I am just doing some research and i have not found an answer to my problem through tutorials or posts on any modding community.

I am not even born into the modding of mine craft, as i am sudo coding what i want to do.

I have taken a look at modding custom mob ai and my finding are very vague.

 

I am looking for a way to have a custom mob/npc to interact with a chest or anything i can provide it. And i am concerned that based on my findings there is no specific api for this, and yet mods like computer craft and thaumcraft have turtles and golems interact with storage all the time.

My assumption though is that the interact command for player can be also used with custom mobs.

Please explain me the basic concept for this issue, i do not need a step by by step instructions, all though if there are tutorial related to this i would gladly take a look.

As I said this is a sudo-research before i get my hands dirty.

ps. i am aiming to create a mob that is like a turtle from computer craft that will return to a chest once it has done gathering/harvesting a full mob inventory. also that will use another storage as a fuel source in my case food source

You would need to create a FakePlayer for things that require a EntityPlayer, and for Chests and other inventories you would have to access those via the TE in the world.

What do you mean by TE, and i did some research on fake player, is it just one entity to be responsible for the mod entity actions?

 

as well as i had an idea, would it be better if items where swapped between inventory if an entity was present adjasent to a container item/tile

You can interact with inventories using the IItemHandler capability on a Block's TileEntity. You can read more about capabilities here.

 

And no, you don't need a fake player or other entity next to the inventories for them to work.

Well, you'd still call TileEntity#hasCapability/TileEntity#getCapability the same way, you'd just have to get the TileEntity to interact in a different way, which is probably just the Block in front of the Entity.

Ok I just realized, how would all this be applied with Entity AI, adding tasks and all?

You would just do all of the functionality in the Entities AI.

 

I would like to clarify something, when I said you will need a FakePlayer I meant for if you want to break a block and have it's affects like that of a EntityPlayer doing it.

Oh, slightly more confused.

I am simply trying to find a way to have mobEntity to be able to interact with an inventory object, whether is directly like a player with a chest to insert or withdraw items, or by special code maybe through an event that will alter the mobEntety inventory and object inventory.

As I am looking through mobEntity ai, tasks are limited to a point direct interaction is not possible, unless Capabilities can alter the behaviour that allows that.

Entity AI tasks have access to the Entity they're acting on.

Entities have a World object and a Position.

World object + Position -> Get block, tile entity, and capabilities.

      Forge 54.1.1 Missing Textures please help

      By xLorkin · Posted

      Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.

      New Website for Quick & Easy Minecraft Info

      By MinecraftSearch · Posted

      Hello fellow Minecrafters! I recently returned to Minecraft and realized I needed a wiki that displays basic information easily and had great user navigation. That’s why I decided to build: MinecraftSearch — a site by a Minecraft fan, for Minecraft fans. Key Features So Far Straight-to-the-Point Info: No extra fluff; just the essentials on items, mobs, recipes, loot and more. Clean & Intuitive Layout: Easy navigation so you spend less time scrolling and more time playing. Optimized Search: Search for anything—items, mobs, blocks—and get results instantly. What I’m Thinking of Adding More data/information: Catch chances for fishing rod, traveling villager trades, biomes info and a lot more. The website is still under development and need a lot more data added. Community Contributions: Potential for user-uploaded tips for items/mobs/blocks in the future. Feature Requests Welcome: Your ideas could shape how the wiki evolves! You can see my roadmap at the About page https://minecraftsearch.com/about I’d love for you to check out MinecraftSearch and see if it helps you find the info you need faster. Feedback is crucial—I want to develop this further based on what the community needs most, so please let me know what you think. Thanks, and happy crafting!

      Speedup forge startup?

      By Paint_Ninja · Posted

      That's just plain wrong... newer versions are much better optimised and start a lot faster than 1.8.9, both Forge and Minecraft itself. Comparing Fabric 1.21 with Forge 1.8 is like comparing apples and oranges... one's brand new and the other's over a decade old.
