Rendering Sphere - Help


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,


I'm new to modding. I'm trying to make a soccer mod and struggling to create the ball entity. I created it in 1.12, but impossible to port it in 1.19+ because Glu Spheres are not usable anymore.

Do you have any idea how to do it ?
Thanks in advance

It's not something I know a lot about. But here's some pointers so you can research around the topic.

 

When minecraft draws stuff, it does so by sending vertices in a buffer to a shader. Each vertex has data like position, color, facing, texture co-ords in the atlas, etc.

Some terminology:

vertex -> structured data

buffer -> contiguous data passed to the graphics card, e.g. an array of vertices

shader -> program that runs on the graphics card: https://github.com/misode/mcmeta/tree/assets/assets/minecraft/shaders/core

 

Each buffer/vertex also has a "primitive", that says how it should be interpreted. https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Primitive

There is no sphere primitive in opengl. Instead you build it up from other primitives, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7687148/drawing-sphere-in-opengl-without-using-glusphere

 

In minecraft which primitive to use is determined by the RenderType. Which has a VertextFormat.Mode (LINES, QUADS, TRIANGLES, etc.) amongst other things.

Most places in minecraft obviously use LINES or QUADS ("squares"). An example of using triangles can be found in MobRenderer.renderLeash().

 

That's the 10,000 foot view. I am not very good the at the details. 🙂

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.

    • with just forge it works, and the logs are the same, as the error is the same. this log i provided is from today.
    • I want to add trees to my mod but all the examples I've seen so far include data generation, and not json files. The json files for the blocks are not the issue here. Unless trees require certain json files as a structure, I'm certain I've got this part covered. The thing I'm looking for is probably a deferred register or any other way to register something as a tree so it will grow from a sapling. Here is what I currently have: public static final DeferredRegister<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> TREES = DeferredRegister.create(Registries.CONFIGURED_FEATURE, ExtinctionCraft.MOD_ID); // How do I register the tree? public static final ResourceKey<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> SEQUOIA_KEY = registerKey("sequoia"); public static void bootstrap(BootstapContext<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> context) { register(SEQUOIA_KEY, Feature.TREE, new TreeConfiguration.TreeConfigurationBuilder( BlockStateProvider.simple(ModBlocks.SEQUOIA_LOG.get()), new StraightTrunkPlacer(5, 4, 3), BlockStateProvider.simple(ModBlocks.SEQUOIA_LEAVES.get()), new PineFoliagePlacer(ConstantInt.of(3), ConstantInt.of(2), ConstantInt.of(3)), new TwoLayersFeatureSize(1, 0, 2)).build()); } public static ResourceKey<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> registerKey(String name) { return ResourceKey.create(Registries.CONFIGURED_FEATURE, new ResourceLocation(ExtinctionCraft.MOD_ID, name)); } private static <FC extends FeatureConfiguration, F extends Feature<FC>> void register(BootstapContext<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> context, ResourceKey<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> key, F feature, FC configuration) { context.register(key, new ConfiguredFeature<>(feature, configuration)); } I also have this Grower class: public class SequoiaGrower extends AbstractTreeGrower { @Nullable @Override protected ResourceKey<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>> getConfiguredFeature(RandomSource pRandom, boolean pHasFlowers) { return ModConfiguredFeatures.SEQUOIA_KEY; } } And the registry of the blocks that make up the tree (excluding wood blocks that I have registered but that don't make up part of a tree): public static final RegistryObject<Block> SEQUOIA_LOG = registerBlock("sequoia_log", () -> new ModFlammableRotatedPillarBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.OAK_LOG).strength(3))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> SEQUOIA_LEAVES = registerBlock("sequoia_leaves", () -> new ModLeavesBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.OAK_LEAVES))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> SEQUOIA_SAPLING = registerBlock("sequoia_sapling", () -> new SaplingBlock(new SequoiaGrower(), BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.OAK_SAPLING)));   How do I move on from here? Examples of your code are welcome too.
