Hmm, would it work to just check for the item's registry name? Or would this not work in an obfuscated environment? I.e. check if the item's registry name has the word "cooked" in it.

Is there a way I can at least see what type of food an ItemFood object is though?

So I'm setting up a custom furnace with 4 slots, and I've already got a block registered, now I just need to create a tileentity and create the GUI. I'm familiar with setting up a gui with IItemhandler so that's not really anything new, but in the TileEntity, how exactly should I go about checking what kind of food an item is? In order to cook it I mean, and whether it's uncooked or not.

What stops you from knowing a node's position at runtime? Try to separate the concept of a node to anything related to your skill tree. If you can calculate/determine what skills a player knows at any time from player capabilities, access it from the GUI. Determine a pre-determined layout of the tree, like where a node will go (the physical node, not the skills attached to it) and where to draw arrows pointing to it. For example, if you have 40 skills in the tree, you could set up a lookup array of size 40 to determine if a node representing a particular skill should be drawn or not. This is the background layer. And in the foreground, overlay your skill name, description, etc over their respective positions. Then within the various mouse action methods, access this array whether it should detect player hovers/clicks there or not. This is something similar I've done, if a player doesn't want to have the third row for example, the node and the arrows pointing to it aren't drawn. Notice that some concessions needed to be made, like the length of the names (I've formatted the string so it's inside the node, but anything longer will make the text go over the boundary). But if I wanted to, I could even vary the size of each node and have a lookup table that tells me how large a certain node needs to be for a certain skill name. Edit: All a node should be is a quad with a texture, nothing more. You shouldn't need to register anything as David said

Yup, fixing that got it to work. I really need to manage capability data initialization and read/writes better. Is there any tips for managing multiple systems on a player capability? My capability class controls mana, accuracy, defense, passive skills, etc. If this were one of my Unreal or OpenGL projects I wouldn't have to centralize all this data onto a single class.

Ah you're right, if I print the data parameters every tick server-side, none of them are initialized until I send my packet from the client after editing the grid in the inventory. I'll get back to you on that and see what happens if I fix it. Unfortunately having both is kind of necessary, it makes some of the referencing I need to do 100x times cleaner, for example it's used to determine which attack the player should do on a certain number of clicks:

I was hoping I could figure it out on my own after posting like I usually do, but no dice this time haha

Alright my player capability class is pretty big, but here's all the relevant parts. The parts removed for clearer reading just affect stuff like bow accuracy, player combat, etc. Anyhow, the 3x3 container (implemented here as a 1-d array) has initial values when the player first joins the world, and they can manipulate values within it from my custom player inventory. All of this works perfectly fine, I send a packet from client to server when the GUI is closed, plus for testing purposes I manually sync both client and server every 1200 ticks. But yeah the problem is that it does not save, when printArtes() is called, it prints what it was initially set to in the constructor: https://pastebin.com/y8R0Up3L

It's got nothing to do with how I'm writing/reading nbt data within the data provider class, I'm 100% certain of that, plus it implements ICapabilitySerializable and doesn't rely on strings as tags. I guess I'm confused about what exactly happens when readnbt is called when used on a player capability. I.e, how does it determine which member variables to populate? It does so just fine for other member variables of my player capability class, but does not for my array variable.

I'm attempting to write and read members of my player capability class, and for things like my stamina, accuracy, fuel variables, when I exit the game and return, it 100% works and saves just fine. However, I also have a 3x3 grid of user bound indices that I've represented as a one dimensional array of integers, which I then created 9 integer data parameters of, registering and setting it like the others. When I go to print these values within my serializenbt method, the correct values are printed, i.e. 2,4,1,0,... However, when I print them after the readNBT call within the deserialize method after exiting the game and reloading, it just prints the default values for them, 0,0,0,0,... Note that this is immediately after calling readnbt in the same deserializeNBT method. Both these methods are called on the logical server, and the client/server side for these variables are synced, so I don't believe it could be a server/client side issue. There's nothing weird with how I'm calling the two methods, since it works for all my other variables. The only time I set these variables to 0 is in the default/nondefault constructor as well. Anyone know what it could be? Does it just not work well with arrays?

Learn Java before modding, copy/pasting stuff without understanding how or why it does what it does isn't going to work.

I've written a player capability class which keeps track of some statistics kept and incremented on the server. Most of the information isn't expected to be updated very often so it's only synchronized with the client when it meets a certain flag. However, some of the information (stamina, fuel, etc) is updated every tick, and directly affects client-side rendering. For example, the player cannot left click (the hand's swing render event doesn't even trigger) if stamina does not meet a certain threshold. Sending packets back and forth between client/server every tick is obviously a terrible idea, how should I approach something like this? Is it possible to keep two counts running synchronously between client/server? And then sync the two every once in a while.

It appears that the damage source is the issue, when I set my custom entity as the damage source it causes attackEntityFrom to return false most of the time. But when I instead set the source as a generic type, it works 100%. Strange. Looking through the multiplayer class's attackEntityFrom (or its parent class) there's nothing there to indicate there'd be a problem.

attackEntityFrom keeps returning false. When I reload the world it sometimes works, but most times it doesn't.

Never mind, it's not working again. Why on earth is this happening?
