Recommended Posts

Have look around a lot but not found Info.

My mod has alltogether more then 1500 Blocks.

the normal Blocks i can use the Metadata to save BlockID´s, but only 16

 

So how i can use 1 BlockID for more then 1 Block when this blocks needs the Metadata for other informations.

 

I know it´s possible, because Eloraam us it in RP2, have ask a few Persons but nobody can explain me how.

She uses tile entities to store extra data.

 

OK example, i want to make a view stairs all with 1 Block ID, in original the StairBlock store the direction in the Metadata.

 

So the question is now, when all understand correct i have 2 ways to do it:

1. i use the metadata to store the Direction and use the tileEntity only for the different Stairs

or

2. rewrite all, don´t use the metadata and store the direction directly in the TileEntity.

 

But what is the best way, thinking in complex of coding and compatibility for fututre changes?

think to store in on Block 20 - 30 Blocks
