[SOLVED] Can't get LootTable loading event to fire.

[Dartania]

[SOLVED]

I know this will probably seem like a dumb question.  I'm trying to modify the vanilla loot table to make bats drop a custom item.

I am following the tutorial at mcforge.readthedocs, and it says...

@SubscribeEvent
public void lootLoad(LootTableLoadEvent evt) {
    if (evt.getName().toString().equals("minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon")) {
        // do stuff with evt.getTable()
    }
}

Well... that doesn't work.  I originally put it in its own class called LootTables, and tried adding `@Mod.EventBusSubscriber`, but then I moved it to the main class to better troubleshoot it, so I could be sure it wasn't because the class wasn't being grabbed.

 

I've looked at a lot of various tutorials and Q/A sites regarding this topic, and none of the layouts they have have worked for me.  I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I've attached (and put in the spoiler below) my main class file.  The one where the `@EventHandler` on the preInit and postInit and init functions definitely work.  None of the `@SubscribeEvent` things I try work.  The logger does not log anything from those SubscribeEvent pieces, so I assume that the methods have not fired.

How did you register the event handling class? If you used the EventHandler annotation then you need to make the method static. In any case you need to have it properly registered as well.

Oh my gods!  Thank you!

None of my methods were static.  I went and updated them to be static.

 

All five of these event methods triggered (like a thousand times)

[20:26:46] [Server thread/WARN] [apothecary]: loadLootTable
[20:26:46] [Server thread/WARN] [apothecary]: lootLoad
[20:26:46] [Server thread/WARN] [apothecary]: lootLoadEvent
[20:26:46] [Server thread/WARN] [apothecary]: onLootTableLoaded
[20:26:46] [Server thread/WARN] [apothecary]: onLootTableLoadedEvent

I was using `@SubscribeEvent`, btw.
