Hi, I'm trying to create a custom potion effect. I've looked at several tutorials, however all of the ones that I have found are outdated and/or don't make sense to me. I was hoping someone could provide me with a link to an updated tutorial or quickly run down how to do it.

Thanks!  :D

Extend the Potion class. Done.

 

What a well thought out reply that did not help in the slightest! What next? "Hey guys I need help making this mod work does anyone have any tips?" "Write code."

 

Next time try actually helping the person asking

Right... I had gotten that far, however I somehow doubt that

public class PotionTest extends Potion
{
    public PotionTest(int par1, boolean par2, int par3)
    {
        super(par1, par2, par3);
    }

    public Potion setIconIndex(int par1, int par2)
    {
        super.setIconIndex(par1, par2);
        return this;
    }
}

is all I need. How would I go about actually using the effect?

Thank you very much, I will take a look at this. As you probably get tired of hearing, I am new to modding. You are very obviously not new to any of this. What may be completely obvious and self-explanatory to you, is a very new and complicated world for me.

I've been programming for about 3 years now, albeit rather sporadically across that time frame. I'm quite a slow learner and I take time build a great understanding like you have. I guess for someone like me, this:

 

public void affectEntity(EntityLivingBase p_76402_1_, EntityLivingBase p_76402_2_, int p_76402_3_, double p_76402_4_)
    {
        int j;

        if ((this.id != heal.id || p_76402_2_.isEntityUndead()) && (this.id != harm.id || !p_76402_2_.isEntityUndead()))
        {
            if (this.id == harm.id && !p_76402_2_.isEntityUndead() || this.id == heal.id && p_76402_2_.isEntityUndead())
            {
                j = (int)(p_76402_4_ * (double)(6 << p_76402_3_) + 0.5D);

                if (p_76402_1_ == null)
                {
                    p_76402_2_.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.magic, (float)j);
                }
                else
                {
                    p_76402_2_.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeIndirectMagicDamage(p_76402_2_, p_76402_1_), (float)j);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            j = (int)(p_76402_4_ * (double)(4 << p_76402_3_) + 0.5D);
            p_76402_2_.heal((float)j);
        }
    }

 

is a bit hard to read at a quick glance. :P

This is definitely not the best solution, if you want your potion to be available via the vanilla brewing-stand or if you want to have a nice icon for your effect in the inventory you should just ignore this post!

 

 

 

My personal opinion: potions are even harder to understand than dimensions:

 

potions require a lot of code in your main class = confusing

potions need a picture index for the icon, eveywhere else you can use 16x16 files

you have to use reflection for the recipe  (Notetomyself: create a potion recipe without help. sounds like fun.)

and and and...

 

To be honest, i gave up after 2 minutes and decided to write my own PotionClass:

 

This is actually just a potionitem combined with a standart item. DON'T COPY PASTE IT! REMOVE THE APPLE STUFF FIRST! :P

	this.setMaxStackSize(maxStackSize);
	this.setCreativeTab(DimensionShiftInfectus.tabDimensionShiftInfectus);
	this.setUnlocalizedName(name);
	this.potion = potion;
	this.color=color;
}

@Override

	return EnumAction.drink;
}

@Override

	if (!world.isRemote) {

			}
		}
	}

	if (!player.capabilities.isCreativeMode) {
		if (itemStack.stackSize <= 0) {
			return new ItemStack(Items.glass_bottle);

		player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(new ItemStack(Items.glass_bottle));
	}

	return itemStack;

    {

            player.setItemInUse(itemStack, this.getMaxItemUseDuration(itemStack));
            return itemStack;

    }

@Override

public boolean requiresMultipleRenderPasses() {
	return true;
}

@Override

	if (pass == 0) {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

	} else {

	}

}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IIconRegister iconregister) {

	this.itemIcon = Items.apple.getIconFromDamage(0);//used for debugging? not sure anymore...
	if (ItemPotion.func_94589_d("bottle_drinkable") != null && ItemPotion.func_94589_d("overlay") != null) {
		this.iconBottle = ItemPotion.func_94589_d("bottle_drinkable");
		this.iconOverlay = ItemPotion.func_94589_d("overlay");
	}

}

}

 

 

 

I only needed this item as a crafting resource so I added a few vanilla effects and never really tried something more advanced with it.

But if you want to create your own effects you have a problem(at least as much as i know) since all effects are connected with potions.

I would simply use nbt data instead, but this way your effect won't be shown in the inventory.

 

You should also add your own brewing stand(just extend the vanilla one) its way simpler than having to use reflection if you are relatively new to java.

    • Yep I did upgrade just because it showed me a new version available.  I'll redownload the mod list and make sure anything works.  Thanks!
    • The latest log was taken down by pastebin for some reason. Did you try removing the mods you added? The mods you updated, was there a specific reason you updated, or just because? It's possible the updates introduced incompatibilitie, or even need a newer build of forge. If you didn't need the updates for a specific reason, you could also try downgrading those mods.
