Hello,

I am trying to program a small mod that is working with Pixelmon Reforged.

In the @Mod annotated class' constructor I register an EventHandler class like this:

public ExampleMod() {
     MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new com.example.examplemod.EventHandler());
}

The EventHandler class looks like this:

package com.example.examplemod;

import com.pixelmonmod.pixelmon.api.events.DropEvent;
import com.pixelmonmod.pixelmon.api.pokemon.PokemonSpec;
import com.pixelmonmod.pixelmon.api.trading.TradePair;
import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.EntityItemPickupEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

public class EventHandler {

    private Logger logger;

    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
    {
        logger = event.getModLog();
        logger.info("### EXAMPLE MOD LOADED");
    }

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void ev(DropEvent event) {
        logger.info("### onEconomyEvent " + event.player);
        PokemonSpec exchange = PokemonSpec.from("glumanda");
        PokemonSpec offer = PokemonSpec.from("mewto");
        TradePair tradePair = new TradePair(offer, exchange);
        com.pixelmonmod.pixelmon.api.trading.NPCTrades.showTrade(event.player, tradePair);
    }

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void pickupItem(EntityItemPickupEvent event) {
        System.out.println("### Item picked up! " + event.getItem().getName());
    }
}

I added a test event which I found in the documentation. It gets triggered. But the DropEvent (or other Pixelmon events) does not. I checked different events but none of them are triggered. (I found them here: https://reforged.gg/docs/)

 

I put the pixelmon jar into a "lib" folder and added the dependency like this:

dependencies {
    provided fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'lib')
}

Why aren't any of those events triggered?

Have you tried contacting the author?

They have a forum, but nothing about modding for it. They also don't provide and source so it is a bit harder. The only thing they provide are the docs above. But I found threads regarding Pixelmon modding here so I thought this forum might be a good place to ask.

 

Interestingly the DropEvent (https://reforged.gg/docs/com/pixelmonmod/pixelmon/api/events/DropEvent.html) I want to listen to extends net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.Event. This is very strange...

Pixelmon fires its evnets on its own event bus. You'll need to register your mod instance to that before you'll receive pixelmons events.

Add this to your preinit:

Pixelmon.EVENT_BUS.register(this);

 

Ah! That makes sense. I did not thought about that.
