How to get a block from world coordinates?


Rex Dark

Recommended Posts

I've been trying to get blocks from coordinates in the world.

I figured out how to get the id and metadata of a block at the coordinates, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the block itself from that.

 

I'm trying to create something to select a number of blocks in the world and save that to a file to use later as generated structures, but I don't really want to use the block ids for it if I can, since they might change.

The block ID represents the type of block, not the block itself. For example, if you have four dirt blocks, they all have the same ID.

 

I believe that you don't have to worry about the block IDs changing too much. If you call the getBlockId(x,y,z) method on dirt for example, whatever it returns will always equal Block.dirt.blockID.

Thanks.

I know they have the same id.

The thing I'm worried about is ids for mod blocks changing in config files to resolve block ids being used double.

I still want the files to be reliable when that happens.

It's supposed to be distributed with other mods for generating structures. If the block ids change to compensate between mods, you might end up with castles made out of MFSUs instead of FancyBrickX, that's kind of what I'm trying to prevent. So that's why I'm looking for a different way to identify the blocks.

the problem with this, is that the "world" in minecraft is just a 3-dimensional array that stores the ID of each block in the correct location. It's probably something like

new int[3000000][256][3000000]

but I've never seen anything that would support my thinking on that. It just seems like that's how it's stored.

it might be an array that stores 16x16x16 arrays though. I'm not really sure.

            Block blockfromlist = Block.blocksList[<BLOCKID>];

 

Will return the Block of a given id. Using this, you can get name/icon, etc anything else you could possibly need for your verification needs. This should solve your issue.

Have a modding question? PM me and hopefully I'll be able to help. Good at 2d Pixel Art? We need your help!  http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1806355-looking-for-2d-pixel-artist/

Endershadow: that's somewhat what it is, but it's a bit more complex than that.

but the end result is what you wrote, more or less. If you want to see how it all works take a look into how WorldObj.GetBlockID and .SetBlockID works. Their implementation should tell you how the system works :)

It's quite interesting ;)

 

Rex Dark:

Also remember that you have blocks which have TileEntities, you will also need to bring the data from those along as well.

 

A solution could be to export all the block data, metadata and tileEntity saved data per location,

then have a place where all the IDs are stored and how they relate to the block names.

 

Then you can write a small java software which can convert the IDs, so that if you want to import a structure and the IDs are different it will convert the IDs for you, to the values you are using?

If you guys dont get it.. then well ya.. try harder...

Well for chests it's no problem to get the IDs, nor to convert them.

The problem would be if one wanted to support custom mods yeah I see that one..

But for one's own mod and vanilla it's totally doable.

 

Come to think of it, isn't MC edit supporting custom mods with inventories and such? if so you could look into how it's done there :P

you're right! that is quite interesting! I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever decide to customize the dimensions in my mod.

    • I'm developing a dimension, but it's kinda resource intensive so some times during player teleporting it lags behind making the player phase down into the void, so im trying to implement some kind of pregeneration to force the game loading a small set of chunks in the are the player will teleport to. Some of the things i've tried like using ServerLevel and ServerChunkCache methods like getChunk() dont actually trigger chunk generation if the chunk isn't already on persistent storage (already generated) or placing tickets, but that doesn't work either. Ideally i should be able to check when the task has ended too. I've peeked around some pregen engines, but they're too complex for my current understanding of the system of which I have just a basic understanding (how ServerLevel ,ServerChunkCache  and ChunkMap work) of. Any tips or other classes I should be looking into to understand how to do this correctly?

    • Way back in the Forge 1.17 days, work started for adding JPMS (Java Platform Module Support) to ModLauncher and ForgeModLoader. This has been used internally by Forge and some libraries for a while now, but mods (those with mods.toml specifically) have not been able to take advantage of it. As of Forge 1.21.1 and 1.21.3, this is now possible!   What is JPMS and what does it mean for modders? JPMS is the Java Platform Module System, introduced in Java 9. It allows you to define modules, which are collections of packages and resources that can be exported or hidden from other modules. This allows for much more fine-tuned control over visibility, cleaner syntax for service declarations and support for sealed types across packages. For example, you might have a mod with a module called `com.example.mod` that exports `com.example.mod.api` and `com.example.mod.impl` to other mods, but hides `com.example.mod.internal` from them. This would allow you to have a clean API for other mods to use, while keeping your internal implementation details hidden from IDE hints, helping prevent accidental usage of internals that might break without prior notice. This is particularly useful if you'd like to use public records with module-private constructors or partially module-private record components, as you can create a sealed interface that only your record implements, having the interface be exported and the record hidden. It's also nice for declaring and using services, as you'll get compile-time errors from the Java compiler for typos and the like, rather than deferring to runtime errors. In more advanced cases, you can also have public methods that are only accessible to specific other modules -- handy if you want internal interactions between multiple of your own mods.   How do I bypass it? We understand there may be drama in implementing a system that prevents mods from accessing each other's internals when necessary (like when a mod is abandoned or you need to fix a compat issue) -- after all, we are already modding a game that doesn't have explicit support for Java mods yet. We have already thought of this and are offering APIs from day one to selectively bypass module restrictions. Let me be clear: Forge mods are not required to use JPMS. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to. The default behaviour is to have fully open, fully exported automatic modules. In Java, you can use the `Add-Opens` and `Add-Exports` manifest attributes to selectively bypass module restrictions of other mods at launch time, and we've added explicit support for these when loading your Forge mods. At compile-time, you can use existing solutions such as the extra-java-module-info Gradle plugin to deal with non-modular dependencies and add extra opens and exports to other modules. Here's an example on how to make the internal package `com.example.examplemod.internal` open to your mod in your build.gradle: tasks.named('jar', Jar) { manifest { attributes([ 'Add-Opens' : 'com.example.examplemod/com.example.examplemod.internal' 'Specification-Title' : mod_id, 'Specification-Vendor' : mod_authors // (...) ]) } } With the above in your mod's jar manifest, you can now reflectively access the classes inside that internal package. Multiple entries are separated with a space, as per Java's official spec. You can also use Add-Exports to directly call without reflection, however you'd need to use the Gradle plugin mentioned earlier to be able to compile. The syntax for Add-Exports is the same as Add-Opens, and instructions for the compile-time step with the Gradle plugin are detailed later in this post. Remember to prefer the opens and exports keywords inside module-info.java for sources you control. The Add-Opens/Add-Exports attributes are only intended for forcing open other mods.   What else is new with module support? Previously, the runtime module name was always forced to the first mod ID in your `mods.toml` file and all packages were forced fully open and exported. Module names are now distinguished from mod IDs, meaning the module name in your module-info.java can be different from the mod ID in your `mods.toml`. This allows you to have a more descriptive module name that doesn't have to be the same as your mod ID, however we strongly recommend including your mod ID as part of your module name to aid troubleshooting. The `Automatic-Module-Name` manifest attribute is now also honoured, allowing you to specify a module name for your mod without needing to create a `module-info.java` file. This is particularly useful for mods that don't care about JPMS features but want to have a more descriptive module name and easier integration with other mods that do use JPMS.   How do I use it? The first step is to create a `module-info.java` file in your mod's source directory. This file should be in the same package as your main mod class, and should look something like this: open module com.example.examplemod { requires net.minecraftforge.eventbus; requires net.minecraftforge.fmlcore; requires net.minecraftforge.forge; requires net.minecraftforge.javafmlmod; requires net.minecraftforge.mergetool.api; requires org.slf4j; requires logging; } For now, we're leaving the whole module open to reflection, which is a good starting point. When we know we want to close something off, we can remove the open modifier from the module and open or export individual packages instead. Remember that you need to be open to Forge (module name net.minecraftforge.forge), otherwise it can't call your mod's constructor. Next is fixing modules in Gradle. While Forge and Java support modules properly, Gradle does not put automatic modules on the module path by default, meaning that the logging module (from com.mojang:logging) is not found. To fix this, add the Gradle plugin and add a compile-time module definition for that Mojang library: plugins { // (...) id 'org.gradlex.extra-java-module-info' version "1.9" } // (...) extraJavaModuleInfo { failOnMissingModuleInfo = false automaticModule("com.mojang:logging", "logging") } The automatic module override specified in your build.gradle should match the runtime one to avoid errors. You can do the same for any library or mod dependency that is missing either a module-info or explicit Automatic-Module-Name, however be aware that you may need to update your mod once said library adds one. That's all you need to get started with module support in your mods. You can learn more about modules and how to use them at dev.java.

    • When I came across the 'Exit Code: I got a 1 error in my Minecraft mods, so I decided to figure out what was wrong. First, I took a look at the logs. In the mods folder (usually where you'd find logs or crash reports), I found the latest.log file or the corresponding crash report. I read it through carefully, looking for any lines with errors or warnings. Then I checked the Minecraft Forge support site, where you can often find info on what causes errors and how to fix them. I then disabled half of my mods and tried running the game. If the error disappeared, it meant that the problem was with the disabled mod. I repeated this several times to find the problem mod.
