In 1.710, I had this nifty piece of code that could pull the ModId from an item. In 1.10.2, GameRegistry has changed, and with it, it seems, is the path to get ModId. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

 

I use the modid for various purposes.

 

1.7.10 code that worked:

public static String getModId(Item item) {
GameRegistry.UniqueIdentifier id = GameRegistry.findUniqueIdentifierFor(item);
return id == null || id.modId.equals("") ? "minecraft" : id.modId;
}

public static String getModId(ItemStack key) {
return getModId(key.getItem());
}

 

 

Wait, so do you not know your ModID? When you make your mom, one of the first steps is making YOUR OWN ModID. You set it early on.

 

There are several ways to do this too.

my personal favorite, is

@Mod(modid = Reference.MOD_ID);

 

Refernece is another class, where i did

	public static final String MOD_ID = "tmm";

No, I know my own ModId, ha ha

 

I'm talking about getting the ModId from another mod's item. The code above provides that in 1.7.10. I'm looking for a way to do it in 1.10.2

I have not yet seen a way to get -only- the modid, but as you have an item, you can get the registryname which contains it, then split the string with the regex ":". Hacky way, but should be do-able.

 

 

Yes, that will work. I'm used to parsing these strings by now, so I am ok with the 'hackiness'. Thanks for the suggestion.

The registry name is a

ResourceLocation

, the domain of which (

ResourceLocation#getResourceDomain

) is the mod ID. You don't need to resort to string parsing.

Thanks Choonster!
