Overwriting default behavior

[Iso]

Hello everyone!

 

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the tools this community gave to us. Modding Minecraft seems so easy with Forge!

 

I am currently trying to create my first mod, but I am facing a wall here. Instead of adding stuff (items, blocks, etc.), I would like to change default behavior. As in, I want the chests to be rendered as 1×1×1m boxes (2×1×1 for large ones), as they used to be (but with the opening / closing animation).

 

Now I found where these dimensions (for the boundBox and the model itself) were in native code:

• net.minecraft.block.BlockChest
  
• net.minecraft.client.model.ModelChest
  
• net.minecraft.client.model.ModelLargeChest
  

 

There are a few methods to overwrite as well.

 

But my problem is, how can I tell the game to replace native chests with mines? Should I just rewrite these files? I was not sure; for me the point of Forge is precisely to avoid this.

 

How can I do this?

 

Thank you for reading this, I hope you can give me some advices here. Have a nice day / night!

unregister the old chest and register it as your new chest

Ok, it makes sense. Now how can I unregister blocks? Wiki and forum searches were not helpful.

Thank you so much diesieben07! It was indeed pretty easy! I still have some details to polish before actually releasing, but this would have been a no-go without your help.
