I have a block which can be placed to face different directions, but as soon as you relog all of them reset to the direction North...

public class BlockMagicWood extends BasicBlock {
	
	
	public static PropertyDirection FACING = PropertyDirection.create("facing");	
	
	public BlockMagicWood() {
		super(Material.WOOD, Reference.WandustrieBlocks.MAGICWOOD.getUnlocalizedName(), Reference.WandustrieBlocks.MAGICWOOD.getRegistryName());
		this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.UP));
	}
	
    @Override
    protected BlockStateContainer createBlockState() {
    	return new BlockStateContainer(this, new IProperty[] {FACING});
    }
    
    @Override
	public void onBlockPlacedBy(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityLivingBase placer,
			ItemStack stack) {
		worldIn.setBlockState(pos, state.withProperty(FACING,  EnumFacing.getDirectionFromEntityLiving(pos, placer)));
		super.onBlockPlacedBy(worldIn, pos, state, placer, stack);
	}
    
    @Override
    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) {
    	return state.getValue(FACING).getIndex();
    }
    
    
    @Override
    public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) {
    	return getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.getFront(meta));
    }
    
    

}

 

Your facing value from getStateFromMeta doesn't take account of the Y axis. Do this

 

@Override
	public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) {
	EnumFacing enumFacing = EnumFacing.getFront(meta);

	if (enumFacing.getAxis() == EnumFacing.Axis.Y) {
		enumFacing = EnumFacing.NORTH;
	}

	return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, enumFacing);
	}

 

Also you should set default blockstate when a block gets added onto the world.

 

@Override
    public void onBlockAdded(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state)
    {
        this.setDefaultFacing(worldIn, pos, state);
    }

Why are you not using BlockLogBase or BlockCollumn as a super class?

Not everyone knows everything. You could suggest it on a nice way. Stop been like that all the time.

"I want to make a block that works like the log works..."

Normal person:

"Let me go look at the log class, oh hey, BlockLogNew extends BlockLogBase!"

Didn't see that. But actually I need more rotations than a vanilla tree. I'll look into that another time..

Ok... didn't see that

I'll try that out as as possible
