Hey there!

Can anybody help me with getting metadata for blocks in 1.5.1

All what i got - is different icons in inventory of blocks sub-id, but i allways get  default block with no meta texture when placing it.

Here is my block code

 

package pyani.spellblock;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.*;

public class BlockBricked extends Block 
{
protected Icon[] icon = new Icon[2]; 

public BlockBricked(int ID, Material material) 
{super(ID, material);}

/**Adds the texture from the directory stated**/
@Override
public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)
{
icon[0] = iconRegister.registerIcon("spellblock:Bricks");
icon[1] = iconRegister.registerIcon("spellblock:Bricks2");
}
    @Override
    public int damageDropped(int meta){
            return meta;
    }
    
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public Icon getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(int side, int meta)
{
return icon[meta];
}
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void getSubBlocks(int unknown, CreativeTabs tab, List subItems) {
    	for (int ix = 0; ix < 2; ix++) {
    		subItems.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, ix));
    	}
    }
}

I just got started today and have run into the same issue.  Did you get it sorted out?

Have you tried overridng the other texture related method's like getIcon?
