How can I override or extend an already existing block without editing base classes? Is it even possible? I think Railcraft does it with normal rails, doesn't it? (As a specific example, I would like to change wheat a bit...)

 

I'm just curious because I'm thinking up future mod ideas I could work on.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Is it that simple, or does anything special have to go in my main mod class besides the usual for adding a block. I'd assume you would make it's id the same as the old vanilla block.

It's still a new block (just as if you'd extended Block) so all the usual things apply.

 

But really, that's it.

 

Any functions you want to "remove" you need to create a new one (even if blank) and use the @Override annotation (which you should be doing anyway).
