[Unsolved] Rendering a new Fire Block.

[coolboy4531]

Trying to create a new Fire Block, that does no damage when a player walks into it.

 

Loaded up the game, the item looks good in my hands, but when I place it down, it appears as an invisible block, it does not render in-game.

Help?

Why is your render type 180? Either set it to 3 (the render type of a fire block) or return Block.fire.getRenderType() to make sure yours always renders the same as fire in case the number is ever changed.

[coolboy4531]

Well, now I can't I have a crash report, of not be able from this block to cast to BlockFire, and I " DO NOT " want to extend BlockFire because I don't want players to get hurt from it.

Did what you said, now I'm getting worse errors

Nice. The great thing about knowing people who like to browse the Internet (when you don't) is that they will share the gems with you and you don't have to see the crud.

[coolboy4531]

xAlright alright, sorry

 

Well, overriding getIcon works, everything works fine, except there is now one little problem.

 

The fire block itself now, isn't like the actual fire block from vanilla minecraft.

It has appeared that it is exactly like a block, and all the sides of the block have the fire texture.

coolboy: You still need to return the right renderType

Indeed.

Never mind, guys, thanks for everything

 

I told you I am an idiotic freak, with no knowledge.

I forgot to add this:

 

    public int getRenderType()
    {
        return Block.fire.getRenderType();
    }
