Hi. I would like to know how to make custom events. I know in bukkit you had to extend Event and then call the event wherever you wanted. Is this the same with forge?

You extend

Event

and post it to the bus. Which bus is up to you, but at least pick one that makes sense. Don't put an update event on the ore gen bus,  for example.

Ok thanks. And when the event is supposed to happen, how do I call it?

Oooohhh, I thought that was how you register the event.

Event ev = new MyCustomEvent();

theEventBus.post(ev);

 

Where theEventBus is a reference to an event bus (as there are several), eg. MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(ev), and you can even write your own if you feel the need, it's basically just a priority-sorted list of the listener functions which are called in order when

post()

is executed.
