[1.12] Best way to make a block simulate sliding/getting pushed?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi.
I'm planning to make a sliding door, but I'm uncertain on how to go about implementing it.
I'd like to avoid too complex multi-block structures because I don't really know enough about how to make them.
Instead I've been thinking of simply having a normal door (albeit with a different model) that is somehow animated, to simulate the door sliding open, when interacted with.
However, I'm not sure how to best achieve the effect.

 

The ideas I have so far:
- Spawning an entity, replacing the "closed door"-block, have the entity move to desired position and then replace the entity with an "open door"-block.

- Simulate the pushing effect of a block being pushed by a piston

- Making the door based on the piston itself. Essentialy making a pseudo piston which is unable to push things, and simply acts as an extendable block.

I'm quite new to minecraft modding, and I'm definitely no expert at java, but I do know it.
Any help at all would be appreciated!

I would recommend looking into Tile entity special renderers (TESR) to create an animation. I have used it to make double doors that rotate open and a door with a sliding panel.

    • You probably used jd-gui to open it, didn't you? Nothing wrong with that, I also made that mistake, except that Notch was a smart guy and he obfuscated the code. That's why you only see files called "a", "b", "c" and then a file that combines them all. As I said, use RetroMCP to deobfuscate the code so that you will 100% understand it and be able to navigate it.
    • Decompiling minecraft indev, infdev, alpha, beta or whichever legacy version is really easy. I'm not a plug, I just also got interested in modding legacy versions (Infdev to be specific). Use https://github.com/MCPHackers/RetroMCP-Java Once you install their client and the Zulu Architecture that they say they recommend (or use your own Java). I encountered some problems, so I run it with: "java -jar RetroMCP-Java-CLI.jar". You should run it in a seperate folder (not in downloads), otherwise the files and folders will go all over the place. How to use RetroMCP: Type setup (every time you want change version), copy-paste the version number from their list (they support indev), write "decompile" and done! The code will now be deobfuscated and filenames will be normal, instead of "a", "b" and "c"! Hope I helped you, but I don't expect you to reply, as this discussion is 9 years old! What a piece of history!  
    • I know that this may be a basic question, but I am very new to modding. I am trying to have it so that I can create modified Vanilla loot tables that use a custom enchantment as a condition (i.e. enchantment present = item). However, I am having trouble trying to implement this; the LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition constructor needs a Holder<Enchantment> and I am unable to use the getOrThrow() method on the custom enchantment declared in my mod's enchantments class. Here is what I have so far in the GLM:   protected void start(HolderLookup.Provider registries) { HolderLookup.RegistryLookup<Enchantment> registrylookup = registries.lookupOrThrow(Registries.ENCHANTMENT); LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition lootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition = new LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition(0.0f, LevelBasedValue.perLevel(0.07f), registrylookup.getOrThrow(*enchantment here*)); this.add("nebu_from_deepslate", new AddItemModifier(new LootItemCondition[]{ LootItemBlockStatePropertyCondition.hasBlockStateProperties(Blocks.DEEPSLATE).build(), LootItemRandomChanceCondition.randomChance(0.25f).build(), lootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition }, OrichalcumItems.NEBU.get())); }   Inserting Enchantments.[vanilla enchantment here] actually works but trying to declare an enchantment from my custom enchantments class as [mod enchantment class].[custom enchantment] does not work even though they are both a ResourceKey and are registered in Registries.ENCHANTMENT. Basically, how would I go about making it so that a custom enchantment declared as a ResourceKey<Enchantment> of value ResourceKey.create(Registries.ENCHANTMENT, ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath([modid], [name])), declared in a seperate enchantments class, can be used in the LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition constructor as a Holder? I can't use getOrThrow() because there is no level or block entity/entity in the start() method and it is running as datagen. It's driving me nuts.
