[SOLVED] Best way to pass custom data from server to clients upon connect?

Hi,

 

I'm writing a simple mod which dynamically adds new dimensions that are convenient for automated mining.

 

Everything is basically working as I want, with (surprise) one exception. The problem only occurs when running the mod in a dedicated server setting. If a player logs out while in a mining world, and then tries to reconnect, the client doesn't know about the dimension id and provider type id which causes an exception.

 

I'm handling this in other scenarios by sending custom packets to the client, but I haven't figured out how to provide the information before the client tries to load the dimension when connecting. I would just like to send a list of dimension ids so that the client can call DimensionManager.registerDimension etc. on it's side. I've tried quite a few things, but they either don't work at all or seem unreliable.

 

Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated!

 

Update: I found a solution to this problem, though it's probably not the "best". I'll put it here in case it can help anyone else:

 

I implemented ConnectionHandler and in connectionReceived I use the SaveHandler for dimension 0 to load the player data of the connecting client (by username). This so that I could get the correct dimension id.

 

If the dimension id belongs to a dimension generated by my mod, I send a basic Packet250CustomPayload packet with the dimension id to the client. The client can then call DimensionManager.registerDimension and registerProviderType before the world is loaded, and the exception is avoided.

      CurseForge all the mods 9 "unable to start Java."

      By incompetence1 · Posted

      Recently while playing offline due to internet outages Malwarebytes identified Javaw.exe as malware, not thinking too much of it i deleted the file causing this error.  Unable to start Java. Error details: The requested operation requires elevation. Filename on disk: javaw.exe Path: C:\Users\---\curseforge\minecraft\Install\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin\javaw.exe Exists: File I reinstalled the file, same error occurred. I deleted CurseForge, over wolf and Minecraft and reinstalled them. Same error occurring. I have read starting Minecraft in administrator mode will help. I attempted to launch Minecraft through CurseForge in administrative mode this did not help.  I updated and downloaded the newest version of java, again receiving the same error. I updated Malwarebytes authorizing settings to allow for Javaw.exe through the pathway C:\Users\jacob\curseforge\minecraft\Install\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin\javaw.exe this did not assist either.  I am unsure of what to try next or what i am missing, i am not an expert with the complexities of these systems but any help to teach me or assist in problem solving would help. I also cannot find any debug logs or crash logs based on this specific circumstance.  The only thing that pops up when I search debug through the files is https://pastebin.com/WqMEvEn6.

      onGround Doesn't work/exist for me

      By BubbaNathan · Posted

      I have been trying my hardest to find the method to detect if the player is on the ground. I looked it up and people just say it like onGround always works, or isOnGround always works. Nothing shows up for me and the wording is red. I tried looking up an import but it doesn't seem to exist. I had to same issue with hasGlint, which turned out to be in the Item class and was isFoil instead. I even found the checkfalldamage method in the Living Entity class (I found this through looking at isFallFlying method and looking at usages) but it  uses its own variable to see if the player is on the ground, and I have NO idea where it gets that from! (It is called pOnGround) I am using Intellij, SDk 21, Language level 17, and the Forge version is 1.20.1-47.1.0. I Don't know where to look anymore and I feel like im going crazy.
