[1.12] Proper way to preserve BlockState Properties in dropped ItemBlock

Recommended Posts

Right now I have a generic ItemBlock registered for my Block.

 

event.getRegistry().register(new ItemBlock(Blocks.miner).setRegistryName(Blocks.miner.getRegistryName()));

 

My Block makes use of a PropertyInteger.  When my Block is broken I need the dropped item to preserve that value so that when it is placed again the new block will have the same value.  How do I do this?

 

Do I need to create my own ItemBlock?  Does anyone have an easy example of this that I can look at?

There are already two subclasses of ItemBlock, one of which should do what you need.

The issue is that the ItemBlock class (by default, unless override by a subclass) ignores metadata when placing its block.

Minecraft, they're used by wool, planks, etc. They're easy enough to find.

Right click -> open type hierarchy.

You'll want the one not called "colored" because it inverts the metadata value because Mojang made colors backwards.

Oh yeah, making a custom subclass is easy. You just have to override like, two methods.

It just so happens that for the most part, there's already ItemMultiTexture (iirc) that already does it.
