How to make Rotatable Block [VIDEO TUTORIAL]
Wed, 01/04/2017 - 20:31 (edited)

Hi. Because there is not his feature in MCreater itself and many of you need it for your mod , I decided to make a video tutorial how to make custom block rotatable , using PropertyDirection.

Hi,

I am using 1.12.2 and it didn't work even with the code for +1.9.

Could you please send the code of one and the same simple block with and without rotation so that I can see exactly the difference and I can apply it to other blocks as well? I would be very grateful for that!!

Did you edit the blockstate .JSON file? And if yes, are there any error/warning messages in the log?

Yes, I edited the blockstate.json. But today I rewrited the code giving me the purple block by your example code from one of the  video commentaries (https://pastebin.com/Exp7HuUn). And the client doesn't even start. Now I got two errors: 

 

C:\Pylo\MCreator179\forge\build\sources\main\java\mod\mcreator\mcreator_sipka.java:55: error: register(K) has private access in GameRegistry
      GameRegistry.register(block);
                  ^
  where K is a type-variable:
    K extends IForgeRegistryEntry declared in method register(K)
C:\Pylo\MCreator179\forge\build\sources\main\java\mod\mcreator\mcreator_sipka.java:56: error: register(K) has private access in GameRegistry
      GameRegistry.register(new ItemBlock(block).setRegistryName(block.getRegistryName()));
                  ^
  where K is a type-variable:
    K extends IForgeRegistryEntry declared in method register(K)

 

Meantime I solved the rotation by creating 4 blocks (each is facing different direction) and by making 4 procedures which changes one block for another by clicking. But I think the coding would be more elegant.

Thu, 07/19/2018 - 14:27

What version of Minecraft are you modding for? If you are using 1.12.x+ , you can not register the block in the same way as in the version that the code sample was for. I guess I have to update the video someday...

Thu, 07/19/2018 - 20:30

I use 1.12.2. First time I used the code for 1.9 (right bellow the vid) and put the changes for 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12 from commentaries. Then the game worked but textures were missing. Later I thought the sample code was for 1.12 so I tried to use this. And that happened. Never mind, I use the procedure system now. Updating the code system would be great for 1.13 and newer versions. And thank you for your attention.
