two blocks high crop

[DrakusorU]

Hi, first of all im new to java ( I know the basics, I can manage to solve myself most of the problems I encounter ).. for like 2 days im searching how to make a 2 blocks tall crop, i've been looking into other mods how they did it, i've been searching everywhere.. now i am at the stage where I created the crop, it grows, it drop the items I want, but I want to make it grow 1 more block like this http://i.imgur.com/dOAPPQ5.png for example.. exactly this mod ( flax mod from 1.7 ) I tried to recreate in 1.10 for myself.. I pretty much followed this tutorial http://shadowfacts.net/tutorials/forge-modding-1102/ to make my mod, so its almost indentical..

 

what I want exactly to do is once again, make it grow 2 blocks, when I break the top block to receive more items as its fully grown aswell if I break the buttom block when its fully grown, but if I break the bottom without being fully grown to receive only the seed back..

 

i've searched a lot how to do this for 1.10.. if there was already a topic about this, im sorry but I couldnt find it..

couldn't you mimic how normal crops work, but combine it with logic like sugercane/reeds?

Age age reaches max, grow a top part, which then also must reach max age?

I agree with comment above. In fact I learned how to create stuff simply by copying vanilla code.

 

Forge is very helpful in that it actually shows you how MC is coded something that would be hard to do normally since everything is obfuscated. So instead of just doing things after tutorial just actually look trough forge/mc vanilla code.

 

All blocks are registered in Block class

 

Search for reed or tall grass see how is done there

 

Ctrl + click on a class name to open it up in a new tab  in Eclipse. read trough try to do the same

Agreed. Knowing what you can pull from vanilla code is very useful.

But basically you're gonna have a block with states and say states 0-3 are 1 block tall, you're gonna check when you grow, that its the top block (bottom block with air above or top block) and then if its state 3, set the space above it to the block with state 4.

Just make two separate blocks. You can make them drop separate things. Have the bottom block have a random tick and when it reaches a certain age the bottom block would have an if then statements saying, if there is air above me, then place this other block.

Oh, by the way.

 

Be aware of the BlockEvent.CropGrowEvent and its two sub events.  You should fire these at the appropriate times if you are not using subclassing a class that does, or not calling super.updateTick().  Look at BlockCrops, Reeds, Cactus, Netherwart, CocoPods, and a couple others for examples of useage.

I managed to make it grow 1 more block, but I have a problem with the function updateTick

 

I've got the function from another mod, but that mod was making the crop grow 3 blocks, so I tried to make it grow only 2 but it doesnt update corectly.. well.. it doesnt grow fully.. it looks like this http://prntscr.com/deb0g9 instead of http://i.imgur.com/dOAPPQ5.png

 

I was trying to recreate the flax mod from 1.7.10 so the assets are taken from that mod..

 

I know it is because of this function because I messed around for like 2 hours trying figure out what was wrong

 

the original code:

/*public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random rand)
    {
    	int j = ((Integer)state.getValue(AGE)).intValue();
    	if ((j != 9) && (j != 10) && (j != 11) && ((worldIn.getBlockState(pos.down()).getBlock() == this) || (canBlockStay(worldIn, pos, state)))) {
    		if ((worldIn.isAirBlock(pos.up())) || (j == 4) || (j == 7)) {
    			if (worldIn.getLightFromNeighbors(pos.up()) >= 9) {
    					if ((j == 0) || (j == 1) || (j == 2)) {
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(j + 1));
    					}
		            if (j == 3) {
		                worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(4));
		           	}
    					if (j == 5) {
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(6));
    					}
    					if (j == 6) {
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(7));
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta();
    					}
    					if (j ==  {
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(10));
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.down(), getStateFromMeta(9));
    						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.down(2), getStateFromMeta(9));
    					}
    					if (((j == 4) || (j == 7)) && (worldIn.getBlockState(pos.up()).getBlock() == this)) {
    						int k = ((Integer)worldIn.getBlockState(pos.up()).getValue(AGE)).intValue();
    						if (k == 5) {
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(6));
    						}
    						if (k == 6) {
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(7));
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(2), getStateFromMeta();
    						}
    						if (k == 7) {
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(2), getStateFromMeta(11));
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(10));
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(9));
    						}
    						if (k ==  {
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(11));
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(10));
    							worldIn.setBlockState(pos.down(), getStateFromMeta(9));
    						}
    					}
    			}
    		}
    	}
    }*/

 

what I tried to do and have now:

 

public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random rand)
    {
    	int j = ((Integer)state.getValue(AGE)).intValue();
    	if (((worldIn.getBlockState(pos.down()).getBlock() == this) || (canBlockStay(worldIn, pos, state)))) {
    		if ((worldIn.isAirBlock(pos.up()))) {
    			if (worldIn.getLightFromNeighbors(pos.up()) >=  {
    				if ((j == 0) || (j == 1) || (j == 2)) {
					worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(j + 1));
				}
	            if (j == 3) {
	                worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(4));
	           	}
	            if (j == 4) {
					worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(5));
				}
				if (j == 5) {
					worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(6));
				}
				if (j == 6) {
					worldIn.setBlockState(pos, getStateFromMeta(7));
					worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta();
				}
				if ((j == 7) && (worldIn.getBlockState(pos.up()).getBlock() == this)) {
					int k = ((Integer)worldIn.getBlockState(pos.up()).getValue(AGE)).intValue();
					if (k ==  {
						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(9));
					}
					if (k == 9) {
						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(10));
					}
					if (k == 10) {
						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(11));
					}
					if (k == 11) {
						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(12));
					}
					if (k == 12) {
						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(13));
					}
					if (k == 13) {
						worldIn.setBlockState(pos.up(), getStateFromMeta(14));
					}
				}
    			}
    		}	
    	}
    }

}

 

what confuse me the most is the part where I add the second block and where I need to update it..
