Vanilla blocks with containers only calling displayGui() server side?

Posted March 20, 201510 yr

I always get tripped up on this when creating container blocks...

I'm trying to make a simple mod that is essentially a furnace that doesn't need fuel. So I copied most of the furnace stuff (BlockFurnace, TileEntityFurnace, ContainerFurnace, GuiFurnace, SlotFurnaceOutput).

The thing is that I'm having trouble with the onBlockActivated() method in the block class. If I write it like BlockFurnace (which calls displayGUI() only on server side) nothing shows up. If I call the displayGUI() only on client side, the GUI shows up but acts weird (understandably since server sync gets messed up). If I display gui in both server and client side it seems to work properly.

To explain further, the vanilla BlockFurnace has:

    public boolean onBlockActivated(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumFacing side, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ)
    {
        if (worldIn.isRemote)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);

            if (tileentity instanceof TileEntityFurnace)
            {
                playerIn.displayGUIChest((TileEntityFurnace)tileentity);
            }

            return true;
        }
    }

But I can only get similar code to work if I also call gui to display on client side with something like this:

    @Override
public boolean onBlockActivated(World parWorld, BlockPos parBlockPos, IBlockState parIBlockState, EntityPlayer parPlayer, EnumFacing parSide, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ)
    {
        if (parWorld.isRemote)
        {
        	// DEBUG
        	System.out.println("BlockGrinder onBlockActivated() on client side");
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().displayGuiScreen(new GuiGrinder(parPlayer.inventory, (TileEntityGrinder)parWorld.getTileEntity(parBlockPos)));
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
        	// DEBUG
        	System.out.println("BlockGrinder onBlockActivated() on server side");
            parPlayer.displayGui((TileEntityGrinder)parWorld.getTileEntity(parBlockPos));

            return true;
        }
    }

How does the vanilla furnace get away with only calling display GUI on server side? Is this because the built in Gui classes have packets that sync them to client? Is my approach okay (it seems to work in sense that I can move things around between slots fine and the slot contents are remembered each time I open the gui)?

I'm sure I'm missing something fundamental and always seem to get confused by this whenever I work with guis for containers...

And a IGuiHandler for mod-guis.

Okay, it definitely seemed like there was something missing.

But interesting thing is my way (opening GUI on both sides) seems to work -- the gui displays, I'm able to move things around in the slots, and the contents of the slots is remembered each time I open gui and also remembered across saves. What's the downside?

It's not a good idea opening gui on both side. It may cause synchronization problems.

A better choice is using openGui and making forge do the same thing as vanilla.

How to change player renderer and transform model parts?

I have been trying for a while now to make a custom player renderer, and replace the vanilla player renderer with it. So far I've come up with a custom player renderer class that extends vanilla PlayerRenderer:
package com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer; import com.mojang.blaze3d.vertex.PoseStack; import net.minecraft.client.player.AbstractClientPlayer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.MultiBufferSource; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.player.PlayerRenderer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.EntityRendererProvider; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderPlayerEvent; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; public class PoseablePlayerRenderer extends PlayerRenderer { public PoseablePlayerRenderer(EntityRendererProvider.Context ctx, boolean slim) { super(ctx, slim); System.out.println("here too"); } @Override public void render(AbstractClientPlayer p_117788_, float p_117789_, float p_117790_, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource p_117792_, int p_117793_) { System.out.println("didnt get here lol"); model.leftArm.xRot=(float)Math.toRadians(160); super.render(p_117788_, p_117789_, p_117790_, poseStack, p_117792_, p_117793_); } } As you can see, the intended purpose of this is to raise the player's left arm by 160 degrees. However, combined with this logic in ClientModEvents:
@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { EntityRenderers.register((EntityType<? extends AbstractClientPlayer>)(EntityType<?)EntityType.PLAYER, ctx -> new PoseablePlayerRenderer(ctx, true)); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.MAGNESIS_BLOCK.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.REMOTE_BOMB.get(), ThrownItemRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.CRYONIS_ICE.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.STASIS_BLOCK.get(), FallingBlockRenderer::new); } @SubscribeEvent public static void registerLayerDefinitions(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(new ModelLayerLocation(new ResourceLocation(BOTW.MODID, "paraglider"), "main"), ParagliderLayer::createBodyLayer); } }(I also have a paraglider layer here for something else, it's working perfectly fine, also I used the slim setting because the player is slim in 1.20.1 forge)
This logic isn't replacing the renderer, as far as I can tell. Can someone please advise as to why, and how to fix it?

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

I'm on 1.20.1 and was wondering if there was a way to add a mob I am going to make to a other mod's biome (Regions Unexplored in this case). I am trying to figure this out before I start coding the mod. Could someone point me to a good guide on this? I saw some things about biome modifier's but all the resources are either to short, unhelpful or for a different version. Thanks in advance. (i am a beginner but i have java and modding knowledge so this isn't like a "i am new and don't know anything about coding" problem btw)

Help with file conversion

Many Forge users seek help with file conversions. Similarly, managing your health can benefit from structured tools like the https://wellness-app.com/calculator/fasting-calculator/ and a free intermittent fasting calculator. These tools help you plan and personalize your fasting and eating windows based on your lifestyle and goals. By entering your preferred fasting duration and meal times, you receive a tailored schedule that makes intermittent fasting easier to follow. Just as mastering file conversions improves modding success, using a fasting calculator brings clarity and structure to your health routine, supporting better results over time.

Cobblemon invalid player data

Hi everyone, I keep getting "invalid player data" when trying to log onto my friend's server. Log analysis says to remove Night Lights and ImmediatelyFast, but that doesn't work. Any insight is appreciated

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

I've struggled with this for way too long now, so I have decided to ask for some assistance here because there is almost no information about this online.

I made a hostile mob and I built it like this:
public static final Supplier<EntityType<Bunyip>> BUNYIP = ENTITY_TYPES.register("bunyip" , () -> EntityType.Builder. of(Bunyip::new, MobCategory.MONSTER).sized(3f, 2.5f).eyeHeight(1.75f).build("bunyip"));

However, I have discovered that a BoundingBox of 3 is too big for the vanilla pathfinding to work well. In fact, anything bigger than a block will not work well. This is especially noticeable when having it chase a player in a negative X and/or negative Z direction. The mob starts spinning, walking backwards, walking diagonally, etc.

I am using the Goal system:
protected void registerGoals() { super.registerGoals(); this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new MeleeAttackGoal(this, 1.25, true)); this.targetSelector.addGoal(2, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Player.class, true, true)); }

This does not seem to be a me issue as the ravager, one of the biggest vanilla mobs, also struggles with proper pathfinding. I am a bit familiar with how Minecraft's pathfinding works, but not enough to make a pathfinding system from scratch (or at least not in a reasonable amount of time). Is there any way to fix this with some tweaks or will I have to make a custom pathfinding system?
