Hi! I am trying to make subblock with same ID but different metadata. Wiki tutorial http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Metadata_Based_Subblocks and all tutorials I have found on the Internet are using LanguageRegistry.addName(ItemStack, String). Declaration of .addName looks like it doesnt care about metadata, but anyway... I have something like this for testing:

 

		for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) 
	{
		ItemStack wireStack = new ItemStack(wire, 1, i);
		LanguageRegistry.addName(wireStack, i + " wire");
	}

 

In game I got "15 wire" for every metadata. So how to do it, becouse I have no clue? If there only was someting like

 public String getBlockDisplayName(ItemStack par1ItemStack)

insinde Block class just like it is in the Item class...

 

//I'm using .722 build

Anyone?

Wherever you do your languageregistry you want something like this:

 

            GameRegistry.registerBlock(rpDecorBlocks, ItemRPDecorBlocks.class, "Silvania" + (rpDecorBlocks.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 0), "Calcite");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 1), "Graphite");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 2), "Calcite Bricks");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 3), "Graphite Cobblestone");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 4), "Graphite Bricks");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 5), "Chiseled Graphite Brick");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 6), "Graphite Paver");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 7), "Calcite Cobblestone");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, , "Chiseled Calcite Brick");
            LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(rpDecorBlocks, 1, 9), "Calcite Paver");

 

The two numbers are quantity and meta, obviously quantity should always be 1. Add or remove more lines as required for the amount you have

Ok so looking through the code I have already figured out this:

Item.itemsList[wire.blockID] = new ItemBlockWire(wire.blockID - 256);

and inside ItemBlockWire I just used

public String getItemDisplayName(ItemStack par1ItemStack)

 

But you method is more correct - but I will still use getItemDisplayName since I have to create separate item class for colored blocks anyway. And about third parameter - what is correct way for mod-uniqe blocks name? "dex3r.tile.wire" or "dex3r.wire"?

The more elegant way to add the ItemBlock is to change your registry line from

GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockWire,"blockWire");

to

GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockWire,ItemBlockWire.class,"blockWire");

 

As for the correct unlocalized name... I wouldn't know anything about good practice.
