[SOLVED] Overriding/Extending an Already Existing Block

[Cannash]

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.

public class MyBlock extends VanillaBlock {

}

public class MyBlock extends VanillaBlock {

public class MyBlock extends VanillaBlock {
//code
}

 

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).

Okay, thanks!
