I'm trying to use particle to perform some magic effect.

And as the particle is only spawn in client, that means other player would not see the particle.

I'm thinking about passing all the parameters through the Packet to the players and render the particle in their own client.

I know this would work, but I'm trying to find some better(easier) way to do this. Or is this the common way to render the particle effects?

That seems not work as the parameters in the serverside cant be got from client side.

I know datawatcher can do this. But there is no difference with using Packet.

Dont the effects are rendered in the client side?

I dont know how to create effects in the server.

I'm trying to do this like:

 

                  Packet              Packet

Player magic  ----->  Server  ---------->  Other player would see the magic

      |                                                                |

Render himself                                        render themselves

 

As I said before, the client cant get the entity information from the server directly, I think it's not useful spawning entity in the server side.

Client -> sends info to server.

Server spawns entity based on that information.

Each client renders the entity as they do for all entities based on the information minecraft sends them about the entity, as entities are synced from server to client by minecraft.

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

Okay, I know what you mean. But do all the variable in the class will sync? I don't think so.

The client only sync some "useful" information from the server like the position or something like that.

But the custom information need to sync myself through datawatcher or something, am I right?

And I prefer using datawatcher then packet as it's easier :P

    • Ah, it appears I spoke too soon, I still need a little help here. I now have the forceloading working reliably.  However, I've realized it's not always the first tick that loads the entity.  I've seen it take anywhere from 2-20ish to actually go through, in which time my debugging has revealed that the chunk is loaded, but during which time calling  serverLevelIn.getEntity(uuidIn) returns a null result.  I suspect this has to do with queuing and how entities are loaded into the game.  While not optimal, it's acceptable, and I don't think there's a whole ton I can do to avoid it. However, my concern is that occasionally teleporting an entity in this manner causes a lag spike.  It's not every time and gives the appearance of being correlated with when other chunks are loading in.  It's also not typically a long spike, but can last a second or two, which is less than ideal.  The gist of how I'm summoning is here (although I've omitted some parts that weren't relevant.  The lag occurs before the actual summon so I'm pretty confident it's the loading, and not the actual summon call). ChunkPos chunkPos = new ChunkPos(entityPosIn); if (serverLevelIn.areEntitiesLoaded(chunkPos.toLong())) { boolean isSummoned = // The method I'm using for actual summoning is called here. Apart from a few checks, the bulk of it is shown later on. if (isSummoned) { // Code that runs here just notifies the player of the summon, clears it from the queue, and removes the forceload } } else { // I continue forcing the chunk until the summon succeeds, to make sure it isn't inadvertently cleared ForgeChunkManager.forceChunk(serverLevelIn, MODID, summonPosIn, chunkPos.x, chunkPos.z, true, true); } The summon code itself uses serverLevelIn.getEntity(uuidIn) to retrieve the entity, and moves it as such.  It is then moved thusly: if (entity.isAlive()) { entity.moveTo(posIn.getX(), posIn.getY(), posIn.getZ()); serverLevelIn.playSound(null, entity, SoundEvents.ENDERMAN_TELEPORT, SoundSource.NEUTRAL, 1.0F, 1.0F); return true; } I originally was calling .getEntity() more frequently and didn't have the check for whether or not entities were loaded in place to prevent unnecessary code calls, but even with those safety measures in place, the lag still persists.  Could this just be an issue with 1.18's lack of optimization in certain areas?  Is there anything I can do to mitigate it?  Is there a performance boosting mod I could recommend alongside my own to reduce the chunk loading lag? At the end of the day, it does work, and I'm putting measures in place to prevent players from abusing the system to cause lag (i.e. each player can only have one queued summon at a time-- trying to summon another replaces the first call).  It's also not an unacceptable level of lag, IMO, given the infrequency of such calls, and the fact that I'm providing the option to toggle off the feature if server admins don't want it used.  However, no amount of lag is ideal, so if possible I'd love to find a more elegant solution-- or at least a mod recommendation to help improve it. Thanks!
