[1.19.X] Need help with Forge documentation

Hello,

I'm posting here because I need some advice.

For the past few days, I've been going through the Forge 1.19.X documentation to try and create a mod, but I have to admit that I often feel lost with it. I know how to code in Java, although I'm not excellent in this field, and I have a good understanding of algorithms. It's also my first time attempting to create a mod by coding it manually.

Whenever I try to follow the documentation, I always seem to miss bits and pieces here and there, and to find what I'm missing, I have to search through forums to get just one line that seems obvious to everyone else.

For example, I'm currently trying to create a GUI. So, I'm reading the documentation for Menus and Screens and adapting the examples to my case. It took me a good 3 hours to find the line to register because I couldn't find it in the documentation. There was something similar, but it was for Blocks or Items, not for a menu. 

public static final DeferredRegister<MenuType<?>> REGISTER = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.MENU_TYPES, MyMod.MODID);
public static final RegistryObject<MenuType<MyMenu>> MY_MENU = REGISTER.register("my_menu", () -> new MenuType<>(MyMenu::new));

By the way, in the doc, there's even a mention of "FeatureFlagSet," but it's not explained anywhere what it is, and the solution I found doesn't even use it.

Another example, I wanted to create an event when the player right-clicks with a specific item in hand, but I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation. I had to search through the source code of other mods to find something I could adapt.

So, here's my question: Is it possible to create a mod using only the Forge documentation? What am I missing? Why can't I find explanations of the different elements that make up the examples in the documentation?

I also think it might be partially my fault; I probably don't search in the best way. If someone could guide me even a little on how to read the documentation or how to search through it, that would be great!

Thanks to those who take the time to read and/or respond to me 馃憠馃憟

The forge documentation is there mostly to just get you started, and explain some key terms/ideas. I don't think they meant it to be a how-to or to teach people how to accomplish specific goals within their mod.

There's is a community wiki that was being used, I have no idea if it will be updated/maintained going forward, that has a little bit more/other information: https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Main_Page

Also McJty goes into some detail on some common goals people have while creating mods: https://www.mcjty.eu/docs/intro

Beyond that, the best advice I have is to look at the code of other mods, and even dig through the minecraft code itself for ideas of what's available for overrides/properties/etc., and tinker with stuff constantly :)

      Register custom PlayerRenderer

      By thuggeelya 路 Posted

      Hi! I'm trying to add my custom models/textures renderer like this: public class PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer extends EntityRenderer<Player> { // wrapper class under my LivingEntityRenderer class implementation private final PonyPlayerRenderer innerRenderer; private final PonyPlayerRenderer innerSlimRenderer; public PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer(final EntityRendererProvider.Context context) { super(context); System.out.println("creating new PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer"); this.innerRenderer = new PonyPlayerRenderer(context, false); this.innerSlimRenderer = new PonyPlayerRenderer(context, true); } @Override public void render(final Player entity, final float yaw, final float partialTicks, final PoseStack poseStack, final MultiBufferSource bufferSource, final int packedLight) { System.out.println("PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer render: " + entity.toString()); if (entity instanceof AbstractClientPlayer clientPlayer) { if (clientPlayer.getModelName().contains("slim")) { innerSlimRenderer.render(clientPlayer, yaw, partialTicks, poseStack, bufferSource, packedLight); } else { innerRenderer.render(clientPlayer, yaw, partialTicks, poseStack, bufferSource, packedLight); } } } @Override public ResourceLocation getTextureLocation(final Player player) { System.out.println("PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer getTextureLocation"); if (player instanceof AbstractClientPlayer clientPlayer) { return clientPlayer.getSkinTextureLocation(); } System.out.println("player instanceof AbstractClientPlayer is false"); return getDefaultSkin(player.getUUID()); } } public class PonyPlayerRenderer extends LivingEntityRenderer<AbstractClientPlayer, PlayerModel<AbstractClientPlayer>> { private final PlayerModel<AbstractClientPlayer> earthModel; private final PlayerModel<AbstractClientPlayer> pegasusModel; private final PlayerModel<AbstractClientPlayer> unicornModel; public PonyPlayerRenderer(final EntityRendererProvider.Context context, final boolean slim) { super( context, slim ? new PonyModelSlim(context.bakeLayer(PonyModelSlim.LAYER_LOCATION)) : new PonyModel(context.bakeLayer(PonyModel.LAYER_LOCATION)), 0.5f ); System.out.println("creating new PonyPlayerRenderer"); this.earthModel = slim ? new PonyModelSlim(context.bakeLayer(PonyModelSlim.LAYER_LOCATION)) : new PonyModel(context.bakeLayer(PonyModel.LAYER_LOCATION)); this.pegasusModel = new PegasusModel(context.bakeLayer(PegasusModel.LAYER_LOCATION)); this.unicornModel = new UnicornModel(context.bakeLayer(UnicornModel.LAYER_LOCATION)); } @Override public void render(final AbstractClientPlayer player, final float entityYaw, final float partialTicks, final PoseStack poseStack, final MultiBufferSource buffer, final int packedLight) { final PonyRace race = player.getCapability(PONY_DATA) .map(data -> ofNullable(data.getRace()).orElse(PonyRace.EARTH)) .orElse(PonyRace.EARTH); this.model = switch (race) { case PEGASUS -> pegasusModel; case UNICORN -> unicornModel; case EARTH -> earthModel; }; super.render(player, entityYaw, partialTicks, poseStack, buffer, packedLight); } @Override public ResourceLocation getTextureLocation(final AbstractClientPlayer player) { final PonyRace race = player.getCapability(PONY_DATA) .map(data -> ofNullable(data.getRace()).orElse(PonyRace.EARTH)) .orElse(PonyRace.EARTH); return switch (race) { case EARTH -> fromNamespaceAndPath(MODID, "textures/entity/earth_pony.png"); case PEGASUS -> fromNamespaceAndPath(MODID, "textures/entity/pegasus.png"); case UNICORN -> fromNamespaceAndPath(MODID, "textures/entity/unicorn.png"); }; } } @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = MOD, value = CLIENT) public class ClientRenderers { // mod bus render registration config @SubscribeEvent public static void onRegisterLayerDefinitions(final EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(PonyModel.LAYER_LOCATION, PonyModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(PonyModelSlim.LAYER_LOCATION, PonyModelSlim::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(PegasusModel.LAYER_LOCATION, PegasusModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(UnicornModel.LAYER_LOCATION, UnicornModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(InnerPonyArmorModel.LAYER_LOCATION, InnerPonyArmorModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(OuterPonyArmorModel.LAYER_LOCATION, OuterPonyArmorModel::createBodyLayer); } @SubscribeEvent public static void onRegisterRenderers(final EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterRenderers event) { event.registerEntityRenderer(EntityType.PLAYER, PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer::new); System.out.println("onRegisterRenderers end"); } } Method onRegisterRenderers() is called and I can see it being logged. But when I enter the world, my PonyWrapperRenderer render() method doesn't ever seem to be called. I also tried to put my renderer to EntityRenderDispatcher's playerRenderers via reflection: @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = MOD, value = CLIENT) public class ClientRenderers { @SubscribeEvent public static void onRegisterLayerDefinitions(final EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(PonyModel.LAYER_LOCATION, PonyModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(PonyModelSlim.LAYER_LOCATION, PonyModelSlim::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(PegasusModel.LAYER_LOCATION, PegasusModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(UnicornModel.LAYER_LOCATION, UnicornModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(InnerPonyArmorModel.LAYER_LOCATION, InnerPonyArmorModel::createBodyLayer); event.registerLayerDefinition(OuterPonyArmorModel.LAYER_LOCATION, OuterPonyArmorModel::createBodyLayer); } @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(final FMLClientSetupEvent event) { event.enqueueWork(() -> { try { final EntityRenderDispatcher dispatcher = Minecraft.getInstance().getEntityRenderDispatcher(); final Field renderersField = getEntityRenderDispatcherField("playerRenderers"); final Field itemInHandRenderer = getEntityRenderDispatcherField("itemInHandRenderer"); @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") final Map<String, EntityRenderer<? extends Player>> playerRenderers = (Map<String, EntityRenderer<? extends Player>>)renderersField.get(dispatcher); final PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer renderer = new PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer( new EntityRendererProvider.Context( dispatcher, Minecraft.getInstance().getItemRenderer(), Minecraft.getInstance().getBlockRenderer(), (ItemInHandRenderer)itemInHandRenderer.get(dispatcher), Minecraft.getInstance().getResourceManager(), Minecraft.getInstance().getEntityModels(), Minecraft.getInstance().font ) ); playerRenderers.put("default", renderer); playerRenderers.put("slim", renderer); System.out.println("Player renderers replaced"); } catch (final Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException("Failed to replace player renderers", e); } }); } private static Field getEntityRenderDispatcherField(final String fieldName) throws NoSuchFieldException { final Field field = EntityRenderDispatcher.class.getDeclaredField(fieldName); field.setAccessible(true); return field; } } But I receive the error before Minecraft Client appears (RuntimeException: Failed to replace player renderers - from ClientRenderers onClientSetup() method - and its cause below): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No model for layer anotherlittlepony:earth_pony#main at net.minecraft.client.model.geom.EntityModelSet.bakeLayer(EntityModelSet.java:18) ~[forge-1.20.1-47.4.0_mapped_official_1.20.1-recomp.jar:?] {re:classloading,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A} at net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.EntityRendererProvider$Context.bakeLayer(EntityRendererProvider.java:69) ~[forge-1.20.1-47.4.0_mapped_official_1.20.1-recomp.jar:?] {re:classloading,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A} at com.thuggeelya.anotherlittlepony.client.renderer.pony.PonyPlayerRenderer.<init>(PonyPlayerRenderer.java:32) ~[main/:?] {re:classloading} at com.thuggeelya.anotherlittlepony.client.renderer.pony.PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer.<init>(PonyPlayerWrapperRenderer.java:24) ~[main/:?] {re:classloading} at com.thuggeelya.anotherlittlepony.client.renderer.ClientRenderers.lambda$onClientSetup$0(ClientRenderers.java:79) ~[main/:?] {re:classloading} ... 33 more Problem appears when EntityRendererProvider context tries to bakeLayer with my model layer location: new PonyModel(context.bakeLayer(PonyModel.LAYER_LOCATION)); // PonyPlayerRenderer.java:32 public class PonyModel extends PlayerModel<AbstractClientPlayer> { // the model class itself public static final ModelLayerLocation LAYER_LOCATION = new ModelLayerLocation( ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(MODID, "earth_pony"), "main" ); public PonyModel(final ModelPart root) { super(root, false); } public static LayerDefinition createBodyLayer() { // some CubeListBuilder stuff for model appearance } } Textures PNGs are placed at: resources/assets/[my mod id]/textures/entity.
