Forgive me if this is a duplicate answer, I haven't been able to find anything relating to this.

 

How can I test if a block at position x,y,z is a type of ore? Something like this

MinecraftServer server = FMLCommonHandler.instance().getMinecraftServerInstance();
World world = server.getWorld(0);
IBlockState state = world.getBlockState(pos);
Block block = state.getBlock();

if (block.type == Type.ORE) {
	// do smthing
}

 

I cannot just manually check for every ore type, because depending on how many other mods are installed, there could be a lot of different ores.

I'm not really sure how to proceed from here, as I can't find anything regarding the type of a block.

 

Thanks in advance

You do realize you have to create your own optional dependency for every mod you want to add support for?

 

Minecraft you can just check if the block is an instance of OreBlock. However, every other mod you would need to check individually as there is likely no centralization.

When you say, "just check if the block is an instance of OreBlock", do you mean something like this?

if (event.getState().getBlock() instanceof BlockOre) {
	System.out.println("Yes");
}

 

That should work fine

And regarding other mod support, I'll do some research on how to implement general mod supportivity, but specifically regarding checking if the block that I mine is an instance of their mod, would it be similar to 

block_mined instanceof BlockOre

or is it something entirely different? I would assume because other mod's ores would still be extensions of the BlockOre class that this code would work. 

It makes no sense if the block is an extension of OreBlock. That's coded for the sole purpose of programming all ores into a single class. Most mods just use a standard Block instance or have their own single class handler for ores.

And one final thing, why is redstone ore not an instance of BlockOre?

 

It has its own custom properties that are unique to that block.

My ores aren't "ores" either:
