When should the Capability system be used?

Posted May 13, 20214 yr

I use a translator, so I'm sorry if my English is unnatural.

Well, as the title says, I'm pretty sure I understand what Capability is, but there are a few things I don't understand.

-Is it correct to understand that Capability is for holding arbitrary data by associating it with an object such as a player or TileEntity?

-In many cases, it seems recommended to use Capability instead of implementing IInventory when creating a TileEntity with an inventory, why? What are the drawbacks of implementing Vanilla's I Inventory and what are the benefits of using Capability?

-Although it overlaps a little with the second question, when implementing Magic Point in Player, of course it is not possible to rewrite the Vanilla Player class, so it is necessary to link the player and Magic Point instance using Capability. I understand that. But should I use Capability for new entity and tile entities as well? Is it even a very simple inheritance of Vanilla's ChestTileEntity?

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

Well I was mainly trying to figure out whether or not I was doing something wrong and if it could be fixed by just adding something (e.g. maybe I was missing an Attribute or something like that), but if that's not the case then my only option is to use custom pathfinding. If someone has one that functions and is willing to share it, then I'd gladly use that instead of suffering through making my own.

how do i change my username with forge?

In the future I do plan on adding optional OAuth to the new launcher in ForgeGradle 7. But yes, using --username and offline mode is a good workaround to not using accounts in the development environment, especially considering that the server is on LAN.

how do i change my username with forge?

I came across this post looking for an answer to the OP's question. My use case is a classroom with one server in LAN and many clients of course participants that want to test their mods.

The answer is:
On the client
Edit build.gradle. In the section client add the following line before the closing curly brace: args '--username', '<YOUR NAME>'. Replace <YOUR NAME> with your actual username. E.g. if your username is lmoellendorf the client section should look like this:

client { // Comma-separated list of namespaces to load gametests from. Empty = all namespaces. property 'forge.enabledGameTestNamespaces', mod_id args '--username', 'lmoellendorf' }
Make sure that each username is unique on your server.

Start your Minecraft Client. Click Multiplayer then Direct Conection. Here enter the Server address which is the local IP of your server followed by colon : followed by the default port 25565. E.g. if your server's IP is 192.168.0.7 the entry should look like this:

192.168.0.7:25565
On the server

Be sure that in run/server.properties the line online-mode is set to false:

online-mode=false
