Is it possible to access another mod and execute a function of that mod from within a forge mod.

For example I am creating a mod and would like to paste a worldedit schematic, can I access the worldedit mod, load the schematic and paste it where I would like?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Yes as long as the mod has a publicly accessible API.

 

Before you start trying to use WorldEdit's API I suggest you find out if it even has one and then figure out if it's possible to and how to do what you want to accomplish with the API.

Don't make mods if you don't know Java.

sk89q (world edit creator) said that there is a public api. I'm just not sure what the process would be to get it set up in my eclipse environment. Do I add the worldedit jar into the mods folder of my mod? Do i need the source?

I've never used WE for forge, but if there is an API - it should be compiled for developers.

 

In your eclipse - simply go to project props and link new library - your API.

Launching game will also launch this API (since it's dependency lib) - so no, don't place it in /mods/.

 

Compiled API are just .classes - you will also need API source to be linked to API's library - go to libsa and attach source (.zip file), source for API should be shipped with API.

Idk, each author has own ways.

1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
