[1.7.10] @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) Not use it anymore?

[American2050 11]

I can't remember where but I think I read that @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) shouldn't be used anymore.

 

My question is, wherever I have things like this:

	@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister)
{
itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(this.getUnlocalizedName().indexOf(".") + 1));
}

 

I should modify them like

 

	if(!world.isRemote)
	{
		itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(this.getUnlocalizedName().indexOf(".") + 1));
	}

 

But what happens when I don't have "world" available to use, like in this case?

EDIT: thats the general answer for it. but there are things that are already client only, like icons, so keep using things like vanilla did

Thanks going to read it

Hopefully that clarifies my confusion

I am pretty sure you cant have 2 annotations with the @SideOnly, you  dont need the overide. Maybe put the override below the @sideonly for some strange reason. This happens to me too. Trust me, it still works in 1.8

You can use as many annotations as you want. You should always use

@Override

when overriding a method and

@SideOnly

when overriding a method with

@SideOnly
