Hi

 

I would like to make some vanilla blocks water loggable, how would I go about doing that? I have to add the property WATERLOGGED to the block first, then I have to add the IWaterLoggable interface together with its methods. Making my own block class adding that is super easy, but adding it to vanilla blocks  I have no idea how to do.

You need to replace the registry entries for the blocks. Basically just give your own block instance the same registry name of the one you want to overwrite.

Note that:

1. Only one mod can do this per block (obviously).
2. Your block cannot change the block state properties of the original block, because that would break world saves.

 

Ok, so tried that, but it ended up with it complaining that I can't change the order of block properties, so I changed the order of it, same thing. Then I removed it just to see what it said then and then the game crashed due to it not finding the waterlogged property on the block.

 

@Override
protected void fillStateContainer(StateContainer.Builder<Block, BlockState> builder)
{
    super.fillStateContainer(builder); // Doesn't matter which order they are in, still complains. Removing WATERLOGGED crashes the game.
    builder.add(WATERLOGGED);
}

 

How do I avoid that?

Or do you mean by that I can't add new properties to it? I thought you meant I can't remove existing block properties or change how they behave and the range of example an int range.

You can't CHANGE them. That means no adding, no removing.

Hmm... so my best bet is to just make a new block under my mod id and replace the vanilla block recipe to give my block instead?

Ok, so I have made so it uses the parent models of the original vanilla block + item. How do I replace an item in its Creative Tab with my version? So players will be encouraged to use my version.

I interpret the silence as a "no".
