Hi, I am directly copying a method from net.minecraft.block.Block to implement it in my ModBlock class that extends Block.

 

When I literally copy and paste the method and add @Override to the method, it says that the method must exist in the extended class eg Block.

 

I'm severely confused as this is a basic in Java???

 

Here is my ModBlock.class

package com.zeher.zeherlib.mod.block;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.entity.item.ItemEntity;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.world.GameRules;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class ModBlock extends Block {

	public ModBlock(Block.Properties properties) {
		super(properties);
	}

@Override
	public static void spawnAsEntity(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, ItemStack stack) {
		if (!worldIn.isRemote && !stack.isEmpty() && worldIn.getGameRules().getBoolean(GameRules.DO_TILE_DROPS)
				&& !worldIn.restoringBlockSnapshots) {
			double d0 = (double) (worldIn.rand.nextFloat() * 0.5F) + 0.25D;
			double d1 = (double) (worldIn.rand.nextFloat() * 0.5F) + 0.25D;
			double d2 = (double) (worldIn.rand.nextFloat() * 0.5F) + 0.25D;
			ItemEntity itementity = new ItemEntity(worldIn, (double) pos.getX() + d0, (double) pos.getY() + d1,
					(double) pos.getZ() + d2, stack);
			itementity.setDefaultPickupDelay();
			worldIn.addEntity(itementity);
		}
	}
}

 

Is this method somehow abstract?

It means you're not actually overriding a method. i.e. the signature (name, parameters, return type) don't match a method in the parent class.

You're trying to override a static method, you can't do that, and it doesn't even make sense.

Okay, didn't know that. I'm trying to get a block to drop an item, like diamond ore blocks drop diamonds. In previous versions I would use

 

@Override
	public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random rand, int fortune) {
		return this.item;
	}

 

But I cant find a suitable replacement in 1.14.4.

 

I have also tried mining my block in survival and the block doesn't drop anything.

 

This is the properties of the Block:

 

Block.Properties.create(Material.IRON).hardnessAndResistance(8).harvestLevel(2).harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE).lightValue(15)

Nevermind, I have figured it out. I have to use loot_tables.json files for each block i register. Inside

 

resources/data/modid/loot_tables/blocks/block.json

 

And I can choose what it drops and the amount.

Of course you can't override static methods, as Block.SomeFunc is always going to be part of the Block class

Got it. Been programming in Java for 9 years and only just now found that out. Learn something new... haha
