Texture metadata..

Posted March 16, 20187 yr

I'm trying but just not understanding the new way metadata works. Last time I modded was back in 1.7.10. I'm just not getting the Enum variants code at all.

All I'm trying to do is brush up on the new way by making a basic block that has different textures based on what it's crafted with, like the 16 colors of wool or 4 types of planks.

So better to just make a new block for each texture even if it's the same block but just changing the color?

No, that's what Block States are for.

They're easy.

In fact, color is already done for you. There's a class called BlockColor you can extend.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

As Draco18s said, it is best to learn how block states and variants work. However, if you're really stuck trying to understand it it would actually work to make new block for each. Not elegant, but it is logically a legitimate way to implement it.

How to change player renderer and transform model parts?

I have been trying for a while now to make a custom player renderer, and replace the vanilla player renderer with it. So far I've come up with a custom player renderer class that extends vanilla PlayerRenderer:
package com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer; import com.mojang.blaze3d.vertex.PoseStack; import net.minecraft.client.player.AbstractClientPlayer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.MultiBufferSource; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.player.PlayerRenderer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.EntityRendererProvider; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderPlayerEvent; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; public class PoseablePlayerRenderer extends PlayerRenderer { public PoseablePlayerRenderer(EntityRendererProvider.Context ctx, boolean slim) { super(ctx, slim); System.out.println("here too"); } @Override public void render(AbstractClientPlayer p_117788_, float p_117789_, float p_117790_, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource p_117792_, int p_117793_) { System.out.println("didnt get here lol"); model.leftArm.xRot=(float)Math.toRadians(160); super.render(p_117788_, p_117789_, p_117790_, poseStack, p_117792_, p_117793_); } } As you can see, the intended purpose of this is to raise the player's left arm by 160 degrees. However, combined with this logic in ClientModEvents:
@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { EntityRenderers.register((EntityType<? extends AbstractClientPlayer>)(EntityType<?)EntityType.PLAYER, ctx -> new PoseablePlayerRenderer(ctx, true)); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.MAGNESIS_BLOCK.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.REMOTE_BOMB.get(), ThrownItemRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.CRYONIS_ICE.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.STASIS_BLOCK.get(), FallingBlockRenderer::new); } @SubscribeEvent public static void registerLayerDefinitions(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(new ModelLayerLocation(new ResourceLocation(BOTW.MODID, "paraglider"), "main"), ParagliderLayer::createBodyLayer); } }(I also have a paraglider layer here for something else, it's working perfectly fine, also I used the slim setting because the player is slim in 1.20.1 forge)
This logic isn't replacing the renderer, as far as I can tell. Can someone please advise as to why, and how to fix it?

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

I'm on 1.20.1 and was wondering if there was a way to add a mob I am going to make to a other mod's biome (Regions Unexplored in this case). I am trying to figure this out before I start coding the mod. Could someone point me to a good guide on this? I saw some things about biome modifier's but all the resources are either to short, unhelpful or for a different version. Thanks in advance. (i am a beginner but i have java and modding knowledge so this isn't like a "i am new and don't know anything about coding" problem btw)

Dealing with modded server issues can be a real headache been there! At least you can keep your look stress-free with a fresh low taper fade.

Help with file conversion

Many Forge users seek help with file conversions. Similarly, managing your health can benefit from structured tools like the https://wellness-app.com/calculator/fasting-calculator/ and a free intermittent fasting calculator. These tools help you plan and personalize your fasting and eating windows based on your lifestyle and goals. By entering your preferred fasting duration and meal times, you receive a tailored schedule that makes intermittent fasting easier to follow. Just as mastering file conversions improves modding success, using a fasting calculator brings clarity and structure to your health routine, supporting better results over time.

Cobblemon invalid player data

Hi everyone, I keep getting "invalid player data" when trying to log onto my friend's server. Log analysis says to remove Night Lights and ImmediatelyFast, but that doesn't work. Any insight is appreciated
