Maximum allowable capability data size, and how concerned do I need to be about it?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

This is another mostly theoretical question-- how much data can a capability be reasonably expected to store without getting overwhelmed and crashing (and more importantly, how does that practically correspond to the amount seen in items, entities, etc.).  I've seen cases where modpacks have experienced crashes due to players putting full storage containers in storage containers in storage containers, but even when the crash occurred, it seemed like it took a lot to get to that point.  If I want to create capabilities that can store the data for example of a storage container, or write the data of a bunch of entities to a capability, for example, at what point should I be concerned about storing too much data?  Or is it something that I likely don't need to worry about because it really only occurs when someone is storing many full chests' worth of items within a single inventory?

 

Thank you for your time, and have a great day.

See for example BlockItem.canFitInsideConstainerItem() or ShulkerBoxBlockEntity.canPlaceItemThroughFace() for how this recursion is stopped for shulker boxes.

There are a number of different "hidden" limits on saved/networked data. The most notable is java's DataOutput.writeUTF() limit of 65535 for a String (really half that since String characters can be 2 bytes).

You probably won't run into any of these of limits unless you are not being sensible.

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

Oh!  I will take a look at those methods, thank you!

Do entities written as NBT using the built-in methods to write them to NBT tend to be particularly bulky?  That's my biggest concern here.  I'm hoping many of them won't be, but I'm especially worried about the sort that can actually have inventories.  I need to save the data for them, ideally a potentially large quantity without having to worry about overloading anything, into a capability, but if that's likely to get out of control quickly, I'll have to figure out how to cap it.

Why don't you experiment and find out?

Entity.save()

net.minecraft.nbt.NbtIo

    • When I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2018, I was skeptical. The idea of a decentralized, digital currency seemed too good to be true. But I was intrigued as I learned more about the technology behind it and its potential. I started small, investing just a few hundred dollars, dipping my toes into the cryptocurrency waters. At first, it was exhilarating to watch the value of my investment grow exponentially. I felt like I was part of the future, an early adopter of this revolutionary new asset. But that euphoria was short-lived. One day, I logged into my digital wallet only to find it empty - my Bitcoin had vanished without a trace. It turned out that the online exchange I had trusted had been hacked, and my funds were stolen. I was devastated, both financially and emotionally. All the potential I had seen in Bitcoin was tainted by the harsh reality that with decentralization came a lack of regulation and oversight. My hard-earned money was gone, lost to the ether of the digital world. This experience taught me a painful lesson about the price of trust in the uncharted territory of cryptocurrency. While the technology holds incredible promise, the risks can be catastrophic if you don't approach it with extreme caution. My Bitcoin investment gamble had failed, and I was left to pick up the pieces, wiser but poorer for having placed my faith in the wrong hands. My sincere appreciation goes to MUYERN TRUST HACKER. You are my hero in recovering my lost funds. Send a direct m a i l ( muyerntrusted ( @ ) mail-me ( . )c o m ) or message on whats app : + 1 ( 4-4-0 ) ( 3 -3 -5 ) ( 0-2-0-5 )
    • You could try posting a log (if there is no log at all, it may be the launcher you are using, the FAQ may have info on how to enable the log) as described in the FAQ, however this will probably need to be reported to/remedied by the mod author.
    • So me and a couple of friends are playing with a shitpost mod pack and one of the mods in the pack is corail tombstone and for some reason there is a problem with it, where on death to fire the player will get kicked out of the server and the tombstone will not spawn basically deleting an entire inventory, it doesn't matter what type of fire it is, whether it's from vanilla fire/lava, or from modded fire like ice&fire/lycanites and it's common enough to where everyone on the server has experienced at least once or twice and it doesn't give any crash log. a solution to this would be much appreciated thank you!
    • It is 1.12.2 - I have no idea if there is a 1.12 pack
