What is World worldIn? What must I pass into it?

[JamesWilsonProductions]

Just a basic question here. I have been following modding tutorials, and I have been passing values into worldIn in various methods.

 

For example, I've passed this value in:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld

as one.

 

My question is, what are all the different things I can pass into this, and what do they mean? =)

Changed 'parse' to 'pass'

Well, you can pass in every instance of one of the subclasses of World.

verb

verb: parse; 3rd person present: parses; past tense: parsed; past participle: parsed; gerund or present participle: parsing

1. 1.

   analyze into its parts and describe

 

You want the word "pass."

Oh, oops, my mistake. So.. after a year or so, I thought the act of putting a variable into a method was called 'parsing'. Right... so passing it in =) Thanks for correcting me on this, can't believe it's never been corrected after all this time.

And, if the method you're overriding contains a World param, it is best to use that instead...

Best to use which one instead?

No, what is best is to understand what's going on and pass in the World that you want to pass in, based on what you want to happen.

Do you have any sources that can explain what must happen in server and what must happen in client, and which world param to use based on that. I'm still confused about the difference between them. =)

Well yeah sorry, if you want, for example, something to happen in the world your block is in, you want to use world param inside of the method...

Depends on what you do, so, what do you want to happen?

Oh my goodness, I never knew this forge documentation existed! Thanks for sending me the link. This should keep me occupied for awhile. Hopefully by the end of tonight, I will be able to distinguish when to use what.
