[1.15.2] Tile Entity not ticking (resolved)

[TheOnly8Z]

Hello all, I'm trying to make a block that implements ITickableTileEntity and does something every minute, but tick() doesn't seem to be running at all.

 

I'm following McJty's tutorial series (for 1.14). The forge documentation mentions using net.minecraft.util.ITickable, but the IDE highlighting seems to suggest this doesn't exist.

 

// snip imports

public class BaitStationTile extends TileEntity implements ITickableTileEntity, INamedContainerProvider {

    private LazyOptional<IItemHandler> handler = LazyOptional.of(this::createHandler);
    private int counter;

    public BaitStationTile() {
        super(BAIT_STATION_BLOCK_TILE.get());
    }

    @Override
    public void tick() {

      	// this line is not running
        LogManager.getLogger().debug("ticking Bait Station, remote: " + world.isRemote + "handler: " + handler.toString());

        if (world.isRemote) {
            return;
        }

        handler.ifPresent(h -> {
            ItemStack stack = h.getStackInSlot(0);
			// snip functionality
        });
    }

    private IItemHandler createHandler() {
        return new ItemStackHandler(1) {

            @Override
            protected void onContentsChanged(int slot) {
                markDirty();
            }

            @Override
            public boolean isItemValid(int slot, @Nonnull ItemStack stack) {
                return BaitStation.baitEntities.exists(stack.getItem());
            }

            @Nonnull
            @Override
            public ItemStack insertItem(int slot, @Nonnull ItemStack stack, boolean simulate) {
                // TODO fancy logic or something
                if (!BaitStation.baitEntities.exists(stack.getItem())) {
                    return stack;
                }
                return super.insertItem(slot, stack, simulate);
            }
        };
    }

    @Nonnull
    @Override
    public <T> LazyOptional<T> getCapability(@Nonnull Capability<T> cap, @Nullable Direction side) {
        if (cap == CapabilityItemHandler.ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY) {
            return handler.cast();
        }
        return super.getCapability(cap, side);
    }

    @Override
    public ITextComponent getDisplayName() {
        return new StringTextComponent(getType().getRegistryName().getPath());
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public Container createMenu(int i, PlayerInventory playerInventory, PlayerEntity playerEntity) {
        return new BaitStationContainer(i, world, pos, playerInventory, playerEntity);
    }
}

Have you checked that your TileEntity is actually being registered and created?

I have these lines regarding the TileEntity in other classes:

// In a registry class
private static final DeferredRegister<TileEntityType<?>> TILES = new DeferredRegister<>(ForgeRegistries.TILE_ENTITIES, MOD_ID);
public static final RegistryObject<TileEntityType<BaitStationTile>> BAIT_STATION_BLOCK_TILE = TILES.register("bait_station", () -> TileEntityType.Builder.create(BaitStationTile::new, BAIT_STATION_BLOCK.get()).build(null));

// In the block class
@Override
public boolean hasTileEntity(BlockState state) {
  return true;
}
@Nullable
@Override
public TileEntity createTileEntity(BlockState state, IBlockReader world) {
  return new BaitStationTile();
}

 

EDIT: I noticed that the item I place in the container isn't saved - when I quit and rejoin the item disappears.

Okay, I've been fooled thoroughly. LogManager.getLogger().debug() didn't actually print anything to the game output (for some reason). Changing it to info() worked.
