Hi. I'm creating mods that with access transformers but it doesn't work (doesn't change modifier from private to public). Here is my build.gradle file:

 

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:2.2-SNAPSHOT'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.forge'
//Only edit below this line, the above code adds and enables the necessary things for Forge to be setup.


version = "1.11-1.0.0"
group = "vn.lethinh.hptweaks" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = "hptweaks"

sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = "1.8" // Need this here so eclipse task generates correctly.
compileJava {
    sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = "1.8"
}

minecraft {
    version = "1.11-13.19.1.2199"
runDir = "run"
    
    // the mappings can be changed at any time, and must be in the following format.
    // snapshot_YYYYMMDD   snapshot are built nightly.
    // stable_#            stables are built at the discretion of the MCP team.
    // Use non-default mappings at your own risk. they may not always work.
    // simply re-run your setup task after changing the mappings to update your workspace.
    mappings = "snapshot_20161220"
    // makeObfSourceJar = false // an Srg named sources jar is made by default. uncomment this to disable.
useDepAts = true
}

dependencies {
    // you may put jars on which you depend on in ./libs
    // or you may define them like so..
    //compile "some.group:artifact:version:classifier"
    //compile "some.group:artifact:version"
      
    // real examples
    //compile 'com.mod-buildcraft:buildcraft:6.0.8:dev'  // adds buildcraft to the dev env
    //compile 'com.googlecode.efficient-java-matrix-library:ejml:0.24' // adds ejml to the dev env

    // the 'provided' configuration is for optional dependencies that exist at compile-time but might not at runtime.
    //provided 'com.mod-buildcraft:buildcraft:6.0.8:dev'

    // the deobf configurations:  'deobfCompile' and 'deobfProvided' are the same as the normal compile and provided,
    // except that these dependencies get remapped to your current MCP mappings
    //deobfCompile 'com.mod-buildcraft:buildcraft:6.0.8:dev'
    //deobfProvided 'com.mod-buildcraft:buildcraft:6.0.8:dev'

}

processResources {
    // this will ensure that this task is redone when the versions change.
    inputs.property "version", project.version
    inputs.property "mcversion", project.minecraft.version

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        include 'mcmod.info'
                
        // replace version and mcversion
        expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version
    }
        
    // copy everything else except the mcmod.info
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        exclude 'mcmod.info'
    }

rename '(.+_at.cfg)', 'META-INF/$1'
}

jar {
    manifest {
    attributes 'FMLAT': 'hptweaks_at.cfg'
}
}

    }
}

}

idea { module { inheritOutputDirs = true } }

 

My hptweaks_at.cfg file:

My hptweaks_at.cfg file is in src/main/resources. Does anyone know to fix this?

Do not make core mods.

You do not need Access Transformers: use reflection.

But reflection can make my code ugly, and is slightly slower.

Not if you do it right.

Get the field or method once and save a reference to it.  The rest is pretty darn fast.

How can I do the reflection? By the way, I see the mod author use the access transformer more than the reflection.

the mod author

 

"the mod author"? What mod?

If you mean Forge, then yes, Forge is allowed to do it because it's making things public for modders.  It's part of Forge's patches.

 

Anyway, this is good reflection:

1) https://github.com/Draco18s/HarderStuff/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/wildlife/WildlifeEventHandler.java#L136

2) https://github.com/Draco18s/HarderStuff/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/wildlife/WildlifeBase.java#L330-L331

3) https://github.com/Draco18s/HarderStuff/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/wildlife/WildlifeEventHandler.java#L1149

 

Mind, it could be better (I can't find any of my reflection stuff in 1.10 right now).  But that should give you an idea.

1) Declare a field

2) Set it to something, and do that once.*

3) Use it a lot

 

*This is where I could do better.  I have it set to look for the SRG name, then in the error handling look for the MCP name.  I could instead use ReflectionHelper. ReflectionHelper will do a lot for you, it's a great class.

Nevermine. I fixed the problem. My file name was wrong: hptweaks-at.cfg but actually is hptweaks_at.cfg. But anyway, thank you for your help.
