I am trying to create a container/tile entity for a block I am making. I have been following a tutorial that described it step by step. I followed the tutorial to the word and somehow I still have an error with setting an NBT tag to an item, even when in the tutorial, there are no errors.

 

Here is the code for the method involved:

 

private void dropItems(World world, int x, int y, int z){
        Random rand = new Random();
       
        TileEntity tile_entity = world.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);
       
        if(!(tile_entity instanceof IInventory)){
                return;
        }

        IInventory inventory = (IInventory) tile_entity;

        for(int i = 0; i < inventory.getSizeInventory(); i++){
                ItemStack item = inventory.getStackInSlot(i);
               
                if(item != null && item.stackSize > 0){
                float rx = rand.nextFloat() * 0.6F + 0.1F;
                float ry = rand.nextFloat() * 0.6F + 0.1F;
                float rz = rand.nextFloat() * 0.6F + 0.1F;
               
                EntityItem entity_item = new EntityItem(world, x + rx, y + ry, z + rz, new ItemStack(item.itemID, item.stackSize, item.getItemDamage()));
               
                if(item.hasTagCompound()){
                        entity_item.item.setTagCompound((NBTTagCompound) item.getTagCompound().copy());
                }

                float factor = 0.5F;
               
                entity_item.motionX = rand.nextGaussian() * factor;
                entity_item.motionY = rand.nextGaussian() * factor + 0.2F;
                entity_item.motionZ = rand.nextGaussian() * factor;
                world.spawnEntityInWorld(entity_item);
                item.stackSize = 0;
                }
        }
}

 

The affected line is

entity_item.item.setTagCompound((NBTTagCompound) item.getTagCompound().copy());

 

More specifically, there is an error in the .item. part saying "Item cannot be resolved or is not a field". I checked the Containers and GUIs tutorial on the wiki, but all they have in that place is .func_92014_d(). which is hardly helpful.

 

Does anyone have any idea what to do? Thanks!

Scratch that. I've had it answered by someone in the IRC

Please tell, how did you fix it? I keep running into it over and over again.

 

Edit: never mind, fixed it!
