[Forge 1.12.2] Issues applying .getItemDropped

[boredherobrine13]

Hi, I am recoding my mod for 1.12.2 and in the past I have made a new "BlockX" glass for each new ore so that I can define what item the ore will drop when mined using a method like the following.

Spoiler

	public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune){
		return ModItems.coke;
}

 

However as I continue to expand my mod this is clearly inefficient because I will have a ton of redundant class files. So I'd like to define this when declaring the blocks in my ModBlocks class. However everything I've tried so far has had issues. Ex:

Spoiler

public static BlockOre oreBituminousCoal = new BlockOre("ore_bituminous_coal").setCreativeTab(MoreFuelsMod.creativeTab).getItemDropped(state, rand, fortune);

 

In the case of .getItemDropped(state, rand, fortune) I'm not sure what to input for the state, rand, and fortune. I recognize I need to change my method to something more generic and have it return something else but I'm not sure exactly how to restructure it and if i should mess with the "IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune)" in the original method from above or if I even can remove things. Is this even possible? Am I overlooking something simple?

Well, getItemDropped returns the item dropped. It is not a method that you use to tell the Block class what item to drop.

 

You're going to have to set up a setItemDropped method yourself.
