I'm trying to do meta data blocks but I keep getting errors. Also how would I give each block a texture. The tutorial on it wasn't very in depth.For the code look at the metadata blocks tutorials because I was basically going off that. http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Metadata_Based_Subblocks

 

The method getItemNameIS(ItemStack) of type BrickItems must override or implement a supertype method(works when i remove the @Override)

@Override

public String getItemNameIS(ItemStack itemstack) {

return getItemName() + "." + subNames[itemstack.getItemDamage()];

}

 

 

The method setItemName(String) is undefined for the type BrickItems

setItemName("brick");

 

The method getTextureFile() of type Brick must override or implement a supertype method

public String getTextureFile () {

return CommonProxy.BLOCK_PNG;

}

i can help you with the textures

 

show your source codes at least, so i can see what you already have, just show the block and itemblock that you have,

Are you modding in minecraft 1.4.7? Cause in 1.5.x you dont have to preload textures anymore. I've got a link for you that can help you out:
