Directional placing [1.10.2]

[FaeThorn]

Hello i have been on this problem for a while and is stumped at the moment so i have no idea what i should do as of hint as in why i am here now. If any one can help me that would be awesome. This is my first time making a mod for Minecraft but i know some what about java so ill try my best to understand.

 

So what is happening is that i am trying to get a block to place in the direction of what i am facing. I have no clue what to do now. In-game i see my texture for my model in my inventory and i can place it. f3 also confirms i am placing it in a certain direction.

 

This is the code for my block

 

package faethorn.magitech.blocks;

import faethorn.magitech.Reference;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockHorizontal;
import net.minecraft.block.SoundType;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockStateContainer;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class BlockCrystalGrinder extends BlockHorizontal {

	public BlockCrystalGrinder() {
		super(Material.ANVIL);
		setUnlocalizedName(Reference.MagiTechBlocks.CRYSTALGRINDER.getUnlocalizedName());
		setRegistryName(Reference.MagiTechBlocks.CRYSTALGRINDER.getRegistryName());
		setHardness(5.0f);
		setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH));
	}
	
	@Override
	public IBlockState onBlockPlaced(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ,int meta, EntityLivingBase placer) {
		IBlockState state = super.onBlockPlaced(worldIn, pos, facing, hitX, hitY, hitZ, meta, placer);
		return state.withProperty(FACING, placer.getHorizontalFacing() );
	}
	@Override
	public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state) {
		return state.getValue(FACING).getHorizontalIndex();
	}
	@Override
	public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) {
		return getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.getHorizontal(meta));
	}
	@Override
	protected BlockStateContainer createBlockState() {
		return new BlockStateContainer(this, FACING);
	}
}

 

This is code for my ModBlock.

package faethorn.magitech.init;

import javax.tools.Tool;

import faethorn.magitech.blocks.BlockCrystalGrinder;
import faethorn.magitech.blocks.BlockFayriumOre;

import faethorn.magitech.items.ItemMagiIngot;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.Item.ToolMaterial;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class ModBlocks {
	
	public static Block fayriumore;
	public static Block crystalgrinder;
	
	public static void init() {
		fayriumore = new BlockFayriumOre();
		crystalgrinder = new BlockCrystalGrinder();
	}

	public static void register() {
		registerBlock(fayriumore);
		registerBlock(crystalgrinder);
		
			}
	
	private static void registerBlock(Block block) {
		GameRegistry.register(block);
		ItemBlock item = new ItemBlock(block);
		item.setRegistryName(block.getRegistryName());
		GameRegistry.register(item);
		
	}
	
	public static void registerRenders() {
		registerRender(fayriumore);
		registerRender(crystalgrinder);
		
	}
	private static void registerRender(Block block) {
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(Item.getItemFromBlock(block),0,new ModelResourceLocation(block.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));
	}
}

Okay update i got it to where it fixes textures in game but it does not rotate block 

[FaeThorn]

hey hey glad to say that i fixed this problem though it was kinda hacky the way i did it probably not the correct way i fixed it so thanks!

[Daeruin]

Often the best way to fix problems like this is to look at the vanilla code for a block that does the same thing. For example, check the code for pistons.

[FaeThorn]

Aw yes I didn't even think about looking at vanilla code I will have to keep this in mind next time I have a problem thanks!
