Hello (I'm new on the modding scene and I'm just trying to figure out how the basics work).

 

I'm trying to get a Tile Entity to tick.

 

I implement

ITickable

and create the update method.

 

But it doesn't seem to be able to run the code I put in the update method

 

 

Am I missing something?

 

 

 

I'm trying to make a block that generates Cobble stone, right now I just want it to print some text (To see that it works)

 

 

My code:

 

ItemModelProvider:

package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Item;

/**
* Created by Son_Of_Diablo on 11-01-2017.
*/
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public interface ItemModelProvider {

    void registerItemModel(Item item);

}

 

BlockBase:

package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Block;

/**
* Created by Son_Of_Diablo on 11-01-2017.
*/
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Item.ItemModelProvider;
import net.shadowfacts.tutorial.TutorialMod;

public class BlockBase extends Block implements ItemModelProvider{

    protected String name;

    public BlockBase(Material material, String name) {
        super(material);

        this.name = name;

        setUnlocalizedName(name);
        setRegistryName(name);
        setCreativeTab(TutorialMod.creativeTab);
    }

    @Override
    public void registerItemModel(Item item) {
        TutorialMod.proxy.registerItemRenderer(item, 0, name);
    }

}

 

BlockTileEntity:

package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Block;

/**
* Created by Son_Of_Diablo on 15-01-2017.
*/
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

import javax.annotation.Nullable;

public abstract class BlockTileEntity<TE extends TileEntity> extends BlockBase {

    public World world;

    public BlockTileEntity(Material material, String name) {
        super(material, name);
    }

    public abstract Class<TE> getTileEntityClass();

    public TE getTileEntity(IBlockAccess world, BlockPos pos) {
        return (TE)world.getTileEntity(pos);
    }

    boolean placed = false;
    @Override
    public IBlockState onBlockPlaced(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int meta, EntityLivingBase placer) {
        world = worldIn;
        if(!placed){
        System.out.println("I like cake!");}
        return super.onBlockPlaced(worldIn,pos,facing,hitX,hitY,hitZ,meta,placer);
    }

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

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public abstract TE createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state);

    ;

}

 

BlockCobbleGen:

package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Block.cobblegen;

/**
* Created by Son_Of_Diablo on 15-01-2017.
*/

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumHand;
import net.minecraft.util.ITickable;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;

import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Block.BlockTileEntity;
import org.lwjgl.Sys;

import javax.annotation.Nullable;
import java.util.Random;

public class BlockCobbleGen extends BlockTileEntity<TileEntityCobbleGen> implements ITickable {

    public BlockCobbleGen() {
        super(Material.ROCK, "cobblegen");
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand, @Nullable ItemStack heldItem, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public Class<TileEntityCobbleGen> getTileEntityClass() {
        return TileEntityCobbleGen.class;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntityCobbleGen createTileEntity(World world, IBlockState state) {
        return new TileEntityCobbleGen();
    }

    @Override
    public void update() {
        System.out.println("Yo!");
    }
}

 

TileEntityCobbleGen:

package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Block.cobblegen;

/**
* Created by Son_Of_Diablo on 15-01-2017.
*/
import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

public class TileEntityCobbleGen extends TileEntity {

    @Override
    public NBTTagCompound writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {
        //compound.setInteger("count", count);
        return super.writeToNBT(compound);
    }

    @Override
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {
        //count = compound.getInteger("count");
        super.readFromNBT(compound);
    }

}

Make sure you implemented the right

ITickable

, you want the one in the

net.minecraft.util

package. Otherwise show your code.

 

I updated the OP

package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.Item

Please don't use other people's package names. It defeats the purpose of packages.

 

public abstract class BlockTileEntity<TE extends TileEntity> extends BlockBase {

 

    public World world;

This is a terrible idea. The Block instance handles all instances of your block, it is more of a block type. Hence storing a world here makes no sense, your Block (almost) always exists in at least two worlds at the same time: the client world and the server world.

 

boolean placed = false;

Same thing, see above. This field will be shared across all instances of your Block.

Yea I figured that out, I'm changing that right now

I was trying to save the World(s) so that I could use them later to run code on client/server only, but I have no clue as to how I would do that at this moment

 

public class BlockCobbleGen extends BlockTileEntity<TileEntityCobbleGen> implements ITickable {

Why did you implement

ITickable

here? Nothing will check for it on your Block class.

 

public class TileEntityCobbleGen extends TileEntity {

Where is

ITickable

?

 

ohh.. so I placed it in the wrong class? That would explain why it doesn't work ^^
