I'm trying to make somewhat of a library to make registering Blocks and Items less tedious.

I wondered if it was possible to make a method that not only registers the Block, but also registers the Render for that block.

I use ModelLoader, so it can be used simultaneously with block creation in preInit.

It works as expected on Client, but obviously crashes on Servers because the ModelLoader class doesn't exist. So I added a SideOnly statement before my method.

I call that method from my constructor, the problem is that the server now tries to call a method that I made Client Side only. Is there a way to only call the method on the Client side?

This is my code:

public class TSBlockTextured extends TSBlock {

	
	public TSBlockTextured(String name, Material blockMaterialIn, MapColor blockMapColorIn, String modid) {
		super(name, blockMaterialIn, blockMapColorIn, modid);
	
		registerTexture(name, modid);
	}
	
	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	private void registerTexture(String name, String modid)
	{
		ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(this), 0, new ModelResourceLocation(modid + ":" + name, "inventory"));		
	}

}

 

This is what the sided proxy system is for. Create a method in your base proxy class called something like registerModel and then override it in the client proxy to call ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation.

 

Keep in mind that ModelResourceLocation is also a client-only class, so you can't have it as a parameter of the method. Instead, you'll need to have the name as a parameter and create the ModelResourceLocation in the client proxy's override method.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

I did something like this previously.  These two classes act as my library mod's Common and Client proxy files, but have static methods so that they can be used from anywhere.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.
