I was wondering if there is a way to play a video in minecraft. I will have a trailer for my mod and I would like to play it when someone clicks a key (I have a key binding already). Is this possible?

Sure.

 

Umm... Let me guess, you don't know how though? :)

Found via "how to play a video in Java" in google.  Left as an exercise to the reader on how to combine that code with a Minecraft gui render handler.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

It is important to remember that Minecraft and Forge are in Java, so pretty much anything that is possible in Java is possible in a mod.  So don't restrict your google searches to Minecraft topics, but look for Java explanations.

 

However, regarding video in mods I would suggest you consider other alternatives, since the video can make the file big and it may be a lot of work to get it working correctly.  Why do you want video?  If it is for cut-scenes, I'd say that doing more of an animation (series of still images) is a lot easier to code.  If you want the video to provide help, maybe just link to a YouTube video instead.  But if you really need in-game video for your mod, start by figuring out generally how to do it in Java.

Ok, I'll try. But, ya, I was just thinking that maybe I could use a video, but I just realized, the video I want to use is still images, with music in the background (more or less). I might be able to just play around with java and get something working. :) thanks for the help everyone.

      Anybody know how to make tiered block and items? Back then it was much easier. Read for more info

      By Azarsra · Posted

      Back then there was a number which determined the tier of an item and block. If the block tier is lower or equal to the item number, the block would be mined. this however, has changed and now it goes by "needs_netherite_tool" which is fine, until you realized that some mods had items and blocks that exceeded these values. You can make you own "needs_mod_tool" but I feel that this is more limiting(and just more work) than before. So is there anyway to use something similar to the old tier system while also still being compatible with a lot of other mod tools?

      My server only crashes with the Ticking entity error

      Well, when I log in to the server, sometimes within an hour, sometimes within a minute, the server closes and informs me that there was a Ticking entity error. Below is the crash report

      screen recording problems

      By sailed · Posted

      Try switching to Windowed or Borderless Window mode in Minecraft. These modes make it easier for the recorder to capture gameplay, as it still has access to the display without the game taking up all of the graphics resources.

      Forge 55.0 Minecraft 1.21.5

      By Jonathing · Posted

      Forge version: 55.0.0 Minecraft version: 1.21.5 Downloads: As this is the start of a new version, it is recommended that you check the downloads page and use the latest version to receive any bug fixes. Downloads page Intro: Good evening! Today, we have released our initial build of Forge 55.0 for Minecraft 1.21.5. 1.21.5 is the newest member of the 1.21 family of versions, which was released yesterday on March 25, 2025. As a reminder, the first minor (X.0) of a Forge version is a beta. Forge betas are marked as such on the bottom left of the title screen and are candidates for any breaking changes. Additionally, there are a couple of important things to note about this update, which I've made sure to mention in this post as well. Feel free to chat with us about bugs or these implementation changes on GitHub and in our Discord server. As always, we will continue to keep all versions of 1.21 and 1.20 in active support as covered by our tiered support policy. Cheers, happy modding, and good luck porting! Rendering Refactor For those who tuned in to Minecraft Live on March 22, 2025, you may already know that Mojang have announced their intention to bring their new Vibrant Visuals overhaul to Java in the future. They've taken the first steps toward this by refactoring how rendering pipelines and render types are handled internally. This has, in turn, made many of Forge's rendering APIs that have existed for years obsolete, as they (for the most part) can be done directly in vanilla. If there was a rendering API that was provided by Forge which you believe should be re-implemented, we're happy to discuss on GitHub through an issue or a pull request. Deprecation of weapon-like ToolActions In 1.21.5, Minecraft added new data components for defining the characteristics of weapons in data. This includes attack speed, block tags which define efficient blocks, and more. As such, we will begin marking our ToolActions solution for this as deprecated. ToolActions were originally added to address the problem of creating modded tools that needed to perform the same actions as vanilla tools. There are still a few tool actions that will continue to be used, such as the shears tool action for example. There are some existing Forge tool actions that are currently obsolete and have no effect given the way the new data components are implemented. We will continue to work on these deprecations and invite you to chat with us on GitHub or Discord if you have any questions.
