How to make fuel

Well you make a fuel compatible with modloader first make the item/block (not tried it on block, so not sure) and then in the mod_* put this code in.

Code:


   public int AddFuel(int i, int j)
    {
            if(i == <Block/Item here>)
            { 
                    return <How long, coal is 1600>;
            }
            return 0;
    }


bassically public in AddFuel tells that it's making a fuel, simple. the int i stands for what the thing is and int j is how long it burns for. and the return 0 is so the item deletes after its done, if you delete that it will be infinite.


Hope this help.

Just to help people a little: this means that an item that smelts for 200 can smelt one item before the flame goes out. Nice Tut BTW

Thanksalot
Also is it possible to change the ammount of coal required for an item to smelt, instead of lets say 1/8 coal for 1 iron, 1/2 coal for 1 iron?

i think so... you just need to get your numbers right.

go into GOOGLE and type in 'minecraf furnace' then is says something like crafting furnace wiki click on that and scroll down to basic recipes and you'll see there..
I can't leave link cause i registered less than 7 days ago.

Code:

 public int AddFuel(int i, int j)
  {
      if(i == mod_jasper.browncoalbit.shiftedIndex)
      {
              return 2400;
      }
      return 0;
}

Why does this not work? i put it in my mod_jasper outside of any {} thingys
nvm it works fine

I can't get this to work: I removed

Code:

return 0;

and it gives me an error on

Code:

public int AddFuel(int i, int j)

Halp please?

try deleting int j so it will be
public int AddFuel(int i)

not sure if that would work but worth a try no?

I still get an error D:

im just going to make another guess since nobody else is responding..
try making the code like this

Code:


 public int AddFuel(int i, int j)
    {
            if(i == <Block/Item here>)
            {
                    return -1;
            }
            return 0;
    }
