I was looking for uses of that distribution side, but no class uses that annotation together with this distribution side... (aside from net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber)

 

The javadoc in net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist class says the following:

Quote

DEDICATED_SERVER is the dedicated server distribution, it contains a server, which can simulate the world and communicates via network. (from the javadoc of the class)

 

The dedicated server distribution. This is the server only distribution available for download. It simulates the world, and can be communicated with via a network. It contains no visual elements of the game whatsoever. (from Dist.DEDICATED_SERVER)

But that didn't help clarify on what should only be processed on the Dedicated Server side, and does that distribution side also exist on singleplayer worlds?

 

I know that Dist.CLIENT is used for stuff like rendering, but when is it appropriate to use Dist.DEDICATED_SERVER?

Basically you should never yourself be using the @OnlyIn annotation unless you are overriding a method with the annotation already.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

No, You should NEVER be using these annotations.

Not even for your rendering code.

Not even if the overridden method has it.

NEVER.

If you run into sided issues, bypass it using proper side checks.

If you never call the client side code, on the dedicated server, it doesn't matter if the classes are in your jar.

 

If some other mod/code reflectively access your class in the one specific case where you have a method with a sided class in your signature. Then there can be issues. However those issues are on the side of whomever is reflecting into you unnecessarily.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

That differs from what I'd heard previously.

I don't care what you heard previously, you heard wrong.

The ONLY reason to use this annotation {which triggers ASM hackery} is to prevent a hard crash.

The ONLY reason there would be a hard crash is if someone tried to invoke your sided method, or reflectively resolve it.

That would ONLY be a method that has a vanilla sided class IN ITS SIGNATURE.

In both cases it is better to NOT do the stupid thing that causes the error then it is to rely on ASM hackery.

 

If it's someone else doing it then yell at them to stop being stupid.

 

If ALL else fails, and it's LITERALLY the last result, seriously "Dont use the other mod that is breaking shit" is 100x more preferred to ASM Hacks. Then ONLY use it on the specific method that is causing the error. Then sure use it. But 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of the time using sane coding practices beats relying on ASM Hackery.

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.  
    • Crashes the server when trying to start. Error code -1. Log
