[1.11] Registering slabs

[Jay Avery]

How do you register

BlockSlab

s and

ItemSlab

s in 1.11? Older tutorials use

GameRegistry.registerBlock

which doesn't exist anymore (and seems to be able to take a combination of Item and Block parameters to combine them somehow). Looking through the vanilla code doesn't help because the registration is done completely differently. And I can't find any tutorials for 1.11. Can anyone talk me through it, or direct me to a tutorial or example code?

Step 1: Register the block

Step 2: Create a new ItemBlock

Step 3: Register it

[Jay Avery]

I understand the basics of registering a single block with a single associated ItemBlock. But a functioning slab requires a single slab block, a double slab block, and an ItemSlab item - and I don't understand how to make them all relate to each other correctly in registration and construction.

[Draco18s]

You create a new ItemSlab, pass the constructor the two slab blocks...

[Jay Avery]

Right, I've figured it out. I was confused because I was thinking that the single and double blocks also needed to have an ItemBlock each (because usually EVERY BLOCK EVER has to have an ItemBlock).
