Alright, so I inserted a breakpoint where you told me to (the dot appeared on the line below, is that ok?).

I have the game open in debug mode, what now?

mine the block

mine the block

 

Aright, done. Eclipse asked em to open the debug perspective, and I did so. What information do I need to look for now? Really, what should I give you to all?

yea give it all

Well, I don't really know how to give, and what to give, but here is the information in my Debug screen:

 

https://postimg.org/image/9wglhhtlt/ https://postimg.org/image/gzytd28bx/

 

It also brought up PlayerInteractionManager and highlighted this line (298):

        boolean flag = iblockstate.getBlock().removedByPlayer(iblockstate, theWorld, pos, thisPlayerMP, canHarvest);

 

My GitHut (if you need to look at my code): https://github.com/EcapeMC/ThingsMod-1.10.2

is your github up to date ?

yes

where is the block for the chest ?

Oh sorry, I had it in init for some reason... I changed it now https://github.com/EcapeMC/ThingsMod-1.10.2/tree/master/src/main/java/com/github/escapemc/thingsmod/blocks

you never create the tileEntity

you never create the tileEntity

 

 

What exactly do you mean? This one:

	@Override
public boolean removedByPlayer(IBlockState state, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EntityPlayer player, boolean willHarvest) {
	if(!worldIn.isRemote) {
		TileEntity ***tileentity*** = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

There?

That is not creation.

This method does not do what you think it does. In fact it does precisely jack shit, because it is never called.

 

Alright, so what can I do to fix this all? What must I do with this method to make my test_chest have the tileEntity?

 

override

public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state)

That is not creation.

remove it

Then how does one link my TileEntity to my test_chest?

override

public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state)

and this is how to clean up from Iinventory https://github.com/loordgek/ThingsMod-1.10.2/commit/863174f611a46a1fa55454e8f61f33a4a0da4326

You need to actually override stuff from the superclass. Just placing random methods in your block class will not magically make Minecraft care about them or much less call them.

 

Well I am sorry, I was incorrectly informed. I was under the impression that using that linked the tile entity. What must I do exactly to make test_chest use TileEntityTestChest?

 

And thanks loordgek for that IInventory help with cleaning up from it.

override

public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state)

override

public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state)

 

Oh sorry! I didn't see you said that. Thank you, I didn't realize I should have done @Override until I thought about it.

 

What method should I make to satisfy, "The method TileEntityTestChest() is undefined for the type test_chest" error?

No. You need to think about what that means.

You are trying to call a method

TileEntityTestChest

on the

test_chest

class. Why are you doing that? Think about it, it makes no sense...

The fix is not to blindly create some method to shut up the compiler. The fix is to think about what you want the code to do.

 

Alright, so I am not sure if this hasTileEntity has to do with this part, but

	@Override
public boolean hasTileEntity(IBlockState state) {
	return true;
}


@Override
public TileEntity createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {

	return new TileEntityTestChest(); 

}

 

Am I getting closer?

 

 

Also, do I need to use getTileEntity?

looks good now test if everything works now

looks good now test if everything works now

 

Horray! Everything works! The GUI comes up, and the block, when destroyed, does not give errors!

 

I just want to give special thanks (Huge fucking thanks) to Draco18s, loordgek, and diesieben07 for not only helping me achieve this custom chest, but also tolerating me with my lack of some knowledge and common sense.
