[1.10.2] Forge Energy Capability in Item class

[Tomson124]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to implement ForgeEnergy as a second energy system in addtion to RF (and later also TELSA). I want to implement it in an item class wich extends the ItemArmor class. The page on ReadTheDocs about capabilities only describes it for TEs and ItemStacks... I am completly new to the capability system so I have absolutly no plan what to do.

Maybe someone can explain it to me in a few sentences and can even provide an example.

If it helps, the class I am talking about is this one: https://github.com/CyberdyneCC/SimplyJetpacks-2/blob/TomsonDev/src/main/java/tonius/simplyjetpacks/item/rewrite/ItemFluxpack.java

Item capabilities are handled differently to Entity/TileEntity capabilities because Items are singletons, i.e. there's only one instance per item type.

 

Instead of Item implementing ICapabilityProvider directly, it has a method (Item#initCapabilities) that creates and returns a separate ICapabilityProvider instance. ItemStack (which implements ICapabilityProvider) calls this method from its constructors and stores the returned ICapabilityProvider, using it in its own implementation of the interface.

 

You can see some examples of items with capabilities here, here, here, here and here.

 

These all use one of two ICapabilityProvider implementations: CapabilityProviderSimple (only implements ICapabilityProvider, doesn't save/load capability data) and CapabilityProviderSerializable (implements both ICapabilityProvider and INBTSerialializable so it saves/loads capability data).

Thank you.

If I am right, I don't have to make my own ICapabilityProviders if I just use the default implementation from ForgeEnergy, right? Or do I need to do the exchange between ForgeEnergy and RF in the CapabilityProvider Implementation?

The ICapabilityProvider is responsible for storing the IEnergyStorage instance and providing it to external code. The IEnergyStorage implementation should be a completely separate class that stores the energy value and allows interaction with it through the IEnergyStorage methods.

 

You will need to create your own ICapabilityProvider implementation, Forge doesn't provide a stand-alone implementation for your use-case. The only implementations apart from vanilla classes are CapabilityDispatcher, which is designed to wrap multiple ICapabilityProviders into one; and FluidHandlerItemStack, FluidHandlerItemStackSimple and FluidBucketWrapper, which implement IFluidHandlerItem in various ways.

 

If you want the RF IEnergyContainerItem and Forge IEnergyStorage interfaces to interact with the same energy value, you'll need to implement that yourself. There are two ways to do this:

• Keep the current IEnergyContainerItem implementation and create an IEnergyStorage implementation that delegates to it
• Use the default IEnergyStorage implementation (EnergyStorage) and change the IEnergyContainerItem implementation to delegate to it

[Tomson124]

So to sum this up, I have to create my own CapabilityProvider which is then used in initCapabilities and I have to make a custom implementation of IEnergyStorage (like EnergyStorage) which also includes interaction with IEngeryContainerItem. But how do I tell the ForgeEnergy Capability that it has to use my custom IEnergyStorage implementation instead of the default one?

Your ICapabilityProvider class should store an instance of this custom IEnergyStorage implementation and return it from ICapabilityProvider#getCapability when the Capability argument is CapabilityEnergy.ENERGY. This is what allows other mods to access your IEnergyStorage instance.

 

You can either create the IEnergyStorage instance in the ICapabilityProvider or create it in the Item#initCapabilities override and pass it to the ICapabilityProvider's constructor.

So I think I got it right, at least I did so until I ran into the first errors

The RF API requires you to implement IEnergyContainerItem on an Item, it doesn't support capabilities.

 

Why does EnergyConversionStorage have an IEnergyStorage field?

 

If you're delegating the IEnergyStorage methods to the IEnergyContainerItem methods, EnergyConversionStorage should only implement IEnergyStorage without extending EnergyStorage. It should have an ItemStack field so it can call the IEnergyContainerItem methods on the Item.

The field was just a remaing piece of code from an earlier attempt...

 

I now changed the EnergyConversionStorage like you said:

package tonius.simplyjetpacks.capability;

import cofh.api.energy.IEnergyContainerItem;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.energy.IEnergyStorage;

public class EnergyConversionStorage implements IEnergyStorage {

	public ItemStack itemStack;

	public IEnergyContainerItem itemRF;

	public EnergyConversionStorage(IEnergyContainerItem itemRF, ItemStack itemStack) {
		this.itemStack = itemStack;
		this.itemRF = itemRF;
	}

	@Override
	public int receiveEnergy(int maxReceive, boolean simulate) {
		return itemRF.receiveEnergy(itemStack, maxReceive, simulate);
	}

	@Override
	public int extractEnergy(int maxExtract, boolean simulate) {
		return itemRF.extractEnergy(itemStack, maxExtract, simulate);
	}

	@Override
	public int getEnergyStored() {
		return itemRF.getEnergyStored(itemStack);
	}

	@Override
	public int getMaxEnergyStored() {
		return itemRF.getMaxEnergyStored(itemStack);
	}

	@Override
	public boolean canExtract() {
		return true;
	}

	@Override
	public boolean canReceive() {
		return true;
	}
}

 

And I adjusted the initCapabilities accordingly:

@Override
public ICapabilityProvider initCapabilities(ItemStack stack, NBTTagCompound nbt) {
	return new CapabilityProviderEnergy<>(new EnergyConversionStorage(this, stack), CapabilityEnergy.ENERGY, null);
}

But when I start minecraft, or more specifically when I load a world it crashes with the error:

The IStorage for the energy capability (used by Capability#readNBT) can only desrialise from NBT into an instance of EnergyStorage. This is a general rule for most capabilities: The IStorage is only guaranteed to work with the capability's default implementation. If you're using a custom implementation, you'll need to read from/write to NBT yourself (or use that implementation's methods if it implements INBTSerializable).

 

Since your IEnergyStorage implementation isn't actually storing the energy value itself, the ICapabilityProvider doesn't need to implement INBTSerializable (or ICapabilitySerializable, which is simply a combination of the two interfaces).

Thanks Now it works... kind of...

I did the Forge Energy implementation because EnderIO items can only be charged by Forge Energy or TESLA, even after the implementation my fluxpacks don't charge EnderIO items I don't know why... Is there a way to check if a capability is loaded correctly?

 

And I assume that I still can use the "normal" IEnergyContainerItem methods for energy usage, as I delegated them to the Capability in my EnergyConversionStorage

You've exposed the IEnergyStorage capability on your own item, which allows other mods to insert/extract energy from it; but are you accessing the IEnergyStorage capability on the items you're trying to charge?

Yes, they'll still work.

I assume that I don't do that, as I did no changes to the Item classe except overriding the initCapabilities... I thought I access the IEnergyStorage through the IEnergyContainerItem methods as they are delegated to the ForgeEnergy Capability, but probably I am understanding something wrong here.

How would I access the IEnergyStorage then? By using the ForgeEnergy methods? If so, how would I use them? just returning the IEnergyContainerITem method or calculating it again?

All you've done is expose your own item's energy storage through the Forge Energy API, with an IEnergyStorage that calls the IEnergyContainerItem methods. This doesn't affect the energy stored in other items.

 

When you charge another item, you'll need to get its IEnergyStorage through the ItemStack's ICapabilityProvider methods and use IEnergyStorage#receiveEnergy to add energy to it. If it doesn't have one, check if it's an instance of IEnergyContainerItem and use the corresponding method to add energy to it. If it doesn't implement IEnergyContainerItem,

 

To simplify your code, you may want to create a method to get an IEnergyStorage from an ItemStack that does what I said above but returns an instance of EnergyConversionStorage if the item doesn't have an IEnergyStorage and implements IEnergyContainerItem. This way you can use IEnergyStorage#receiveEnergy regardless of which API the item supports.

 

You can use either API to extract energy from the Flux Pack (since you know they both use the same value).

Thank you so much it is working now

I wrote a small method which returns the IEnergyStorage of the item which should be charged:

public IEnergyStorage getIEnergyStorage(ItemStack chargeItem) {

		if (chargeItem.hasCapability(CapabilityEnergy.ENERGY, null)) {
			return chargeItem.getCapability(CapabilityEnergy.ENERGY, null);
		}
		else if (chargeItem.getItem() instanceof IEnergyContainerItem) {
			return new EnergyConversionStorage((IEnergyContainerItem) chargeItem.getItem(), chargeItem);
		}

		return null;
}

I am reffering to that method when charging the Items, and it works perfectly fine. Just have to see if it also works with Items that do not implement ForgeEnergy, as I am not sure about that part:

else if (chargeItem.getItem() instanceof IEnergyContainerItem) {
	return new EnergyConversionStorage((IEnergyContainerItem) chargeItem.getItem(), chargeItem);
}

But thank you a lot, I now also have a much better knowledge of Capabilites, too. Thank you for your patience with me ^^
