Hey guys,

I have a block with a TileEntityXY and a TileEntitySpecialRenderer, when the block is added i get the TileEntity with world.getTileEntity and cast it to TileEntityXY then set a boolean of TileEntityXY to true, in the method 

public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity entity, double x, double y, double z, float f) {

of my TileEntitySpecialRenderer

i cast the entity again to TileEntityXY and get the boolean. and boom its false?

I don't get what I'm doin wrong.. Am I missunderstanding how casting variables work? (And no, i cant use the metadata)

Well I dont know im just testing around, basically I want to render my block different depending on 8 booleans stored in the tileEntity, how else would I go on doing that? I'm kind of stuck..

Sounds like you didn't use

 

@Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World world, int meta) { return new TileEntityXY(); }

 

in your block class. Casting the TileEntity in the constructor won't make it a TileEntityXY. So it never saves your boolean.

I read it as

 

I have a block with a TileEntityXY and a TileEntitySpecialRenderer, when the onBlockPlaced is called, i get the TileEntity with world.getTileEntity and cast it to TileEntityXY then set a boolean of TileEntityXY to true.

 

Then, in the method 

public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity entity, double x, double y, double z, float f) {

of my TileEntitySpecialRenderer

i cast the entity again to TileEntityXY and get the boolean. and boom its false?

GetDescriptionPacket is what packet gets sent when the tile entity needs to update data (I know it gets sent on world load, I'm not sure when else). onDataPacket is what happens when the packet gets received.

Check out my mod, Realms of Chaos, here.

When I do that package sending every time I render my block, isnt that going to slow down the performance?

cause the block is actually going to connect visually to other blocks, just in more possible ways than I could use the metadata for, So would it be a better idea I just check for the blocks around in my render method?

Im not [glow=black,2,300]really [/glow]looking for performance, I'm just scared of gettin lags :P

So whats the best solution for me?

How am I going to use the getDescriptionPacket and onDataPacket?

Sry but I don't really understand what that should do.. I came up with that code

    public Packet getDescriptionPacket()
    {
    	NBTTagCompound nbt = new NBTTagCompound();
	for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
		nbt.setBoolean("connections" + i, connections[i]);
	}	
        return new S35PacketUpdateTileEntity(var1, var2, var3, var4, nbt);
    }

what are the other parameters for the S35PacketUpdateTileEntity?

what do I have to do in the onDataPacket

and how is that goin to help me getting the booleans in my Renderer class?

Uhhm Im not that sure anymore if I need that package thing, I tried it with checking for the same blocks to be around in my Renderer class, placed around 100 of my blocks into the world and i still have 60 fps (as always) and no spikes or anything, what do you think, is that a bad programming technique?

 

 

 

  public void renderModel(float f5,World world, int x, int y, int z) {

  Shape1.render(f5);

  if(world.getBlock(x-1, y, z) == FMItems.tableBlock){

  if(world.getBlock(x, y, z-1) == FMItems.tableBlock){

  if(world.getBlock(x-1, y, z-1) == FMItems.tableBlock){

 

  Type13.render(f5);

  } else {

 

  Type231.render(f5);

      [1.20.1] Is there a way to change block height to more than 1 or 2?

      By KaxelDreamhack · Posted

      I want to create block with entity, that will have height of 3 or more(configurable) and I tried to change first VoxelShape by increasing collision box on height I want and for changing block height on visual side i tried to configure BlockModelBuilder:  base.element() .from(0, 0, 0) .to(16f, 48f, 16f) .face(Direction.UP).texture("#top").end() .face(Direction.DOWN).texture("#bottom").end() .face(Direction.NORTH).texture("#side").end() .face(Direction.SOUTH).texture("#side").end() .face(Direction.WEST).texture("#side").end() .face(Direction.EAST).texture("#side").end() .end(); but, getting crash with next error: Position y out of range, must be within [-16, 32]. Found: %d [48.0]; Looks like game wont to block height modified by more than 32. Is there any way to fix that problem?

      Best way to sync datapack info to client? [1.18.2]

      By Jonathing · Posted

      As long as the packets you are sending aren't lost, there's nothing wrong with what you're currently doing. Although, this sounds like something that would benefit from you making your own datapack registry instead of trying to arbitrarily sync static maps. Check out `DataPackRegistryEvent.NewRegistry`.

      Best way to sync datapack info to client? [1.18.2]

      By JayZX535 · Posted

      Hey all, I've been working a lot with datapacks lately, and I'm wondering what the most efficient way to get said data from server to client is.  I'm currently using packets, but given that a lot of the data I'm storing involves maps along the lines of Map<ResourceLocation, CustomDataType>, it can easily start to get messy if I need to transmit a lot of that data all at once. Recently I started looking into the ReloadableServerResources class, which is where Minecraft stores its built-ins.  I see you can access it via the server from the server's resources.managers, and it seems like this can be done even from the client to appropriately retrieve data from the server, unless I'm misunderstanding.  However, from what I can tell, this only works via built-in methods such as getRecipeManager() or getLootTables(), etc.  These are all SimpleJsonResourceReloadListeners, just like my datapack entries are, so it seems like it could be possible for me to access my datapack entries similarly?  But I don't see anywhere in ReloadableServerResources that stores loaded modded entries, so either I'm looking in the wrong place or it doesn't seem to be a thing. Are packets really the best way of doing this, or am I missing a method that would let me use ReloadableServerResources or something similar?

      New to minecraft modding and try to understand what can I do with forge

      By MagicWheel · Posted

      Hi, everyone! I'm new to minecraft modding stuff and want ask you some questions. 1. I checked forge references and saw there com.mojang and net.minecraft (not net.minecraftforge) and as I understand it's original game packages with all minecraft logic inside including renderers and so on, right? 2. Does it mean that forge has a limited set of instruments which doesn't cover all the aspects of the game? If make my question more specific then does forge provide such instruments that allow me totally change minecraft itself, like base mechanics and etc.? Or I have to use "original game packages" to implement such things? 3. I actively learning basic concepts with forge documentation and tutorials. So in my plans make different inventory system like in diabloids. Is that possible with forge? 4. It is last question related to the second one. So how deeply I can change minecraft with forge? I guess all my questions above because of that I haven't globally understanding what forge is and how it works inside and how it works with minecraft. It would be great if you provide some links or topics about it or explain it by yourself but I guess it's to big to be explained in that post at once. Anyway, thank you all for any help!

      [1.20.1]How to create specific model block without injecting custom models?

      By KaxelDreamhack · Posted

      Im trying add to block a hole in center, just a usual block and in center of it on up side, there is should be a hole. I tried to add it via BlockModelBuilder, but its not working. Problem is that it only can change block size outside. I tried it to do with VoxelShape and its working, but its has been on server side and looks like its just changed collision shape, but for client, there is a texture covering this hole. I tried to use: base.renderType("cutout"); and removed some pixels from texture. I thought its should work, but game optimization makes block inside looks transparent. So, only custom model?
