Place Block as Player

Posted May 21, 20205 yr

I'm trying to make a mod where if I type a specific message in chat, it will place a block where I'm looking. I'm using ClientChatEvent to get when the client sends a chat message, but I'm not sure how to get the block the player is looking at, or place a block as the player. Kind of like how Schematica does it, but only on the block the player is looking at (as if they were holding the block in their hand and right clicked).

Does anyone know how that could be accomplished?

use raytracing to find the location (player.getLookVec() to get where the player's looking at) of the block that is going to be placed and use world.setBlockState to set the block. BlockItem contains a lot of information you want.

I've tried setBlockState(), but it seems to only work in singleplayer so I assume it's server-side. Is there any way to place a block client-side, so that to the server it seems as if a player just normally placed a block?

Wh- Of course it's going to be serverside, that's where block placement occurs

Is this a client only mod?

What would be the function to be like from the end user's perspective?

You could just send a right click input to place the block down.

Some tips:

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

Support & Bug Reports:

Spoiler

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

You can add mob spawns using Forge's Biome Modifiers feature. I won't go into details on how to use a data generator for them, but here's a simple example:
{ "type": "forge:add_spawns", // Required "biomes": "#namespace:biome_tag", // Accepts a biome id, [list of biome ids], or #namespace:biome_tag "spawners": { "type": "namespace:entity_type", // Type of mob to spawn "weight": 100, // int, spawn weighting "minCount": 1, // int, minimum pack size "maxCount": 4 // int, maximum pack size } }This JSON file would go somewhere like this: data/modid/forge/biome_modifier/your_biome_modifier.json

How to change player renderer and transform model parts?

I have been trying for a while now to make a custom player renderer, and replace the vanilla player renderer with it. So far I've come up with a custom player renderer class that extends vanilla PlayerRenderer:
package com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer; import com.mojang.blaze3d.vertex.PoseStack; import net.minecraft.client.player.AbstractClientPlayer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.MultiBufferSource; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.player.PlayerRenderer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.EntityRendererProvider; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderPlayerEvent; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; public class PoseablePlayerRenderer extends PlayerRenderer { public PoseablePlayerRenderer(EntityRendererProvider.Context ctx, boolean slim) { super(ctx, slim); System.out.println("here too"); } @Override public void render(AbstractClientPlayer p_117788_, float p_117789_, float p_117790_, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource p_117792_, int p_117793_) { System.out.println("didnt get here lol"); model.leftArm.xRot=(float)Math.toRadians(160); super.render(p_117788_, p_117789_, p_117790_, poseStack, p_117792_, p_117793_); } } As you can see, the intended purpose of this is to raise the player's left arm by 160 degrees. However, combined with this logic in ClientModEvents:
@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { EntityRenderers.register((EntityType<? extends AbstractClientPlayer>)(EntityType<?)EntityType.PLAYER, ctx -> new PoseablePlayerRenderer(ctx, true)); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.MAGNESIS_BLOCK.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.REMOTE_BOMB.get(), ThrownItemRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.CRYONIS_ICE.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.STASIS_BLOCK.get(), FallingBlockRenderer::new); } @SubscribeEvent public static void registerLayerDefinitions(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(new ModelLayerLocation(new ResourceLocation(BOTW.MODID, "paraglider"), "main"), ParagliderLayer::createBodyLayer); } }(I also have a paraglider layer here for something else, it's working perfectly fine, also I used the slim setting because the player is slim in 1.20.1 forge)
This logic isn't replacing the renderer, as far as I can tell. Can someone please advise as to why, and how to fix it?
