I'm trying to add a custom resource which can be changed by resource packs. I am having trouble accessing this resource. How would I go about this? I really have no idea, at the moment, I'm doing this: 

    public static IResource getResource(ResourceLocation location) throws IOException {
        IResourceManager manager = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getResourceManager();
        List<IResource> resources = manager.getAllResources(location);
        return resources.get(resources.size() - 1);
    }

Which, from what I can tell, should maybe work (but it's not), but I feel like there must be a better way to do this...

 

Any help is appreciated...

I mean, I'm not the greatest with knowledge since I'm still pretty new to Forge modding,  but I'm pretty sure a resource pack can overwrite a resource by default, so long as it follows the same structure as your resource section is set up.

But I tried that and it didn't work...

Did you make sure it was under your Mod ID in the resource pack?

Yes, it was formatted exactly the same as my resources in the .jar (assets/id/whatevs), and those resources are still properly accessed...

Ok, it's a little bit harder than just that.

You need to add your resource Type to Minecraft.

 this.metadataSerializer_.registerMetadataSectionType(new TextureMetadataSectionSerializer(), TextureMetadataSection.class);

thats an example straight from Minecraft.

All this can be found inside the Minecraft class. I will post more as soon as I find a solution as I would also need a function like that.

 

Edit: argh... seems to be the wrong way even though it might work.. have to do a little bit more research on this.

 

Edit 2: 1. I cannot believe how simple it is.
2. You cannot search for a Folder but only for a file.

This is true. Mods' resources can be overwritten by a resource pack.

Ok so after a bit of reasearch, it seems that  "getAllResources" just returns all version of a resource so, if texture pack 1 has this resource and texture pack 2 you will get booth.

So you will still have to search for single resource files.

What do  you mean by this? All of my ResourceLocations are paths to single files.

I have tried using both getAllResources and getResource, neither of which appear to work. Furthermore, getAllResources does not appear to return all versions of the resources, according to my debugging. I will do additional debugging, but this is still unsolved  

public static IResource getResource(ResourceLocation location) throws IOException {
        IResourceManager manager = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getResourceManager();
        IResource res = manager.getResource(location);
        System.out.println(res.getResourceLocation());
        return res;
}

This code is working perfectly for me.

Using following method to call it:

	try {
            getResource(new ResourceLocation(DRPCoreInfo.MODID, "recipes/test.json"));
        } catch (IOException | URISyntaxException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

With Following Folder Structure: assets/modid/recipes/test.json

Yes; your code is indeed correct.

 

The problem was that the program I was using to generate the .zip file (one I wrote myself, actually), was formatting the file in such a way that, although it could be read by the windows zip utility, it couldn't be read by minecraft... 

 

What a convoluted problem... thanks for the help everyone!
