I am trying to create a custom bow as a practice with some range weapons.

The bow itself work just fine, but the pulling animation is not working.

Github repository : https://github.com/liorhassin/RPG-Mod

Files navigation in github that could be related to the issue:

1) main/rpgmod/rpgmod.java (I think the issue could be related to the onClientSetup function that doesn't seem to change anything/load my addCustomItemProperties)

2) main/rpgmod/util/ModItemProperties.java (Where I wrote the code to be like the classic bow from minecraft)

3) resource/assets/rpgmod/models/item/beginner_bow.json (Where I wrote the json file to describe the animation and position of the item)

4) resource/assets/rpgmod/models/item/beginner_bow_pulling_0 , 1 , 2 (all animations linked to main item parent but call different png to create the bow animation)

Thanks in advance.

You are registering ItemProperties against the vanilla bow (Items.BOW) instead of the passed in item.

https://github.com/liorhassin/RPG-Mod/blob/3d693c2b4c0c6fd9190bfe18c3cd4d79585556cd/src/main/java/net/LiorNadav/rpgmod/util/ModItemProperties.java#L16

 

And, the ItemProperties.register() is not theadsafe - it updates a HashMap. So you need to put the call inside an event.enqueueWork() like you do for your registerPOIs().

You are missing a value=Dist.CLIENT here: https://github.com/liorhassin/RPG-Mod/blob/3d693c2b4c0c6fd9190bfe18c3cd4d79585556cd/src/main/java/net/LiorNadav/rpgmod/RPGMod.java#L55

which means your mod will crash on a server when it tries to access client only classes.

You already have somewhere where you could put this event listener that is correctly defined:

I have a similar issue.
I made a weapon that extends BowItem.  The item animations work, but the screen doesn't zoom in like when you use the regular Bow.
Not sure if OP is having the same issue, but it may be related.

New to the forum, so let me know if I should move this to a fresh post.

Sorry for the delay busy with my exams.

Thank you very much for the help, Fixed all client related stuff to that one file that got Dist.client there.

also its much cleaner now and easy to understand.
fixing the ItemPropeties.register() if you could tell me on which file you see that problem, I couldn't find the file with ItemPropeties.register() and also has the event parameter in it so I can fix that problem.
Also having issue with rendering my new arrow when it fly, will dig into it later.

Again super thank you for helped me understand my issue quickly.

I linked it above, you need to change Items.BOW to item

- ItemProperties.register(Items.BOW, new ResourceLocation("pull"), (itemStack, level, entity, i) -> {
+ ItemProperties.register(item, new ResourceLocation("pull"), (itemStack, level, entity, i) -> {

Please start your own thread.

Oh sorry if I didn’t explain myself right. The animation is working I meant where should I add the event.enqueueWork() so I will make sure I update the hashmap on the server side.

The same code. Those ItemProperties.registers needs to be called within an enqueueWork() so they run on the main render thread instead of concurrently with other mods doing the same thing.

Alright I see now, I will make sure to fix that now.

Thanks!
