[1.12] How to use ByteBufUtils#readRegistryEvent

[That_Martin_Guy]

I need to play a sound on the client from a server called method, so I thought of using a custom made packet. I found a method in ByteBufUtils called readRegistryEvent, and since SoundEvent implements IForgeRegistryEntry.Impl I thought I would be able to use this to send the packet. However, I'm not sure how to call this method properly because of the second parameter. public static <T extends IForgeRegistryEntry<T>> T readRegistryEntry(@Nonnull ByteBuf in, @Nonnull IForgeRegistry<T> registry). Perhaps this is too related to java for this forum, but I'm not sure how I would use this method properly.

You're almost certainly barking up the wrong tree.

You need to tell the method which registry contains the registry entry you're trying to read. In this case, it's the SoundEvent registry (ForgeRegistries.SOUND_EVENTS).

 

That said, Minecraft already has methods to play a sound from the logical server. Forge's documentation lists the methods and explains what each one does here.

I had read through that multiple times and had somehow missed the third overload. Not 100% sure it is what I want though.

 

EDIT: Whether or not those methods are what I want (I doubt they are) the packet works perfectly with that method call. Thanks!
