Hi,

I want to keep track of how much a certain player used an item and then award the player with an achievement. At this moment I don't have any idea where to start.

To better understand what I want, here is an example: I want to keep track of how many apples a player has eaten. After 100 apples I want to give him an achievement.

Any Ideas are welcome.

Use http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/datastorage/capabilities/ to store progress/unlocks and forge Events to make changes.

 

It is probably also possible to utilize vanilla's stats system, but that you would have to study on your own (lookup source).

Thanks,

I will check it out. Skimming the site, it looks pretty complicated but doable (do you have an example?).

Some forge examples:

https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/tree/1.9/src/test/java/net/minecraftforge/test

 

You want:

NoBedSleepingTest.java

and maybe

TestCapabilityMod.java

 

As to events - all over google. Get player that does something (in event), get his capability and edit it to your needs.

Caps need to be saved to player's NBT - that is also included in links I gave.

 

Oh and there is only sightest change between 1.8.9 and 1.9, so don't worry (one of them is event variable getters in 1.9+).

You can see another 1.8.9 example of a capability in my mod: API, implementation

 

There are more examples in the 1.9.4 version: API, implementation

Thanks guys. The examples helped a lot.

Just the first idea that came to mind when thinking of a way to use the capability system.
