[SOLVED] [1.8] OreDictionary Help

[ThexXTURBOXx]

Hello guys,

I want to register an Item, when the entry "oreCopper" is found in the OreDictionary.

My code:

	public static void registerOreDic() {

	String[] oreNames = OreDictionary.getOreNames();
	for(String ore : oreNames) {
		if(ore == "oreCopper" || ore == "oreCOPPER") {
			//Called in preInit ==> registratonList gets looped and every item registered in it gets registered
			registratonList.add(TEMPORARY = new ItemBulletMusket());
		}
	}
}

The problem is, that I do this in the preInit-method and the other mods don't have their Copper Ore registered, when called. How can I fix this? Can I put this in my init-method or is there a method, which waits for all other mods for having their ores/blocks/items/etc. registered? Or is there something completely different?

Option 1: Wait until post-init

 

Option 2: There's an event fired when something is registered with the OreDictionary, you can set up an event handler for that event and do whatever you need to.

 

Also:

"oreCOPPER" is wrong.  No one should be registering their ores under this string.

Don't create new

Item

instances outside of the initial loading process. Each

Item

should be instantiated and registered once in preInit.

I know, but I saw a mod doing this ^^

Can Events be fired, when Minecraft is still loading?

string1 == string1 -->> false

string1 .equals(string1 ) -->> true

Oh yeah... Could have thought of this

I will try a combination of the event and this

Absolutely. What did you think the FMLPostInitializationEvent was

Sorry, I am silly sometimes -.-

But BTW I can't find an Event which has to do with the OreDictionary. I only find the OreGen-Event, but that's just before the world is shown.

Are there any other methods?

OreDictionary.OreRegisterEvent

is fired when an item is registered with the Ore Dictionary.

Ah there it is ^^ Ok, looked through the event-packages... I will try and tell you if it is working, thank you!

[ThexXTURBOXx]

Thank you all! Got it working ^^ [sOLVED]
