Hi all,

I have to draw in a Gui the name of a dimension having only the dimensionId.

On the server i just do DimensionManager.getWorld(dimensionId).provider.getDimensionName(), but if I call it from the client it will obviously crash the client.

So, anyone know a method to get the provider(or directly the name) of a dimension having the dimensionID?

I know, but I need only the Name of the dimension. I'm quite sure that is saved somewhere in the client, i would like to know where..

 

The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is to send a packet from the server to the client with all dimension name and is respective dimensionId when the world loads.

There is only one World on the client, as diesieben said.

 

So you can just use Minecraft#theWorld.provider.getDimensionName().

Read carefully. In my gui, that the player can be open from any dimension I have many dimensionId. If one of the dimensionIds is -1(while the player is in the overworld) I have to print Nether, not Overworld.

You need to use packets. I would send a packet to the server with the dimensionId, on the server, use

WorldServer.getServer().worldServers[dimensionId].provider.getDimensionName()

to get the name, and then send a new packet back as a reply containing the name.

You don't necessarily need packets. When your GUI is opened the first time create a Map<Integer, String> that maps dimensionId to Dimension name. Then loop through DimensionManager.getStaticDimensionIDs, which gives you all registered dimensions. For each Dimension create a temporary WorldProvider with DimensionManager.createProviderFor(dimension) and get the name from that.

You only need to do this once, when your Gui is opened a 2nd time you can re-use the cached Map.

THAT is what I was looking for. Thank you!
