[1.11] Get neighbor block from EnumFacing

[AnZaNaMa]

Hello, just a quick simple question. Is there a specific way to get a neighbor of a block based on the way it's facing (PropertyFacing)? Like if a block is facing north, is there a way to use that EnumFacing direction to get the block next to it in that direction, or do I just need to implement it myself?

EnumFacing#offset

Did you mean BlockPos#offset?

`BlockPos#getOffset()` ?

One more question... I have a PropertyFacing on my block:

public static final PropertyDirection FACING = PropertyDirection.create("facing");

    public BlockRotable(Material material, String name, boolean addToCreativeTab) {
        super(material, name, addToCreativeTab);
    }

    @Override
    public BlockStateContainer createBlockState(){
        return new BlockStateContainer(this, FACING);
    }

    @Override
    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state){
        return state.getValue(FACING).getIndex();
    }

    @Override
    public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta){
        return getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.getFront(meta));
    }

    @Override
    public IBlockState getStateForPlacement(World world, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing face, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ, int meta, EntityLivingBase placer){
        return getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, placer.getHorizontalFacing().getOpposite());
    }

So once it do `World#getBlockState` how can I use that BlockState to get the direction the block is facing?

 

Also how do you do code snippets on the new forum design (which is amazing by the way)

BlockPos#offset returns a new BlockPos offset in the direction of an EnumFacing by a specified amount (or 1).

 

There is no method called BlockPos#getOffset.

Use IBlockState#getValue to get the value of a property. Forge's documentation has an introduction to block states here.

Thank you for your help, I got it working. One thing I miss about the old forums is the little button you could press to thank someone for their answer.

Instead, you can "like" a post on the right of the replies.

Something like that. I was tired.
