I saw in the source code that some people potion's mods included a variable or something called field_76425_a. What is this thing and why when I use this properly in my mod, it is giving errors?

If you were using it properly it wouldn't be giving you errors.

Post what you tried.

I probably made a mistake somewhere, here is the code for that part:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 public static void checkID(Potion toAdd, int potionID)
  {
    if (Potion.field_76425_a[potionID] != null) {
      conflicts.add(new Conflict(Potion.field_76425_a[potionID], toAdd, potionID));
    }
  }

When you look at other people's distributed jar files, the code inside of them is going to be obfuscated. What you're looking at is an SRG name. It's a computer generated ID that allows Forge to partially de-obfuscate Minecraft's distributed source (with names like a.aa and bc.f6).

Two things, is there any way to like "substitute" or replace them? Or, are they supposed to give errors.

 

Also, I also have another error about "func_76393_a()" but, I am guessing this is also another SRG name.

What version are you modding for?

1.12.2

If you need to know what a SRG name is (because you're looking at someone else's compiled code) you can do that with MCPBot.

1.12 download works for 1.12.2 download right

Don't seem to find it in the form.There is field_76424_c, and field_76246_n, but no field_76425_a. This might be a reason why eclipse is having an error.

How old is the code you are looking at. Plus when you are making more potions you should use the registry events in 1.12.2

Oh, I am updating a 1.8 mod to 1.12.2. That probably is reason.

Yup, it is.

There is no field_76425_a in 1.12.2, but in 1.8, there is. It is the potion array. I got to change the whole code in order for the mod to work. If you don't know what mod I am trying to do, it is a mod that can extend potion IDs. I thought I could use the potion array as a trick, but it got removed in 1.12. Are there any other tricks that might work?

This isn't necessary in 1.12, forge has a registry system for potions now.

The problem is that I have passed the 256 potion id limit. But, there is no mod in 1.12 that can fix it. Is it possible to make a mod that can bypass the 256 potion id restriction?

In 1.12 there is no 256 potion limit, there is no limit at all.

Oh, I accidentally, wrote my comment a bit wrong. I meant the effect ID's.

PotionEffects also have a registry and have no 256 limit.

Then, what does this error mean:

Note: A modcreator said it was the potion ID's fault.

Umm, I'm kind of split here. One says there isn't maximum potion ID, but the other says there is. Which one to follow?

There is indeed a 256 limit for Potion instances. There is no way to bypass it, you need to register fewer potions.

Is there a reason for this limit?

I was wrong, there is an underlying limit on them, you will just have to create your own potion item that imitates the vanilla one.

Ok. I know that bytes go up to 256, but could we also create an integer array that can increase the limit in a mod?

 

Ok. But thanks everyone for helping! I truly appreciate it. ?
