Capability issue

Posted March 17, 20178 yr

Hi, I am working with Minecraft 1.11.2 and I am having a problem with the capability system. There is the "AttachCapabilitiesEvent" but my problem is if my mod is installed AFTER a world is generated, I cannot attach ANY capabilities!(My mod REALLY needs this one)

Thank you for your time

What are you trying to attach a capability to?
You can't install a mod while the game is running which means that the event should work just fine.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

When I am in my development environment and I run my mod, it has a capability check which determines if it can run.

My mod attaches capabilities to the player(specifically them "magic user" capability) and the mod fails without it.

What? Your mod attaches capabilities, but if your mod capability isn't already there then your mod doesn't run...? Post your code to explain what is happening.

if (!player.hasCapability(MagicUserProvider.USER_CAP, null)) throw new IllegalArgumentException("player object must have capability")

Will capabilities automatically be created?(In which case this code is completely pointless )

No, capabilities are not created automatically. What exactly are you trying to do?

You need to manually attach the Capability to the intended object, as well as register the Capability.

To attach a Capability to an Entity (like a player) you need to use an @Mod.EventBusSubscriber annotated eventhandler for the AttachCapabilitiesEvent<Entity> event.

To register the Capability, call CapabilityManager::register with the Interface class, an IStorage object for the Capability, and lastly a Factory for said Capability (Most just call a new instance of the Capability with lambda).

It would be easiest for everyone if you posted your code, and state what you have tried already.

Ok, I did not realize that capabilities were attached automatically.

THey arnt, as stated above you need to do so in the AttachCapabilityEvent.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

I mean when a new mod is added all entities will get a run through of the AttatchCapabilitiesEvent?

Quote

Every time time the entity class is loaded it will fire the event.

It doesnt care if mods are added or not.

Has nothing to do with the world being old or new.

Its whenever the instance of the class is created in the JVM.

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
