Second time bothering you guys. I'll make a habit out of this

 

So, I'm having trouble with creating a metadata block that has differing textures and name from the normal one.

 

Main .class:

 

package scienceMod;

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.item.crafting.FurnaceRecipes;

import net.minecraft.src.ModLoader;

import net.minecraftforge.client.MinecraftForgeClient;

import net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Init;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.PreInit;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.SidedProxy;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkMod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;

 

@Mod(modid = "mod_scienceMod", name = "Science Mod", version = "1.0")

@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired = true, serverSideRequired = false)

 

 

public class scienceMod

{

@SidedProxy(clientSide = "scienceMod.ClientProxy", serverSide = "scienceMod.CommonProxy")

public static CommonProxy proxy;

 

public static int scienceMetaItemID;

public static int scienceMetaIngotID;

public static int scienceMetaOreID;

public static int scienceMetaOreBlockID;

 

public static Item scienceMetaItem;

public static Item scienceMetaOre;

public static Item scienceMetaIngot;

 

public static Block scienceMetaOreBlock;

 

 

 

@PreInit

public void loadConfig(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)

{

Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());

 

config.load();

 

scienceMetaOreID = config.getItem("Science Ore ID", 10500).getInt();

scienceMetaItemID = config.getItem("Science Item ID", 10501).getInt();

scienceMetaIngotID = config.getItem("Science Ingot ID", 10502).getInt();

scienceMetaOreBlockID = config.getBlock("Science Ore ID", 500).getInt();

 

config.save();

}

 

 

 

@Init

public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event)

{

addItems();

nameItems();

registerItems();

addBlocks();

registerBlocks();

 

MinecraftForgeClient.preloadTexture("/testMod/mod_items.png");

MinecraftForgeClient.preloadTexture("/testMod/mod_blocks.png");

 

proxy.registerRenderThings();

}

 

 

 

public static void addBlocks()

{

scienceMetaOreBlock = new BlockScienceMetaOre(scienceMetaOreBlockID).setBlockName("Meta Ore Block");

}

 

 

 

public void registerBlocks()

{

//Ore Blocks

GameRegistry.registerBlock(scienceMetaOreBlock, "Meta Ore Block");

ModLoader.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOreBlock, 1, 0), "Cuprite");

ModLoader.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOreBlock, 1, 1), "Cassiterite");

ModLoader.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOreBlock, 1, 2), "Periclase");

ModLoader.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOreBlock, 1, 3), "Garnierite");

}

 

 

 

public static void addItems()

{

scienceMetaItem = new ItemScienceMetaItem(scienceMetaItemID).setItemName("Meta Item");

scienceMetaIngot = new ItemScienceMetaIngot(scienceMetaIngotID).setItemName("Meta Ingot");

scienceMetaOre = new ItemScienceMetaOre(scienceMetaOreID).setItemName("Meta Ore");

// item = new item.class(int itemID).setItemName(string name)

}

 

 

 

private void registerItems()

{

GameRegistry.registerItem(scienceMetaItem, "Meta Item");

GameRegistry.registerItem(scienceMetaIngot, "Meta Ingot");

GameRegistry.registerItem(scienceMetaOre, "Meta Ore");

// GameRegistry.registerItem(Item item, string name)

}

 

 

 

private void nameItems()

{

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaItem, 1, 0), "Gearbox");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaItem, 1, 1), "Wire");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaItem, 1, 2), "Magnet");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaItem, 1, 3), "Coil");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaIngot, 1, 0), "Copper Ingot");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaIngot, 1, 1), "Tin Ingot");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaIngot, 1, 2), "Magnesium Ingot");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaIngot, 1, 3), "Nickel Ingot");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOre, 1, 0), "Cuprite Chunk");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOre, 1, 1), "Cassiterite Chunk");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOre, 1, 2), "Periclase Chunk");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(scienceMetaOre, 1, 3), "Garnierite Chunk");

// LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(Item item, int amount, int meta), string name)

}

 

 

}

 

And the BlockScienceMetaOre.class:

 

package scienceMod;

 

import java.util.List;

import java.util.Random;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

 

public class BlockScienceMetaOre extends Block

{

public static String[] scienceMetaOreBlockNames = new String[]{"Cuprite", "Cassiterite", "Periclase", "Garnierite"};

 

public BlockScienceMetaOre(int id)

{

super(id, Material.rock);

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

}

 

public String getTextureFile()

{

return CommonProxy.blocks;

}

 

public int getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata (int side, int metadata) {

return 16+metadata;

}

 

@Override

public int idDropped(int par1, Random rand, int par2)

{

return scienceMod.scienceMetaOre.itemID;

}

 

 

@Override

public int damageDropped(int i)

    {

return i;

    }

 

public int quantityDropped(Random rand)

{

int drop = 1;

return drop;

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void getSubBlocks(int par1, CreativeTabs tab, List subItems) {

for (int ix = 0; ix < 4; ix++) {

subItems.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, ix));

}

}

}

 

 

 

Have tried a number of different methods, and I'm feeling really clueless now, so please help.

 

For the science. 

You need an itemBlock (Your item oreclass)

 

That class stores the metainformation.

 

public class OreMetaItem extends ItemBlock

{

    public OreMetaItem(int par1)

    {

          super(par1);

          setHasSubtypes(true);

    }

 

    public int getMetadata(int par1)

    {

        return par1;

    }

 

}

 

Than you have to add this to your BaseModfile

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(block, ItemBlock.class);

 

 

Weird, that cause me to error like hell earlier. Oh well, I guess I'll try it again.

 

Edit: okay, I got them to spawn as separate blocks that drop the respective ores. Next thing is fixing the names. I don't want my periclase called garnierite.

 

Edit 2: And it's working, thanks for the help.
