Events in different forge packages

[arungupta]

I see there are three packages in Forge 1.7.10 that have events:

 

• cpw.mods.fml.common.event
  
• net.minecraft.event
  
• net.minecraftforge.event
  

 

Can anybody explain the purpose of which to use when ?

See my tutorial on events: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-172-event-handling.html

 

Note that a couple events are fired on the "wrong" bus -- meaning not the one you'd think based on the package.  I've listed those cases that I'm aware of.

 

One simple trick to tell which bus an event is fired on is to follow the "call hierarchy" for the event.  Eclipse will show you where it was used and that will include the bus posts.
