For my mod i made an item to help me with debugging. It currently sends a chat message with the metadata of the block i use it on but it sends this text message twice. Any help as on why. I'm a beginner with modding so it might be that I'm missing something pretty obvious... also i can't post code right now because I'm on mobile.

Ah well that makes sense is there a way around this? Should i do

if(world.isremote ){

...

}

 

Will that fix it?

I'm quite the beginner too, hehe.

I think the person above might've been correct. You might want to redirect the message ONLY to the client, as it might be calling on both server AND client.

From my knowledge, you can try putting this before the method that sends the message:

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) // DO NOT add a ; after this

And, you might want to import these two things at the beginning of your code:

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

 

I hope I help.

NO! DO NOT USE @SideOnly! Use

 

if (world.isRemote) {
// Do things!
}

thanks for the help and and indeed putting it inside of this

if(world.isRemote){
...
}

does work
