Unsure if this belongs here but *shrug*

 

I have a few questions/confusion about mcmod.info and can't find any recent documentation on these particular things.

 

I know that the purpose of it is to provide metadata on a particular mod entry, but specific questions are:

 

1) Why do we even have it when we can just specify all of these in our main class @Mod annotation? Is it just to make things easier for FML and Modders?

 

2) What's the significance of having two version fields? The one in the mcmod.info metadata appears as the first version string in the "Mods" menu, whereas the one in the @Mod annotation appears after it in parenthesis. I'm *guessing* the former is designed to be numerical, whereas the later is a string representation (e.g. "Release", or "Alpha", etc.) but I want to be sure. Personally I'd like to only use one, but if I leave the @Mod one empty then it leaves the () there and it just looks dodgy. EDIT: Oh and then *thirdly* we have version property in build.gradle too... but I realized that this is only what's used in the jar filename.

 

3) Lastly, why are "version" and "mcversion" fields in the metadata formatted as variables by default, but don't even work?

 

These might seem like pedantic questions, but the reason I ask is because I'm working on a script that automatically manages Mod versioning and builds changelogs based on Git commit messages, and other things of the sort.

 

Thanks.

1) Launchers, web sites, anything not written in java, or anything that doesnt want to execute abritrary code to get your info.

2) They should be identical. Unless you're derping something up.

3) The replacement should be in the default build.gradle shipped with the source, if you change it then you need to change the info file.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

      Game freezes then crashes upon entering server after i used a far-away waystone. (BMC4)

      By Cledd · Posted

      log: https://mclo.gs/QJg3wYX as stated in the title, my game freezes upon loading into the server after i used a far-away waystone in it. The modpack i'm using is better minecraft V18. Issue only comes up in this specific server, singleplayer and other servers are A-okay. i've already experimented with removing possible culprits like modernfix and various others to no effect. i've also attempted a full reinstall of the modpack profile. Issue occurs shortly after the 'cancel' button dissapears on the 'loading world' section of the loading screen.   thanks in advance.

      Model and textures rendered on entity and RenderLevelStageEvent not visible when using shaders

      By Blatopebas · Posted

      Hi, this is my second post with the same content as no one answered this and it's been a long time since I made the last post, I want to make a client-only mod, everything is ok, but when I use shaders, none of the textures rendered in RenderLevelStageEvent nor the crow entity model are rendered, I want them to be visible, because it's a horror themed mod I've already tried it with different shaders, but it didn't work with any of them and I really want to add support for shaders Here is how i render the crow model in the CrowEntityRenderer<CrowEntity>, by the time i use this method, i know is not the right method but i don't think this is the cause of the problem, the renderType i'm using is entityCutout @Override public void render(CrowEntity p_entity, float entityYaw, float partialTick, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource bufferSource, int packedLight) { super.render(p_entity, entityYaw, partialTick, poseStack, bufferSource, packedLight); ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow.renderToBuffer(poseStack, bufferSource.getBuffer(ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow .renderType(TEXTURE)), packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, Utils.rgb(255, 255, 255)); } Here renderLevelStage @Override public void renderWorld(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { horrorEvents.draw(e); } Here is how i render every event public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { for (HorrorEvent event : currentHorrorEvents) { event.tick(e.getPartialTick()); event.draw(e); } } Here is how i render the crow model on the event @Override public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { if(e.getStage() == RenderLevelStageEvent.Stage.AFTER_ENTITIES) { float arcProgress = getArcProgress(0.25f); int alpha = (int) Mth.lerp(arcProgress, 0, 255); int packedLight = LevelRenderer.getLightColor(Minecraft.getInstance().level, blockPos); VertexConsumer builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(crow); Crow<CreepyBirdHorrorEvent> model = ClientEventHandler .getClient().crow; model.setupAnim(this); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(eyes); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, 15728880, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); } } How i render the model public static void renderModelInWorld(Model model, Vector3f pos, Vector3f offset, Camera camera, PoseStack matrix, VertexConsumer builder, int light, int overlay, int alpha) { matrix.pushPose(); Vec3 cameraPos = camera.getPosition(); double finalX = pos.x - cameraPos.x + offset.x; double finalY = pos.y - cameraPos.y + offset.y; double finalZ = pos.z - cameraPos.z + offset.z; matrix.pushPose(); matrix.translate(finalX, finalY, finalZ); matrix.mulPose(Axis.XP.rotationDegrees(180f)); model.renderToBuffer(matrix, builder, light, overlay, Utils .rgba(255, 255, 255, alpha)); matrix.popPose(); matrix.popPose(); } Thanks in advance
