[1.11.2] Get resourcelocation from block?

[MCrafterzz]

Hello, is it possible to get the resource location from a block for example stone?

[Choonster]

Your question is a bit vague, it's equivalent to asking about getting the int from a Block.

 

Which ResourceLocation do you want? The registry name? The model location? Something else?

The texture location. I found that .getRegistryName() returns a resourceLocation so is that correct?

[Choonster]

The registry name is the object's unique identifier, it's not directly related to rendering (though it's used as the default location for blockstates files [for Blocks] and item models [for Items]).

 

Blocks don't have textures, they have models. Models do have textures, though.

 

What exactly are you trying to do?

 

You can use BlockRendererDispatcher#getModelForState to get the IBakedModel for an IBlockState. If you need the model's location rather than the model itself, use BlockStateMapper#getVariants to get a Map<IBlockState, ModelResourceLocation> for a Block and use it to look up the ModelResourceLocation for an IBlockState.

I want to get the texture from a block, so from it's model then i guess

[Choonster]

Use IBakedModel#getQuads to get the model's BakedQuads and use BakedQuad#getSprite to get the texture of a BakedQuad.

 

You can also use IBakedModel#getParticleTexture to get a model's particle texture.

In case you want something more specific, this should work.

First you'll have to choose the block state you want to use. For example:

IBlockState state = Blocks.STONE.getDefaultState();

 

Then use:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getBlockRendererDispatcher().getBlockModelShapes().getTexture(state);

 

EDIT

If you want to specify the side/facing etc. use:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getBlockRendererDispatcher().getBlockModelShapes().getModelForState(state);

 

Then you can use something like this to get the texture:

 

    private TextureAtlasSprite getTexture(IBakedModel ibakedmodel, IBlockState state, EnumFacing facing) {
    	List<BakedQuad> quadList = ibakedmodel.getQuads(state, facing, 0L);
        TextureAtlasSprite sprite = quadList.isEmpty() ? ibakedmodel.getParticleTexture() : quadList.get(0).getSprite();
        return sprite == null ? this.missingTexture : sprite;
    }

 

My method above is for my own usage and won't work for some blocks like lava, water and certain tile entity blocks but .getTexture(state) should.

Better yet, take a look at BlockModelShapes.getTexture(state) method. You could copy that and modify it to your liking.

 

You can change the quadList.get(index) to another index to get another quad attached to that facing.

Thanks both of you. Choonster what should I get the IBakedModel from because it can't be used staticly

[Vryday_Vrything]

I was in a hurry when I posted, sorry.

Please see the edit in my original post... hope it helps more.

This is what I've got so far:

public String texture = BlockRendererDispatcher.getModelForState(Blocks.STONE.getDefaultState())
   .getParticleTexture().toString();

 

The problem is that Blocks.STONE.getDefaultState() gives an error because it's static when the methoud isn't so how should I solve this?

[shadowfacts]

BlockRendererDispatcher.getModelForState isn't a static method, it's an instance one. You need to call the method on an instance of BlockRendererDispatcher. You can obtain that instance from Minecraft.getMinecraft().getBlockRendererDispatcher().

Thank you showfacts
