[1.9] Brand new modder, looking for some help updating an old mod.

Posted April 2, 20169 yr

There is a mod that I decided to update to 1.9 as a learning exercise to get my feet wet with minecraft modding.

I currently get these errors when I compile:

I've managed to track down most the errors before this, but these all seem to be about changes to the code.

I don't just want someone to tell me the changes I need to make, I'd also like to learn how to figure it out for myself.

Any help is apprciated!

These are mostly classes that have been renamed in recent versions. You can search the issues of this repository for the old class name to find out what it was renamed to. This will work for most classes that were renamed in 1.9, but may not work for earlier versions.

```
AxisAlignedBB#fromBounds
```
was removed when the class's constructor was made public. Use the constructor instead of
```
fromBounds
```
.
Vanilla removed the
```
WorldProvider#dimensionId
```
field and its getter method in 1.9 and replaced them with the
```
DimensionType
```
enum and the
```
WorldProvider#getDimensionType
```
method. Forge re-adds the
```
WorldProvider#dimensionId
```
field, but the getter is now called
```
getDimension
```
instead of
```
getDimensionId
```
.

WorldRenderer

was renamed to

VertexBuffer

, so

Tessellator#getWorldRenderer

was renamed to

Tessellator#getBuffer

MCPBot tells me that the SRG name of
```
StructureStart#getComponents
```
in 1.9 is
```
func_186161_c
```
and it was given the name
```
getComponents
```
two days after Forge's default 1.9 MCP mappings were generated. Either use the SRG name or update your mappings.
```
MinecraftServer.getServer
```
is no longer a static method. There are several methods that you can use to get the
```
MinecraftServer
```
instance now, use IDEA's Find Usages (or Eclipse's equivalent) feature to search for methods with return type
```
MinecraftServer
```
. In particular, you can use
```
World#getMinecraftServer
```
on a server-side
```
World
```
or
```
FMLCommonHandler#getMinecraftServerInstance
```
(prefer using the
```
World
```
method when possible).

ServerConfigurationManager

was renamed to

PlayerList

, so

MinecraftServer#getConfigurationManager

was renamed to

MinecraftServer#getPlayerList

. The

PlayerList#playerEntityList

field is now private, use the

PlayerList#getPlayerList

method to get it.

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.

Why Has the Forge Development Forum Become So Empty?

I agree, and that's why I've enabled the RSS notifications for the forums on my phone. Often times it is difficult to share things on here that can be condensed into a single forum post. As for development, the discussion that happens on GitHub is not for releases but rather for the active development of the feature itself. I'm happy to discuss more things on the forums in the future, but I've been more focused on keeping my head down and getting things working. There's still a lot to do with the toolchain before I can do more things on the forums and the Forge project itself.

I need a mod to help build something similar litematica

Try Structurize or Building Gadgets — they work great on Forge 1.20.1 and are probably the closest alternatives to Litematica.

Why Has the Forge Development Forum Become So Empty?

Yeah, you’re totally right — it’s been noticeably quieter here over the past few years. Most of the modding discussion has definitely shifted to Discord servers and sometimes Reddit, since they offer faster responses and real-time collaboration.
Forums like this used to be the main hub for documentation and troubleshooting, but now people prefer quick chats or sharing snippets on GitHub and Discord. The downside is that a lot of useful info gets buried or lost over time instead of being archived like it was here.
