Wrench Ore Dictionary?!

I wish there was something like that... Hate all the wrenches I have that fills up my chest! Maybe have Forge offer a way to allow a dictionary for mod common items. Something like ore dictionary but not for ores, instead for items that can be used interchangeably. That might be useful. I am planning on adding a system like that to my Universal Electricity API so the add-ons will have no problem using each other's items. But if Forge has something like that, then it might give some use for modders.

 

Or is there already a way you could do that?

 

Thanks,

You're right, its modifying code, however, this has been sugested many times.

And honestly, it would be up to the modders to design such a interface that wrenches should invoke.

As well as the fact that it would prolly be quite easy to have modders add compatibility themselves.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

You're right. Too bad Buildcraft, IC2 and Forestry each have their own wrench (and same for my mod) and they are all not compatible with each other!

Often the wrenches do different things though, especially based on various states.

 

What they *should* do it make a mod that includes a few tools like wrenches or screwdrivers or whatever and have their mod require it, but you know how well that works.

Or at least an API they can include that does that but only loads one copy from all mods...

That's a step forward at least then I guess, least if you need to add a wrench you can try and make it as compatible as possible. For reference if anyone looks the forestry wrench bit is in.

 

forestry.api.core.ForestryApi and you use it by doing

 

registerWrench(ItemStack); and it returns true if it has managed to register it and false if it doesn't.

I thought the tools themselves didn't do anything but the machine just reacted to the right click with the item. Similar to how my machine are set up in steam power. They just look for a right click of the wrench then rotate the machine. What could be done in my code is change it to look for an instance of IWrench which would be implemented by every wrench. Then no matter which mod it would rotate if the item use IWrench .

I know as far as forestry is concerned the API allows you to add a wrench of your own to be usable on the forestry engines, but honestly not a clue on buildcraft and such.

 

Buildcraft has this hook allowing you to add the wrench, but then it's only available in BC 3 which won't be release till MC 1.3 I guess.

 

I'm playing BC3 :-/

      Forge 54.1.1 Missing Textures please help

      By xLorkin · Posted

      Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.

      New Website for Quick & Easy Minecraft Info

      By MinecraftSearch · Posted

      Hello fellow Minecrafters! I recently returned to Minecraft and realized I needed a wiki that displays basic information easily and had great user navigation. That’s why I decided to build: MinecraftSearch — a site by a Minecraft fan, for Minecraft fans. Key Features So Far Straight-to-the-Point Info: No extra fluff; just the essentials on items, mobs, recipes, loot and more. Clean & Intuitive Layout: Easy navigation so you spend less time scrolling and more time playing. Optimized Search: Search for anything—items, mobs, blocks—and get results instantly. What I’m Thinking of Adding More data/information: Catch chances for fishing rod, traveling villager trades, biomes info and a lot more. The website is still under development and need a lot more data added. Community Contributions: Potential for user-uploaded tips for items/mobs/blocks in the future. Feature Requests Welcome: Your ideas could shape how the wiki evolves! You can see my roadmap at the About page https://minecraftsearch.com/about I’d love for you to check out MinecraftSearch and see if it helps you find the info you need faster. Feedback is crucial—I want to develop this further based on what the community needs most, so please let me know what you think. Thanks, and happy crafting!

      Speedup forge startup?

      By Paint_Ninja · Posted

      That's just plain wrong... newer versions are much better optimised and start a lot faster than 1.8.9, both Forge and Minecraft itself. Comparing Fabric 1.21 with Forge 1.8 is like comparing apples and oranges... one's brand new and the other's over a decade old.
