[1.12.2] how do i run code only on the client?

[CNKManga]

i want to know because a mob my friend added is crashing servers and i need to fix it so that it only tries to render the mobs in the client, right now they render no matter what

thanks in advance

Use a client sided EventSubscriber or proxies

i can't and here's why:

i am making an if loop that contains the rendering code, i already have the entity made, the rendering code is already there, and i need to know what the if loop would look like if i were to put the auto-generated rendering code into a loop that only runs if the session is a client

Post your code.

Use a GitHub repo, please. Otherwise the thread becomes a bit messy.

i wont use git because then other people can see my code, mostly i dont use github. just. post. the. if. loop.

just  make a large entity yourself using MCreator, then test the server environment and it should stop because of an error

Then dont ask for help with code or suck it up and remove it once you've gotten help.

I'm sorry what? First off that's not how we do things around here. We do not just post code for people to use, we help people write the code for themselves. Secondly you cant just use an if loop, whatever that is.

Cadiboo, DaemonUmbra, and myself can do this and have it work on a dedicated server.

i will not be helped on this project unless i can get code from this forum

so github and any other online code posting sites are off the table by default

We would prefer to teach you how to solve your problems rather than doing the work for you.

alright, fine, where can i find an example that looks like this:

if(mod is on client-side){(this bit here is all i need to know on this line)

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(new ResourceLocation("unreachablefantasy:iceyeti"), Entityiceyeti.class, "iceyeti", mobid, instance, 64, 1, true, -1, -6684673);

}

?

Do the work in the client proxy and put a no-op in the server proxy

 

Edit: Animefan's solution and comment below are more applicable than this answer.

Well first you shouldn't be registering your entities like that anymore, there is a registry event for them now. And this piece of code has to happen on both the server and has nothing to do with rendering.

oh, thanks, but this is what was generated by MCreator

where can i find info on this new registry event?

[DaemonUmbra]

My opinion: Learn Java and do it properly.

yep, i'm doing that ever so slowly, but i have 664 codes i'll have to rewrite and i dont feel like messing that up

Don't use MCreator. ever. It was a great concept, but it was horribly made. Really, really, really badly implemented. I'm planning on making my own API (that might have its own program to make stuff) that provides similar functionality.

Registry events haven't been new for a long time.

You might want to take use my example mod. You should at least read the README as it outlines a few concepts and has some helpful references.

If you release code you've written people can see it. Java is one of the easiest languages to decompile, but this applies universally. It takes max 5 min to decompile & deobfuscate someone's mod. I don't see any reason for keeping code private ever (except for trying to monetise on it), if your worried about security your code should always be public so people can look at it and tell you about vulnerabilities for example. IMO the answer is never to keep code private

If I may, OP, you will have a very hard time getting any sort of help if you keep being stubborn about getting people to view your code. Frankly, nobody here is interested to steal your code, nobody wants to plagiarize any functions, or anything like that. By refusing to show us an entire code base so that we, as helpers are not able to view it, you limit your ability to get help by a lot. It makes threads extremely messy and random when you post small snippets, especially considering you aren't posting enough code for us to help without seeing more in the first place.

Welcome to the world kiddo! You need to provide knowledge to gain it!

 

Geez, what a dumpster fire of a thread....
