that works but that is not the normal way

 

you should do it like so

EnumFacing orient = state.getValue(BlockDirectional.FACING);

 

Something like this?:

EnumFacing orient = par1block.getDefaultState().getValue(BlockDirectional.FACING);

I'm not 100% sure that I can make this mod work. But this is sort of a challenge for me. I really want to try as hard as I can, with somebody's help of course, if they will.

[loordgek]

 

no that will return null

 

EnumFacing orient = state.getValue(BlockDirectional.FACING);

and you can get the state for world.getBlockStae

[st4s1k]

is this:

AxusAlignedBB Sandbbox = new AxisAlignedBB(i, j, k, (float)i + 1, (float)j + 1, (float)k + 1);

a good replacement for this:

AxisAlignedBB Sandbbox = AxisAlignedBB.getBoundingBox(i, j, k, (float)i + 1, (float)j + 1, (float)k + 1);

?

stop. you have no idea what you are doing

[st4s1k]

Ok, I see I annoy you, maybe I'll try to figure it out for myself.

I appreciate your responses, but telling me that I should stop doesn't really help =D

Maybe my questions may sound silly, idk, I've never been modding before, neither am I doing now. I'm trying to make an old minecraft mod working using my level of Java knowledge. I'm just exploring and I enjoy it. If I enjoy it, why should I simply stop. Or maybe you can give me an alternative starting point?

I had around 1k errors in the code I'm fixing now. Now it's around 300, and every day I'm making a little progress, small steps, but better than yesterday, and I think that's good.

[loordgek]

i can make a new mod for you

=D That sounds very generous of you. I don't think you want to waste your time on somebody else's problems...)

do you know how ASM works if not please stop.

Stop even if you do know how it works

You should start from scratch & then bring some of the old code in once you have good understanding of modding.

I've just ported a very rendering intensive mod from 1.7.10 -> 1.12.2 and I'm a little experienced in it (world rendering particularly) so pm me on discord if you have any questions @Cadiboo#8887

I guess this is what I am going to do. Do you have any advice, that would ease my learning trip? Aside referring to FORGEdocs , because it seems to be superficial.

All it has about rendering is this small paragraph:
https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rendering/teisr/

 

I mean, there is a giant library of minecraft & forge classes, but very little documentation. How can I possibly learn something meaningful? By guessing?

And trial & error, Minecraft isn't anywhere near open-source, so no documentation.
You might want to take a look at https://github.com/Cadiboo/Example-Mod, It's even got some rendering stuff already in there

Oh... ok, thanks.

[st4s1k]

What do you think about MCreator?

[Cadiboo]

Its a great concept, but it was appallingly implemented, has a horrible EULA and results in horrible & messed up code (that can easily break other mods & prevents forge from adding reloadable mods)

Did you manage to port the mod?
