I am having troubles with a block facing player.

package com.xed.basic.blocks;


import net.minecraft.block.*;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.item.BlockItemUseContext;
import net.minecraft.state.DirectionProperty;
import net.minecraft.util.Direction;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType;

public class Forge extends Block {

    public static final DirectionProperty FACING =  HorizontalBlock.HORIZONTAL_FACING;
    public Forge() {


        super(AbstractBlock.Properties.create(Material.ROCK)
                .hardnessAndResistance(3.0f,6.0f)
                .sound(SoundType.STONE)
                .harvestLevel(3)
                .harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE)

                .func_235861_h_()
        );
        this.setDefaultState(this.stateContainer.getBaseState().with(FACING,Direction.NORTH));


    }
    @Override
    public BlockState getStateForPlacement(BlockItemUseContext context){
    return  this.getDefaultState().with(FACING, context.getPlacementHorizontalFacing().getOpposite());

    }


}

 

What problems are you facing, crash or whatever the error is? Anyways, my guess is the game crashed because you did not add the property to the state container.

It says this:

Cannot set property DirectionProperty{name=facing, clazz=class net.minecraft.util.Direction, values=[north, south, west, east]} as it does not exist in Block{null}

¿How do I add the property to the state container?

override 

fillStateContainer()

and add your property to the builder

I did it but It doesn't rotate in game.

package com.xed.basic.blocks;



import net.minecraft.block.*;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.item.BlockItemUseContext;

import net.minecraft.state.DirectionProperty;
import net.minecraft.state.StateContainer;
import net.minecraft.util.Direction;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType;

public class Forge extends Block {

    public static final DirectionProperty FACING =  HorizontalBlock.HORIZONTAL_FACING;
    public Forge() {


        super(AbstractBlock.Properties.create(Material.ROCK)
                .hardnessAndResistance(3.0f,6.0f)
                .sound(SoundType.STONE)
                .harvestLevel(3)
                .harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE)

                .func_235861_h_()
        );
        this.setDefaultState(this.stateContainer.getBaseState().with(FACING,Direction.NORTH));


    }
    @Override
    public BlockState getStateForPlacement(BlockItemUseContext context) {
        return this.getDefaultState().with(FACING, context.getPlacementHorizontalFacing().getOpposite());
    }
    protected void fillStateContainer(StateContainer.Builder<Block, BlockState> builder){
        builder.add(FACING);

    }

}

 

It looks fine, please always specify where/what/how is it not working, we aren't psychics 😛

Sorry for the bad explanation
I am going to explain it  better:I want to make a block like the furnace,that rotates when the player places it.I did the block implementing and it looks cool in the game but its always looking at the same direction(I think north) when I place it.

This is the class:

package com.xed.basic.blocks;



import net.minecraft.block.*;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.item.BlockItemUseContext;

import net.minecraft.state.DirectionProperty;
import net.minecraft.state.StateContainer;
import net.minecraft.util.Direction;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType;

public class Forge extends Block {

    public static final DirectionProperty FACING =  HorizontalBlock.HORIZONTAL_FACING;
    public Forge() {


        super(AbstractBlock.Properties.create(Material.ROCK)
                .hardnessAndResistance(3.0f,6.0f)
                .sound(SoundType.STONE)
                .harvestLevel(3)
                .harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE)

                .func_235861_h_()
        );
        this.setDefaultState(this.stateContainer.getBaseState().with(FACING,Direction.NORTH));


    }
    @Override

    protected void fillStateContainer(StateContainer.Builder<Block, BlockState> builder){
        builder.add(FACING);

    }
    public BlockState getStateForPlacement(BlockItemUseContext context) {
        return this.getDefaultState().with(FACING, context.getPlacementHorizontalFacing().getOpposite());
    }

}

And this is the RegistryHandler:

package com.xed.basic.util;

import com.xed.basic.Basic;
import com.xed.basic.blocks.BlockItemBase;
import com.xed.basic.blocks.Forge;
import com.xed.basic.blocks.MagnificentDiamondOre;
import com.xed.basic.items.CoinsBase;
import com.xed.basic.items.DiamondHeart;
import com.xed.basic.items.ItemBase;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.RegistryObject;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries;

public class RegistryHandler {
    public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, Basic.MOD_ID);
    public static final DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCKS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS, Basic.MOD_ID);

    public static void init(){
        ITEMS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
        BLOCKS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());

    }

    //Items
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> GOLDEN_COIN = ITEMS.register("golden_coin", CoinsBase::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> SILVER_COIN = ITEMS.register("silver_coin", CoinsBase::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> MAGNIFICENT_DIAMOND = ITEMS.register("magnificent_diamond", ItemBase::new);
    //Advanced Items
    public static final RegistryObject<DiamondHeart> DIAMOND_HEART = ITEMS.register("diamond_heart", DiamondHeart::new);


    //Blocks
    public static final RegistryObject<Block> MAGNIFICENT_DIAMOND_ORE = BLOCKS.register("magnificent_diamond_ore", MagnificentDiamondOre::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Forge> FORGE = BLOCKS.register("forge",Forge::new);


    //Block Items
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> MAGNIFICENT_DIAMOND_ORE_ITEM = ITEMS.register("magnificent_diamond_ore", () -> new BlockItemBase(MAGNIFICENT_DIAMOND_ORE.get()));
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> FORGE_ITEM = ITEMS.register("forge", () -> new BlockItemBase(FORGE.get()));


}

And the .json model:

{
  "parent": "block/cube_all",
  "textures": {
    "particle": "basic:/blocks/forge_front",
    "north": "basic:/blocks/forge_front",
    "south": "basic:/blocks/forge_side",
    "east": "basic:/blocks/forge_side",
    "west": "basic:/blocks/forge_side",
    "up": "basic:/blocks/forge_top",
    "down": "basic:/blocks/forge_top"
  }
}

 

Because you told it to use the default state (NORTH) and haven't told it to base its directionality based on the player's facing. Go look at the FurnaceBlock.
