Need Help With Making Content Packs For My Mod :( Please Help ???

Thanks for reading this, first of all, because I'm seriously confused!

 

    So I'm basically working on a mod which bring clothes into Minecraft for 1.6.2. So, I have my basic mod done, but I now need to work out a way of allowing people to download individual content packs, which add sets of clothing into my main mod. So what I'm really asking is this:

  • How Do I Make Content Packs Compatible With My Main Mod?
  • How Do I Set Them Up?

    Please post any ideas that you guys have, I'd be really grateful if you could help!  :D

You basically want to add DLC's to your mod?

 

How do you want them to work exactly?

As big things downloaded seperatly?

As stuff turned on and off via a GUI menu?

etc.

 

Basically, I would like people to be able to download a folder which can be put inside of a "DLC PACKS" folder (Just an example name), and then my mod would load all of the items, blocks, etc inside of that folder, but I really haven't got a ckue how to do it

 

    Thanks for the reply! :)

Are you talking about java files to compile and obfuscate, or some setting files with "readable" text ?

 

    I mean coding it in java, so just like I would with a normal mod (public static Item... and so on), but I need my main mod to be able to read the new content packs somehow, and to be able to add their items into the game

It sounds like you are wanting to do something like what the actual Forge API does. It basically reads EVERYTHING in the /mods folder and if there is a class that has the annotation

@Mod ( params )

then it loads it as a mod.

 

So you would have to do the same thing. You would then use an annotation like

@EsvDefconContentPack ( Same params as @Mod )

 

So yeah... That seems like an extremely hard way to do this. All you really need to do is just basically have it as a "core mod" ( not used in the literal sense of the term core mod ). Then every set of clothing mod would require that mod to be installed.

I have also found that I really love making extremely long and extremely but sometimes not so descriptive variables. Sort of like what I just did there xD

Thanks for your reply, I think that you know exactly what I'm trying to do! So unfortunately I'm still pretty new to java, so I'd need a little more explanation of how to do it. So if I use this @Mod annotation, then I will obviously be putting it inside of a new class file? Which I'm guessing that you would also need to make a new workspace for it, because it's a different mod. I'm probably wrong, so please correct me if I am :)

Nice try, but not quite mate. I actually have NO IDEA how to ENTIRELY go about this, but I do know what it would require.

 

I have never made my own annotation files, but I would suggest looking at the Mod annotation class. I would then also look at what Lycanus Darkbinder suggested, the cpw.mods.fml.common.discovery package.

 

BUT!!! Before you do ANY of that, go learn a far bit of java. This problem/question seems quite advanced, though I have no idea how hard as I have never tried it, but it is always good to be prepared.

Yeah this was my thought as well of a simple way to do it.

Make those "DLC's" be submods of your main mod, that way if they are downloaded into the /mods folder they will be included else they won't count.

 

You should even be able to make some interface for downloading them and all that via some GUI or something, although loading them will req. a restart of minecraft :P

If you guys dont get it.. then well ya.. try harder...

Submods idea is simple:

The @Mod annotation can already handle basic mod dependency, so make submods use it with [required-after:"basemodid"]

Then you code your own ItemRegistry, or OreRegistry, or whatever in your basemod. All submod should then use that to register things. Making interfaces and release it as an API could be useful too.

    • I'm developing a dimension, but it's kinda resource intensive so some times during player teleporting it lags behind making the player phase down into the void, so im trying to implement some kind of pregeneration to force the game loading a small set of chunks in the are the player will teleport to. Some of the things i've tried like using ServerLevel and ServerChunkCache methods like getChunk() dont actually trigger chunk generation if the chunk isn't already on persistent storage (already generated) or placing tickets, but that doesn't work either. Ideally i should be able to check when the task has ended too. I've peeked around some pregen engines, but they're too complex for my current understanding of the system of which I have just a basic understanding (how ServerLevel ,ServerChunkCache  and ChunkMap work) of. Any tips or other classes I should be looking into to understand how to do this correctly?

    • Way back in the Forge 1.17 days, work started for adding JPMS (Java Platform Module Support) to ModLauncher and ForgeModLoader. This has been used internally by Forge and some libraries for a while now, but mods (those with mods.toml specifically) have not been able to take advantage of it. As of Forge 1.21.1 and 1.21.3, this is now possible!   What is JPMS and what does it mean for modders? JPMS is the Java Platform Module System, introduced in Java 9. It allows you to define modules, which are collections of packages and resources that can be exported or hidden from other modules. This allows for much more fine-tuned control over visibility, cleaner syntax for service declarations and support for sealed types across packages. For example, you might have a mod with a module called `com.example.mod` that exports `com.example.mod.api` and `com.example.mod.impl` to other mods, but hides `com.example.mod.internal` from them. This would allow you to have a clean API for other mods to use, while keeping your internal implementation details hidden from IDE hints, helping prevent accidental usage of internals that might break without prior notice. This is particularly useful if you'd like to use public records with module-private constructors or partially module-private record components, as you can create a sealed interface that only your record implements, having the interface be exported and the record hidden. It's also nice for declaring and using services, as you'll get compile-time errors from the Java compiler for typos and the like, rather than deferring to runtime errors. In more advanced cases, you can also have public methods that are only accessible to specific other modules -- handy if you want internal interactions between multiple of your own mods.   How do I bypass it? We understand there may be drama in implementing a system that prevents mods from accessing each other's internals when necessary (like when a mod is abandoned or you need to fix a compat issue) -- after all, we are already modding a game that doesn't have explicit support for Java mods yet. We have already thought of this and are offering APIs from day one to selectively bypass module restrictions. Let me be clear: Forge mods are not required to use JPMS. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to. The default behaviour is to have fully open, fully exported automatic modules. In Java, you can use the `Add-Opens` and `Add-Exports` manifest attributes to selectively bypass module restrictions of other mods at launch time, and we've added explicit support for these when loading your Forge mods. At compile-time, you can use existing solutions such as the extra-java-module-info Gradle plugin to deal with non-modular dependencies and add extra opens and exports to other modules. Here's an example on how to make the internal package `com.example.examplemod.internal` open to your mod in your build.gradle: tasks.named('jar', Jar) { manifest { attributes([ 'Add-Opens' : 'com.example.examplemod/com.example.examplemod.internal' 'Specification-Title' : mod_id, 'Specification-Vendor' : mod_authors // (...) ]) } } With the above in your mod's jar manifest, you can now reflectively access the classes inside that internal package. Multiple entries are separated with a space, as per Java's official spec. You can also use Add-Exports to directly call without reflection, however you'd need to use the Gradle plugin mentioned earlier to be able to compile. The syntax for Add-Exports is the same as Add-Opens, and instructions for the compile-time step with the Gradle plugin are detailed later in this post. Remember to prefer the opens and exports keywords inside module-info.java for sources you control. The Add-Opens/Add-Exports attributes are only intended for forcing open other mods.   What else is new with module support? Previously, the runtime module name was always forced to the first mod ID in your `mods.toml` file and all packages were forced fully open and exported. Module names are now distinguished from mod IDs, meaning the module name in your module-info.java can be different from the mod ID in your `mods.toml`. This allows you to have a more descriptive module name that doesn't have to be the same as your mod ID, however we strongly recommend including your mod ID as part of your module name to aid troubleshooting. The `Automatic-Module-Name` manifest attribute is now also honoured, allowing you to specify a module name for your mod without needing to create a `module-info.java` file. This is particularly useful for mods that don't care about JPMS features but want to have a more descriptive module name and easier integration with other mods that do use JPMS.   How do I use it? The first step is to create a `module-info.java` file in your mod's source directory. This file should be in the same package as your main mod class, and should look something like this: open module com.example.examplemod { requires net.minecraftforge.eventbus; requires net.minecraftforge.fmlcore; requires net.minecraftforge.forge; requires net.minecraftforge.javafmlmod; requires net.minecraftforge.mergetool.api; requires org.slf4j; requires logging; } For now, we're leaving the whole module open to reflection, which is a good starting point. When we know we want to close something off, we can remove the open modifier from the module and open or export individual packages instead. Remember that you need to be open to Forge (module name net.minecraftforge.forge), otherwise it can't call your mod's constructor. Next is fixing modules in Gradle. While Forge and Java support modules properly, Gradle does not put automatic modules on the module path by default, meaning that the logging module (from com.mojang:logging) is not found. To fix this, add the Gradle plugin and add a compile-time module definition for that Mojang library: plugins { // (...) id 'org.gradlex.extra-java-module-info' version "1.9" } // (...) extraJavaModuleInfo { failOnMissingModuleInfo = false automaticModule("com.mojang:logging", "logging") } The automatic module override specified in your build.gradle should match the runtime one to avoid errors. You can do the same for any library or mod dependency that is missing either a module-info or explicit Automatic-Module-Name, however be aware that you may need to update your mod once said library adds one. That's all you need to get started with module support in your mods. You can learn more about modules and how to use them at dev.java.
