Aloha,

 

I just have a quick question.

 

When the player uses the /bn command, the server sends the Block name back. And i do that with:

sender.sendChatToPlayer(StringTranslate.getInstance().translateNamedKey(Block.blocksList[bID].getBlockName()));

 

And this works fine with all Blocks except the Multi Blocks (Blocks with metadata).

 

How do i get the names using the Block id and metadata on the server side?

i get metadata from

world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z);

 

And is there a way to check if a Block has metadata in the first place?

 

Thank you for your help.

As far as I can tell by looking into the BlockWood and the Metadata generic mod tutorial there's no way to get the name of the sub block from the ID and metadata. I haven't tried for myself but looking at the Tutorial code and the BlockWood it seems you have to do something to check the bID and then check the metadata i.e:

if (bID == BlockWood.BlockID){
switch(metadata)
case 0: return "Oak Wood"; 
case 1: return "Spurce wood";
