Forge for 1.16.1 The first Forge build for 1.16.1 is now live thanks to the hard work of: covers, illy, jd, garrett, giga, and the rest of the forge crew. With their help we were also able to release the updates to MCPConfig for 1.16 and 1.16.1 the same day that vanilla did. The Nether Update has brought a lot of changes to many systems, and as with any update there are likely to be bugs. We are still evaluating and working on some of the systems like dimensions and trees to come up with the best system to allow for modders to integrate with vanilla’s new dimension system. We are also expect

I got into minecraft modding recently and was surprised by how hard it is to find useful up-to-date information. Because of that, I decided to document my learning journey and write a book about Minecraft modding for beginners. It applies to Minecraft 1.16.1 and the latest version of forge. Keep in mind it is still a work in progress. More chapters will be added in the coming days. Suggestions and questions also are welcomed. Link: https://thebookofmodding.ml/

Thanks for the amazing work, it was such a fast release!

Don't tell ppl "do your research before posting here" as the README.txt file that comes with the MDK of Forge 1.13.2 25.0.9 and 25.0.10 says to use setupDecomWorkspace its obvious that the README.txt file was not updated but you don't have to be a dick.

Problematic Code Please use the registry events to register your blocks, items and other registry entries. Use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation in ModelRegistryEvent to register your item models. Do not use the ItemModelMesher. Do not use methods that are deprecated in Forge or vanilla Minecraft. Usually there will be an explanatory method next to the method explaining what to use instead. There is an exception for methods in the Block class, these may be overridden. Instead of calling them, use the one in IBlockState resp. it's supertypes.

There may be a primer for 1.15 -> 1.16.1; however, in the current state of 1.16.2 onwards and with the release of 1.16.4 coming soon, I doubt you will be able to find one. Not many people understand the new system of world generation through data driven systems, so a primer will probably not be out for a while. However, since I'm not a fan of leaving any post unanswered, I'll try and take a basic stab at it. - Blocks have been abstracted even more (AbstractBlock). You'll find that the properties have been turned into functions of some kind to allow for even fewer blocks. For ex

Currently Supported Versions: Latest: 1.16.X LTS: 1.15.X User Support FAQ Modder Support FAQ and Common Issues We do not currently provide support or updates for any other versions except in cases of severe security issues. On LTS's: Forge's support for Minecraft versions will try to follow a predictable cycle, assuming Mojang also follows a predictable cycle. We will always actively target the latest Minecraft version as ever, however we will also support the most recent non-latest version as an "LTS" version. An LTS version differs slig

Forge Version: 34.1.0 Minecraft Version: 1.16.3 Downloads: Changelog: (Direct) Installer: (AdFocus) (Direct) MDK: (AdFocus) (Direct) Intro: Hello everyone, it's finally that time. A recommended 1.16 build is here. We had to wait longer then I wanted to because there were a lot of problems with the initial 1.16 release from Mojang, enough that it was obvious that a .1/.2 was needed. So we waited for Mojang to stabilize the 1.16 branch, out came .1, .2, and .3. Each one same with its own surprises, the main one we have to mention is 1.16.2's major re-write to b

Update Regarding LTS System: Please read The Big Forge Update Earlier this year, 1.13 was announced and the snapshots started coming out, the update was relatively small, but enough to be a hurdle for mod developers. This combined with 1.12 stabilizing, and a few fundamental Java changes that broke modding in general, made the Forge team decide to use this opportunity and work on cleaning the years of technical debt that Forge had accrued. During this time, it was discovered that a lot of things needed updating. In fact, well, everything did. And so, it was done, a

No. Stop. writeToNbt and readFromNbt are for saving to disk. Server-side. If you want to sync stuff to the client (assuming you want to use the vanilla mechanic, which uses NBT), you need to override a couple of methods (warning, this is a giant mess): getUpdateTag - Returns the data that should be sent to the client on initial chunk load (i.e. when it gets into render distance, etc.). Call super here and put whatever data you need to have available on the client in the NBTTagCompound returned from super. Then return it. handleUpdateTag - Called on the client with whatever tag was

What is this? This is a collection of common issues and recommendations for the Modder Support subforum. Instead of repeating these things over and over again, a link to this thread can be used instead. This post will be updated as needed. Suggestions either via PM to me or in a separate thread to keep this topic clean.

General issues Do not use the "export" or "create jar file" functionalities of your IDE or other means to create your final mod file. You must use the Gradle build task. See the documentation for more info. When creating a Git repository for your mod, the repository root should be where your build.gradle file is. The MDK ships with a default .gitignore file so that only the necessary files will be added to version control.

The Forge Git repository only contains patches to the decompiled Minecraft source code. In very simplified terms this means "remove this line from this file" or "add this code here". It does not contain the decompiled game source code. When the Forge installer is built, these patch files are converted to binary patches to the compiled code, these binary patch files are then shipped with the installer. As such the installer again does not contain any Minecraft code. When you then run the installer it takes the vanilla Minecraft jar (or downloads it from Mojang's servers if you don't have i

From what I can tell there is over 2 megabytes of advancement data being sent to the client. So far Forge only splits overly large recipe and tag packets, it seems the advancement packet needs to be added to this list as well. I will make a pull request to add it.

It looks like this may be an issue with Waila, since it is the last thing in the log mentioning networking ("syncing config"). Check with the Waila authors.

Hey guys, after some weeks of getting experienced with Minecraft modding, I want to submit an issue here that occurs when you use the IDE IntelliJ for your mods. I started with a very basic mod to implement my own items. Therefor, I had to learn about modding and first of all, gradle. Since I am no Java newbie, I know how projects were structured and how to handle with IDEs. I've always used IntelliJ. Eclipse is good and has a ton of features but I am still preferring IntelliJ. So here is the problem. There are several articles and forum topics men

I’m trying to install forge’s recommended version for 1.8.9 on windows 10 with Java 64bit latest version but it just absolutely will not open. Anytime I click the installer it just gives me a second icon as a notepad page but will not run the installer, I’ve tried reinstalling Java I’ve tried it all... any solutions or recommendations would be appreciated

*sigh* <people who know what they're talking about> have already spoken up and told you what you needed to know. You didn't like what they had to say and now you're just being rude. You had some very insightful responses from people. Bottom line, it really isn't done because it really isn't feasible or worth the time. Minecraft is written in Java. I get that that may not be your favorite language, but if you want to do MC in C#, there are no known projects that will let you do this, so you'll have to do it yourself. You do not have the Java chops to do it yet and since there are no proje

1.12.2 is not supported anymore due to its age, but here's something for you to google: "minecraft launcher installation game directory"

Why the fauk does your renderer change what blocks are in the world? That's not the job of a renderer.

GatherDataEvent only fires during data runs, not during client or server runs

1.12 is no longer supported on this forum. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

Post your code and assets.

With my system, each capability type that needs to be synced to the client has several sync-related classes: A single update network message (extending UpdateContainerCapabilityMessage) that syncs the capability data for a single slot of a Container. A bulk update network message (extending BulkUpdateContainerCapabilityMessage) that syncs the capability data for all slots of a Container. A "functions" class containing static methods used by both the single and bulk update messages. A container listener class (extending CapabilityContainerListener) that sends the singl

A PR was just opened that should fix this: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/pull/7446 Keep an eye on that, and we'll let you know when the fix is pulled. Thanks to 7

Alright, occasionally I get bored and I do one of these posts. I looked at their latest (as of the time of this post) video: https://youtu.be/F79DNgi5d_o. Here is what I found: [0:40] "Call this calls ModSpawnEggItem" - completely irrelevant how you call this class. [1:00] "Click here, to add constructor matching super" - why? How is this relevant to modding? This is basic Java knowledge. Either you explain what you do here (which means you need to explain what constructors are and what inheritance is) or you assume this knowledge, which means you don't need to talk a

There's a BiMap you need to add your structure to within Structure along with registering it as a feature and structure.

Take a look at the EntityRenderer#renderName method...to draw an image instead of text you could just use a textured quad

If you only copied over the relevant files from a different project, then those source folders won't exist normally. You will need to create them manually and then rerun your gradle commands to tell everything that "hey, I exist now".

No problem, glad I could help!

double x = event.getPlayer().getPosX(); double y = event.getPlayer().getPosX <--------??? (); double z = event.getPlayer().getPosX <--------??? ();

Try deleting your build folder and %USERPROFILE%/.gradle/caches/forge_gradle/minecraft_user_repo/net/minecraftforge/forge/forge-1.15.2-31.2.0_mapped_snapshot_20200514-1.15.1

As I said, this has NOTHING to do with Forge's code or how we build the classpath. We could technically put the jar whever the hell we want. This is wholy issues with SERVER HOSTS and other users. And the drama/bitching that will come from it. This is just a case of... don't be dumb and run the vanilla server... Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do to mark the world as not loadable by the vanilla jar. As it's not code we control so there isn't any way to add protections into it. Many Many external things can corrupt your world.

You need to use the share tag (getShareTag, readShareTag).

Assuming you are using ItemStackHandler (you should, change it if you are not!), override onContentsChanged. It will be called whenever the contents of a slot changes.

writeSpawnData only sometimes writes an int. readSpawnData always reads an int. The methods must be exactly symmetrical.

Then use the IFormattableTextComponent API, namely func_240701_a_ which applies a formatting to it.

Those tutorials are bad then. Unfortunately most modding tutorials are written by amateurs, who don't even come here to ask for feedback before posting it as just "the way to do it" on Youtube, etc. Registration must happen exactly when Forge tells you. Forge does so by firing the registry event. If you use a static initializer you completely bypass this system. This prevents Forge from doing improvements in the future, such as reloading mods at runtime or even disabling/enabling them. Yes, it's fine now. However if you do write a tutorial I would recommend y

It's a pretty complicated system to set up a custom village, but definitely do-able. The current Minecraft villages are created using a "Jigsaw" system. In order to do anything with custom villages, you need to understand how these function. This video is a really good explanation of the system, make sure to watch the whole thing. It's from 1.14, but for the most part the Jigsaw system hasn't changed much since then. The 1.15.2 mod "The Farlanders", which creates custom villages, has all of their code available on Github, so if you were to use that code as well as vanilla village fil

If it is your item, override getContainerItem(ItemStack) in your item class and return whatever you want returned to the player. If it's not, you need a custom IRecipe class (you need to register an IRecipeSerializer for it) and override getRemainingItems.

Here is a forum. It operates under "forum" rules: threads stay "open" by default. The only reason to close threads (as in, a moderator locks it) is if it has been necro'd or is off topic (asking for help with unsupported versions falls into "off topic"). I don't know why so many people think that this place operates likes Stack Overflow.

Hi, used Minecraft 1.16.1 and forge-1.16.1-32.0.7-installer.jar on Ubuntu 20.04. Tried different openjdk versions from 8-14, none worked. Minecraft was running once, stopped via console, this was a fresh install. My install command : java -jar forge-1.16.1-32.0.7-installer.jar --installServer the part where it fails : Data io/netty/internal/ Processor failed, invalid outputs: /home/regnator/mc/./libraries/net/minecraft/server/1.16.1/server-1.16.1-slim.jar Expected: 6cbe49c4d26497791d1d511c2d3b7d1fa46fa2e9 A

Forge 1.16.1 32.0.7 just dropped and that *does* use vertical biome detection (visible in the nether from the vanilla F3 screen). Doubt many people know much about this right now... Time to investigate...

You use @CapabilityInject to inject the other mod's capability. You can put this annotation on a method too (see the javadocs) and that method will then only be called if the other mod is present. In that method you can then enable your mod's compatibility features. If you put this method in a separate class that class will never load unless the other mod is present.

"Please do your research before posting here." is rude. The OP's question in itself is an act of research. "Please do your research before posting here" is not a fact. It's an imperative. The OP comes here asking for help and he is being told to "do your research." Get over yourselves. If you don't want to be helpful then what are you doing here besides berating people? Or is this forum only for the "elite"?

Finally. Give me a couple hours and I’ll have pushed my changes to ExampleMod and my tutorials that make all registration use DeferredRegisty.

IPacket is a vanilla class, do not use it. SimpleChannel no longer requires your packets to implement a certain interface. Instead you need to supply the following things: An encoder (BiConsumer<MSG, PacketBuffer>). This will be called with your packet instance and a PacketBuffer to write the packet data to the byte stream. This used to be toBytes in IMessage. A decoder (Function<PacketBuffer, MSG>). This will be called with the byte stream data and must decode it into an instance of your packet. This used to be done via a reflective constructor call and fromBytes.
