (Renamed mactypes to type)

In your blockmachine JSON, on line 5 column 6, you are probably a missing comma or closing bracket. If you can't figure it out, post your blockmachine JSON file.
