Why blockitems disappear from creative menu, if i override a block?

[Drachenbauer]

Hello

 

I overrided some minecraft-blocks (register with original vanilla registrynames) to change theil particles.

Now their blockitems are disappeared from the creative menu...

 

Why this?

Surprise! Items in your inventory that are blocks are still Items. You didn't override the item, just the block, so the BlockItem instance is invalid and points at air.

I know, that they are items there.

 

How do i fix this?

 

Animefan8888 sayd in the other thread, that there is no need to override the blockitems too...

With a give-command i get working blockitems.

 

Just, if i try to place the wall-type of the redstone-torch, a weird bug-block with name "air" and red particles appears.

 

And i wonder why torches and heads are coded as two blocks, one for wall and one for ground?

What about just choosing a model by blockstate-json?

About the blockitems:

 

I think, he just meaned, i don´ have to create blockitems with custom registrynames, i have to override them like the blocks, giving them the existing vanilla registrynames.

 

Now they appear in the creative inventory and i can place redstone torches successfully at walls, too.

Technically you don't have to register an Item at all. You just need to update the Item.BLOCK_TO_ITEM mapping. Like so

Item.BLOCK_TO_ITEM.put(myOverridenBlock, Items.ITEM_I_WANT);
