Alright, I have a block that I am trying to mimic glowstone with. The problem is, the block always has the sound of stone when it breaks and not the glass sound that I want (and I assume this is due to the material of the block not being set).

 

Here is my block's class:

public class BlockElementalLight extends BlockBase
{

    public BlockElementalLight() {
		super("light_elemental", Material.GLASS);
		setHardness(0.3F);
		setResistance(1.5F);
		setLightLevel(1.0F);
	}

	public int quantityDroppedWithBonus(int fortune, Random random)
    {
        return MathHelper.clamp(this.quantityDropped(random) + random.nextInt(fortune + 1), 1, 4);
    }

    public int quantityDropped(Random random)
    {
        return 2 + random.nextInt(3);
    }

    public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune)
    {
        return ItemsAdjunct.dustElementalMixture;
    }

    public MapColor getMapColor(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos)
    {
        return MapColor.ORANGE_STAINED_HARDENED_CLAY;
    }
}

Here is the BlockBase class:

public class BlockBase extends Block implements IHasModel {
	
	public BlockBase(String name, Material material) {
		super(material);
		setUnlocalizedName(name);
		setRegistryName(name);
		setCreativeTab(CreativeTabsAdjunct.tabAdjunct);
	}
	
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void initModel() {
        ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(this), 0, new ModelResourceLocation(getRegistryName(), "inventory"));
    }

}

And here's my blocks class where this is registered

public class BlocksAdjunct {
	
	@GameRegistry.ObjectHolder("adjunct:light_elemental")
	public static BlockElementalLight lightElemental;
	
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static void initModels() {
        lightElemental.initModel();
    }
	
}

Thanks.

You can set the blocksound with 

setSoundType(SoundType.GLASS);

Inside the constructor. Where you have your other setters

Nonononono BlockBase Bad.

Do not abuse inheritance just to write less code.

 

IHasModel is also unnecessary.

Please read the common problems and suggestion for more info.

Thank you. Does it not come with the material anymore?

This is true. Just make your class extend Block. You also should not use this IHasModel thing. I bet you are also using a common proxy wich is also bad!
