Confusion as to how often I need to specify a "side" in code

I get the concept of sides, a server thread (or separate JVM if dedicated) versus a client thread.  What confuses me is when should we specify a side in our code?  I know if its rendering stuff it should be client only.  But how about other things, like entity movement, AI, process mouse clicks, etc??  Is there someplace I can check or read up on to help with this?  I fear I am not specifying the side enough (I barely have it at all) and does that mean I have the client loading and/or doing too much stuff that it doesn't need to.

Depends. Players move on the client and just send the server their new position.

Entirely server sided.

How would a server even handle mouse clicks if it may not even have a mouse? This is entirely client-side.

 

In general everything rendering or input related is client side only, and pretty much everything else is either common or server sided. Note that when I say server sided I mean the logical server, not the physical server.

 

Every time you need to do something think about it. Could a dedicated server perform it? It has no controlling player, no mouse input, no keyboard input and may not even have any display at all. If it can't - then the thing you are trying to do is client based. Otherwise the server is likely the entity that needs to do it.

In general the client doesn't do much at all anyway, it mostly displays stuff. Most logic runs on the server and if you have any custom logic you should run it on a server aswell.

Define "not specifying the side".

By sides, I mean specifying a side, with world.isRemote() or @Side.

 

I guess I will just follow the common sense approach when I add sides.  Right now I am running in any integrated server sop I know my code is going need work when I move to dedicated.

These are completely different things. World.isRemote checks whether you are on a logical client or not. @SideOnly removes the method completely from the class on the physical side opposite to the one specified.

Physical Side - Client software application or Server software application

Logical Side - Where logic like keystrokes (client) and mob spawning (server) is done. It can be either Server Thread or Client Thread (the Integrated (Physical) Client has both a server and client thread so you can play single player. The Physical Server does not have a client thread.)

      1.19.2 - Looking to modify a mod's loot table

      By Psistorm · Posted

      TO update, no dice, sadly. I switched replace to true, but it's not showing up. I found something odd though. I installed JER to verify the loot tables for the dragon eggs, but it's not working on those items. I made sure that the server-config to allow loot tables was enabled for the single player world I'm testing in as well. It almost seems like the mod itself is not spawning eggs at all for some reason, but I figure a loot modifier should still make that happen regardless?

      [i'm newbie] I'm Trying to make a Waterlogged Grindstone and i don't know what am i doing wrong

      By TenhoNomeDeGaz · Posted

      *First of all, thank you, because of what you pointed out, I managed to make even more progress and now I know where to start fixing this problem (and any problems that I will have later on) *Second,actually I'm making a new block and not trying to replace a minecraft block because I know I don't have the knowledge for that. *Third, I didn't know about this forum rule, I thought I could get some help since I love to program but I've never taken a class on it and everything I know I'm learning the hard way. But I want to share a success here, I managed to make a first progress. (it still only stays in that position and if I aim at the ground, in addition to just opening the grindstone menu for half a second, but I already know where to start to solve this)

      Broken configuration file. If you don't have a backup of the file and don't know how to fix it, delete the file and it will be recreated with default values.

      At the top of this forum is the EAQ (excessively asked questions). Read the part where it asks "How do I install Forge?". There is no windows specific installer. The installer uses java. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_once,_run_anywhere
