Graphicscore

Recommended Posts

Hello there I'm trying to make a mcmod.info file, I put the file below in the root of my zipped mod but Forge wouldn't load it what does I wrong :

 

mcmod.info File :

 

{
  "modinfoversion": 2,
  "modlist": [{
    "modid": "camomod",
    "name": "Camo Mod",
    "description": "Camouflage your stuff because you never gonna now what happen",
    "version": "0.1",
    "mcversion": "1.6.2",
    "url": "-",
    "updateUrl": "",
    "authors": [ "Graphicscore", "Setix", "mehrmrhr" ],
    "credits": "Code by Graphicscore and GFX by mehrmrhr",
    "logoFile": "/assets/textures/logo.png",
    "screenshots": [ "", "" ],
    "parent": "",
    "requiredMods": [ "Forge" ],
    "dependencies": [ "" ],
    "dependants": [ "" ],
    "useDependencyInformation": "true"
  }]
}

 

If i put the mcmod file in my zip Forge disable my complete mod until I delete the file !

I always have issues with the mcmod.info file so I found a work around to the file and hard coded it directly into the mod.

 

	@PreInit
public void randomName(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) //really does not matter on the name of the public void 
{
	ModMetadata m = event.getModMetadata(); //This is required or it will not work
	m.autogenerated = false; //This is required otherwise it will not work
	m.modId = "The mods id (This must match the class or it wont work)";
	m.version = "Mod Version";
	m.name = "The Name of Said Mod";
	m.url = "http://modsofficialwebsite.com";
	m.description = "Some Descriptions";
	m.authorList.add("NameofAuthor1")
	m.authorList.add("NameofAuthor2")
}

 

This can be added basically anywhere in your mod in the main class file. if you want to add more options just type m. after just wait a few seconds for some options or you can look directly into the ModMetadata class. It will have a full source of all the options. But if you really want to use the mcmod.info file it does not go directly under the .zip file. In my mod everything is under the Nexion directory so its like Nexion 1.5.zip > Nexion > mcmod.info Which is the mods ID. Hope this helps :P

A modder uses search for solutions, a coder asks for help only after looking into the main source of the game modding. A master java programmer has solutions and is helpful. Be friendly to others, they will be friendly to you (depending on how their day goes ;) )

mcmod.info can be placed anywhere in the mod, it doesn't matter.

You should check if modid and version are the same as declared in the mod.

You can also remove any line with no info:

[{
    "modid": "camomod",
    "name": "Camo Mod",
    "description": "Camouflage your stuff because you never gonna now what happen",
    "version": "0.1",
    "mcversion": "1.6.2",
    "authors": [ "Graphicscore", "Setix", "mehrmrhr" ],
    "credits": "Code by Graphicscore and GFX by mehrmrhr",
    "logoFile": "/assets/textures/logo.png",
    "useDependencyInformation": "true"
  }]

I am not sure about the logo file either. You might want to remove the path and put the logo image next to this file.

    • They were already updated, and just to double check I even did a cleanup and fresh update from that same page. I'm quite sure drivers are not the problem here. 
    • i tried downloading the drivers but it says no AMD graphics hardware has been detected    
    • Update your AMD/ATI drivers - get the drivers from their website - do not update via system  
    • As the title says i keep on crashing on forge 1.20.1 even without any mods downloaded, i have the latest drivers (nvidia) and vanilla minecraft works perfectly fine for me logs: https://pastebin.com/5UR01yG9
    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
