Don't use the model mesher, use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

Just for this instance of the itemSubtypes or in general for registering renderers?

For everything.

So i registered renders for the different subtypes and it picked up on when the meta is 0 but i still see no item in the creative tab for the other subtype. I feel like i haven't registered the subTypes of the itemBlock. This is the new rendering method i used.

public class ModBlocks {

}

So, a couple things.

 

1) You can't register the renderer in common code.

2) If a subtype isn't showing up in the creative menu, that's because you haven't overriden getSubItemsin your Item class.

I'm not registering the rendering in common code.

What do I override getSubItems with?

I'm asking so many questions cuz i really dont have a good example to study and figure it out from. Sorry

Edited February 14, 20178 yr by kitsushadow

You know how to override a method right?

Yes....  I'm asking what the contents of the method should be. Or am i not adding anything to the method?

 

I say that because I overrode the method in the ItemBlock class but nothing changed. I remember vaguely about needing to make an Enum with the subTypes in it or something. I can't remember. 

 

And i still don't feel like the itemSubtypes are being registered.

Seriously, what?

Fuck.

Yes you are.

You have Minecraft.getMinecraft() in your ModBlocks class and it's not marked Side Only: Client. Your ModBlocks class is common code. Therefor you have client-only code in a common location. THIS WILL CRASH THE DEDICATED SERVER.  Don't believe me? Hit the little  ▼ next to the Run button and click "Server"

 

What was that random f word for tho 

 

He's frustrated i dont understand the basics of the Forge Framework... I'm actually pretty frustrated myself with it. Tons of not so great tutorials and it kinda lands you right where we are now. Regardless, yes ur right at @Draco18s i setup a ServerStart and it did crash exactly how u said it would.

Thanks for the source code example, that makes our lives a little easier.

I added the ClientSide Annotation and the server crash is gone, i'll add the enum object tomorrow and try again. 

Thanks for your patience guys =)

More like the basics of Java.  Method overriding isn't that hard, looking at examples in vanilla isn't that hard either, and intuiting what the method should do based on the parameter names, return type, and javadoc isn't super complicated.

Shit, I know how to override a fkng method. My previous question wasn't about the method override it was about the content of the override.
Thanks for the help thus far mate, I know it's like pulling teeth dealing with some people but you should consider that the feeling is mutual. I stay patient and ask the simple stupid questions to progress the resolution of the issue. Please share the same patience as those whose whom your helping.


 

Having to repeatedly ask everybody the same stupid question is why I don't have any patience.  There's a reason the "Frequently Asked Questions" thread is actually called the "Excessively Asked Questions" thread.

 

Asking "I overrode the method, but didn't put anything in it, nothing changed" is pretty freaking dumb.  Of course nothing changed, the default behavior is an empty method.  Right click -> Find all references.
