2) Config tutorial next

3) I'll fix it now, thanks!

Do you know if it is possible to modify a blocks properties from another class? For instance:

package test;

// Imports
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.potion.Potion;
import net.minecraft.potion.PotionEffect;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class TestBlock extends Block {
public TestBlock(int id) {
super(id, Material.iron);

setTextureFile("Blocks.png");
setBlockName("TestBlock");
setHardness(5.0F);
setResistance(10.0F);
setStepSound(super.soundMetalFootstep);
setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
}

// Block texture
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getBlockTextureFromSide(int id) { return 0; }

public void onEntityWalking(World w, int x, int y, int z, Entity e){ }
}

I got a basic block there and now I want to change the onEntityWalking() from another file. I tried doing this:

package test;

import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.potion.Potion;
import net.minecraft.potion.PotionEffect;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class TestBlockEx extends TestBlock {
public TestBlockEx(int id) {
super(id);
}

@Override
public void onEntityWalking(World w, int x, int y, int z, Entity e){
if(e instanceof EntityLiving){
	 ((EntityLiving)e).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.moveSpeed.id,10,2));
}
}
}

But that doesnt actually give you a potion effect if you walk on the block.

Do I have to call the TestBlockEx class from somewere or something?

No mods folder for me.
Also in step one, you ought to tell people they need the Java JDK.
I guess it's kinda obvious but that's just my opinion.

So I tried to create a random generator to randomize the amount of damage a sword does.

//random gen

Random rand = new Random();
static int [] randArray; {
randArray[0] = rand.nextInt(100) + 1;
randArray[1] = rand.nextInt(100) + 1;
randArray[2] = rand.nextInt(100) + 1;
randArray[3] = rand.nextInt(100) + 1;
randArray[4] = rand.nextInt(100) + 1;
}

static int swordDmg = randArray[0];


//enum for sword/tools

public static EnumToolMaterial sword = EnumHelper.addToolMaterial("sword", 3, 9001, 100.0F, swordDmg, 15); //The material

On the other hand, how do I make it change when you hit an entity?

OH YEAH Deverion can you do when you hit something it plays a sound so I can annoy the heck out of my friends? XD

Hey I have been trying to make my Ore only work with diamond and above pickaxes but I can't seem to make it work. It still lets me get back the ore with a wooden pick. Can anyone help?


MinecraftForge.setBlockHarvestLevel(TechOre, 3, "Pickaxe", 2);

Am I doing this right?

Quote from CreeperFace1023

Just wanted to say that I tried your custom sword tutorial and everything worked great, but I could not enchant the sword no matter what I did. I found out from other posts on the subject that the sword needs to extend the ItemSword class instead of Item class in order for the game to recognize it as a sword. It was only a few lines that needed to be changed to make it work and it started working fine after that. Has anyone had any similar issues or ideas on the subject? I would like to make the custom tools and be able to enchant them but they also are extending the "item" class and I am afraid it will have a similar result as with the sword (but there is just too much code in the custom tool classes for me to figure out how to change it everything else still working)

Quote from myoblastic

Yeah I was having the same problem! Your solution worked. Thanks!

Does anyone know how to make 3d blocks (e.g. Brewing Stand)?

Quote from CreeperFace1023

Should be:
MinecraftForge.setBlockHarvestLevel(techOre, "pickaxe", 3);
Watch your caps they need to be right for everything to work. You had too many args and the last argument should be a 3 for it to only be harvested with diamond tools.

Quote from Draxel34

Dude this worked perfectly thanks man.

What type of eclipse do I download?

Quote from squair

Hey could you do a tutoial on creating custom armor? that would help me out alot your other tutorials are really good and well set out though!

Quote from DeverionX

Config tutorial is up, and I have the sudden urge to make a flowers tutorial next

Quote from myoblastic

yay! implemented your config. I think that there should be something to catch errors (cuz adding all those items and stuff can mean typos) so maybe add a try{config.load and all other config stuff,catch{exception}, finally{config.save} block to catch errors.

also, i was looking through your tutorials, and I think you should put the config tutorial under the items and blocks, because people should realize a config is necessary to releasing a mod!

Quote from Fanged15

I have a question. I have this item that places a portal down. How do you make it so that it breaks after you use it once?
