Hi,

I know this has been asked 1000s of times, but I couldn't find the answer to what's wrong with my block. So the block in game displays the model and texture fine. But doesn't actually change which way it's facing.

Using the Pumpkin as reference I created the block class:

package madman.lonelytraveller.objects.objectclasses;

import madman.lonelytraveller.Main;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockHorizontal;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.properties.IProperty;
import net.minecraft.block.state.BlockStateContainer;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing;
import net.minecraft.util.Rotation;

public class BlockBaseNotCubeRotate extends BlockBase {


	public BlockBaseNotCubeRotate(Material material, String name) {
		super(material,name);
		this.setDefaultState(this.blockState.getBaseState().withProperty(BlockHorizontal.FACING, EnumFacing.NORTH));
	
	}

	@Override
	@Deprecated
	public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state) {
		return false;
	}
	
	@Override
	@Deprecated
	public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state) {
		return false;
	}
	
	  public IBlockState withRotation(IBlockState state, Rotation rot)
	    {
	        return state.withProperty(BlockHorizontal.FACING, rot.rotate((EnumFacing)state.getValue(BlockHorizontal.FACING)));
	    }
	
	    public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta)
	    {
	        return this.getDefaultState().withProperty(BlockHorizontal.FACING, EnumFacing.getHorizontal(meta));
	    }
	    
	    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state)
	    {
	        return ((EnumFacing)state.getValue(BlockHorizontal.FACING)).getHorizontalIndex();
	    }

	    protected BlockStateContainer createBlockState()
	    {
	        return new BlockStateContainer(this, new IProperty[] {BlockHorizontal.FACING});
	    }
	    
	    
	    
}
	

 

And them my blockstate file is:

{
    "forge_marker": 1,
    "variants": {       
        "facing=north": { "model": "dw_lonelytraveller:gallifrey_chair_council" },
        "facing=east":  { "model": "dw_lonelytraveller:gallifrey_chair_council", "y": 90 },
        "facing=south": { "model": "dw_lonelytraveller:gallifrey_chair_council", "y": 180 },
        "facing=west":  { "model": "dw_lonelytraveller:gallifrey_chair_council", "y": 270 },
        "inventory": { "model": "dw_lonelytraveller:gallifrey_chair_council" }      
    }
}
    
    
    

 

The Console Output *I know there isn't an Item Blockstate yet. :

You are mixing vanilla blockstate format with forge's. Use either one but not both.

extends BlockBase

BlockBase is an antipattern. There is already a BlockBase, it's called Block.

Well, why should it? You've specified the property fine, (de)serializing it fine, sure. But you are not doing anything with it. You are not setting it anywhere, nor handling it in Block#getStateForPlacement or anywhere else. Unless you are using vanilla's setBlock to set the property it will always be facing north.

 

As for your log:

This should now be fixed.

I though it would be wise that I can edit BlockBase and it take those into account  in future uses when I did it, though it may not ever be used the idea was more just in case.

I'm aware that the item blockstate doesn't exist, just wanted to make sure nothing was missed. But thanks for confirming that's all it is.

Yeah, it's working now thanks. Just didn't check over what I had done well enough apparently. I've now fixed that up. Thanks for the help.
