Distilling the crux of another, ignored thread:

 

If my mod changes a blockstate on the server (authoritative) thread, then how / when / where does that updated state get transmitted to the client? Is the client expected / trusted to calculate the same state-change at the same time? Is there a packet sent?

 

The problem I'm having is that my custom pressure plate is not rendering the stepped-on state. Oddly, the bounding box changes height, but the rendering remains high, and the state value remains at the default value. Vanilla p-plates receive the "powered" state client-side, but my custom p-plates do not.

 

If curious, see p-plates thread

The debugger is a powerful and necessary tool in any IDE, so learn how to use it. You'll be able to tell us more and get better help here if you investigate your runtime problems in the debugger before posting.

World#setBlockState(BlockPos pos, IBlockState newState, int flags)

will send the change to the client if flag 2 is present (i.e. 

(flags & 2) != 0

). 

World#setBlockState(BlockPos, IBlockState)

calls the other overload with 3 as the 

flags

argument, which means flag 1 (notify neighbours) + flag 2 (send change to client).

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

I've checked your code in the other thread and one thing that I could say is that you should keep getStateFromMeta / getMetaFromState in sync with each other (A set of states give you A metadata value and A metadata value give you A set of states) and have them working only with states that will get saved on world data files.

 

You should handle states that are computed at runtime (like your POWERED state) by overriding getActualState for your block. So in your particular case you should let the base class handle getStateFromMeta / getMetaFromState and inject your POWERED state using getActualState

 

I don't know if you use it elsewere in your code but also keep in mind that world.getBlockState return an IBlockState based on actual data saved in the chunk, ie the ones rappresented by the metadata so if you also need to check for your POWERED state, you should pass the IBlockState returned by getBlockState to your implementation of getActualState (or relay only to the SIGNAL state to compute the POWERED state locally)

      RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY IS THE FUTURE OF BITCOIN RECOVERY AND SECURITY

      By jaysonwilfred12 · Posted

      Reach Out To Rapid Digital: What sapp Info: +1 41 4 80 7 14 85 Email INFO: rap iddi gita lrecov ery @ exe cs. com Hello, my name is Jayson, and I’m 35 years old from the United Kingdom. My family and I recently endured an incredibly challenging experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. We became victims of a cryptocurrency investment fraud scheme that saw us lose a staggering $807,000 in USDT and Bitcoins. The fraudsters had created a convincing facade, and we were lured into investing, only to discover later that the platform was a complete scam. We were left devastated, not just financially, but emotionally, as we had trusted these people and believed in the legitimacy of the investment. After the initial shock wore off, we desperately searched for ways to recover the lost funds. It seemed like an impossible task, and we felt as though there was no hope. That’s when, by sheer luck, we stumbled across a post about Rapid Digital Recovery, a cryptocurrency and funds recovery organization with a proven track record in cybersecurity and fraud recovery. We decided to reach out to them, and from the first interaction, we were impressed with their professionalism and transparency. They explained the recovery process in detail and reassured us that they had the skills and expertise to track down the perpetrators and recover our funds. This gave us a renewed sense of hope, something we hadn’t felt in months. What truly stood out during our experience with Rapid Digital Recovery was their dedication to the recovery process. The team went above and beyond, using sophisticated tracking tools and cyber forensics to gather critical information. Within a matter of weeks, they had successfully located the funds and traced the scam back to the fraudsters responsible. They worked with the authorities to ensure the criminals were held accountable for their actions. To our relief, the team at Rapid Digital Recovery was able to recover every single penny we had lost. The funds were returned in full, and the sense of closure we felt was invaluable. We couldn’t have imagined such a positive outcome in the early stages of our recovery journey, and we are deeply grateful for the work they did. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend contacting Rapid Digital Recovery. Their expertise, transparency, and dedication to their clients make them the go-to choice for anyone seeking to recover lost cryptocurrency or funds. They truly gave us back our financial future.

      [1.21.4] Could not resolve LocalPlayer.sendSystemMessage

      By Cherry05 · Posted

      This is my first time modding anything, so maybe just skill issue. I'm using Forge 54.0.12 and Temurin 21.0.5+11-LTS I wanted to create a custom keybind and to check whether it works I'd like to send a chat message. I tried using Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendSystemMessage(Component.literal("test")); but IntelliJ couldnt resolve sendSystemMessage(...). Since I saw people using it in earlier versions, I tried the same thing with 1.20.6(- 50.1.0), where it works fine, now I can't figure out if this is intentional and whether there are other options for sending chat messages. On that note, is there more documentation than https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/1.21.x/? It seems very incomplete compared to something like the Oracle Java docs
