[SOLVED][1.12.2] New method of registering in game registry questions.

[thevapinggaymer]

So i'm currently updating a mod and GameRegistry.register is now private. I looked up many way to fix this even in the forge documentation. Either I'm blind as a bat or for some reason can't understand how to fix my issues.

 

 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public B register(String name) {
        unlocalizedName = MODID + "." + name.replace("_", ".");
        setTranslationKey(name.replace("_", "."));
        setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(MODID, name));
        ItemBlockHF item = getItemBlock();
        GameRegistry.register(this);  //Can't figure out how to get around this.
        if (item != null) item.register(name);
        return (B) this;
    }

I have tried many way of fixing this but I just create more errors for myself.

Are you trying to register registries or blocks and items?

For registering registries, on calling RegistryBuilder#create, the registry is automatically built and registered by Forge.

For registering blocks and items, subscribe to the according RegistryEvent.Register and register your stuff with Register#register.

I guess it's just been a long day for me because I feel really dumb. All I had to do was

ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS.register(this);

and it fixed it for me. I don't know why it was so hard for me to figure out earlier when I just looked right past it.

No for the love of all that is modding. Dont do that. Do what was said above use the registry events. My goodness. It isnt that hard.

This would cause all sorts of problems like integration with other mods.

The register method is not meant to be used like this.

The one and only proper method of registering stuff is via the registry events.

If you want a "it feels like 1.7.10" method of registering stuff, grab these:

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/EasyRegistry.java

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/client/ClientEasyRegistry.java

 

Then you'll want to do 3 things:

1) change the package name

2) make these classes your client and server proxies

3) remap all Hardlib.proxy calls to WhateverYourModIs.proxy

 

Alternatively, look at how I did it in 1.14 so that (2) and (3) aren't necessary. But you will have to deal with things being renamed.
