Hey!

I keep taking glances at the Referenced Libraries and the code in them and they have a style that I personally adapted, but I just space everything out myself when coding. I was wondering if there is any way to have line breaks between the beginning and end of block codes. For instance:

	/* Event fired when an entity dies */
	@SubscribeEvent(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
	public void onLivingDeath(LivingDeathEvent event)
	{
		if (event.getEntityLiving() instanceof EntityLiving)
		{
			EntityLiving entity = (EntityLiving) event.getEntityLiving();
			entity.playSound(SoundEvents.BLOCK_METAL_BREAK, 1.0F, 1.0F);
			
			for (int i = 0; i < 50; ++i) //line break above
			{
				entity.worldObj.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.BLOCK_CRACK, 
					  entity.posX, entity.posY + (entity.height - 0.25D), entity.posZ, 
					  Math.random() * 0.2D - 0.1D, Math.random() * 0.25D, Math.random() * 0.2D - 0.1D, 
					  Block.getIdFromBlock(Blocks.REDSTONE_BLOCK)
				   );
			}//line break below
          
			if (...)
			{
				...
			}
          
			try
			{

			}
			catch(...)
			{
				... 
			}
		}
	}

I've been trying to accomplish this for a lot of time, yet no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I don't think that's something that can be controlled by automatic code formatting. :\

aw, that's a bummer, is there any other way to format it this way other than doing it manually?

It's a pain

IntelliJ's Code Style settings offer a vast amount of options, which should get you at least close to what you want.

Ah! I knew it, it's about time for me to switch to a more professional software...

thanks for the help!

Both Eclipse and IntelliJ can do a lot of automatic formatting. If modders want the formatter XML template file that does all the indenting and braces and stuff they can get it from the ForgeEssentials github project here: https://github.com/ForgeEssentials/ForgeEssentials/tree/develop/misc

 

Now the formmater doesn't cover the specific question for this thread about blank lines after a for loop. But that can be set in Window/Preferences/Java/Editor/Template settings. Just add a blank line at the end of the ones you want and make sure you enable them to insert automatically. Ideally you can name the templates something unique like "myIf" so then you just can hit CTRL+Space while typing and it will fill in for you.
