Hello! I am currently trying to make a client side mod (my signature), and I am trying to use "onClientTick", but I am not really sure how it works. Could somebody explain to me what it does?

 

This is my current code:

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@SubscribeEvent
public void onClientTick(ClientTickEvent event) {
final Minecraft minecraft = FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient();
final WorldClient world = minecraft.theWorld;
final EntityPlayerSP player = minecraft.thePlayer;

System.out.println("Client Event");
}

 

"Client Event" is not being printed out into console at all, so is it even doing anything?

 

Edit: I am reading an outdated wiki, and it says something like registering the event.. How do I do that?

Hmm? ClientTickEvent already gives you the EntityPlayer (and through it, the world as EntityPlayer#worldObj)

Minecraft is already Client-Side, so simply use "Minecraft minecraft = Minecraft.getMinecraft()".

 

Try this instead:

@SubscribeEvent
public void onClientTick(TickEvent.PlayerTickEvent event){
	final Minecraft minecraft = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
	final EntityPlayer player = event.player;
	final World world = player.worldObj;
}

 

Also, have you registered the event-handler to any bus? If it's not registered, it's not going to do anything.

 

To get the biome, as this topic is about, you need to get the player's position, then use world#getBiomeForCoordsBody(BlockPos)

 

 

Alright. How do I register the event? (Sorry for all the noobish stuff  )

 

Edit: Figured out how to register it!

To register an event, you need to register it to a bus. You should use the basic EVENT_BUS here.

Create a private final instance of your EventHandler class. For example, using my eventhandler from one of my mods, called UnderworldMapEventHandler.class,

I would use

private final UnderworldMapEventHandler ANY_NAME_YOU_LIKE = new UnderworldMapEventHandler();

Then in your proxy, register it simply with:

MinecraftForge.EVENTBUS.register(ANY_NAME_YOU_LIKE);

(For those you who sees the issue with event->bus here, don't worry, my own eventhandler uses the TERRAIN_GEN_BUS)
