[1.10.2] Different code formatting?

[Differentiation]

Hey,

I've noticed Minecraft's formatting for their code looks like this:

	@Override
	public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityLivingBase target, EntityLivingBase attacker)
	{
		if (attacker.isSneaking())
		{
			if (target.hurtTime == target.maxHurtTime && target.deathTime <= 0)
			{
				target.addVelocity(0D, 0.5D, 0D)
			}
		}
      
        	return super.hitEntity(stack, target, attacker);
	}

It looks spread out, whereas there are some formats that look different like:

 

	@Override
	public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityLivingBase target, EntityLivingBase attacker) {
		if (attacker.isSneaking()) {
			if (target.hurtTime == target.maxHurtTime && target.deathTime <= 0) {
				target.addVelocity(0D, 0.5D, 0D)
			}
		}
        	return super.hitEntity(stack, target, attacker);
	}

 

The brackets are placed differently if you see what I mean.

 

Does it have an effect on the code or is it just for convenience purpose? I'm just curious.

Thanks!

No effect on code. It's purely visual. Some people prefer the second way because it's more compact. I prefer the first way because it's more clear to me where code blocks begin and end. It's totally up to personal preference.

Oh, I see. I find it better the first way as well because it looks more clean to me.

Thanks!

You can set up Eclipse to help you with the formatting too. The Forge style formatting is here: https://github.com/ForgeEssentials/ForgeEssentials/blob/develop/misc/eclipseformatter.xml

 

You can take that file and in the setting for Java | Code Style | Formatter you can add it as an option.

I am using Eclipse, but how exactly do I do this?
