Item that increases plant growth?

[gmod622]

Hey all!

 

So I was wondering how would you have ticks go faster on a plant when you right click it with an item.

I know the basis, but I have no clue on how to 'fast forward' ticks.

[Draco18s]

Well, bonemeal outright increases the plant's AGE state.

If you want to force-tick it, you'll want world.scheduleBlockUpdateTick()

But that'll only make it tick once, which may not make it grow at all.

[Matryoshika]

As Draco just pointed out, you can bone-meal it.

 

You cannot however really "fast forward" ticks

However, for example,

BlockStem

(Melons & Pumpkins) has a method called

updateTick

which you can call, to make it, shockingly enough, tick again. Coupled with it's own scheduled tick, it in effect, ticked twice. Once by you, once by itself. You need to find the equivalent classes for saplings etc.

[gmod622]

Well taken from example:

 

the Watering can, however, I want it so that right clicking the plant (Only CROPS) will constantly tick it, until it hits stage 7(the max stage).

I dont want the item to be like bone meal, just flat right increasing the stage, I want it to increase how fast it will grow.

 

Maybe I could use the bonemeal for reference, but instead of using it multiple times, just use it once and slowly increas the stage?

However, I cannot seem to find the bonemeal class?

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

BoneMeal is a dye, believe it or not...

 

Have a look in

ItemDye#applyBonemeal()

Im by no means an expert but I noticed the way plants grow is they have random ticking enabled  and every random tick they calculate a growth chance and if growth chance is favourable they grow to next stage. Bonemeal works similarly  except it calculates a growth chance every time you use it.

 

Check the crop block to see how bonemeal or crops grow. 

 

Easiest way to simulate something like a watering can is to apply a bonemeal effect on the crops you are aiming at with the watering can at a certain regular interval as long as the watering can is being used ie hold right click and slowly damage the watering can (ie remove water from it)

[trollworkout]

You wanna look at BlockCrops class

 

updateTick  (every random tick..is not fixed but can be like 5 10 seconds maybe)

this function uses getGrowthChance to calculate a chance

if chance is good and less than certain percentage then grow

 

getBonemealAgeIncrease

this function sets the age increase per bonemeal use

 

getGrowthChance

this function  seems to check for nearby blocks if they can sustain plant life  and calculates a chance

 

grow

this function physically changes the look of the crop when the plant has jus grown

 

i don't fully understand the chances you need to study them on paper to understand but i think mc wiki will probably explain better the growing chances

[gmod622]

So how would I get what I'm right clicking on, and to check if its a plant or not?

 

I have somewhat of an idea on how to update the ticks more often.

 

EDIT:

Maybe I could create some new soil? I just found some source code with how to update ticks of a block. Maybe I could look into that?

You get the object you are aiming at and check if is instaceof BlockCrop  or instance of BlockBush something like that  then you just do a bonemeal like effect on it  or whatver idea you got.

 

to get the block is actually already provited for you there's a function called onItemUsed in Item class. You need to figure out how to use that. It has some variables that you can use to get the block you're aiming at but I think you can only point at things you can reach so not too far.

[Draco18s]

Don't check against BlockCrop or of BlockBush.  Check against IGrowable.  Its the interface that all bonemeal-able blocks implement somewhere in their higherarchy.

[gmod622]

Just got finished creating the block, how would I go about texturing it?

.json and where to put the files:

 

here are some classes that could help:

Also, how could I make it so when I right click on a peice of dirt > into a peice of fertile soil?

 

[Draco18s]

Sooo...first off...neither CROP_ROCKCRESS nor FERTILESOIL appear to have a registry name set (it is definitely missing for FERTILESOIL, as it is in neither the constructor nor the register function).  This is bad.

 

VERY VERY BAD.

 

Until you fix that, I cannot help you with models.

[gmod622]

Added, So what does the Registry Name even do in comparison to unlocalized name?

 

EDIT:

I'm going to create a new project and redo my entire mod. Everything is just jumbled and inefficient. Will repost when done.

Thanks for the help so far.

[Draco18s]

Added, So what does the Registry Name even do in comparison to unlocalized name?

 

This:

Item myItem = new Item();
myItem.setRegistryName("my_cool_item");
System.out.println(myItem.getRegistryName());

Will print:

mymodid:my_cool_item

 

Basically, it takes whatever string you input and prepends your mod ID so that Minecraft can locate all assets related to your item: blockstate files, model files, etc.

 

It's also good practice to set your items' unlocalized name to the registry name:

myItem.setUnlocalizedName(myItem.getRegistryName());

So that the unlocalized name contains your mod ID and prevents language translation collisions between mods (e.g. two mods using the same unlocalized name for unrelated items).

[gmod622]

Thanks!!

After this rewrite will add this to everything!

[Draco18s]

Also, if you do any tooltip stuff, or other text-on-screen that you translate, good practice to put your modID in those too.

 

e.g. from one of my items:

	@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void addInformation(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer playerIn, List<String> tooltip, boolean advanced) {
	tooltip.add("+10 "+I18n.format("description.harderfarming:damagebonus"));
    }

Draco is on point    his advice  about iGrowable is in fact better than what I suggested in fact i'm gonna do the same . thanks!
