Ok so I do not want to give to much a bout my new mod because some one copied my last mod idea. I want user to be able to take screen shot and then in java it will get crop and compressed (it only going be shown in minecraft so it does not not be best quailty), any one once place click the crop button the image get sent to the server with a date/time stamp, I do not know if packets are the right or if they work for what I want if so could tell me or another way that would grate. When the server receives it will cache it with the data/time stamp and send it out all other users. When a player joins the file name and time stamp with be compared between server and client, if they do not match the server will send the newest one to the client. Is there any way to all any of this with forge or will have to whole file send and receiver class to my mod?   

 

Edit - I was thinking (do not know if this possible) I could make an event that is triggered when the use clicks the button which seen the image, the time stamp and their user as event info, do not know how that works between server and client though.

 

My forge knowledge is very limited help me improve it.

I think packets are the way to go. In vanilla the server can send an entire resource pack to the client via S48PacketResourcePackSend.

 

Edit: that example is no good, but the server still sends entire chunks to the client

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

Thanks know I just need to learn how packet works. I have serialize the image first right.

Yup, you want to use packets:

As to other - I wouldn't directly sync "screenshots" as in vanilla ones. KeyBinding that does same as vanilla screenshot, but also sends it. KeyBindingEvent or KeyboardEvent might be useful (I don't remember).

 

Anyway - you need to know this:

* Packets from server to client will get split into partial packets if data is too big.

* Packets from client to server WILL NOT. You will have to handle splitting on your own if you need bigger than standard size (which I don't think you will).

* Also this: http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/thread-safety-with-network-messages.html

* And for some of those request based system you might wanna use PlayerLoggedInEvent or one of FMLNetworkEvent (e.g client connection).

1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.

Depends on how your packet is set up. If you have a single value that is too large, which you might for a serialized image, it won't split up the packet and will throw errors.

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.  
    • Crashes the server when trying to start. Error code -1. Log
