how to make variables unique per block and persistant in save?

[trollworkout]

So I made a few variables and I noticed they appear to be shared between all blocks of a certain type.

 

For example each Vat is supposed to contain an amount of silver, zinc, tin, lead and copper deposits. All are individual for each vat.

 

However when using say int copper, int zinc ... seems like they all share the same values and they all fill up at the same time with same stuff.

 

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

 

I will figure out this tile entity thing.

 

You think PropertyInt can also work? I noticed leaves do it that way.

 

How many properties can I have maximum per block?

You can't save twelve PropertyInts in block metadata:

Metadata can only store 4 bits of information.

I need 0 - 64  int copper tin zinc silver lead (x5) + E W S N properties for spout connection.

 

that's 4 booleans and 5 ints  of maximum 8 bits each

 

SO I guess I need an entity

[Draco18s]

I need 0 - 64  int

 

Aaaaaaaand you've already gone past the limit of 4 bits.

Thanks a lot for your help also . Very much appreciate all the help I can get.

 

also is there any example for TileEntity?

I was just reading about TileEntity. Is a block addon that adds custom data, also updates per tick 20 times / second and custom renderer

 

That's what I need.

[Draco18s]

also updates per tick 20 times / second and custom renderer

 

It doesn't need to do either of these things.

I've been using standard block models for my TEs (the furnace does this).

I've also got a couple of non-ticking TEs (the potted plant is a good example).

Yes

 

Have a look at this example project

MBE20 is very similar to what you want.
