Hey!

So I want to create a system that displays the number of a certain mob with a certain name, for example, a Creeper named "Creep". I know how to create the event, how to display the text, but what I need is a system that permit me to store the number value, and get it back even after game restart, any idea how to do this?

I'm developing in 1.15.2

Sounds like you want to use a capability. Probably a capability attached to the World.

Does it work even if I change world / server in multiplayer? If so, how can I use it?

No it would be a different world. I guess I didn't know exactly what you wanted to do.

You want to through all worlds keep track of certain things?

If so you will need to write to a file yourself. Forge doesn't have anything for universal persistence that I know of. Though you can use basic IO or JSON(GSON) for stuff that is loaded and saved once.

I need to store values, and keep them wherever I go, like a vanilla setting doesn't change on different world

Does Forge support that? YML, JSON, .properties, is there a "vanilla" way to do that, or I have to create one myself?

You likely just need to use events to read and write the data. IE when the mod loads(FMLCommonSetupEvent) read the data from the file.

 

And the GSON library is included within the Minecraft/Minecraft Forge project so you can use that to read and write JSON files.

Ok perfect, and how can I do that?

Well, I can't figure how to do it, I feel stupid '-'

But I noticed that some mods use dat files in .minecraft dir, how can I do this with dat or JSON at this location? And how can I edit it with code?

Which part can you not figure out?
How to use GSON to write Json to file?
How to get the .minecraft file location?

 

If you want to use .dat I believe you need to store your data in a CompoundNBT then use net.minecraft.nbt.CompressedStreamTools to read and write your file when you need/want to.

.minecraft, I might have an idea, but not sure, to use GSON, I have no idea, and I don't understand most of the posts

May I have any example please? Or any method to do this

Take a look at those two classes. CompoundNBT and CompressedStreamTools.

You can get the game directory by doing Minecraft.getInstance().gameDir but do note that this will not work on dedicated server.

Here is an example where I have used GSON to write JSON files. Though it might be too complicated for an example.

Ok, i'll check docs for that

It is a client only mod (and personal tool) so no problems with that

Ok, thanks, i'm checking that!

    • I know that this may be a basic question, but I am very new to modding. I am trying to have it so that I can create modified Vanilla loot tables that use a custom enchantment as a condition (i.e. enchantment present = item). However, I am having trouble trying to implement this; the LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition constructor needs a Holder<Enchantment> and I am unable to use the getOrThrow() method on the custom enchantment declared in my mod's enchantments class. Here is what I have so far in the GLM:   protected void start(HolderLookup.Provider registries) { HolderLookup.RegistryLookup<Enchantment> registrylookup = registries.lookupOrThrow(Registries.ENCHANTMENT); LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition lootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition = new LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition(0.0f, LevelBasedValue.perLevel(0.07f), registrylookup.getOrThrow(*enchantment here*)); this.add("nebu_from_deepslate", new AddItemModifier(new LootItemCondition[]{ LootItemBlockStatePropertyCondition.hasBlockStateProperties(Blocks.DEEPSLATE).build(), LootItemRandomChanceCondition.randomChance(0.25f).build(), lootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition }, OrichalcumItems.NEBU.get())); }   Inserting Enchantments.[vanilla enchantment here] actually works but trying to declare an enchantment from my custom enchantments class as [mod enchantment class].[custom enchantment] does not work even though they are both a ResourceKey and are registered in Registries.ENCHANTMENT. Basically, how would I go about making it so that a custom enchantment declared as a ResourceKey<Enchantment> of value ResourceKey.create(Registries.ENCHANTMENT, ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath([modid], [name])), declared in a seperate enchantments class, can be used in the LootItemRandomChanceWithEnchantedBonusCondition constructor as a Holder? I can't use getOrThrow() because there is no level or block entity/entity in the start() method and it is running as datagen. It's driving me nuts.
    • Hi here is an update. I was able to fix the code so my mod does not crash Minecraft. Please understand that I am new to modding but I honestly am having a hard time understanding how anyone can get this to work without having extensive programming and debugging experience as well as searching across the Internet, multiple gen AI bots (claude, grok, openai), and examining source code hidden in the gradle directory and in various github repositories. I guess I am wrong because clearly there are thousands of mods so maybe I am just a newbie. Ok, rant over, here is a step by step summary so others can save the 3 days it took me to figure this out.   1. First, I am using forge 54.1.0 and Minecraft 1.21.4 2. I am creating a mod to add a shotgun to Minecraft 3. After creating the mod and compiling it, I installed the .jar file to the proper directory in Minecraft and used 1.21.4-forge-54.1.0 4. The mod immediately crashed with the error: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Item id not set 5. Using the stack trace, I determined that the Exception was being thrown from the net.minecraft.world.item.Item.Properties class 6. It seems that there are no javadocs for this class, so I used IntelliJ which was able to provide a decompiled version of the class, which I then examined to see the source of the error. Side question: Are there javadocs? 7. This method, specifically, was the culprit: protected String effectiveDescriptionId() {      return this.descriptionId.get(Objects.requireNonNull(this.id, "Item id not set"));  } 8. Now my quest was to determine how to set this.id. Looking at the same source file, I determined there was another method:  public Item.Properties setId(ResourceKey<Item> pId) {             this.id = pId;             return this;   } 9. So now, I need to figure out how to call setId(). This required working backwards a bit. Starting from the constructor, I stubbed out the variable p which is of type Item.Properties public static final RegistryObject<Item> SHOTGUN = ITEMS.register("shotgun", () -> new ShotgunItem(p)); Rather than putting this all on one line, I split it up for readability like this: private static final Item.Properties p = new Item.Properties().useItemDescriptionPrefix().setId(rk); Here is was the missing function, setId(), which takes a type of ResourceKey<Item>. My next problem is that due to the apparent lack of documentation (I tried searching the docs on this site) I could not determine the full import path to ResourceKey. I did some random searching on the Internet and stumbled across a Github repository which gave two clues: import net.minecraft.resources.ResourceKey; import net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation; Then I created the rk variable like this: private static ResourceKey<Item> rk = ResourceKey.create(Registries.ITEM, ResourceLocation.parse("modid:shotgunmod")); And now putting it all together in order: private static ResourceKey<Item> rk = ResourceKey.create(Registries.ITEM, ResourceLocation.parse("modid:shotgunmod")); private static final Item.Properties p = new Item.Properties().useItemDescriptionPrefix().setId(rk); public static final RegistryObject<Item> SHOTGUN = ITEMS.register("shotgun", () -> new ShotgunItem(p)); This compiled and the mod no longer crashes. I still have more to do on it, but hopefully this will save someone hours. I welcome any feedback and if I missed some obvious modding resource or tutorial that has this information. If not, I might suggest we add it somewhere for people trying to write a mod that doesn't crash. Thank you !!!  
    • I will keep adding to this thread with more information in case anyone can help, or at the very least I can keep my troubleshooting organized. I decided to downgrade to 54.1.0 in the hopes that this would fix the issue but it didn't. At least now I am on a "recommended" version. The crash report did confirm my earlier post that the Exception is coming from effectiveDescriptionId(). I'll continue to see if I can find a way to set the ID manually.   Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Item id not set         at java.base/java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:259) ~[?:?]         at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/net.minecraft.world.item.Item$Properties.effectiveDescriptionId(Item.java:465) ~[forge-1.21.4-54.1.0-client.jar!/:?]         at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/net.minecraft.world.item.Item.<init>(Item.java:111) ~[forge-1.21.4-54.1.0-client.jar!/:?]         at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/com.example.shotgunmod.ShotgunItem.<init>(ShotgunItem.java:19) ~[shotgunmod-1.0.0.jar!/:1.0.0]         at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/com.example.shotgunmod.ModItems.lambda$static$0(ModItems.java:15) ~[shotgunmod-1.0.0.jar!/:1.0.0]         at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister$EventDispatcher.lambda$handleEvent
