Hey everyone,

 

So, as a side project to my regular mod, I've been making a "Simple Blocks" mod, which just adds bock to creative that have block textures. Have a free example!

You'll notice my floating signs, telling me which block is which. The reason I have floaty signs is because of an "Invisible Block" I added, which works (to some description). You'll see what I mean by that here:

My blocks are simply registered under the net.minecraft.block.Block.class. with this:

invisibleBlock = new Block(invisibleBlockID, Material.iron)
        .setUnlocalizedName("invisibleblock").func_111022_d("invisibleblock")
	.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock).setBlockUnbreakable();

 

My question is; is there a way to have my block completely invisible (except for the wireframe), without it making everything connected to it invisible too?

 

That is all

Thanks

Override this method in your block:

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    /**
     * Returns true if the given side of this block type should be rendered, if the adjacent block is at the given
     * coordinates.  Args: blockAccess, x, y, z, side
     */
    public boolean shouldSideBeRendered(IBlockAccess par1IBlockAccess, int par2, int par3, int par4, int par5)
    {

When using BlockGlass the block will have glass-like properties you may don't want to have, like the loss of the block when you break it in survival. What's the problem with creating a class? :)

I was given a challenge to use the least amount of classes as I possibly could. At the moment I have two, and I was trying to stick to that. My textures also don't work in new classes, but I believe that's a bug in the version of forge I have, as I'm not using latest.

do they all have the same block class ? like is that a multiblock, because then i could understand why you would not want to create a new block...

 

anyway you can always reimplement the method that gotolink talked about

or

if you're using the Block class withotu anything else you can always just override the method gotolink pointed dynamicly, you wouldnt need to create a new class.

I am indeed using 1 block ID for each texture, and how would I go about dynamically overriding the method, without creating another class, or changing from using the Block constructor?

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
