Hey dEverion i was wondering if you knew how to make crops and cake like blocks

I'll work on it, I've done crops before, and cake like blocks should be easy enough

Quote from BenjaminFowlMaster

and how about making custom blocks and entitys shapes?
(sorry for gramma errors)

I'll work on them eventually, but I'm not too familiar with custom block renders

Quote from BenjaminFowlMaster

and how did u learn to code

I learnt Java from TheNewBoston's tutorials, and I've learnt modding gradually through other tutorials, by looking at the code of ModLoader and Minecraft Forge and through experimentation

I followed your block metadata tutorial and it worked perfectly. Is it possible to have different resistance/hardness for each damage value, or do I have to use a tile entity or something complicated?

Is the 8th tutorial ever going to come out or is this thread "dead", You claimed this tutorial was coming out "tomorrow" 2 weeks, ago.

I'm fairly sure you can, but I don't think it's easy

Yeah, sorry about that. I was working on the ore generation tutorial, but it wouldn't work :/ I'll try to figure out how to do it another way, but for now I'll make a different tutorial, probably food

Actually, at the moment, I'm struggling to find time to make tutorials, instead you can ask questions in the comments and I'll write quick tutorials for the questions, it should work

well how to make the metadata block with forges infinite sprites then?

I've already done that tutorial, tutorial 7

Quote from MincraftWero

what about cake like blocks

I don't really know how to make it's block model change like cake, but you can do something similar with textures and metadata. Then you need to add this:

public boolean onBlockActivated(World world, int xPos, int yPos, int zPos, EntityPlayer player, int par6, float par7,
float par8, float par9){

if(!player.isSneaking()){ //This is for debugging purposes
	 if(player.canEat(false)){ //Checks if player hunger is full
	 player.getFoodStats().addStats(5, 1F); //First number is the hunger to be filled, 2.5, second is how long it lasts
	 world.setBlockAndMetadataWithNotify(xPos, yPos, zPos, blockID, world.getBlockMetadata(xPos, yPos, zPos)+1); //Increases metadata
	 if(world.getBlockMetadata(xPos, yPos, zPos)>3){ //Is metadata too high?
	 world.setBlockWithNotify(xPos, yPos, zPos, 0); //Set block to air
	 }
	 }
} else{ //If player is sneaking
player.getFoodStats().addStats(-4,0); //Remove hunger points
if(world.getBlockMetadata(xPos, yPos, zPos)>0){ //Stops major problems by keeping metadata above 0
		 world.setBlockAndMetadataWithNotify(xPos, yPos, zPos, blockID, world.getBlockMetadata(xPos, yPos, zPos)-1);
	 }
}

return true; //Stops you from placing blocks on it when right clicking

}

This is a very basic implementation, and it can definitely be improved upon

the ItemBlock crashes the game on startup and does not give off a error report

I'm not sure what would cause that, try downloading the source and checking it out

Quote from DoubleSpiral

I have a problem with item textures. I have 5 items, and the 1st and 2nd item textures work, but for 3rd, 4th and 5th don't. Here is the code for 3rd item:

package HellOres.Common;
import net.minecraft.src.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.src.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.asm.SideOnly;
public class MercuryRings extends Item{

public MercuryRings(int par1){
super(par1);
maxStackSize = 64;
this.setTabToDisplayOn(CreativeTabs.tabMaterials);
}
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public String getTextureFile(){
return "/ModItems.png";
}
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getIconFromDamage(){
return 2;
}
}

In 4th and 5th item in the getIconFromDamage() method i have return 3; and return 4;.
You have great tutorials, they really helped me. Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure what the problem is, if you are putting the texture folder into the .jar, check that it is your most recent texture, if it is the most recent, but you are still having problems, send me a PM

Tutorial 8: Redstone Interaction is now up, check it out. Next up will be tile entities and GUI

I really liked the redstone interactions tutorial, though i'm confused on some parts XD. Can't wait for the next tutorial and glad you decided to continue!

please do crops and cakeliike blocks next or mobs:D

I'm actually preparing a tile entity tutorial, but I suppose I can do the crop one next, seeing as I was planning to do a food tutorial soon anyway

Quote from ottoguy2

I used exactly the same code you used for your metadata block tutorial. The blocks have the right textures in your inventory but when placed they all have the same (the first) texture.

Do you have setHasSubtypes in the block and the ItemBlock?

Quote from ottoguy2

I don't have it in my block class. It is undefined for the type "MyblockClass".

Nvm, it's just in the ItemBlock, sorry...

this is what i get when i do crops coding

Forge itself isn't terribly informative, but there is something about line 108 in your mod class, check there to start with
