Adding items "late" into the game

[DrPiggy]

Hey, i wanted to know, if there is anyway of adding items after the actual loading finishes maybe when you join a server etc etc.

Item registering can only be done at startup. So it isn't possible to register them when a client connects to a server.

 

You may be able to make a custom recipe which only works when you are connected to a server, but that may not be what you want.

well, i have an item that it's config allows you to choose a texture from a list, and that texture is chosen on the server that you are joining, so i thought i could register the item with the specific texture when i join the texture, if not, is there a way to just change the texture of an item when you join a server?

By choosing the texture what kind of texture can you choose ?

If it's only color modification, you can look into layers to recolor your item, if it's more complex, I'm guessing a IBakedModel type will have to come into play, but I can't help you with the model part

You may be able to send that config data from the server to the client, and then make a custom TextureAtlasSprite to use. Take a look at how the clock does its dynamic textures.

Or you can use server texture packs like you should and be done with it
