I found the following class within OreDictionary

public static class OreRegisterEvent extends Event
    {
        public final String Name;
        public final ItemStack Ore;

        public OreRegisterEvent(String name, ItemStack ore)
        {
            this.Name = name;
            this.Ore = ore;
        }
    }

 

and above this method is the forge event bus invoker

private static void registerOre(String name, int id, ItemStack ore)
    {
        ArrayList<ItemStack> ores = getOres(id);
        ore = ore.copy();
        ores.add(ore);
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(new OreRegisterEvent(name, ore));
    }

 

I have my ForgeEvents class setup to receive these events and have successfully received other events but not this one

public class ForgeEvents
{
@ForgeSubscribe
public void DropEvent(LivingDropsEvent e)
{
               //working event snipped for less spam code
}

@ForgeSubscribe
public void oreRegistrationEvent(OreRegisterEvent e)
{
                Log.log("Recieved oreRegistrationEvent");
	if (e.Name.toLowerCase().contains("ore"))
	{
		addOre(e.Name);
	}
}
}

 

and in my preInit method I have

MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new ForgeEvents());

 

is there a reason why I am not receiving this particular event?

because ore events use MinecraftForge.ORE_BUS (or something like that) to register the ore events..

 

        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(new OreRegisterEvent(name, ore));

No.. no it doesn't.

That should work fine as long as a ore is registered.

Oh wait it is working but due to my listener being registered after vanilla registration it doesn't invoke my method for vanilla ores anyway to register my event before objects start getting registed?

 

        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(new OreRegisterEvent(name, ore));

erm ok, anyways did u registred the event on the @PreInit? if not try that

No

But you do have access to get all currently registered ores

You dont need a damn event for that.
