[1.7.10] Getting an instance of the World

[Xcox123]

Hey, simple question. How do I get an instance 9f the world when I do not have it in my method params(not sure what they're called, but the "public void method(method params){"

[Xcox123]

renderTileEntityAt extending TileEntitySpecialRenderer. And I'm not sure specifically what world. I know that it has IBlockAccess built into it(thats what I need access to). I'd assume the main world, the one you have as World world in your method params.

Thanks! And thanks for clearing up the multiple world things

I think you will find IBlockAccess is the the world

the available methods it has might be enough for what you want

if not you might be able to cast it to World to access more methods

 

if you dont know how to find out what class an object is

System.out.println(obj.getClass().getSimpleName());

Yeah thats why I wanted the world...

In one of my mods, I needed the same thing in a place called from a method that had a world parameter that it was not kind enough to pass along to me. What I did was trace that method's call chain back to where a static world was being passed in, and I imitated the static reference (I was fortunate that it was public). Amazingly it worked

I happen to be in that mod today, so I can show you what I used:

 

   

WorldClient wc = FMLClientHandler.instance ().getWorldClient ();

 

It traces back to Minecraft.theWorld. This is in a @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) class, so YMMV.

FYI last time I checked:

 

Server side you can access the worlds from

MinecraftServer.getServer().worldServerForDimension or DimensionManager.getWorld()

 

Client side you can access the world from

Minecraft.theworld

 

See here for an overview of what it looked like in 1.6.4; probably it is still almost the same...

Wow!  You've got some time on your hands.  Good stuff though!  I'm going to study these when I'm not so tired.
