[[1.8] Mod is not recognized as a mod]

Is your code in src/main/java?

 

Yes it is. My resources are in src/main/resources

 

Your build.gradle is telling Gradle to look in $projectDir/src/java and $projectDir/src/resources instead of the default src/main/java and src/main/resources. You should delete the

sourceSets

block entirely, it's not needed if you use the default locations.

 

This worked! Thanks!

But now I have run into another problem. When the mod loads onto the menu screen, it appears as "Tutorial Mod" which was a mod I had created when I was learning modding about 2 months ago. Do you or anyone know how to change this? Is there a file where I can change this? My mcmod.info file is set up how I want it to be, but thats not how it is.

 

 

 

EDIT: Sorry I just had compiled the wrong mod. But thanks to everyone that helped!

Unfortunately there are no obvious errors in the log.

 

Are you sure your

@Mod

class is present in the JAR?

 

I decompiled the jar and found that the only folder is the "METAINF" folder. I think that might be a problem.....

[[1.8] Tool that can be used only once.]

In you item class (where you initialize you items) try putting in this code:

 

public static final ToolMaterial testToolMaterial = EnumHelper.addToolMaterial(String name, int harvestLevel, int maxUses, float efficiency, float damage, int enchantablility);

 

name - should be the same as you variable name, but you can change it.

harvestLevel - used for which blocks can be mined

maxUses - this is what you are looking for. This is basically how much damage your tool can take. Set this value to 1 or something like that. Play around with it and see what you can do

efficiency - how fast can it break blocks (pickaxes)

damage - how much damage it does against an entity

enchantablility - how much the tool can be enchanted

 

Then just create a new class that extends the type of tool you want.

Ex:

public class TestTool extends ItemPickaxe

 

Then just let it add in the constructor. Make sure in your items class that your tool is initialized to "TestTool()" or whatever you named your tool class.

 

 

You might want to refer to this article in the future: http://bedrockminer.jimdo.com/modding-tutorials/basic-modding-1-7/custom-tools-swords/

It may be for 1.7, but it is actually the same thing for 1.8.

He actually has some great tutorials for beginners

[[1.8] Mod is not recognized as a mod]

I know it says that. It loads fine when I am testing it within eclipse, but when I actually put it in my mods folder, it doesn't load at all.

 

Then post a log from when it doesn't load (i.e. from a client with the mod in its mods folder).

 

The debugging suggestion was a separate recommendation to the log posting.

I think your modID is too short.  I have a vague recollection that it has to be at least 3 characters.

 

I just changed my modid to a longer one, but still no change.

It looks like your mod loads without issue in that log.

Where is "Reference", and what all is in it?

 

This is my Reference class:

package com.parth;

public class Reference {
public static final String MOD_ID = "tm";
public static final String MOD_NAME = "[1.8] DrVader's Robot Pet Mod";
public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
public static final String CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS = "com.parth.proxy.ClientProxy";
public static final String SERVER_PROXY_CLASS = "com.parth.proxy.CommonProxy";
}

Did you put anything in your Mods folder, found in your mod dev folder? I've seen this happen when you throw a mod (zip file / jar) into the mods folder (a non-deobfuscated file). Really, what have you in there?

 

I only have put my mod in there. Nothing else. Also, my mod file is a jar file.

 

It looks like you've posted the output from the console, but the log file should have some more information about the mod loading process in it. Could you post that? Use Gist if it's too large for Pastebin.

 

You should also try building a deobfuscated copy of your mod (run the

jar

Gradle task), adding that as a mod in a separate ForgeGradle project, putting some breakpoints in

JarDiscoverer#discover

and stepping through it to see what's going wrong.

The same thing still happens

[[1.8] Mod is not recognized as a mod]

This couldn't make any more sense. Your saying have a Main class with the "@Mod" annotation, including its several parameters, yet Forge / FML is not recognizing your Mod as a Mod. What is happening in the console? Did you even look in the "Mods" button at the Minecraft Main Menu? That is very basic - check the mods button, post the log,  and show us your code (Main class).

 

I made sure each time if the mod was loaded and each time it wasn't.

[[1.8] Mod is not recognized as a mod]

Hey,

 

I have been having this problem for about a day now. I have done some research to figure this out by myself, but I couldn't find a solution.

 

The error I am getting is in the game logs. It says that my mod is being recognized as a non-mod file. I have used multiple sources and they all said to add things that I already had.

In my research, many sources said that it wasn't being recognized because I didn't have a @Mod annotation in my main class. I actually do have one.

 

Anyway, does anyone know how to fix this?

[[1.8] Spawning entity with item creates a "still" entity]

@Override
public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer playerIn, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ)
{
	if (!worldIn.isRemote)
	{
		EntityZombie test = new EntityZombie(worldIn);
		worldIn.spawnEntityInWorld(test);
		test.setPosition(pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ());
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

 

I actually just tried that code out right now. I still get nothing spawning when I write "!worldIn.isRemote" and I get a "still" zombie when I write "worldIn.isRemote"

This is how the zombie looks like when I write "worldIn.isRemote":

 

Notice how the zombie isn't even on fire or reacting to me being that close to it.

 

As for this:

There is probably something wrong with your EntityTest - you might not have renderer for it. Or you messed up constructors?

 

I have a renderer for my Entity. I am able to spawn the entity fine with an egg. I just want the player to be able to spawn the entity with an item as I dont want the entity spawning naturally and eggs are basically unattainable in survival.

[[1.8] Spawning entity with item creates a "still" entity]

Hey,

 

I have been having this problem for a couple of days. When I try to spawn an entity with my item by clicking the ground, it spawns, but it doesn't move at all, it can't get hurt, it can't be pushed, etc. I think once I waited for a little, and it disappeared (I'm not sure about this though).

 

NOTE: I have tried doing my own research and they all said that I needed to add

if (!world.isRemote)

in order for it to work. I have tried this, but nothing at all spawns.

 

This is the code I am using:

 

@Override
public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer playerIn, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {

		if(stack.getItem() == TestItems.test_item) {
			if (!worldIn.isRemote) {
				EntityTest test= new EntityTest(worldIn);
				worldIn.spawnEntityInWorld(test);
				test.setPosition(pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ());
				return true;
			}

		}
	return false;
    }

 

How do I fix this?

[[1.8] Teleporting entity with onItemUse()]

1. Use World#getLoadedEntityList and iterate through each entry checking if a. is it an EntityTameable, and b. does it belong to the player; teleport them as they are found.

 

I tried using that, but when I do, nothing happens. This is the code I'm using:

 

@Override
public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer playerIn, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ)
    {

	if(stack.getItem() == RobotPetItems.bucket_oil) {
		       
		Object o = worldIn.getLoadedEntityList();
		if (o instanceof EntityTameable) {
			if (((EntityTameable) o).isOwner(playerIn)) {
				System.out.println("Found Entity");
				return true;
			}
			else {
				System.out.println("No entity found");
				return false;
			}
		}

		//playerIn.setPosition(pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ());

		//return true;
	}
	return false;
    }

 

 

 

I sorry but I'm actually new to this.

[[1.8] Teleporting entity with onItemUse()]

Is it YOUR block, a vanilla block, any block? If it's your block, you can override the onBlockClicked method (or whatever it's called) and you'll have the coordinates there; if it can by any block, but your Item, you can do what you did above and use onItemUse. Either way, that will give you the Block's position.

 

How are you going to find the entity to teleport? Do you have some kind of system to track the entity, e.g. if the entity's unique ID is stored in the ItemStack NBT, the Block's TileEntity, or even the player's IEEP? Without such a system, it will be impossible to know which entity to look for and teleport to the block position.

 

If you describe how your item/block/entity teleportation should work, not in code but from the player's perspective in game, then I could give you better advice.

 

It is any block.

 

So let's assume this:

My custom item will be called test_item

My custom entity will be called EntityTest

 

Now for what I want to happen:

From a player's perspective, the player has item test_item in their hand. With this, they can right click any block, and all of their tamed entity/entities EntityTest teleport to that clicked block.

 

I don't know if this is possible. But if it is, could you please give me a walkthrough of what I would have to do? It doesn't have to be the entire code; I just want the concepts that I would have to apply to make this work.

[[1.8] Teleporting entity with onItemUse()]

You can't just create a new entity whenever you want - you need the instance of the entity that already exists in the world. Luckily, there is an Item method called whenever you right-click on an entity with your item, which you can override to do whatever you want, e.g. teleport:

@Override
public boolean itemInteractionForEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, EntityLivingBase entity) {
    if (entity instanceof YourTargetEntityClass) {
          // put teleportation code or whatever here
          return true;
    }
    return false;
}

 

That isn't exactly what I am looking for. I don't really want the entity to teleport when I right click on it. I want it to teleport to a block when I right click an item on that block. I'm just wondering if this is possible. If it is, how would I go about doing it? If it isn't, then I will just have to find another way to do something similar.

[[1.8] Teleporting entity with onItemUse()]

Hi,

 

I have been creating a mod with a custom entity, and I wanted to teleport it when I clicked a specific block to that block. I have tried to get it to work, but it seems that I don't exactly know how to initialize the entity properly so that it is recognized by the onItemUse() method. This is the code I have been trying with fail:

 

public boolean onItemUse(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer playerIn, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ)
    {
	EntityTameable entity = new EntityRobot(worldIn); //my custom entity that I attempt to initialize
	if(stack.getItem() == MyMod.bucket_oil) { //bucket_oil is just the name for an item

		entity.setLocationAndAngles((double)pos.getX(), (double)pos.getY(), (double)pos.getZ(), 1.0F, 1.0F); //attempts to teleport entity but does not do anything
		System.out.println(entity.getEntityId()); //check to see if my entity is "seen"


		return true;
	}
	return false;
    }

 

Thanks!
