Ah so its in that class, I'll look more closely then. Thanks!

For a custom recipe, I recommend taking a look at the RepairItemRecipe class in the source. However if your item is a weapon, tool, or armor that extends an existing archetype like a sword, helmet, etc, then it should automatically implement that recipe (combining durability in crafting table). If you want to add the anvil version of this, you can override the getIsRepairable() method in your item class. If you want more info on registering a custom recipe, lmk.

This is an excellent post detailing the steps. It says to install DCEVM and the Hot Swap plugin, but another user claims only the first one is necessary. I followed the same steps, but wasn't able to see any edits in-game. Perhaps it'll work for you though (if it does, lmk)

Which class(es) handle(s) the Ender Dragon's purple light upon death? this is outdated but it mentions a layer class, I've looked through the current ones but none referring to the ender dragon.

Right you can store that in the key... sorry for the stupid questions. All set now. Edit: Oml I just realized getItem and setItem are the built-in methods for itemstack data 🤦. I've used getItem before but it never occured to me that it was for a data key.

I appreciate all your help. I've created a data key in the entity class which is being updated, but I'm not sure how to link it with the tag in the item class (responsible for the property override). Either that or the key needs to be accessed from the item class too. Alternatively I've tried an if statement in the override method, to detect when an entity is created and tell it to grab a float from the entity class instead. This works, but it updates all modItemEntities in the world as it's not an instance of the current item. ModItemEntity with Data Key https://pastebin.com/TeQMiEKf

After looking at the ItemEntity class as you suggested, it seems to handle syncing with EntityDataManager. However, getShareTag and readShareTag also exist, as well as onEntityItemUpdate in the item class. Which of these would be the best option?

You could do the following: Map<Effect, EffectInstance> potionMap = entityLiving.getActivePotionMap(); if (potionMap.containsKey(Effects.EFFECT_NAME)) { // Do something }

Ah ok I'll take look, thanks! I figured the packet would handle it, but now I realize the one I have is only for spawning.

Going off of what Ash said, a soft dependency is easy to implement. Below is one way. In your build.gradle, if you add the following plugin line at the top: apply plugin: 'maven-publish' Then in the dependencies section of the same file you can add a line such as (if we were adding the JEI mod): implementation fg.deobf("curse.maven:jei:2995910") Where the string of numbers is part of the web address for the specific version of the mod on curseforge. Then when you refresh your workspace, the mod should download as an external library (if the source is available). The plugin is also used for publishing to a maven repository, but the repository function isn't necessary if you're only using it to add a soft dependency (if you want to use it in that way though, go ahead)

During the tick method in an item's entity class, I'm altering the item's custom NBT tags. The tags are being updated, but the method tied to one of them that handles a property override, isn't. (no texture change is seen). The model files are correct, as the override works in a SpecialRecipe class. What could be the issue? Idk if it's related to this by chance (although that deals with capabilities).

Oh no that sounds like capability stuff lol. Maybe I'll stick with separate classes then. I'll fix the map as you suggested though. Thanks!

In my projectile entity class, getDefaultItem is: @Override public Item getDefaultItem() { HashMap<Float, Item> itemMap = new HashMap<>(); itemMap.put(1F, ModItems.ITEM_1); itemMap.put(1.25F, ModItems.ITEM_2); itemMap.put(1.5F, ModItems.ITEM_3); itemMap.put(1.75F, ModItems.ITEM_4); itemMap.put(2F, ModItems.ITEM_5); System.out.println("floatField: " + floatField); return itemMap.get(floatField); } Where floatField is a (non-final) field initialized in the constructor. However, floatField returns zero in this method, even though it returns the correct nonzero value in a method like onImpact, which is also an override. Is this a simple fix, or should I settle for separate entity classes for each ModItem that extend this base class?

Same thing for me... I've tried with both the hotswap plugin and without, and no changes occur. I've verified everything is setup correctly. Also not sure of the difference between "Recompile" under Build, and "Reload Changed Classes" under debug actions (I assume it makes no difference in debug mode?). Or if only certain changes are detected during runtime.
