Having trouble with keybindings descriptions

[cowslayer7890]

I’m making a key binding mod for 1.8.9 that will simply add a bunch of keybinds to the game that when pressed on hypixel will take you to different games based on which keys you press. The mod is almost done, but I’ve run into a major issue. I want to change the descriptions of said keybindings depending on which game is selected, because my keybinds let you select single doubles ranked, triples etc. my keybinds take up the numpad, and once made I cannot change the name. Looking at the class, I can see it’s final. I’ve noticed other mods like speedster hero’s and fiskfilles superhero mod doing similar things, what am I doing wrong?

Stop using 1.8.9.

You can override getKeyDescription in your KeyBinding class.

I’m using 1.8.9 with the intent to use the mod on Hypixel, and how would I override get key description if it’s final?

I don't care why you are using 1.8.9. It's old an ancient and you should stop using it.

 

getKeyDescription is not final.

If I use 1.12 the mod would be useless because it would be incompatible with other mods, and I don’t need the current description, I need to set the description to something else. You also failed to mention how to override anything. So I make my own class extending Keybinding? I don’t see how overriding getKeyDescription would help at all especially since it has no arguments so I wouldn’t even be able to specify what to change it to, not that I would be able to change it at all because it’s final. I need either a way to get around it being final or a way to remove keybindings registry and replace them. I NEED to use 1.8.9. If I don’t the whole purpose is gone, because it’s a pvp mod.

This makes zero sense.

 

Java basics are required for modding. 

 

The field keyDescription is final and accessed via it's getter getKeyDescription. If you override getKeyDescription to do something other than simply return keyDescription, you can change the description of your key binding without ever touching the keyDescription field. And once again, getKeyDescription is not final. How the arguments are relevant here at all is beyond me.

 

Again, zero sense here.

Ok I think I’m starting to understand, and I know what overriding is, I’m just not sure where I would override in this case, are you telling me to make my own class that extends keybinding?

Yes, if you know what overriding is then it is obvious that you need to extend KeyBinding.

Alright thanks!

The reason it makes zero sense is that Hypixel is a specific multiplayer server that hasn't updated their server jar in forever. Hence any mod not made for 1.8.9 is worthless.

 

(They should still update)

It’s cause of old combat, it’s hard to properly simulate it in new versions.

I think you should tell Hypixel to update, the combat might seem bad at first but you should get used to it. In fact it might the issue with players that use autoclick hacks.

This is not an excuse for staying on an outdated version AND is easily fixable

AntVenom got one of his friends to make a mod (I think it was even server-side only) that allowed you to toggle 1.9 pvp on or off.
