1.12 What is the use of this ResourceLocation Parameter in EntityRegistry.registerModEntity?

[TheRPGAdventurer]

Hi! I just updated my mod form 1.10.2 to 1.12 I fixed some issues but what is the use of this new ResourceLocation parameter in EntityRegistry.registerModEntity? It doesn't exist in 1.10.2

/**
     * Register the mod entity type with FML

     * @param entityClass The entity class
     * @param entityName A unique name for the entity
     * @param id A mod specific ID for the entity
     * @param mod The mod
     * @param trackingRange The range at which MC will send tracking updates
     * @param updateFrequency The frequency of tracking updates
     * @param sendsVelocityUpdates Whether to send velocity information packets as well
     */
    public static void registerModEntity(ResourceLocation registryName, Class<? extends Entity> entityClass, String entityName, int id, Object mod, int trackingRange, int updateFrequency, boolean sendsVelocityUpdates)
    {
        instance().doModEntityRegistration(registryName, entityClass, entityName, id, mod, trackingRange, updateFrequency, sendsVelocityUpdates);
    }

It is used as a registry name for the EntityEntry(ForgeRegistries.ENTITIES) registry. It is simply a registry name just as the one your blocks/items/biomes/potions/whatever have, that's all. You can put anything you want in there, just as you do for your blocks/items/etc.

private void registerEntities() {
        EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(dragon, EntityTameableDragon.class, "RealmOfTheDragon",
                ENTITY_ID, RealmOfTheDragons.instance, ENTITY_TRACKING_RANGE, ENTITY_UPDATE_FREQ,
                ENTITY_SEND_VELO_UPDATES);
    }

I tried this and gave me an error to create a variable, add "" in dragon becames unapplicable, tried to like ResourceLocation dragon, it stops the error yet crashes the game. Same thing when I change it to null.

you don't have a local/field named dragon, hence the error. This is basic java.

Could you please clarify this? I do not think I understand you here.

Post your code with this try and the crashreport then.

You can't have a null registry name for anything, including entities. 

[TheRPGAdventurer]

add "" in dragon becames unapplicable

I mean "dragon" like "RealmOfTheDragon",

 

Here is the crash error: https://pastebin.com/zPrP5PC6

This is ClienProxy: Java 74

private void registerEntities(ResourceLocation registryName) {  // 73
        EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(registryName, EntityTameableDragon.class, "RealmOfTheDragon", // 74
                ENTITY_ID, RealmOfTheDragons.instance, ENTITY_TRACKING_RANGE, ENTITY_UPDATE_FREQ, // 75
                ENTITY_SEND_VELO_UPDATES); //76
    }

This is ClientProxy : 60 // registerEntities(null) =line 60

@Override
    public void onInit(FMLInitializationEvent evt) {
        super.onInit(evt);
        
        registerEntities(null);

    }

This is RealmOfTheDragons: java 91

@EventHandler
    public void onInit(FMLInitializationEvent evt) { //90
        proxy.onInit(evt); //91
       
    }

Additionally registering your entities in your client proxy makes zero sense - entities are common, the server must know about them.

registerEntities();

When I removed in my 1.10.2 version, It made my entity invisible or at least didn't exist.

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand you here, What did you remove? If you mean the method you were not supposed to remove it, you were supposed to relocate the call to it to the code that gets executed on both server and the client(aka common code).

The client proxy is for executing the code on the client-side only. Just call this method from your mod class or somewhere else where the code is executed on both the server and the client.

I registered it in server now when you told me,

But my issue remains on the ResourceLocation registryName Parameter. Sorry I thought the sentence above was a code.

This is just a registy name of your entity. You can put anything you want in there except for null.

does it require a resourcelocation variable or something?

[V0idWa1k3r]

Yes, it requires a ResourceLocation object. Instantinating it is up to you.

Dude I already did that, I'm gonna check on other mods to see what they do.

Where? You have never shown your code with a ResourceLocation object instantinated. You have shown you passing null as that ResourceLocation, which won't work.

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(new ResourceLocation("modid:name"), EntityTameableDragon.class, "RealmOfTheDragon",
                ENTITY_ID, RealmOfTheDragons.instance, ENTITY_TRACKING_RANGE, ENTITY_UPDATE_FREQ,
                ENTITY_SEND_VELO_UPDATES);

It's as simple as that. Have you not used ResourceLocations when registering your items?

Where do you register your entity?

in the proxies client proxy and server proxy.

RealmOfTheDragons#onPostInit is never called because it has more than one parameter, there should be a warning in the log telling you this.

 

This means that CommonProxy#onPostInit is never called and your entity is never registered.

 

Proxies are for sided code, common code belongs in your @Mod class (or classes called from it). I recommend using an interface rather than a class as the common type of your proxies (i.e. the type of the @SidedProxy field).
