1.12 lang file entries for multi state blocks

[blinky000]

the block has 2 properties {FACING,STYLE} the Unlocalized name is "yb_tudor_set_0"  the only lag tag i see is "tile.yb_tudor_set_0"  how do i name the individual STYLES , like i see for minecraft planks?

Custom ItemBlock classes.

I was afraid of that. So a custom ItemBlock , it must be lol

That's the only way to supply a different unlocalized name for each metadata of the item stack.

In 1.13 I believe that custom ItemBlocks & Metadata are going to be phased out, and your STYLES property should be moved to multiple blocks rather than just the one. Multiple Blocks does not mean Multiple Classes - you can Reinstanitate your original class (with a few modifications) and take your type as a parameter in the constructor

This is a really good point.

See all of these?

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/ores/OresBase.java#L92-L110

Here's the class for all of them:

Well, except diamond.

OK.  I try to use one class for as many blocks as i can.  Not sure how they can totally get rid of metadata tho, unless facing becomes part of the block structure .

so that would mean, if  i have a block with 4 styles, and 11 different blocks(all using the same class) i would have to instantiate 44 different blocks.

Probably not, about Metadata, here is a (badly named) thread about metadata (or lack of it) in 1.13.

 

Basically you need a new block for Variants, but Facing is stored in your block state (Properties, setDefaultState.withProperty, everything the same, but without the old getStateFromMeta & getMetaFromState functions)

 

Your 11 blocks each with 4 variants would yes, become 44 blocks.
They would be probably be instantiated something like this

 

block1_variant1 = new Block("block1_variant1");

block1_variant2 = new Block("block1_variant2");

block1_variant3 = new Block("block1_variant3");

block1_variant4 = new Block("block1_variant4");

block2_variant1 = new Block("block2_variant1");

//...

Or with loops.

foreac(EnumWhatever val in EnumWhatever.values) {
    registerBlock(new Block(val));
}
