Hi there.

 

I'm exploring custom crops in modding and I thought I had things figured out but my crop never drops anything: no seeds, no custom crops no matter what the crop's age is.

 

I also tried changing the items in getSeed() and getCrop() to Items.WHEAT_SEEDS and Items.WHEAT respectively, just in case it was an issue with initialization of my custom items but it doesn't change anything.

 

Below is my code for the crop class, am I doing something wrong?

 

public class BlockCustomCropBottom extends BlockCrops {
	
	// Blocks's registry name
	private static final String REGISTRY_NAME = "custom_crop_bottom";
	// Blocks's unlocalized name
	private static final String UNLOCALIZED_NAME = TestMod.MOD_ID + "."
			+ REGISTRY_NAME;
	
	public BlockCustomCropBottom() {
		// Set registry and unlocalized name of the block
		this.setRegistryName(REGISTRY_NAME);
		this.setUnlocalizedName(UNLOCALIZED_NAME);
	}
	
	// Returns the seed belonging to this crop
	@Override
	protected Item getSeed() {
		System.out.println("\n\nSeeds\n");
		
		return Items.WHEAT_SEEDS;
	}
	
	// Returns the crop item gained when this crop is harvested
	@Override
	protected Item getCrop() {
		return Items.WHEAT;
	}
	
}

 

Thanks in advance.

Does this ever get called?

Nope, I used it to check but it never gets printed, which means to me that the function itself isn't used which is... strange.

Is there any more information I can provide? I've been trying to figure this out for like an hour aha.

Step through your code with the debugger, see where that method would normally get called. Find out the difference between stuff that works and your code

About that, isn't the method called by MC/Forge when the plant is broken?

 

Edit: To clear things up, I'm not really sure where to put the breakpoints/check things out because if my function isn't even being called then it won't do much to put it there.

The vanilla equivalent. Find out how it normally works

So, we can go ahead and close or remove this thread, it turns out the "issue" had nothing to do with Forge or modding, and mostly just my stupidity...

Please post the solution for people with same problem!

The solution? Make sure you're in survival mode. ?

 

I was in Creative mode for testing and forgot to switch over to survival mode which means no drops when destroying blocks!
