How to create a new tool material?

Posted March 26, 201312 yr

Hi everybody! (crowd: Hi doctor Nick!)

Well, I wanted to create some other material from which I could craft tools.

I don't want my new material to have the exact same properties as any of the other tool materials (wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond ). I'd like to customize things such as the combining the enchantability of gold with the max uses of diamond. Or even making it even more enchantable than gold. Basically, I'd like to have my own arbitrary values for my tool material properties.

Since I can't extend an Enum (and EnumToolMaterial is an Enum), I was thinking of extending each and every tool item (ItemSword, ItemSpade, ItemAxe, etc) with a version for my material (MyMaterialItemSword, MyMaterialItemSpade, etc) and then I would override any method that would make use of EnumToolMaterial. That's a very cumbersome approach, and some of those methods are really complicated, such as:

boolean ItemTool.getIsRepairable(ItemStack par1ItemStack, ItemStack par2ItemStack)

That method is used in a most cryptic way by the unreadable method net.minecraft.inventory.ContainerRepair.updateRepairOutput()

So I have no idea of how to override ItemTool.getIsRepairable(...) just to mention one.

There must be a better way to simulate your own materials. Has anyone done that before? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

MinecraftForge comes with the EnumHelper class which allows you to add new enum instances by using dirty reflection tricks.

You can create a new EnumToolMaterial with it.

That sounds just perfect! I'll look into that as soon as I have the time. Got to finish some homework and then get ready for school. Thank you diesieben07 and thank you Forge for what sounds like a neat feature.

Cobblemon invalid player data

Hi everyone, I keep getting "invalid player data" when trying to log onto my friend's server. Log analysis says to remove Night Lights and ImmediatelyFast, but that doesn't work. Any insight is appreciated

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

I've struggled with this for way too long now, so I have decided to ask for some assistance here because there is almost no information about this online.

I made a hostile mob and I built it like this:
public static final Supplier<EntityType<Bunyip>> BUNYIP = ENTITY_TYPES.register("bunyip" , () -> EntityType.Builder. of(Bunyip::new, MobCategory.MONSTER).sized(3f, 2.5f).eyeHeight(1.75f).build("bunyip"));

However, I have discovered that a BoundingBox of 3 is too big for the vanilla pathfinding to work well. In fact, anything bigger than a block will not work well. This is especially noticeable when having it chase a player in a negative X and/or negative Z direction. The mob starts spinning, walking backwards, walking diagonally, etc.

I am using the Goal system:
protected void registerGoals() { super.registerGoals(); this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new MeleeAttackGoal(this, 1.25, true)); this.targetSelector.addGoal(2, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Player.class, true, true)); }

This does not seem to be a me issue as the ravager, one of the biggest vanilla mobs, also struggles with proper pathfinding. I am a bit familiar with how Minecraft's pathfinding works, but not enough to make a pathfinding system from scratch (or at least not in a reasonable amount of time). Is there any way to fix this with some tweaks or will I have to make a custom pathfinding system?

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Unfortunately, it seems that Invision has decided that everything is locked down and no longer customizable.
Their attitude to anyone who wants to edit anything is 'Just accept it we know best and screw you for even insinuating that you want to customize your own site'
So there isn't much we can do about the layout of actual features.
Best bet for the editor is that psudo markdown works, so typing ` around words make code blocks.
Only options is to start writing bespoke modifications to the forum's php code itself, which I really don't want to do.
I would of stayed on v4 but the version of PHP that it supports is going EOL and Invision has stated they have no intentions of upgrading it.
They also removed the central community for finding plugins/community addons.
Overall it is my feeling that they are intentionally trying to kill off self-hosting communities by removing features and locking things down, in an effort to force everyone into using their paid hosting services.

My HOPE is that someone in the overall forum community will write an exporter for Invision to something like SMF. Which is what we were originally on before old team members decided enterprise software is better.
