[1.12.2] Ore Dictionary Property Registry

[BlackSun559]

I was wondering if there is a way to register an ore block to the ore dictionary when it depends on a property. I have a block that uses a enum property to tell which ore it is and I would like to be able to register the different enum values under different ore dictionary tags. I know that I can use the block, item or itemstack to register to the ore dictionary but I would need to get the property from a blockstate to tell which ore variant it is. So I'm just wondering if there is a way to do that or if I would have to change a lot of the infrastructure of the ores to accommodate the ore dictionary.

Hey!

 

ItemStacks are what are actually registered, not blocks, so just register the item versions of your ores, and it should be fine.

if your PropertyEnum is the only property on your Block, use Enum::ordinal as your meta.

You will need to override Block::getStateFromMeta & Block::getMetaFromState, if you haven't already, of course.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get it to work correctly now!
