Okay, I think the next step would be to intercept what the client code regarding names.  Name format is funny because it isn't really cancelable anyway but instead you just change the field value to what you want.  Like for a funny example in my event tutorial I suggested putting the following in the NameEvent to change the way names are displayed:

if (event.username == "myUserName") // put your user name in the string
{
    event.displayname = event.username+" the Great and Powerful";
}        
else if (event.username == "myFriendsUserName") // put your friend's user name in the string
{
    event.displayname = event.username+" the Wise";
}    
else if (event.username == "myGirlFriendsUserName") // put your significant other's user name in the string
{
    event.displayname = event.username+" the Beautiful";
}    
else
{
    event.displayname = event.username+" the Ugly"; // for everyone else            
}

 

The comments say the following about the NameFormat event:

 

  Quote
This event is fired whenever a player's name is retrieved in

    * EntityPlayer#getDisplayName() or EntityPlayer#refreshDisplayName().<br>

    * <br>

    * This event is fired via the {@link ForgeEventFactory#getPlayerDisplayName(EntityPlayer, String)}.<br>

    * <br>

 

If you follow the call hierarchy, all of this just updates a field in EntityPlayer called displayName.  It is private, but you can change it with Java reflection I think.

 

So what if you did a ClientTickHandler and used Java reflection to inspect and modify (if necessary) the displayName field?

 

I think this would still be limited to Client, so if you want other users to see the effect they'd have to use the mod too probably.

 

If that doesn't work, I think you'd have to try to intercept the chat and the player rendering where they display names.

 

Just intercepting it in chat would be a last rescue thing. Since I want the displayname to change everywhere, scoreboards, tab, etc etc. Anyway, If there is no other we I guess I'll have to modify everything seperately.

 

The thing is, this forge modding is already hard for me and I only have some basic java knowledge.

And I really have no idea how to do the reflection part. There are tutorials on the tickhandler but I can't find a suitable one for reflection. I mean, there surely are some but none seem to be giving me this information. Maybe you can link me to a good one?

So I adventured down through the minecraft code all the way down.

I eventually ended up in minecrafts EntityPlayer class.

Anyway, how can I know which field is which? Since minecraft even decompiled has fields like this "field_151432_d". I can't access a field if I don't know which one to access.

This is my code for modifying it for now, obviously won't work for above reason.

 

    @Subscribe
    public void everyTick(TickEvent everyTick){

        EntityPlayer privateObject = new EntityPlayer("The Private Value") {
        };

        Field displayNameField = EntityPlayer.class.
                getDeclaredField(displayName);

        displayNameField.setAccessible(true);

        String fieldValue = (String) privateStringField.get(privateObject);
    }

 

 

EDIT:

I had BedrockMiner try to accomplish this, but unfortunately it is impossible to modify for some reason. I am going to start a new thread concering this issue in specific, anyway thanks for all the help I got with proxies. Now I understand a proxy is pretty much useless for me since the mod will only be installed on one side.

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.  
    • Crashes the server when trying to start. Error code -1. Log
