[BUG] GameRegistry::registerBlock is referring to a wrong class using reflection

Posted April 19, 201312 yr

In the following method in GameRegistry class, in the second attempt at getting a constructor with signature of (int, Block), due to the imports in this class, the Block refers to cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Block annotation (class) rather than the intended net.minecraft.block.Block.

To remedy the problem, a fully qualified class (with package) should be used in the code, the same it is used in signature of the method itself for first parameter.

    public static void registerBlock(net.minecraft.block.Block block, Class<? extends ItemBlock> itemclass, String name, String modId)
    {
        if (Loader.instance().isInState(LoaderState.CONSTRUCTING))
        {
            FMLLog.warning("The mod %s is attempting to register a block whilst it it being constructed. This is bad modding practice - please use a proper mod lifecycle event.", Loader.instance().activeModContainer());
        }
        try
        {
            assert block != null : "registerBlock: block cannot be null";
            assert itemclass != null : "registerBlock: itemclass cannot be null";
            int blockItemId = block.field_71990_ca - 256;
            Constructor<? extends ItemBlock> itemCtor;
            Item i;
            try
            {
                itemCtor = itemclass.getConstructor(int.class);
                i = itemCtor.newInstance(blockItemId);
            }
            catch (NoSuchMethodException e)
            {
                itemCtor = itemclass.getConstructor(int.class, Block.class);
                i = itemCtor.newInstance(blockItemId, block);
            }
            GameRegistry.registerItem(i,name, modId);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            FMLLog.log(Level.SEVERE, e, "Caught an exception during block registration");
            throw new LoaderException(e);
        }
        blockRegistry.put(Loader.instance().activeModContainer(), (BlockProxy) block);
    }

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
