[Solved] Metadata Tile Entities?

[calclavia]

Does anyone know how to create a different tile entity for a metadata block?

The function where you return your tileentity instance (getTileEntity or something like that?) has a metadata version.

I am using the getTileEntity (int metadata) function now. Thanks.

 

But the getTileEntity () function is abstract and I have to use it. What would I return in that function?

I see no getTileEntity() function in block.  Are you subclassing from BlockContainer?  If so then do not subclass from BlockContainer.

Oh yes! I was using the Block Container. Should I never use this class? I basically lookeed at the furnace block and copied the stuff inside. But using the Block class should give the same results right?

I returned null and it works. I have to use a Block Container or else the GUI won't open.

For note, Forge can open a GUI from anywhere and from any action, you do not need BlockContainer.
