[1.8.1 Mod Making] Creating a new torch!

This is what ill tell you how to make!



ok this will go into your mod_BlockElectricTorch.java

Code:

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;

public class mod_BlockElectricTorch extends BaseMod
{


   public static final Block blockElectricTorch =
            new BlockElectricTorch(127,0).setHardness(0.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setLightValue(1.0F).setBlockName("BlockElectricTorch");


   public mod_BlockElectricTorch()
   {   

      ModLoader.RegisterBlock(blockElectricTorch);
      blockElectricTorch.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png","/blockElectricTorch.png");
      ModLoader.AddName(blockElectricTorch, "blockElectricTorch");
      ModLoader.AddRecipe(new ItemStack(blockElectricTorch, 10), new Object[] {
         " * ", Character.valueOf('*'), Block.dirt
      });
   }
   

And this will go into BlockElectricTorch.java

Code:

//THIS CODE GOES INTO YOUR BlockElectricTorch.java FILE! (or whatever you called your block class)

how would you change the particles?

        }
    }

this is were you change the x y z (aka i j k):

Code:


        double d = (float)i + 0.5F;
        double d1 = (float)j + 0.85F;
        double d2 = (float)k + 0.5F;

also were ever it says flame/smoke, you can add other type of particles!

ok cool thats what i was looking for... where would i put the particle .pngs?

theres like several places
but were i put it is
MpcFOLDER>bin>minecraft>here:)

If you are going to change that you will need to then do for the particles create a new texture for them if your not going ot be using the standard flames and smoke

I now have BlockElectricTorchOn and BlockElectricTorchOff. So I don't want the ElectricTorchOff to spawn particles.
How can I do that?

hey i got this error just renaming electric in BlockElectricTorch to BlockJiffyTorch on every one of those lines and changed the recipe and got this error

That means you forgot to place a bracket at the end of the file. Check the last part of the file and place a bracket and it should hopefully work.

BTW to do this you will need to copy and invert the code from redstone torch and itemredstone torch (if there is one) it should function properly

please post your code

ok here is the mod_BlockJiffyTorch.

Code:

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;

public class mod_BlockJiffyTorch extends BaseMod
{


  public static final Block blockJiffyTorch =
            new BlockJiffyTorch(236,0).setHardness(0.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setLightValue(1.0F).setBlockName("BlockJiffyTorch");


  public mod_BlockJiffyTorch()
  { 

      ModLoader.RegisterBlock(blockJiffyTorch);
      blockJiffyTorch.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png","/blockJiffyTorch.png");
      ModLoader.AddName(blockJiffyTorch, "blockJiffyTorch");
      ModLoader.AddRecipe(new ItemStack(blockJiffyTorch, 10), new Object[] {
        " * ", Character.valueOf('*'), Block.torchWood
      });

Like I said... You're missing a bracket at the end.

Make it this:

Code:

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;

public class mod_BlockJiffyTorch extends BaseMod
{


  public static final Block blockJiffyTorch =
            new BlockJiffyTorch(236,0).setHardness(0.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setLightValue(1.0F).setBlockName("BlockJiffyTorch");


  public mod_BlockJiffyTorch()
  { 

      ModLoader.RegisterBlock(blockJiffyTorch);
      blockJiffyTorch.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png","/blockJiffyTorch.png");
      ModLoader.AddName(blockJiffyTorch, "blockJiffyTorch");
      ModLoader.AddRecipe(new ItemStack(blockJiffyTorch, 10), new Object[] {
        " * ", Character.valueOf('*'), Block.torchWood
      });
  }
}

oh thanks didn't see your post before! Thank you so much!!!

also got this error and you already know the code because PureTryOut has it.

Code:

I believe it has to be this:

then i got this error

now im just confused about modding!!

OH MY GOSH CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!! LOOK RIGHT ABOVE THIS!!! HAS THE WORLD STOPED MOVING???

you have to add: public String Version()
{
return "1.7.3";
}

btw can someone help me with the texture it is like derping up itself

how do you make your own particle effects. if i want a blue flame how would i go about making it? in the code it just had "flame"?

When i craft the torch it looks like a gray square but when i place it down it's fine....?

oh ya dude i also got this error. it's not the jiffyTorch code thats wrong it the mod_* thats wrong! it's cause you are trying to make a 1.0/1.1 mod then you have to change the

Code:


public string Version()
{
return "1.8.1"
}


to

Code:


public string getVersion()
{
return "1.0/1.1"
}
