Hi, I am using the following code to create an item block, and to name the items. 

 

The problem I am having is the code creates a blank line in the item name, and I assume it is because I am using addInformation().

 

How do I give each item in a multiblock it's own name?

 

 

public class TreeSmall_Logs_IB extends ItemBlock {

public static final String	blockType[]	= { "banana", "orange" };

public TreeSmall_Logs_IB(int par1) {
	super(par1);
	this.setMaxDamage(0);
	this.setHasSubtypes(true);
}

@Override
public int getMetadata(int metadata) {
	return metadata;
}

@Override
public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack itemstack) {
	int i = MathHelper.clamp_int(itemstack.getItemDamage(), 0, 3);
	return new StringBuilder().append(blockType[i]).append("Log").toString();
}

    @SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes" })
@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void addInformation (ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, List list, boolean par4)
{
    	switch (stack.getItemDamage() % blockType.length)
    	{
    	case 0: 
    		list.add("Banana Tree Wood");
    		break;
    	case 1:
    		list.add("Orange Tree Wood");
    		break;
    	}
}
}

Short answer:

Add your blockType array to your main mod class as private static final string[] using the names you want to display.

Put this code in your main mod class after the registerRenderers() function is called. TreeSmall_Logs is whatever the name of your block class will be.

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(TreeSmall_Logs, TreeSmall_Logs_IB.class);
ItemStack multiBlockStack = new ItemStack(treeSmallLogs, 1, ix);
LanguageRegistry.addName(multiBlockStack, blockType[multiBlockStack.getItemDamage()]);

 

Now go to your TreeSmall_Logs_IB class and add the method:

 

@Override
public String getItemNameIS(ItemStack itemstack) {
	if(itemstack.getItemDamage() > 1)
                            return getItemName() + "." + blockType[0];
                return getItemName() + "." + blockType[itemstack.getItemDamage()];
}

Yay tutorials?

Ok, I have that sorted, because I am using 1.5.1 the code is a little different, here is the code for any one interested:

 

 

 

 

public class TreeSmall_Saplings_IB extends ItemBlock {

 

public static final String[] blockType = { "banana_sapling", "orange_sapling" };

 

public TreeSmall_Saplings_IB(int iblock_id) {

super(iblock_id);

this.setMaxDamage(0);

this.setHasSubtypes(true);

}

 

@Override

public int getMetadata(int metadata) {

return metadata;

}

 

@Override

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack itemstack) {

return this.getUnlocalizedName()  + blockType[itemstack.getItemDamage()];

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

But I now have another problem.  Using this code to create saplings:  http://paste.minecraftforge.net/view/9901cb84

 

and code similar to the above for the ItemBlock, I get the correct names, and I get the correct icon when I plant a sapling, but in the creative tab I get the same icon for both saplings, that being the first icon.    Any clues as to why both items have the same icon?
