getActive() is a method to check some NBT data. The cast and null check is a habit. but doesn't affect anything.

Hi, I'm working in: forge:1.15.2-31.2.0 I have a item that overrides the following method public void inventoryTick(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, Entity entityIn, int itemSlot, boolean isSelected) inside this method i check various properties of the player, however it seems that when inside the scope of that property its only being ran on the client. the example below will add SlowFalling to the player if they are airborne & damage the itemstack. @Override public void inventoryTick(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, Entity entityIn, int itemSlot, boolean isSelected) { if (!getActive(stack)) return; PlayerEntity player = (PlayerEntity)entityIn; if (player == null) return; if (player.isAirBorne){ // THIS IS CLIENT SIDE ONLY player.addPotionEffect(new EffectInstance(Effects.SLOW_FALLING, 1, 1)); UtilItemStack.damageItem(stack); } } This causes an issue. in this example, the player is given the slowfalling effect. but will take fall damage upon landing. This is not the case if i apply the effect if i apply the effect outside of that scope. I remember this working before the method was changed from `tick` to `inventoryTick` Does anyone have any advice? Thank you in advanced.

Well gosh... It's been a while hasnt it. So everything camel case now then?

And thank you. I work in Devops so automation is what i do... been having fun with this. ?

currently im only working with English. Lang will soon be its own node with different entries like so: { "lang": { "en_us" : "The Blah", "br_fr" : "Lé Bláh" ... } } As for the naming convention; i was considering having only one name.. however i'd prefer to stick to the convention of snake_case for registry and camelCase for unlocalised

I'm all about choice, and I completely agree that taking away control from the user is always a bad idea. but i have to stress that my mod wont do everything. and still allows the users to add their own textures etc. Take a look at the mod its self - https://github.com/TheJaysH/BiarMod It currently it has 2 options in terms of adding the blocks & Items. 1) supply it a zip with the json payload, and textures 2) just supply the json. The first option will create the ResoricePack.zip from the textures the users supplied - and apply it. The second will just add the blocks & Items, which leaves the Resources down to the user. the json is as follows: { "TABS": [ { "langName" : "Example Tab", "unlocalizedName" : "tabExample", "icon" : "" } ], "BLOCKS": [ { "langName" : "Example Block", "unlocalizedName": "exampleBlock", "registryName" : "example_block", "tabIndex" : 0, "hardness" : 1.5, "soundType" : "STONE", "material" : "ROCK" } ], "ITEMS": [ { "langName" : "Example Item", "unlocalizedName": "exampleItem", "registryName" : "example_item", "tabIndex" : 0, "maxStackSize" : 16 } ] And this is the Zip file structure (should they choose to use it) `biar.json` is the aforementioned json file .minecraft/ | |__ biarmod/ | |__ biarmod.zip | |__biar.json | |__textures/ | |__items/ | | | |__example_item.png | |__blocks/ | |__ example_block.png The idea of option 1 is a one size fits all solution for mod pack developers who just want blocks & items with one texture who may not have the know-how to create a full ResourcePack.zip And my vision down the line, is to have a comunity repo for "block-packs" or "item-packs" so users can download a set of blocks and items made by the community. The main push for this idea came from a modpack developer i know who wanted me to add a bunch of items to the pack - they were just used for crafting recipes and noting more. That gave me the idea to create this.

Why is that? I feel its a good idea for those who just want to add blocks and items. And don't want or know how to create an entire mod to add them. The Mod is actually working great now, and doesn't add much to the launch time after the first launch (providing the user doesn't add/change files)

Sorry I should have been clearer. I was referring to adding a resourcepack.zip to the games ./resourcepacks folder. Doing this has resolved my issue. ( i mush have made an error with the pack format) I just need to find out how to apply a pack by default now. Thanks ?

Well see.. That was the route i was starting to take; the end user would just supply a resource pack. However (unless I'm doing something else wrong) Upon loading the resource pack the lang entries work, but models & textures do not. I cant see if Forge needs to at least initiate some resources before adding a resource pack.

Is this an implication that it is not possible to do while forge is loading? Thanks ?

I have been working on a mod for mod-pack developers. See here The idea is to supply the mod a payload (currently json, eventually zip). And the Block & Items will be added at runtime. The blocks & Items added are just basic ones. mainly used in crafting recipes or decoration. I have the bulk of it working. its just adding the resources that I'm struggling with. Thanks for taking the time to reply ?

Hi All, Was hoping to get a bit of help here. Or to know if what i want to do is even possible (which i'm sure it must be). is it at all possible to create mod resources at run-time; that is to say create the blockstate / models / textures at launch. These will all be based off templates. From what i gather (looking at ForgeDocs) i will need to create a new ResourceLocation? I'm a bit stuck in how I should go about doing this. Thanks in advanced. - Jay
