[solved] Creating custom world type

[Shakreo]

Hey Guys,

 

i'm new to Minecraft Forge Developing and work on my first project.

 

I already created my first custom biome and now i want to create my own world type(?).

I want to choose my custom world type when creating a new world instead of the default or amplified (...) types.

 

I already created my world type, but it doesn't appear at the world creation. I think I have register it, but I don't know how.

 

Do you have any hints for me? Or are there any Tutorials that I didn't found?

 

public class ApocalypseWorldType extends WorldType {

public static final WorldType APOCALYPSE = (new ApocalypseWorldType());

public ApocalypseWorldType()
{
	super("Apocalypse");
}


@Override
    public BiomeProvider getBiomeProvider(World world){
        return new ApocalypseBiomeProvider(world.getWorldInfo());
    }
    
    @Override
    public IChunkGenerator getChunkGenerator(World world, String generatorOptions){
        return new ApocalypseChunkProvider(world, world.getWorldInfo().isMapFeaturesEnabled(), world.getSeed());
    }
[...]
}

The

WorldType

constructor automatically inserts the

WorldType

into the

WorldType.WORLD_TYPES

array (used by the GUI).

 

Are you ever referencing the

ApocalypseWorldType

class anywhere to allow it to be loaded?

Hi,

sorry for my late answer. I had no time to write an answer at this thread while I was at Gamescom this weekend.

And thanks for the information that the WorldType is added at the constructor.

 

Till now I only call the constructor in my custom WorldType class:

public static final WorldType APOCALYPSE = (new ApocalypseWorldType());

But I think this is not what you meant.

 

After your post I made the really dumb try to create an "alias" for my WorldType at my main class.

I know that this isn't a good style, I just wanted to know if it works.

public static final WorldType APOCALYPSE = ApocalypseWorldType.APOCALYPSE;

 

PS: I forgot to mention in my first post, that i am working with the recommended forge version (12.18.1.2011) for minecraft 1.10.2

You should create and store the instance in a separate class in preInit instead of in the class itself.

 

Java doesn't load a class and run its static field initialisers until it's referenced somewhere. With your current code, the instance will never be created and inserted into the array until the

ApocalypseWorldType

class is referenced.

Ok, thanks it works.
