[SOLVED] Sending a message to all current players [1.16.5]

Posted July 24, 20214 yr

Here is my code:

if (entity instanceof PlayerEntity) {
				Collection<NetworkPlayerInfo> users = Minecraft.getInstance().getConnection().getOnlinePlayers();
				PlayerEntity player2 = (PlayerEntity) entity;
				specificPlayer.sendMessage(new StringTextComponent(player.getDisplayName().getString() + "evaporated " + player2.getDisplayName().getString() + " using the power of the void."), player.getUUID());
			}

I have a method of sending a message to a specific player.
And a method of grabbing all online players.

I'm not the smartest with java and I can't really figure out how to put the two together. I want to be able to send this message to all players, not just one as is currently.

If someone could give me an example and explain what they did that would be great. As I said, I'm not the greatest with java (actually a beginner (blah blah I know, shouldn't start Java off with mc modding but here I am)) but coming from other languages like Python I'm a fast learner 😏

If you do it on the server, you can call ServerWorld#getPlayers and then iterate through the collection, sends a message to each player. If this somehow triggers on the client, you need a packet.

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
