Considering the Biome Decorator is a variable inside my SubClass, my only options to access it are presumably: [*]Using reflection: Slow and very hacky, and as you said, not needed. [*]Changing the Access Level: Breaks compatibility, and if FML hasn't done it, there is likely a reason not to. [*]Making my class in the minecraft.net.src package: Heavily discouraged amongst the forge community, might break compatibility and also makes it hard to keep track of classes. [*]Making my own WorldGenBase, BiomeDecorator (and plenty more) classes: Tedious, messy, and seems unnecessary. [*]Creating some kind of wrapper for BiomeDecorator (and some more) classes: Better option, it seems, but still tedious, messy and unnecessary. All of these seem like a "hack" and suboptimal (not to mention tedious). I must be missing something, because everyone talks about this "Access Transformer" or says that a hack is not needed (not only in this forum post, I did search before posting this).

It doesn't really help if I have no idea how to access it, or what it is If googling it doesn't bring some kind of answer, I doubt it's even what it's called.

Googling provides no information on this access transform.

I've made a custom biome, but I can't access many of the BiomeDecorator's functions, as they are protected. How can I get around this?

The reason I have MapGenVillage is to get the default MC village to generate at my command before trying my own.

I've copied all of the appropriate appropriate classes for Village, but unfortunately, I cannot even get the DEFAULT village to spawn. I understand there is a % chance, but in superflat after flying a long time I've yet to find one (with default MC structures disabled). Here is my code: package plantony.lotrcraft; import java.util.Random; import net.minecraft.src.IChunkProvider; import net.minecraft.src.MapGenVillage; import net.minecraft.src.World; import net.minecraft.src.WorldGenMinable; import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator; public class WorldGeneratorLotrCraft implements IWorldGenerator { MapGenVillage mapGenVillage = new MapGenVillage(1); public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) { switch (world.provider.dimensionId) { case -1: generateNether(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16); case 0: generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16); } } private void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int blockX, int blockZ) { //int Xcoord1 = blockX + random.nextInt(16); //int Ycoord1 = random.nextInt(80); //int Zcoord1 = blockZ + random.nextInt(16); mapGenVillage.generate(world.getChunkProvider(), world, blockX, blockZ, new byte[32768]); } private void generateNether(World world, Random random, int blockX, int blockZ) { } }

Yes, I do. I did some work and replaced some of mc's code, and now it works: //FMLCommonHandler.instance().showGuiScreen(handler.getClientGuiElement(modGuiId, player, world, x, y, z)); FMLCommonHandler.instance().showGuiScreen(new plantony.lotrcraft.common.GuiHandler().getClientGuiElement(modGuiId, player, world, x, y, z)); I don't want it to be like this in the long run (creates incompatibilities).

Java throws a java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to use player.openGui(LotrCraft.Instance, 1, world, x, y, z); Doing a little stack-following I found it happens when this code is ran: FMLCommonHandler.instance().showGuiScreen(handler.getClientGuiElement(modGuiId, player, world, x, y, z)); So, presumably, my gui handler is returning null? Here is it's code: package mymod.common; import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.IGuiHandler; import net.minecraft.src.*; public class GuiHandler implements IGuiHandler { @Override public Object getServerGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z) { switch (ID) { case 1: return new ContainerSmelter(player.inventory, world, x, y, z); } return null; } @Override public Object getClientGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z) { switch (ID) { case 1: return new GuiSmelter(player.inventory, world, x, y, z); } return null; } } If you need the code for the container and gui, i'll post it.
