Forge 1.12 Registry usage clarification

[Unit]

Hi dear modders,

 

I'm quite new to modding (but not to Java ) and I need some explanations about the Forge 1.12 registry event system.

 

Registering an Item or a Block seems quite easy to do, but I'm trying to add a basic WorldGenerator to create some ore vein.

The tutorial I'm following is now old, so I guess the registration part isn't up to date. l supposed we should now use some event, but I'm surprised, WorldGenerator isn't suitable for RegistryEvent.Register<T extends IForgeRegistryEntry==<==T>>. So what is the new way to register it?

 

Also, I discovered Recipe is an instance of IForgeRegistryEntry. So I suppose I should use the event for registration. For now I'm doing it this way:

Spoiler

    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
      	// Some stuff
        CraftingHelper.register(new ResourceLocation(References.MODID, "item_registry_name.json"),
                                (IRecipeFactory) (context, json) -> CraftingHelper.getRecipe(json, context));
        proxy.init(event);
    }

 

Is it the intended way to do this? What is your way to register recipes from JSON files?

 

Any detail would be appreciated.

RegistryEvent.Register is only for types that are in a Forge registry (i.e. types that implement IForgeRegistryEntry). There's no IWorldGenerator registry (IWorldGenerator doesn't extend IForgeRegistryEntry), so IWorldGenerators should still be registered in preInit/init.

 

Recipe files in your mod's assets/<modid>/recipes directory are automatically loaded and registered by Forge. IRecipeFactory, IIngredientFactory and IConditionFactory classes should be specified in assets/<modid>/recipes/_factories.json rather than being registered in code.

 

If you do register recipes in code (which you should avoid doing where possible), do it in RegistryEvent.Register<IRecipe>.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I think this topic is closed. I still have some issues with my WorldGenerator (for some reason it works like a charm with Minecraft vanilla blocks, but not with mines), but I guess it's a subject for another topic.

 

EDIT:

I was wrong, it actually works, I don't know why I couldn't find any veins. No luck I guest.
