So, I was trying to figure this out, but I'm not sure what steps I need to add to the register of my blocks, I know I'm missing something, but not sure what and where.

 

I'm trying to register colored buttons, I do get the buttons to show on inventory (Not render yet I haven't got to that point)

 

I know I'm missing something as all the buttons show with the same name and not an specific meta like the clay blocks do.

 

This is how I'm registering them.

 

 

	//CREATE THE BLOCKS
public static final Block CLAY_BUTTON = new ClayButton("clay_button");

public static final Block CLAY_BUTTON_COLORED = new ClayButtonColored("clay_button_colored");

public static void registerBlocks() {

	registerBlock(CLAY_BUTTON);

	registerBlock(CLAY_BUTTON_COLORED);


}

public static void registerRenders() {

	registerRender(CLAY_BUTTON);

	registerRender(CLAY_BUTTON_COLORED);

}

private static void registerBlock(Block block) {
	GameRegistry.register(block);
	GameRegistry.register(new ItemBlock(block).setRegistryName(block.getRegistryName()));
}

private static void registerRender(Block block) {
	ModelResourceLocation modelLocation = new ModelResourceLocation(block.getRegistryName(), "inventory");
	ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(block), block.getMetaFromState(block.getDefaultState()),  modelLocation);
}

 

 

And this is the Block Class:

 

 

public class ClayButtonColored extends BlockButton
{

public static final PropertyEnum<EnumDyeColor> COLOR = PropertyEnum.<EnumDyeColor>create("color", EnumDyeColor.class);

public ClayButtonColored(String name) {
	super(true);
	this.setUnlocalizedName(ModInfo.MODID + ":" + name);
	this.setRegistryName(name);
	this.setHardness(0.6F);
	this.setSoundType(SoundType.STONE);
	this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(COLOR, EnumDyeColor.WHITE).withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.DOWN).withProperty(POWERED, Boolean.valueOf(false)));
	this.setCreativeTab(ModCreativeTab.MOD_TAB);
}

@Override
protected void playClickSound(EntityPlayer player, World worldIn, BlockPos pos) {
        worldIn.playSound(player, pos, SoundEvents.BLOCK_STONE_BUTTON_CLICK_ON, SoundCategory.BLOCKS, 0.3F, 0.6F);	
}

@Override
protected void playReleaseSound(World worldIn, BlockPos pos) {
        worldIn.playSound((EntityPlayer)null, pos, SoundEvents.BLOCK_STONE_BUTTON_CLICK_OFF, SoundCategory.BLOCKS, 0.3F, 0.5F);
}

@Override
public int tickRate(World worldIn)
    {
        return ConfigValues.buttonsTicks;
    }


@Override
    public int damageDropped(IBlockState state)
    {
        return ((EnumDyeColor)state.getValue(COLOR)).getMetadata();
    }

@Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void getSubBlocks(Item itemIn, CreativeTabs tab, List<ItemStack> list)
    {
        for (EnumDyeColor enumdyecolor : EnumDyeColor.values())
        {
            list.add(new ItemStack(itemIn, 1, enumdyecolor.getMetadata()));
        }
    }

@Override
    public MapColor getMapColor(IBlockState state)
    {
        return ((EnumDyeColor)state.getValue(COLOR)).getMapColor();
    }

@Override
    public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta)
    {
        return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(COLOR, EnumDyeColor.byMetadata(meta));
    }

@Override
    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state)
    {
        return ((EnumDyeColor)state.getValue(COLOR)).getMetadata();
    }

@Override
    protected BlockStateContainer createBlockState()
    {
        return new BlockStateContainer(this, new IProperty[] {FACING, POWERED, COLOR});
    }
    
}

 

 

Can I have some help on the missing steps?

 

I will for sure need some help with the jsons, but that's later, first I want to know what I'm missing here as I'm not sure why the don't show a meta for each when I look at them in inventory.

Because there is no meta for your ItemBlock.

Because there is no meta for your ItemBlock.

So I should create a class for my ItemBlocks and set there the meta for each color?

Yes assuming when you say color you mean it is going to have different Item models. Because you can always you IBlockColor.

As for now I'm testing with GameRegistry.register(new ItemColored(block, true).setRegistryName(block.getRegistryName()));

 

They each get a meta now.

 

Yes each of them with have a model that will be parent to the vanilla colored clay blocks.

 

I'm gonna start doing some of the jsons so I can tell what else I'm missing so far.

 

What I notice is that even each having its own meta, they all default to "White" when placed, but I'm gonna figure that out later

 

Thanks a lot for the help, will let you know how it goes.
