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.

VANILLA MINECRAFT CLASSES ARE THE BEST RESOURCES WHEN MODDING

I will be posting 1.15.2 modding tutorials on this channel. If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect.

Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.

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.

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.

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

      Game Crashed after I updated some mods :/

      Yep I did upgrade just because it showed me a new version available.  I'll redownload the mod list and make sure anything works.  Thanks!

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      The latest log was taken down by pastebin for some reason. Did you try removing the mods you added? The mods you updated, was there a specific reason you updated, or just because? It's possible the updates introduced incompatibilitie, or even need a newer build of forge. If you didn't need the updates for a specific reason, you could also try downgrading those mods.

      By MrMirchi · Posted

      I am using forge 1.20.1 (version 47.3.0). My pc has an RTX 4080 super and an i9 14900 KF, I am on the latest Nvidia graphics driver, latest windows 10 software, I have java 23, forge 1.12.2 works and so does all vanilla versions but for some reason no version of forge 1.20.1 works and instead the game just crashes with the error code "-1." I have no mods in my mods fodler, I have deleted my options.txt and forge.cfg files in case my settings were causing a crash and have tried removing my forge version from the installations folder and reinstalling but no matter what I still crash with the same code and my log doesn't tell me anything: 18:34:53.924 game 2025-02-06 18:34:53,914 main WARN Advanced terminal features are not available in this environment 18:34:54.023 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher running: args [--username, mrmirchi, --version, 1.20.1-forge-47.3.0, --gameDir, C:\Users\aryam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft, --assetsDir, C:\Users\aryam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\assets, --assetIndex, 5, --uuid, 2db00ea8d678420a8956109a85d90e9d, --accessToken, ????????, --clientId, ZWI3NThkNzMtNmNlZS00MGI5LTgyZTgtYmZkNzcwMTM5MGMx, --xuid, 2535436222989555, --userType, msa, --versionType, release, --quickPlayPath, C:\Users\aryam\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\quickPlay\java\1738838092785.json, --launchTarget, forgeclient, --fml.forgeVersion, 47.3.0, --fml.mcVersion, 1.20.1, --fml.forgeGroup, net.minecraftforge, --fml.mcpVersion, 20230612.114412] 18:34:54.027 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher 10.0.9+10.0.9+main.dcd20f30 starting: java version 17.0.8 by Microsoft; OS Windows 10 arch amd64 version 10.0 18:34:54.132 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [ne.mi.fm.lo.ImmediateWindowHandler/]: Loading ImmediateWindowProvider fmlearlywindow 18:34:54.191 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [EARLYDISPLAY/]: Trying GL version 4.6 18:34:54.303 game [18:34:54] [main/INFO] [EARLYDISPLAY/]: Requested GL version 4.6 got version 4.6 18:34:54.367 monitor Process Monitor Process crashed with exit code -1     screenshot of log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WdkH88H865XErvmIqAKjlg7yrmj8EYy7/view?usp=sharing
