How to override vanilla method

[SerialSniper]

Hi everybody,

I've been searching for a lot of hours today and still can't find an answer, so I decided to come and ask here.

 

I want to override canInsertItem from ShulkerBoxTileEntity since I want to set it always to true so the player can nest shulker boxes.

Can I do this? How?

The approach I would recommend is to replace the vanilla shulker tile entity with a custom one you wrote that accepts all items.

There are other ways like ASM, but I don’t recommend it unless you are familiar with it.

Thanks for answering!

I am an absolute beginner of Forge but I know deeply Java, how can I attach then the tileentity to the block?

@DavidM I know that maybe you can't answer me right now but when you can, please do it as soon as possible

You register stuff under the same registry name as the entry you would like to override.

As for the shulker block, you might also have to change the constant under the Blocks class.

Your custom shulker block should return an instance of your tile entity in createTileEntity.
