Posted October 15, 20178 yr Right now I have a generic ItemBlock registered for my Block. event.getRegistry().register(new ItemBlock(Blocks.miner).setRegistryName(Blocks.miner.getRegistryName())); My Block makes use of a PropertyInteger. When my Block is broken I need the dropped item to preserve that value so that when it is placed again the new block will have the same value. How do I do this? Do I need to create my own ItemBlock? Does anyone have an easy example of this that I can look at?
October 15, 20178 yr There are already two subclasses of ItemBlock, one of which should do what you need. The issue is that the ItemBlock class (by default, unless override by a subclass) ignores metadata when placing its block.

If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

October 15, 20178 yr Minecraft, they're used by wool, planks, etc. They're easy enough to find. Right click -> open type hierarchy. You'll want the one not called "colored" because it inverts the metadata value because Mojang made colors backwards.

October 15, 20178 yr Author Thanks. Saw ItemColored but dismissed it because of the name "color". But after looking at the implementation it makes sense. Thanks again.
October 15, 20178 yr Oh yeah, making a custom subclass is easy. You just have to override like, two methods. It just so happens that for the most part, there's already ItemMultiTexture (iirc) that already does it.
