Hey,

I'm currently working on getting into modding minecraft and have recently begun working on making a TileEntity with a 1 slot inventory (no gui yet). The issue I am having is that the block I have made (BlockEnderTransmitter) will not become a Tile Entity. I have checked with multiple tutorials and compared my code to other opensource projects to try to find the issue but I don't know how I should begin troubleshooting the problem.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

 

My project is uploaded to github here: https://github.com/kriNon/Endernet1.10.2/

The classes I am having difficulty with are kriNon.blocks.BlockEnderTransmitter and kriNon.tileentities.TileEntityEnderTransmitter.

How is this not throwing an error at you?

public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) {

It should be

public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, IBlockState state) {

If I try to do that it throws an error telling me to remove the @Override on line 32, when I do so I get an error (on line 23) that BlockEnderTransmitter must implement the inherited abstract method ITileEntityProvider.createNewTileEntity(World, int)

That is the problem, dont use ITileEntityProvider, just override the method signature I gave you.

Could you go into a little bit more detail? How exactly should I be going about doing this?

Don't extend

BlockContainer

or implement

ITileEntityProvider

.

 

Override

Block#hasTileEntity(IBlockState)

and

Block#createTileEntity

. Your IDE should be able to generate override methods for you.

I have tried what I think you're telling me to do here: https://gist.github.com/kriNon/dbac43d39511dc621608eb2d512f1894

I'm getting an error telling me "The method createNewTileEntity(World, IBlockState) of type BlockEnderTransmitter must override or implement a supertype method". When I try getting rid of the @Override it still doesn't work properly.

There's no method in

Block

called

createNewTileEntity

, so you can't override it. Delete this method and return a new instance of your

TileEntity

from the

Block#createTileEntity

override instead.

 

Overriding a method to do nothing but call the super method is completely pointless.

So this should be what I should have? https://gist.github.com/kriNon/dbac43d39511dc621608eb2d512f1894

No errors are coming up with this and it seems right, however the block still doesn't seem to be a tile entity.

 

Thanks for all of the help by the way!

Those are the correct methods to override, yes.

 

What makes you think there isn't a

TileEntity

? Are your

hasTileEntity

and

createTileEntity

methods being called?

I wrote the code which I believe should make the block have a one slot inventory however I am not able to pipe items in or out using hoppers. I also am able to push the block with pistons, which I believe shouldn't be possible as a tile entity.

If I try to do that it throws an error telling me to remove the @Override on line 32

 

An error telling you to remove an @Override annotation means that your method signature is wrong.

• BlockEnderTransmitter

  still extends

  BlockContainer

  .
  

• BlockEnderTransmitter

  is never used, you only create instances of

  BlockEnderReceiver

  : look closely.
  

what is did then https://github.com/kriNon/Endernet1.10.2/blob/master/src/main/java/kriNon/endernet/init/ModBlocks.java#L28-L29 ??

I had fixed BlockEnderTransmitter still extending BlockContainer, I just hadn't pushed the changes to the github page.

 

Thanks a lot for the help with noticing my mistake with not creating instances of BlockEnderTransmitter.

 

Everything works perfectly now, thanks everyone for all of the help!
