1.16 TileEntity Deferred Registry

[urbanxx001]

Trying to create a tile entity in 1.16 with deferred registry is giving errors. I tried the following:

 

public static final DeferredRegister<TileEntityType<?>> TILE_ENTITY_TYPES = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.TILE_ENTITIES, Main.MOD_ID);
public static final RegistryObject<TileEntityType<ModChestTileEntity>> MOD_CHEST_TE = TILE_ENTITY_TYPES.register("mod_chest", () -> new TileEntityType.Builder.create(ModChestTileEntity::new, ModBlocks.MOD_CHEST)));

 

Which is recommended by 1.15 tutorials, and is even written as such in the 1.16 source code with builder.create. The top line is fine but the second isn't. The .create isn't recognized, and neither is the ModChestTileEntity::new constructor, even though the class exists. I know that:

 

@ObjectHolder("modname:mod_chest")
public static final TileEntityType<ModChestTileEntity> MOD_CHEST_TE;

static {
  MOD_CHEST_TE = null;
}

 

Still works, but I'd like to avoid it if possible. Thank you in advance.

You need also to chain the #build() method to #create, so it would be like this TileEntityType#Builder#create(your stuff)#build(null) since its #build() that actually returns the TileEntityType

Thank you very much! I realized I also had to delete "new" in front of TileEntityType

Didn't notice the new, sorry 😛
