Is there a way, with Forge, to detect which mods are installed? I'd like to try to make a mod that detects if the client has Optifine installed and decide based on that whether to use HD textures or not.

 

Something along the lines of:

//psuedocode
public String getTextureFile() {
   if (client has Optifine) {
      return "hdterrain.png";
   } else {
      return "terrain.png";
   }
}

Well, first, Lex is gonna flip at the mention of optifine.

Second, I think there's a method like <MainFMLClassthing>.isModLoaded(...) or something.

 

Well, first, Lex is gonna flip at the mention of optifine.

Why would I do that? Optifine is the good one, MCPatcher is the shit one.

But yes, FML detects optifine and sticks a fake mod container in there so people can detect it as a mod.

So, am I looking in the wrong class/method?

 

I have this in my block class:

 

 

@Override
public String getTextureFile() {
    for (int i = 0; i < Loader.instance().getModList().size(); i++) {
        System.out.println(Loader.instance().getModList().get(i).getName());
    }

    if (Loader.isModLoaded("optifine")) {
        return "/com/drin/mods/gfx/hdterrain.png";
    } else {
        return "/com/drin/mods/gfx/terrain.png";
    }
}

 

 

 

And I am getting this stack trace:

But I know I have Optifine installed (and working), as shown here:

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, I know I'm a few builds behind on Forge

 

What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind. I found it. FMLClientHandler.instance().hasOptifine() lol

Well, first, Lex is gonna flip at the mention of optifine.

Oh.

I get the two mixed up sometimes, and I wans't really awake...

Anyway, that's a pretty easy way to detect mods.
