Hello guys. I have a problem with access transformer.

I need to make a private field "Set trackedEntities = new HashSet();" public, so according to http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Using_Access_Transformers i added to my gradle build file:

jar {

        manifest {

        attributes 'FMLAT': 'test_at.cfg'

    }

}

and created test_at.cfg at src/main/resources/META-INF.

After that i did gradle clean and gradle setupDecompWorckspace, but in IDE my field remained private. What have i done wrong?

My test_at.cfg:

#Test access tranformer config file

# EntityTracker

public net.minecraft.entity.EntityTracker field_72793_b  # trackedEntities

 

I need to modify this field. Reflection is a bit expensive method, and i want to learn how to use access transformer in case of increasing my expirience. There is lack of information about AT, so i will be glad for help with this issue.

Reflection in Java is actually not that expensive, this is the official Oracle tutorial on Reflection, and is a good place to start.

 

Unless you are accessing the field every single frame, or every single tick, you don't need to use an access transformer and reflection will work fine.

We can hide entities on the server side by manipulation with trackedEntities and trackedEntitiesIDs.

It will be private mode, so compatibility is the last thing i'm care about.

What is the reason of haiting AT? I know, that i can use reflection, but i'm interesting in using AT.

Wow nobody answered the original question >.<

 

You probably forgot to do "gradlew eclipse" which updates the code eclipse sees.

Duuuuude, thank u very much, it helps! Now my fields are public :3

I think people hate AT because they just dont know how to use it in the right way. Anyway, we'll see

Thank you again

Reflection's

setAccessible(true);

would have done that too.

If u need to call some field not one time and even not two times, its better just once change your _at config and not to clog code with reflection.
