[1.15.2] GlobalLootModifier not working

[Sinhika 7]

After explanations from Draco18s (which, with his permission, I have documented for future use here: How to use Global Loot Modifiers ), I have tried to implement a loot_modifier that looks for the modded shears items defined in my SimpleOres mod, and then regenerates the loot table as if they were silk touch items (or real minecraft:shears, I have tried both). The goal is to implement modded shears in a other-mod-friendly fashion; overriding vanilla loot tables, the only way I was able to do it previously, is extremely unfriendly to other mods.

 

The mod source code in question is here: https://github.com/Sinhika/SimpleOres2

The loot modifier stuff is in https://github.com/Sinhika/SimpleOres2/blob/1.15/src/main/java/mod/alexndr/simpleores/helpers/SimpleOresLootModifiers.java

(Don't want to clutter up this post with lots of source code).

It is registered (along with everything else) in https://github.com/Sinhika/SimpleOres2/blob/1.15/src/main/java/mod/alexndr/simpleores/ModEventSubscriber.java

 

I've cut down the loot_modifier/mod_shears_harvest.json to a minimal test case, like so:

{
	"conditions": [
		{
			"condition": "minecraft:match_tool",
			"predicate": {
				"item": "simpleores:copper_shears"
			}
		}
	]
}

Based on the logs, or lack thereof, the function is being registered, but isn't being called when it ought to be.

Can anyone see any reason why, when I whack a leaf block with the copper shears, the loot modifier function isn't being called?

Your code looks fine, my guess is that the tool predicate is returning false. Ie. that the item you're using doesn't match "simpleores:copper_shears"

 

Double check your registry names.

 

Scratch that, this file is in the wrong folder:

https://github.com/Sinhika/SimpleOres2/blob/1.15/src/main/resources/data/forge/global_loot_modifiers/global_loot_modifiers.json

Should be forge/loot_modifiers not forge/global_loot_modifiers.

That does appear to have been the problem! Going on to test with some further refinements. Thank you.
