Minecraft Forge File Paths

I want the mod I'm making to be very customizable by the user so when it loads I want it to check and if a file is present it will do something. I know I could use a config file to do something similar but I'd like to do something on a larger scale.  What would the correct file path be to find the files I want to check?

 

If I knew that I could then use something like this...

 

File f = new File("minecraft/forge/where/do/I/go");

if(f.exists()) {  }   

 

Does it start at the .minecraft folder and then go up? Is it different between the forge eclipse environment and actual game running environment? Also could I make it relative to the minecraft forge mods folder, that would be the easiest way because I can easily find my way from there.

 

And one more thing, will it have to go through all the steps to get to the %appdata% folder because I know that varies from computer to computer and if your using a launcher or not.

No, the base directory is the mod jar. (I'm not sure if minecraft.jar files are included.) I don't know how to find files within the .minecraft folder but without the jar... I'd look in the Configuration code to see how it's done.

So if I had a setup like this...

modName > modDeveloper > folderA > folderB

And folderA contained fileA and folderB contained fileB

 

And fileA was testing for fileB I'd do this...

File f = new File("/modDeveloper/folderA/fileB.class");

So should that work in both the eclipse and normal environment? I tried using a .png so I didn't have to worry about the .class or .java difference and set it up pretty similar to my example but it didn't work. Another issue is that I'm using a folder instead of a .jar, would that make a difference?

It is. I did a little trial and error so I went into one of my render files for one of my projectiles and right under the load texture I pasted the whole new file f deal and cope the file path exactly, when I ran mine craft the console told me f.exists = false. So that leads me to believe there is something in the mine craft code that adds something to the beginning of the file path, I did a little digging and couldn't find anything. I'll try looking a little harder and looking at how the Item and Block file paths work but I'm not sure if I'll find what I'm looking for there.

Would there be a way to mimic the loadTexture code from rendering, turn it into a boolean value (If no texture is available false, if there is true) and put it in my core file. I would only be able to check images but that should still be fine.

Ok, I found my problem, the file was reading out of the mcl jars folder not the src folder. I found that out by using f2.mkdir() and then locating the directory it created.

      Model and textures rendered on entity and RenderLevelStageEvent not visible when using shaders

      By Blatopebas · Posted

      Hi, this is my second post with the same content as no one answered this and it's been a long time since I made the last post, I want to make a client-only mod, everything is ok, but when I use shaders, none of the textures rendered in RenderLevelStageEvent nor the crow entity model are rendered, I want them to be visible, because it's a horror themed mod I've already tried it with different shaders, but it didn't work with any of them and I really want to add support for shaders Here is how i render the crow model in the CrowEntityRenderer<CrowEntity>, by the time i use this method, i know is not the right method but i don't think this is the cause of the problem, the renderType i'm using is entityCutout @Override public void render(CrowEntity p_entity, float entityYaw, float partialTick, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource bufferSource, int packedLight) { super.render(p_entity, entityYaw, partialTick, poseStack, bufferSource, packedLight); ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow.renderToBuffer(poseStack, bufferSource.getBuffer(ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow .renderType(TEXTURE)), packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, Utils.rgb(255, 255, 255)); } Here renderLevelStage @Override public void renderWorld(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { horrorEvents.draw(e); } Here is how i render every event public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { for (HorrorEvent event : currentHorrorEvents) { event.tick(e.getPartialTick()); event.draw(e); } } Here is how i render the crow model on the event @Override public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { if(e.getStage() == RenderLevelStageEvent.Stage.AFTER_ENTITIES) { float arcProgress = getArcProgress(0.25f); int alpha = (int) Mth.lerp(arcProgress, 0, 255); int packedLight = LevelRenderer.getLightColor(Minecraft.getInstance().level, blockPos); VertexConsumer builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(crow); Crow<CreepyBirdHorrorEvent> model = ClientEventHandler .getClient().crow; model.setupAnim(this); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(eyes); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, 15728880, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); } } How i render the model public static void renderModelInWorld(Model model, Vector3f pos, Vector3f offset, Camera camera, PoseStack matrix, VertexConsumer builder, int light, int overlay, int alpha) { matrix.pushPose(); Vec3 cameraPos = camera.getPosition(); double finalX = pos.x - cameraPos.x + offset.x; double finalY = pos.y - cameraPos.y + offset.y; double finalZ = pos.z - cameraPos.z + offset.z; matrix.pushPose(); matrix.translate(finalX, finalY, finalZ); matrix.mulPose(Axis.XP.rotationDegrees(180f)); model.renderToBuffer(matrix, builder, light, overlay, Utils .rgba(255, 255, 255, alpha)); matrix.popPose(); matrix.popPose(); } Thanks in advance

      I am trying to develop a modpack for me and my friends to use on our server. Does anyone know how to develop a modpack for a server or could they help take a look at my modpack to potentially help at all?
