Posted September 5, 20187 yr I'm working on a config file where players can set custom behaviors for blocks of vanilla and my and other mods and am having trouble finding a method of turning a string to a block and back. I know it exists, but all of the results I found via google that might answer my question seem to be outdated.

And then call .getValue(ResourceLocation) VANILLA MINECRAFT CLASSES ARE THE BEST RESOURCES WHEN MODDING I will be posting 1.15.2 modding tutorials on this channel. If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect. Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.

And then call .getValue(ResourceLocation) So if I give this a Block class it will give me the String (ie minecraft:oak_log) and vice versa? EDIT: Apparently not. Is the block to string one block.getRegistryName().toString()? EDIT2: I couldn't figure out how to convert a string to a resource location, but I've found Block.getBlockFromName(string). I'm going to do a couple tests to see what these two lines output and go from there. Edited September 6, 20187 yr by 1SDAN

Do not use it, use IForgeRegistry#getValue.
