I found this tutorial but I after a few minutes I left, because Video tutorials are annoying to follow is their a text version of this tutorial about MenuProvider and BlockEntites? He creates a block called Gemstone Cutter similar to a brewing stand. I am a complete noob at this. A simple search leads me nowhere.

Afaik, there are no text tutorials about menus yet, and the one I'm writing probably won't be out for a while since there is a lot of content to cover. As for block entities, there's a general section on it in the forge docs. Though if you want to handle specific logic, the best thing to do is to look in vanilla for something similar, strip out the parts you need, and improve upon it to get rid of some inefficiencies.

How do I look at the vanilla code in Intellij IDEA? Edit: Also it seems stupid that there are no text tutorials, I would assume those would be the first things.

Google the IDE and look up the features necessary to do so. There is plenty of text and videos about how to use it.

Everything is written by volunteers and they have to be maintained by volunteers. Additionally, when it comes to the official docs or the community wiki, there are only so many people who have time and are willing to do that. It requires a lot of research to be able to write something competent without providing copy-paste elements. So, unless you're willing to hire people to do so, contribute to the people who keep Forge going, or write some yourself, expect that there probably won't be any documentation for anything besides from simple elements.

      Death screen only shows the "You Died!" part

      By GPGPGold9393 · Posted

      The problem occurs also in 1.20.1 Forge, but with an "Error executing task on client" instead. I have "Sinytra Connector" installed. On 1.21.5 Fabric, there is no problem. When this happens, the chat message before the death screen appears gets sent, with an extra dash added.

      Can't get custom sounds to play. MC 1.19.2.

      Well, as usual, it was user error. Naming mismatch in sounds.json.  Please delete this post if you find it necessary.

      Hello Forge community.  I'm running into an issue with a mod I'm working on.  To preface, I can call /playsound modId:name music @a and I can hear the sound I registered being played in game. Great!  However, I cannot get it to trigger via my mod code.    Registration: public static final RegistryObject<SoundEvent> A_WORLD_OF_MADNESS = SOUND_EVENTS.register("a_world_of_madness", () -> new SoundEvent(new ResourceLocation("tetheredsouls", "a_world_of_madness")));   Playback: Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getInstance(); if (!(mc.player instanceof LocalPlayer) || mc.level == null) return; LocalPlayer player = (LocalPlayer) mc.player; BlockPos pos = player.blockPosition(); SoundEvent track = ModSounds.A_WORLD_OF_MADNESS.get(); System.out.println(track); System.out.println(pos); System.out.println(player); // play exactly like the tutorial: client-only, at the player's position try { mc.level.playLocalSound( player.getX(), player.getY(), player.getZ(), track, SoundSource.MUSIC, // Or MASTER if needed 1f, 1f, false ); System.out.println("[DEBUG] playSound success: " + track.getLocation()); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("[ERROR] Failed to play sound: " + track.getLocation()); e.printStackTrace(); } Sounds.json:   { "theme_of_laura": { "category": "music", "sounds": [ { "name": "tetheredsouls:a_world_of_madness", "stream": true } ] } } Things I have tried: - multiple .ogg files. Short .ogg files (5 seconds, <100KB).  - default minecraft sounds imported from import net.minecraft.sounds.SoundEvents; These work given my code. No idea why these are different.  - playSound() method, as well as several others in past iterations that did not work   I would be forever grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction. I've looked at several mod github repositories and found extremely similar code to what I'm doing. I've also found several threads in this forum that did not solve my issue. I just cannot figure out what I'm doing differently, and why I'm able to queue sounds manually with playsound but the code won't play it (despite confirming the code is being run with the debug statements.)
