[[1.12.2] @Config subcatgories]

Make it public?

Yup, on it, just thought I was missing something obvious for it to be otherwise

[[1.12.2] @Config subcatgories]

Thank you that's exactly what I've done. For some reason, the forge example is making the subcategory class private which makes it more cumbersome to access from main code

[[1.12.2] @Config subcatgories]

Trying to figure out best way to access Config file variables from code when subcategories are used... (using @Config annotation per Forge). Below is their example of how to make subcategories, however, there seems to be some access issues with this

@Config(modid = "modid")
public class Configs {
  public static SubCategory subcat = new SubCategory();

  private static class SubCategory {
    public boolean someBool; 
    public int relatedInt;
  }
}

 

Anyone have a good example of how they are doing this using the @config way

 

Thanks all!

[[1.12.2] Proper implementation of IGuiHandler]

Out of curiosity and desire to have not only working but well-written code, wondering the best way to implement IGuiHandler while respecting sidedness

The below code works (but only with a @SideOnly annotation in TileEntity when run on dedicated server). If not using annotation will throw:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Attempted to load class net/minecraft/client/gui/inventory/GuiContainer for invalid side SERVER

 

I have currently implemented my IGuiHandler as:

public class GuiHandler implements IGuiHandler {

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public Object getServerGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z) {
        BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(x, y, z);
        TileEntity te = world.getTileEntity(pos);
        if (te instanceof IGuiTile) {
            return ((IGuiTile) te).createContainer(player);
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public Object getClientGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z) {
        BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(x, y, z);
        TileEntity te = world.getTileEntity(pos);
        if (te instanceof IGuiTile) {
            return ((IGuiTile) te).createGui(player);
        }
        return null;
    }
    
}

 

IGuiTile

public interface IGuiTile {
	
	Container createContainer(EntityPlayer player);
	
	GuiContainer createGui(EntityPlayer player);

}

 

and my Tile Entity subclass has the following implementation:

	@Override
	public Container createContainer(EntityPlayer player) {
		return new ContainerFurnace(player.inventory, this);
	}

	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	@Override
	public GuiContainer createGui(EntityPlayer player) {
		return new GuiFurnace(this, new ContainerFurnace(player.inventory, this));
	}
	

 

 

ps. above code was largely from a Mcjty tutorial as I was learning, and his didn't use the @SideOnly. I don't think he ran his on dedicated server during the tutorial to find this error...

 

Thanks all!

[What's the proper way to register a tileEntity?]

1 hour ago, MrDireball said:

I'm trying to register the TileEnity for my custom block called "data_block", but Forge says that the method I'm using is obsolete, and also I don't even know if I'm doing it right.

 

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(DataTileEntity.class, Reference.MOD_ID + ".data_block"); //This is in preInit of Main.

 

I say that I don't know if I'm doing it right because I've also seen different people us all of the following when entering the path string for TileEntites.

 

Reference.MOD_ID + "data_block"

Reference.MOD_ID + ".data_block"

Reference.MOD_ID + "_data_block"

Reference.MOD_ID + ":data_block"

 

I believe it needs to be a ResourceLocation instead of just a String

e.g.,

 

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(DataTileEntity.class, new ResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ".data_block"));

 

[[1.12.2] Can't find IItemHandler isItemValid]

47 minutes ago, unassigned said:

You should make a custom ItemStackHandler that extends ItemStackHandler in which you overwrite insertItem and extractItem, and check if the itemstack is valid. I have a small example of what I mean here:

But this isn't necessarily needed, as you should be able to modify isItemValid when instantiating the ItemStackHandler:

    public final ItemStackHandler inv = new ItemStackHandler(1) {
        @Override
        public boolean isItemValid(int slot, @Nonnull ItemStack stack) {
            return super.isItemValid(slot, stack); //check stack.
        }
    };

Also, make sure you are exposing the ItemHandler capability, or your inventory will not work properly.

 

The latter is what I'm trying to accomplish but Eclipse is raising an error when I try to override this method, and when I search through ItemStackHandler and IItemHandler I don't see this method declaration...

[[1.12.2] Can't find IItemHandler isItemValid]

Other sources have suggested overriding the isItemValid method of IItemHandler to check if an item can be placed in a slot (e.g., only allow smeltable items in a furnace). I don't see this method available in documentation

 

Should I be performing this check inside an overridden insertItem method instead?

 

Thanks! brand new to modding so bear with me
