Should've noticed, I want to test it using Eclipse; I recall there being a place to just dump these and then it works when you compile from within Eclipse.

Edit: that does make sense yes, but unfortunately, does not apply for me.

If your just testing the code it does not matter where the image is because the code will work if its correct. Its when the code is recompiled and reobfuscated that it will matter where the image is when its place din the minecraft.jar

[StrongJoshua]

ANother tutorial you could write is how to make items or blocks do things on right click (like a fishing pole or flint 'n steel)!

[Diversi]

Call me a moron, but, knowing if the image works is part of whether the code is correct, no? And how can I know whether the code is correct if Minecraft doesn't boot when testing?

I pretty likely missed something along the way and or am doing stuff incorrectly, so please, bear with me. Thank you.

Ok, this is going to sound dumb, but..... when you add the ModLoader files to the minecraft.jar inside the jars folder, do you delete the META-INF? please reply!
and i also get this error EVERYTIME I install ModLoader when I decompile and then when I try to run the StartClient.batch, it crashes.

== ERRORS FOUND ==

2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file 'net\minecraft\src\RenderBlock
s.#'
==================

Ok thats the code! hope someone helps me!

That "error" is normal, just disregard it, and you should delete the meta-inf from inside your jars/bin folder in MCP.

I'm just going to steal some code:
Namehere.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png", "/Namehere.png");
Where, as in, what directory, would I place Namehere.png?

Ah yes, the "Image not found" error. I too fell prey to this killjoy error. Quite simple to fix. Open up the Jars file, find minecraft.jar and add your .png file in there. Also, i recommend this :
("/terrain.png", "/YourMod/Namehere.png")
Thenyou only need to add 1 file with all the .png files.

My Leaves of my custom tree don't disseaper when i chop down the wood.
Is this true?

[PhantomsCore]

Since this helped me so much I spammed your 'reserved' posts with +'s, and I checked now you have a good reputation! Thanks again!

In MCP everytime i try to run the StartClient.bat it crashed? Even when ModLoader isn't even in the minecraft.jar.? So does anybody have any answer to this??? very annoying when I cant test my mods!

[fish2]

Nice man I would like to know if you can make one for how to add a new liquid to the game using modloader and making it Have a different color and also have different properties so like if it hit lava it make the netherrack or something like that.


Thanks Fish2

I wondered what you meant with "1 file with all the .png files", but I guess you meant "1 folder with all the .png files". I already got the answer in Risugami's IRC, but thanks anyway; now other users now about it too.

[Strengthowns]

Thanks everyone for the great comments! I'm going to do an advanced block tut and prolly sword one next!

[PhantomsCore]

For the: return mod_Namehere.Namehere.blockID;

Can it be something like: mod_SBBlock.SBBlock.blockID;

?


Also: How do you make it drop an item (slimeball), instead of getting the block back?



And finally: Does it matter how many lines are between the coding?


      



Thanks a ton for this tut!

If that's what your block is called then yes.
To drop a slime ball you need to put this in your block file:

	public int idDropped(int i, Random random)
	{
		return Item.slimeBall.itemID;
	}

And no, it does not matter how many lines are between the code.

To return a block that isn't yours, it would be: return Block.whatever
If it's an item it should be: Item.whatever

If yo u want it to return your own block you put ".blockID" on the end.
For your own item it's ".shiftedIndex" on the end.

Sure, maybe in a while once I figure it out!

[LimblessQuasar]

Hey Strength,

Since you want to do something different, perhaps you could make something on a chest/furnace? I'm kind of past minecraft modding - there's just only so much you can do that's original, ya know? - but I've got 3 or 4 people waiting on me to explain the furnace code.
