[1.12.2] Smelting Recipes for Ore Variants

[TestBaker]

Good day fellow Modders,

after some succesfull days of coding, I have run into a new problem:

For my new Mod, I have created ores using variants, meaning I haven't initialized every specific ore from a basic ore-class. I just initialized a ore for the overworld and nether. The specific ores are then generated using variants.

This  works perfectly, the problem is about the smelting: the addSmelting method (for block) needs a block input. I have no idea how I can correctly specify my ore variant inside the method, so that it gets accepted.

Maybe using the getBlockbyID method?

Case closed, after 13(250ml) cups of coffee I realised, that I can use the .getBlock() to after the reference, to "convert" from BlockState to Block

[TestBaker]

REWIND!

Well, I'm now able to successfully reference my variant and Eclipse doesnt show any errors, but inGame it still doesnt work.

So far I have been using the addSmelting() of the GameRegistry.

FurnaceRecipes::addSmeltingRecipe(ItemStack, ItemStack, float) doesnt work

Show more of your code.

Here is an example:

GameRegistry.addSmelting(BlockInit.ore_world.getDefaultState().withProperty(BlockOres.VARIANT, EnumHandler.EnumType.tin).getBlock(), new ItemStack(ItemInit.tiningot), 1.0f);

withVariant() and getBlock() are counter to each other.

withVariant() defines which variant (and thus metadata) to use.

getBlock() strips metadata information.

 

If you want to register a variant block as a recipe, you need to get the item stack of that variant. Presumably you have a getDrops() or getPickBlock() method overridden in your block class that will do that.

 

Also, this button is for inline code:

Thank you for the answer and explanation. I'll try it my getPickBlock() method of the base class and report in later.

After multiple tries I started using vanilla items to see if the problem is with the registration.

Have a look at it:

vanilla in- and output, written directly inside the Init of the Main class. It doesn't work.

Well, seppuku is the only way to go for me now...

I realized, that I forgot the EventHandler for Init...

[TestBaker]

Case closed.

Thank u for the help.

The only problem was the missing @EventHandler over Init.

@Draco18sgetBlock() doesn't strip of the metadata, it works perfectly fine now .

If it doesn't, then why does IBlockState exist?

And why would getStateFromMeta exist?

After creating my own thread and looking through this one, I still have not figured out a clear answer to my problem. NO matter what I do with the code I cant give my separate Block Ore Variants smelting recipes that work. I just need an example that works because I cant get it to work despite my numerous hours of research and attempts.
