Questions on @Optional

[Alron]

Hi

I want to use a couple APIs for the mod I'm currently making, so I followed a tutorial (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coolAlias/Forge_Tutorials/master/ModdingWithAPIs.java) on how to use them. Loaded the Buildcraft api in and minecraft runs nicely.

 

Now the problem is that I want the mod to work even without any other mods installed, so I use the @Optional annotations:

@Optional.InterfaceList(value={
	@Optional.Interface(iface="buildcraft.api.power.IPowerReceptor", modid="BuildCraft|Energy", striprefs=true)
})
public class TileEntityPowerReceptor extends TileEntity implements IPowerReceptor{

        //is that gonna work without bc?
public PowerHandler BCPowerHandler = new PowerHandler(this, PowerHandler.Type.MACHINE);

private int power;

public TileEntityPowerReceptor(){

}

@Method(modid="BuildCraft|Energy")
@Override
public PowerReceiver getPowerReceiver(ForgeDirection side) {
	return BCPowerHandler.getPowerReceiver();
}

@Method(modid="BuildCraft|Energy")
@Override
public void doWork(PowerHandler workProvider) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Method(modid="BuildCraft|Energy")
@Override
public World getWorld() {
	return worldObj;
}

public int getPower() {
	return power;
}

public void setPower(int power) {
	this.power = power;
}



}

 

I don't think that will work though since it doesn't know what a PowerHandler object is without BC. Can I strip that as well somehow?

Thanks. Will try to make it work without.
