Custom Slabs

[OrangeySnicket]

To my pleasant surprise, I was actually able to get my code up and running without crashing the game right off the bat. To my less pleasant surprise, the block I was attempting to create didn't seem to actually exist. Even give commands return an error message informing me that such a block could not be found. Yet, insofar as I can tell from the logs, the block is, in fact, registered. Were it an issue with the model or blockstate files, I would have expected to see the pink checkerboard of doom. As is, though, the block simply doesn't seem to exist anywhere in the usable game registry.

My workspace data can be found at https://github.com/OrangeySnicket/CosCraft-Mod/tree/WIP/workspace/InvestitureMod. The block in question is AshTiles. Any help would be appreciated.

You never register an Item for your slab block. You've commented it out.

Oh, good heavens. Well, as usual, it's my own stupidity getting in the way. Thanks for pointing out that glaringly obvious fact that I somehow failed to see as I was checking and re-checking my code. I feel really stupid right now. 

 

For my next inevitably stupid question... I have the slabs working, mostly, but it doesn't seem to be possible to place an upside down slab. I'd assume that that has something to do with my getMetaFromState function, but everything seems to be in order there. Despite the fact that I'm sure it isn't.

It doesnt have anything to do with your getMetaFromState method that is only used to serialize your block to the disk. Your ItemBlock needs to be an ItemSlab.

I fixed that, but it doesn't seem to have actually changed anything. My slabs still behave as though they were full blocks, creating an annoying levitation effect, displayed here. Correspondingly, I still am not able to place slabs upside down.

If it helps at all with diagnosis, when I dig down and attempt to place two slabs in the hole, it glitches a window in the world through which you get a spectator mode view.
