Dynamically creating/loading assets (recipes, textures, models) [1.20.2]


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I've recently gotten into modding again after a hiatus.

Currently I'm experimenting with a mod that would allow users to create simple 'content packs' in plain-text form. These files are loaded on startup by the mod and it then registers items based off of this data via the registry events, which works fine (though I'm not yet sure what would happen if there's a mismatch between the server and client content packs).

However I would like to be able to automatically load & register resources and data for these items, based off of the loaded data; E.G item textures & models, and crafting recipes (dynamically registering recipes used to be quite straightforward last time I did any modding)

I have yet to find anything on this that is up to date, though I did find a solution that would probably work, that essentially relied on handling all the rendering on its own.

Is there any reasonable way to do this, short of requiring the user to also install a resource pack and data pack for every content pack?

yeah, you can do that (make a data pack for recipes and loot tables and make an asset pack for models and textures).

i'll tell you right away it would be a lot of work and questionable benefit - there are already mods that allow you to add items with a few lines of text and a png file. there always have been.

if you really must, investigate source code of BuddingCrystals by XFactHD.

    • Managed to solve the issue myself. Solved by a fresh modpack instance.
    • Hello, so straight to the problem. Today i wanted to startup Enigmatica as usual and it just wont startup. Last night everything worked fine, i didnt even turn off my pc. Crash log: https://mclo.gs/GJ6Kcy1
    • Rubidium and Embeddium are versions of the same mod, you can only have one. I believe Embeddium is the one that's actively maintained.
    • Hello, New to modding, but have a solid CS foundation. I've created multiple custom BlockEntities that all have the same issue, which is that the inventory only updates on right click (overriding the useItemOn method). I've seen multiple posts on here outlining a similar issue to mine, but I've already implemented the solution of: overriding the correct methods in the BlockEntity class and calling setChanged(). I've tried every different place for setChanged() to no success. I'm wondering if I'm missing something else or if there was some change to sending data to the client in 1.21.5? Or will I have to use a custom packet sender? Here is the code for one of my BlockEntity classes with a single inventory slot: public class MyCustomBlockEntity extends BlockEntity { public final ItemStackHandler inventory = new ItemStackHandler(1) { @Override protected int getStackLimit(int slot, @NotNull ItemStack stack) { return 1; } @Override protected void onContentsChanged(int slot) { setChanged(); if (!level.isClientSide()) { level.setBlockAndUpdate(getBlockPos(), getBlockState()); } } }; public MyCustomBlockEntity(BlockPos pPos, BlockState pBlockState) { super(ModBlockEntities.MY_CUSTOM_BE.get(), pPos, pBlockState); } public void clearContents() { inventory.setStackInSlot(0, ItemStack.EMPTY); } public void dropItem() { SimpleContainer inv = new SimpleContainer(inventory.getSlots()); inv.setItem(0, inventory.getStackInSlot(0)); Containers.dropContents(this.level, this.worldPosition, inv); } @Override public void setRemoved() { dropItem(); super.setRemoved(); } @Override protected void saveAdditional(CompoundTag pTag, HolderLookup.Provider pRegistries) { super.saveAdditional(pTag, pRegistries); pTag.put("inventory", inventory.serializeNBT(pRegistries)); } @Override protected void loadAdditional(CompoundTag pTag, HolderLookup.Provider pRegistries) { super.loadAdditional(pTag, pRegistries); inventory.deserializeNBT(pRegistries, pTag.getCompound("inventory").get()); } @Override public Packet<ClientGamePacketListener> getUpdatePacket() { return ClientboundBlockEntityDataPacket.create(this); } @Override public CompoundTag getUpdateTag(HolderLookup.Provider pRegistries) { return saveWithoutMetadata(pRegistries); } } Mostly encountering the issue when calling the clearContents() method anywhere outside of useItemOn() in the Block class. I've also tried overriding both the handleUpdateTag() and onDataPacket() methods, calling their super along with loadAdditional(), but neither changed the outcome. Thanks in advance for any replies.
