[1.16.1] correct use of DeferredWorkQueue

[Yohann]

Hello!

 

It's been a very short time that I've been trying to develop mods with Forge. I understand after reading a lot of things on this forum that FMLCommonSetupEvent is not thread safe. It was advised to use DeferredWorkQueue to overcome this problem.

But I don't understand exactly how to use this function properly and I can't find any resource explaining it clearly enough. Can you help me?

 

Thank you!

That is false. FMLCommonSetupEvent is however fired in parallel for all mods. What isn't threadsafe is many of Minecraft's data structures. So when accessing those you must schedule a task to run (usually a Runnable) after the parallel dispatch on the main thread. To do this you use DeferredWorkQueue.

I had misunderstood this nuance thank you for this clarification and explanation!
