Hello all I decided it was time to update my mod from 1.8 to 1.9, and since it's pretty small that was not so hard. I just have an issue with the armor textures not loading, but that's for another time.

My main problem is that the mod does not work on servers. In-game, it seems like the server doesn't load it, because all my items/blocks can be obtained through the creative tabs, but they are not usable. Meaning blocks that are placed disappear immediately, and blocks destroyed with, for example, my custom pickaxe just disappear visually, but I cannot walk through them after that, and a relog shows they are still there, while also all the mod-related items disappear from the hotbar.

 

As I said, it worked perfectly on 1.8 servers, so there must be a change that I don't know about. The server console throws no error or even warnings.

 

The weirdest thing is that if I start the server inside Eclipse, and then connect to it from outside eclipse, everything works.

I presume it's hard to help with this little concrete information, so I liked my github; maybe someone has the kindness and time to take a look at my code. I will gladly provide any more details if needed.

 

Thanks in advance

I briefly skimmed through your code and couldn't see any obvious errors. I suggest you post the FML log from the server and client using Gist.

 

I did notice a few things that could be improved:

 

Instead of checking the event's side in your

@EventHandler

methods to do client-only things, use the

@SidedProxy

system.

 

Instead of using the deprecated

GameRegistry.registerItem

method, use the new

GameRegistry.register

method. It's recommended that you use the single-argument overload of this method and set the registry name of the object you're registering (e.g. an

Item

) with

IForgeRegistryEntry#setRegistryName

(or one of the overloads from

IForgeRegistryEntry.Impl

) before registering it.

 

Instead of registering models with

ItemModelMesher#register

in init, use

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

/

setCustomMeshDefinition

in preInit. The default model loaded for every

Item

is the one with its registry name (

IForgeRegistryEntry#getRegistryName

), so you should use this rather than creating your own

name

field and

getName

methods.

You should really move the rendering stuff to a client proxy.

I am so sorry for wasting your time... It did not work because I did not start the right .jar file. Since there are 2, and I'm usually playing with friends on a hosted server, where there is only one .jar file, I wasn't sure which one, and I never tried the other one. Now I did, and averything works fine.

 

Thanks anyway for the code improvements, I'm in the process of doing that.

 

And sorry again...
