Hello, I'm new.

 

For my WIP Mod, SnowTech, I need to be able to stop Nether Portals from opening, no matter what tricks the player tries.  I've poked about, but I can't seem to find the code responsible for Nether Portals opening (I tried Fire, Flint+Steel, and Obsidian classes), nor can I seem to find a hook for this.  If you guys know of a way to do this, that would be great.

 

Thanks,

I haven't messed with them yet, but you can try playing around with the new PlaceEvent (or maybe MultiPlaceEvent?).

Should have clarified, this is Forge 1.7.10.  The PlayerInteractEvent (or PlaceEvent with fire) works just fine - as long as the player directly lights the portal.  However, if they were to say, light a block of wood on fire inside a portal frame, it doesn't help much.

Hi

 

The logic for constructing portals is in BlockPortal (in Size, onNeighborBlockChange), initially called from

BlockFire.onBlockAdded

 

I don't think there is a hook, I reckon you will probably need to use ASM + Reflection to modify the BlockPortal code to stop it opening at all.  There are a couple of tutorials on that around, it needs some reasonably advanced Java knowledge to get it to work.

Best reply on any forum so far!  Thanks so much TGG.

Shouldn't overriding Blocks.portal with my own block work?  Like

Blocks.portal = new BlockFakePortal()

Details please?

A'ight, thankee.
