[1.8] Syncing Gui Client and Server

Posted March 15, 20169 yr

I'm trying to make a tile entity that when one presses a button on it, it will make an item. Whenever I try to take the item or click it for that matter, it disappears. Also, I've been reading on how the "server" in Minecraft should handle everything to prevent hacking. I'm not sure if I'm doing that right and I was hoping for some help on resolving this issue with the items disappearing and just being sure that hacking won't happen with my mod. Thanks to anyone that helps.

In your Gui class there are 2 outputs created if you click button one. Is there any Server output in the Log ? If no (and it should be so) then every thing only happens at the client. And if you click on an Item in a Gui and it disappear this is because the Server never had this Item. So you need to use packet handling if something like click at this button to start the progress should happen. (Mouse clicks are only client)

catch(Exception e)
{

}

Yay, Pokémon exception handling, gotta catch 'em all (and then do nothing with 'em).

There hasn't been any now that you mention it.

I've been trying to use the writeToNBT and readFromNBT methods from the TileEntity class. Is that wrong? Should I be using the custom forge packets or something like that?

Thanks for the help.

you will need to use IMessage and IMessageHandler to send information between the server and client, although you can still use the nbt methods of the class to create and read your message contents.

Okay, I'll look into using the IMessage and IMessageHandler. Thanks for the help.

This tutorial project has a working example of synchronising gui and containers between client and server, which you might find useful

also an example of messages

Minecraft crashes when trying to start singleplayer/create new world.

Thanks for the help! Removing lithostiched (& by proxy Tectonic) as well as Supplementaries did the trick!

Minecraft crashes when trying to start singleplayer/create new world.

I've been trying to get an old modpack of mine working again (MC version 1.20.1, Forge version 47.4.8) & I finally got it to just load into the homescreen. Unfortunately, now its crashing whenever I try to start Singleplayer, specifically when its trying into the Create a New World screen. I've attached the latest Crash Report, though if that alone isn't enough I can also attach the Log in a comment. If anyone can help me figure out what's causing the issue I'd really appreciate it.
