2 things I'd like to know for my mod.

[Nieue]

1. I'd like to be able to let one item change into another over time. From 10-15 minutes approximately.

 

2. Also how would I go about creating a Mana Bar? It'd be charged over time and some items from my mod would only work if the bar has enough charge + when those items are used the bar would go down.

 

Are these things possible?

1) NBT data on the itemstack

 

2) http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,8809.0.html

1) More importantly, you need to override onUpdate(), which will be called every tick.

How would I go about doing that exactly?

Redefine onUpdate(ItemStack, World, Entity, int, bool) in the item that you want to change. Put some sort of a check in there: if X ticks have passed, change the contents of the ItemStack.

Okay, so I have this class.

 

package mods.DennisMod.COMMON;

 

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

 

public class Stutter extends Item {

 

public Stutter(int par1) {

super(par1);

 

}

@Override

    public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

    {

    itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("DennisMod:stutter");

    }

 

 

}

 

 

Where do I put this?

Where do I put this?

Lolz, markdown fail.

 

...You put it in the Stutter class.

I meant what should I put there? Like pubic void onUpdate or something?

...Yes. And with the arguments I described. Just like you override registerIcons(IconRegister).
