Hi everyone, I am making a mod to add a basic sky dimension, using only forge. Could someone walk me through from scratch how to start? I could never find a decent explanation, documentation, or tutorial.

I looked. I would love one on there too....

But I don't really know how to do it in the first place :P

I will add a tutorial on how to use METADATA blocks to have many blocks under one ID while still using Forge's Infinite Sprites.

Meh, no real point anymore honestly, unless you are dynamically creating things like RP2's microblocks, we have 4096 IDs now.  And if we are lucky then 1.3 or 1.4 will drop metadata (wishful thinking anyway).

We have no tutorials for that yet, but we would love one placed on the wiki!  (*hint*hint*)

 

i made a tutorial on minecraft forum, but when i went to put it on here, they'd deleted my topic for no reason :S

Could you rewrite it? That would be awesome. I am arguing with my friend over whether or not to use the Dimension API, but I want to stay all-forge.  ;D

Haha that friend would be me.

The Dimensions API is horribly outdated as the last Forge it worked with was 1.4...

However it's coded for Minecraft 1.2.5 so that would make it easier to make it work with the latest Forge :)

right, well firstly look in the dimension manager class, if you know how to code, you should be able to understand what to do by looking in there

Edit:

 

I think the WorldProvider was not what causes the Problem.Now I think it was the ChunkProvider. I've changed a few thinks and now I get this Error:

The ChunkProvider now looks like this:

 

package net.minecraft.src;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;

public class ChunkProviderLEO implements IChunkProvider {

    private World worldObj;
    private Random random;
    private final boolean useStructures;
    private MapGenVillage villageGen = new MapGenVillage(1);


    public ChunkProviderLEO(World par1World, long par2, boolean par4)
    {
        this.worldObj = par1World;
        this.useStructures = par4;
        this.random = new Random(par2);
    }

    private void generate(byte[] par1ArrayOfByte)
    {
        int var2 = par1ArrayOfByte.length / 256;

        for (int var3 = 0; var3 < 16; ++var3)
        {
            for (int var4 = 0; var4 < 16; ++var4)
            {
                for (int var5 = 0; var5 < var2; ++var5)
                {
                    int var6 = 0;

                    if (var5 == 0)
                    {
                        var6 = Block.bedrock.blockID;
                    }
                    else if (var5 <= 2)
                    {
                        var6 = Block.dirt.blockID;
                    }
                    else if (var5 == 3)
                    {
                        var6 = Block.grass.blockID;
                    }

                    par1ArrayOfByte[var3 << 11 | var4 << 7 | var5] = (byte)var6;
                }
            }
        }
    }


    public Chunk loadChunk(int par1, int par2)
    {
        return this.provideChunk(par1, par2);
    }

    public Chunk provideChunk(int par1, int par2)
    {
        byte[] var3 = new byte[32768];
        this.generate(var3);
        Chunk var4 = new Chunk(this.worldObj, var3, par1, par2);

        BiomeGenBase[] var5 = this.worldObj.getWorldChunkManager().loadBlockGeneratorData((BiomeGenBase[])null, par1 * 16, par2 * 16, 16, 16);
        byte[] var6 = var4.getBiomeArray();

        for (int var7 = 0; var7 < var6.length; ++var7)
        {
            var6[var7] = (byte)var5[var7].biomeID;
        }

        var4.generateSkylightMap();
        return var4;
    }

    public boolean chunkExists(int par1, int par2)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public void populate(IChunkProvider par1IChunkProvider, int par2, int par3)
    {
        this.random.setSeed(this.worldObj.getSeed());
        long var4 = this.random.nextLong() / 2L * 2L + 1L;
        long var6 = this.random.nextLong() / 2L * 2L + 1L;
        this.random.setSeed((long)par2 * var4 + (long)par3 * var6 ^ this.worldObj.getSeed());

    }

    public boolean saveChunks(boolean par1, IProgressUpdate par2IProgressUpdate)
    {
        return true;
    }


    public boolean unload100OldestChunks()
    {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean canSave()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public String makeString()
    {
        return "LEOLevelSource";
    }


    public List getPossibleCreatures(EnumCreatureType par1EnumCreatureType, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        //BiomeGenBase var5 = this.worldObj.getBiomeGenForCoords(par2, par4);
        //return var5 == null ? null : var5.getSpawnableList(par1EnumCreatureType);
    	return null;
    }


    public ChunkPosition findClosestStructure(World par1World, String par2Str, int par3, int par4, int par5)
    {
        return null;
    }

}

 

When I reenter the save I spawn in some Blocks, so I die after a few seconds. When I respawn I spawn so high over the ground, that I die by the falldamage.

I think the Problem now is the Teleporter, but I can't find what causes the Problem, so could someone please help me? For the Teleporter´s Code look in the Spoiler above.
