Making a mod and need help with features

[Acid Gamer]

I am making a Minecraft Mod for 1.12.2 Forge 14.23.5.2768, I'm using Eclipse Java Oxygen which has been setup already and I have added all the necessary code to add a block and four items.

I am new to Mod Development which is why I have come seeking help

 

the very first thing I need is a custom crafting table that has the below features
- Can craft in a 3x3 area

- Can have more than 1 output

- has a unique texture on the top, sides and bottom like a Vanilla Crafting Table

I'd appreciate the help thx

I would suggest that the very first thing you need to do is to create and play around with stuff like tile entities and GUIs.

This way, you will be more familiar with how some modding concepts work.

Starting with a crafting GUI, which requires an IRecipe inplementation as well as a tile entity, including an GUI that handles the crafting interaction, can be rather confusing and unintuitive.

 

As for your problem:

1. Override Block#onBlockActivated and open the GUI in Block#onBlockActivated in your crafting table class.
2. Create a tile entity for your crafting table (not needed if you don't want your crafting table to retain its content when the GUI is closed).
3. Create a GuiContainer for your GUI. For more details, take a look at the vanilla crafting table.
4. Create an IRecipe implementation for your crafting recipes.

 

A detailed explanation of how an IRecipe implementation works can be found here:

okay, I came across a bit of an issue when going through the link in the comment above... I'll let you guys have a look

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.IRecipe;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.Ingredient;
import net.minecraft.util.NonNullList;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

import net.minecraftforge.registries.IForgeRegistryEntry;

public class CraftingTableTier2 extends BlockBase implements IRecipe { //Error: The interface IForgeRegistryEntry cannot be implemented more than once with different arguments: IForgeRegistryEntry<Block> and IForgeRegistryEntry<IRecipe>
    
    public CraftingTableTier2(String name, Material material) {
        
        super(name, material);
        setSoundType(SoundType.METAL);
        setHardness(50.0f);
        setResistance(6000.0f);
        setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 3);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean matches(InventoryCrafting inv, World worldIn) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public ItemStack getCraftingResult(InventoryCrafting inv) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canFit(int width, int height) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public ItemStack getRecipeOutput() {
        return null;
    }
    
    public NonNullList<ItemStack> getRemainingItems() {
        return null;
    }
    
    public NonNullList<Ingredient> getIngredients() {
        return null;
    }
    
    public boolean isHidden() {
        return false;
    }
    
    public String getGroup() {
        return null;
    }
}

1. Stop using BlockBase. It is a very bad practice (please refer to the Common issues and recommendations). In your case, your CraftingTableTier2 should just extend Block.

2. IRecipe implementations are completely irrelevant to your crafting table. It does not make sense to have your crafting table block implement IRecipe. Implement IRecipe in a different class.

EntityPlayer#openGui.

That doesn't really help me...

I found the Dispenser class and I'm using it's code as a ref for what I should do... wish me luck

If you are making a crafting table why you take the code from the dispenser? Just take the crafting table one.
