I've just started using forge a few days ago and I'm making good headway on my project which is a custom Moba-like minigame.

This is what I've noticed, so much of these forums  just people wanting to have things done for them.

Absolutely no understanding of java or oop in general. It's hard sometimes to find relevant forge discussion or help because it's mostly just general java non-understanding.

Please. Before attempting to do some programming, try to at least a little bit or programming.

The reason I made this post is because I saw 3 posts in a row where the OP says basically: I don't wanna spend a long time learning java when on of you guys can just tell me what I need, while the code snippets they supply have random fields created that are never accessed thinking that they just need to make a field called attack damage and it will magically change a tool's attack damage. Or syntactical errors like override annotations thrown around everywhere, even within methods. Or random braces, random casting, random everything and not wanting to learn but rather just copying and pasting.

      How to modify player head pitch?

      By packetdesyncing · Posted

      I've been trying to find a solution for this for the past few days and cant seem to find it anywhere.   What i want to do is basically set my player's head pitch without the server noticing it. Basically client-side change.   Is there a way to do this? With mixins or anything else?   Thanks in advance.

      WorldGen: Files not generating

      By DroidCrafter23 · Posted

      I have followed a tutorial on how to generate ores for my mod though the data files have not been generated despite me running data in my IDE.  I have looked over and compared my code multiple times and the only differences are either with the IDs or with unnecessary code because of what my mod is (The mod is for the End so I don't need the Overworld or Nether ores), my folders are all in the right structure and no warnings are present when ran. I have been trying to figure this out for a few days now so help would be much appreciated.  The tutorial I was following.  My code -  public class ModBiomeModifiers { public static final ResourceKey<BiomeModifier> ADD_GAZITE_ORE = registerKey("add_gazite_ore"); public static final ResourceKey<BiomeModifier> TRANSCENDINE_GAZITE_ORE = registerKey("add_transcendine_ore"); public static void bootstrap(BootstrapContext<BiomeModifier> context) { var placedFeature = context.lookup(Registries.PLACED_FEATURE);

context.register(TRANSCENDINE_GAZITE_ORE, new ForgeBiomeModifiers.AddFeaturesBiomeModifier( biomes.getOrThrow(BiomeTags.IS_END), HolderSet.direct(placedFeature.getOrThrow(ModPlacedFeatures.TRANSCENDINE_ORE_PLACED_KEY)), GenerationStep.Decoration.UNDERGROUND_ORES));
