Im updating my mod to 1.5 and I've added all textures using this new system but I have a hand full of blocks that uses minecraft textures

 

Im just wondering what the path is to these textures

 

Im using eclipse as well.

Didn't explain my problem well

 

I know how to add textures in mc 1.5 but Im having trouble assigning my blocks to mc texture for example I want to assign Block1 the sponge texture but I cant seem to get the right path for this block.

 

I thought the problem might be because my mod is in the mods folder and Im just using the incorrect path.

1.5 uses the IconRegister system, not a file reference system.

 

If you want to use "the texture BlockX is using" then you want to reference that block directly, for example:

 

this.blockTexture = Block.sponge.getTextureFromSide(0);

 

Grass does this to get its bottom face, by borrowing dirt's texture (the number passed is the side; 0 is the bottom, 1 is the top, 2-4 are the sides).

 

If you want the texture BlockX would use but make a copy of it (for whatever reason) then you need to register it, e.g.

 

iconRegister.registerIcon("sponge");

 

This is how the vanilla sponge registers its texture.  All vanilla blocks use their unlocalized block name as the string to register their icons.

Thank you, so simple amazed i didn't see this earlier

The whole texture stealing thing I didn't see myself until I went to steal some of the code from the grass block to make a block that camouflaged itself as grass.  Hehe.
