Add a texture to a block

[intermediateuser]

I have a block mostly set up, I just need to know how to texture it.  The "basic" tutorial on the wiki is dated; it tells beginners to use a block's getTextureFile() method and that doesn't seem to exist anymore.

And that image is on the wiki under an up-to-date tutorial.

Sorry, the search feature here is clunky at its very best!  I did try it.

I read that tutorial, it confused me because it talks about "icons," which, to me, imply the icons in inventories and hotbars and such.  Thanks for clearing it up!

We need a modder support EAQ as well. It should include that image as well as an answer to all of the entity questions.

Well, there should be a redirect to some updated tutorials on this board...

Gosh I'd love that.  Searching for Forge tutorials is rough.  Even knowing Java, a new modder gets lost in all this and what makes it so much harder is that there are SO many tutorials that are flat out wrong because they're outdated (but nowhere do they indicate that they are).  Time is wasted figuring out exactly where they're wrong, because going through Minecraft's source code all you see are par1, par2, par3 (very nondescript parameters).  Trying to decode Minecraft's source after a tutorial has gotten you 90% of the way there isn't easy, even for someone who's not a java newbie.

 

Another problem is that most of these misleading tutorials are the only source for the information a new modder is seeking.

Something like 8 of the top 20 posts returned for "texture" or "textures" direct to a thread where I've posted that image.

It's easier when you know precisely what you're looking for!  It's frustrating, I know, to answer the same questions from different people over and over again, and I really do appreciate it.
