Hello,

Please forgive the newbie-ness of this question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. 

I'm brand new to Minecraft modding. 

 

I want to place blocks in an existing world. 

I think I'm supposed to do something like this: 

 

[embed=425,349]

World world = Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld;

world.setBlock(0, 70, 0, Blocks.cactus, 1, 2); //<---java.lang.NullPointerException

[/embed]

 

It seems pretty clear to me that theWorld has not been set to anything yet. 

I think my problem is that I've put this code in my init() method. 

Can anyone tell me where I should put it? 

(Again, I want to place new blocks in an existing world, not a new world). 

 

Much thanks!

 

It probably does not matter, but...

I'm using Forge 1.7.10. 

 

Also, here is the whole code: 

 

[embed=425,349]

package com.example.examplemod;

 

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;

import net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;

 

@Mod(modid = ExampleMod.MODID, version = ExampleMod.VERSION)

public class ExampleMod

{

    public static final String MODID = "examplemod";

    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

   

    @EventHandler

    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)

    {

        World world = Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld;

        world.setBlock(0, 70, 0, Blocks.cactus, 1, 2); //<---java.lang.NullPointerException

    }

}

[/embed]

You need an Event Listener for a World getting loaded.

Try it like this:

 

ExampleMod Class:

@EventHandler

public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){

    MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new WorldEventListener());

}

 

WorldEventListener Class:

@SubscribeEvent

public void worldLoaded(WorldEvent.Load event){

    event.world.setBlock(0, 70, 0, Blocks.cactus, 1, 2);

    // every time a world gets loaded this method is gonna get called

}

The TileEntitys are Going to kill us all and take over the entire (Minecraft) world!

@BinaryCPG:  THANK YOU!!!  That worked perfectly!  Do you know of a book that teaches those kinds of nuts and bolts? 

 

@Anon10W1z:  Thanks for your reply.  What you said makes perfect sense. 

 

To answer your question:  Basically I was just trying to create a building (house, ship, whatever) from code so that I could force it to appear in any of my existing worlds exactly where I tell it too, without having to rebuild it manually in the game.    Now I can  :-)

    • The problem occurs also in 1.20.1 Forge, but with an "Error executing task on client" instead. I have "Sinytra Connector" installed. On 1.21.5 Fabric, there is no problem. When this happens, the chat message before the death screen appears gets sent, with an extra dash added.
    • Well, as usual, it was user error. Naming mismatch in sounds.json.  Please delete this post if you find it necessary. 
    • Hello Forge community.  I'm running into an issue with a mod I'm working on.  To preface, I can call /playsound modId:name music @a and I can hear the sound I registered being played in game. Great!  However, I cannot get it to trigger via my mod code.    Registration: public static final RegistryObject<SoundEvent> A_WORLD_OF_MADNESS = SOUND_EVENTS.register("a_world_of_madness", () -> new SoundEvent(new ResourceLocation("tetheredsouls", "a_world_of_madness")));   Playback: Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getInstance(); if (!(mc.player instanceof LocalPlayer) || mc.level == null) return; LocalPlayer player = (LocalPlayer) mc.player; BlockPos pos = player.blockPosition(); SoundEvent track = ModSounds.A_WORLD_OF_MADNESS.get(); System.out.println(track); System.out.println(pos); System.out.println(player); // play exactly like the tutorial: client-only, at the player's position try { mc.level.playLocalSound( player.getX(), player.getY(), player.getZ(), track, SoundSource.MUSIC, // Or MASTER if needed 1f, 1f, false ); System.out.println("[DEBUG] playSound success: " + track.getLocation()); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("[ERROR] Failed to play sound: " + track.getLocation()); e.printStackTrace(); } Sounds.json:   { "theme_of_laura": { "category": "music", "sounds": [ { "name": "tetheredsouls:a_world_of_madness", "stream": true } ] } } Things I have tried: - multiple .ogg files. Short .ogg files (5 seconds, <100KB).  - default minecraft sounds imported from import net.minecraft.sounds.SoundEvents; These work given my code. No idea why these are different.  - playSound() method, as well as several others in past iterations that did not work   I would be forever grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction. I've looked at several mod github repositories and found extremely similar code to what I'm doing. I've also found several threads in this forum that did not solve my issue. I just cannot figure out what I'm doing differently, and why I'm able to queue sounds manually with playsound but the code won't play it (despite confirming the code is being run with the debug statements.)
