Getting Player UUID from Player Name (1.18.2)

Posted December 3, 20222 yr

Hi, I've been struggling for quite a while to get my Packets to work the way I want to. Here is what I want to do. I have ruler item, when the player uses the item it opens up a gui with a text field, I want to be able to put another players name in the text field and it will return how many blocks away you are from the players name whom you typed in the box. I'm currently struggling to save data in the packet. Also I was told to use getPlayerByUUID and saving data using writeUUID and readUUID, but I dont know what to change in my current code to support this. Thank you in Advance!

Here are the relevant classes on Github:

That code is complete rubbish. You are handling a packet serverside by accessing and using client api?

https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Sides

Every entity (including players) has a UUID. Entity.getUUID()

This is intended for persistent storage across game restarts.

And allows you to refer to entities/players that are not loaded in the game.

If you want a server to tell a client how to get an entity, you will find Entity.getId() more useful.

You use Level.getEntity() client side to retrieve the entity with that id.

Assuming the client knows about that entity, i.e. it is in the client's currently loaded level/chunks.

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.

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

You can add mob spawns using Forge's Biome Modifiers feature. I won't go into details on how to use a data generator for them, but here's a simple example:
{ "type": "forge:add_spawns", // Required "biomes": "#namespace:biome_tag", // Accepts a biome id, [list of biome ids], or #namespace:biome_tag "spawners": { "type": "namespace:entity_type", // Type of mob to spawn "weight": 100, // int, spawn weighting "minCount": 1, // int, minimum pack size "maxCount": 4 // int, maximum pack size } }This JSON file would go somewhere like this: data/modid/forge/biome_modifier/your_biome_modifier.json

How to change player renderer and transform model parts?

I have been trying for a while now to make a custom player renderer, and replace the vanilla player renderer with it. So far I've come up with a custom player renderer class that extends vanilla PlayerRenderer:
package com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer; import com.mojang.blaze3d.vertex.PoseStack; import net.minecraft.client.player.AbstractClientPlayer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.MultiBufferSource; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.player.PlayerRenderer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.EntityRendererProvider; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderPlayerEvent; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; public class PoseablePlayerRenderer extends PlayerRenderer { public PoseablePlayerRenderer(EntityRendererProvider.Context ctx, boolean slim) { super(ctx, slim); System.out.println("here too"); } @Override public void render(AbstractClientPlayer p_117788_, float p_117789_, float p_117790_, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource p_117792_, int p_117793_) { System.out.println("didnt get here lol"); model.leftArm.xRot=(float)Math.toRadians(160); super.render(p_117788_, p_117789_, p_117790_, poseStack, p_117792_, p_117793_); } } As you can see, the intended purpose of this is to raise the player's left arm by 160 degrees. However, combined with this logic in ClientModEvents:
@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { EntityRenderers.register((EntityType<? extends AbstractClientPlayer>)(EntityType<?)EntityType.PLAYER, ctx -> new PoseablePlayerRenderer(ctx, true)); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.MAGNESIS_BLOCK.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.REMOTE_BOMB.get(), ThrownItemRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.CRYONIS_ICE.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.STASIS_BLOCK.get(), FallingBlockRenderer::new); } @SubscribeEvent public static void registerLayerDefinitions(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(new ModelLayerLocation(new ResourceLocation(BOTW.MODID, "paraglider"), "main"), ParagliderLayer::createBodyLayer); } }(I also have a paraglider layer here for something else, it's working perfectly fine, also I used the slim setting because the player is slim in 1.20.1 forge)
This logic isn't replacing the renderer, as far as I can tell. Can someone please advise as to why, and how to fix it?

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

I'm on 1.20.1 and was wondering if there was a way to add a mob I am going to make to a other mod's biome (Regions Unexplored in this case). I am trying to figure this out before I start coding the mod. Could someone point me to a good guide on this? I saw some things about biome modifier's but all the resources are either to short, unhelpful or for a different version. Thanks in advance. (i am a beginner but i have java and modding knowledge so this isn't like a "i am new and don't know anything about coding" problem btw)
