[SOLVED] How do I send a simple chatmessage to the client only?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Just as the title says, I trying to make a mod that will send a response by a chatmessage, an example of this is baritone, when you write a command it sends a response.

Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendMessage(msg);

I can't for the life of me get it to work, even with ITextComponent.

 

I am new to forge modding, and weren't able to find any information about this, an even when i got ITextComponent to work it was asking for some UUID, if I understood it correctly?

 

Thx for the help in advance!

Make sure the code is isolated only on the physical client. And yes, it does need a UUID to specify which player its coming from or Util#DUMMY_UUID if it's coming from no player.

Hi!

Thanks for fast response, as I said before I am really new to this and have idea how to do this and almost all stuff I find form this is old and they have change the names of a lot of stuff? (no idea how to say it in one word)

 

The mod I am creating if for the client only and not a mod for a server. I am sorry but I still don't really understand this with the UUID?

 

Thanks

Yes, method signatures have changed. Because Mojang changed them. Or they got a new MCP name because the old one was inaccurate or didn't meet naming practices.

UUID, a universally unique identifier. Every player (every entity) has one. Chat messages typically originate from somewhere and that's what the UUID is for: to tell the client who sent the message. If you don't have a sender (hint, you--the developer--don't) then you need to use a dummy ID.

Hi!

Thanks for explaining this to me! I now understand what a UUID is and I have also found some website where you can find it.

My final question is how do I do to add this UUID to the sendMessage function?

 

Thanks

Your message is coming from your mod, from no where, you don't need a website to find a player's UUID, you either get the UUID from an entity itself or don't need a real UUID at all, in which case you need a dummy UUID, which diesieben07 already told you how to get.

Hi,

 

As I said I am new to this with forge and don't really understand how to get this dummy uuid? Might be a wierd qustion but if I now use a uuid but then put it to my forge with a real logged in player will it still work?

 

Forget that, I solved it! Thanks to Draco18s and ChampionAsh5357 for the help. Here is how I did:

 

ITextComponent msg = new StringTextComponent("msg");
UUID testuuid = Minecraft.getInstance().player.getUniqueID();
Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendMessage(msg,testuuid);

 

I didn't figure it this DummyUUID thing, if u know how to get it please tell me.

I tested this on LAN an it only displayed for the player with the mod and the one sending the command!

You mean a red underline? Yes, it would, but just because it turns red doesn't tell us what your IDE is saying is wrong. All that is is "there is an error here."

What error?

Hi!

I am getting the error "Cannot resolve symbol 'DUMMY_UUID'".

Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendMessage(msg, Util#DUMMY_UUID);

Is it even this how you write it? And the other solution I made is that a good one, or is it bad?

That's not how you write java. # is used to specify that the following is either a field or a non-static method in most cases. It can also specify a static method however those are usually formatted with ::.

I am really sorry but I am new both to forge and Java, how would you write this?

Hi!

I am sorry for being an idiot, I am just now this this with Java and Forge. I stopped being stupid and fount that this worked as well as the other code where I took the UUID of the player.

Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendMessage(msg, Util.field_240973_b_);

I was trying to find something when typing "Util.DUMMY_UUID" and didn't find anyting, but then I looked at the return for it and saw that the "Util.field_240973_b_" was the only one with the return of a UUID. Is this the Dummy_UUID?

Posted

Which is better to use? Using Dummyuuid or uuid from playerentity?

ITextComponent msg = new StringTextComponent("msg");
UUID testuuid = Minecraft.getInstance().player.getUniqueID();
Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendMessage(msg,testuuid);

or

Minecraft.getInstance().player.sendMessage(msg, Util.field_240973_b_);

or is there no difference? And btw how do I change the title to solved as it is solved?

Is the message coming from the player? Or is it to the player?

Are you sending the information from an entity/player or something that doesn't have a specified identifier (like a developer, console, server)? Each is specific for its use.

Also, just edit the title of the forum, no way to specifically mark it.

 

For extra reference, only use TranslationTextComponent. It allows localization.

It's meant to the player from the mod when the player writes in a command

So then it isn't from the player is it? So why would you tell the code that it was?

    • The specific issue is that items in my inventory wont stack properly. For instance, if I punch a tree down to collect wood, the first block I collected goes to my hand. So when I punch the second block of wood to collect it, it drops, but instead of stacking with the piece of wood already in my hand, it goes to the second slot in my hotbar instead. Another example is that I'll get some dirt, and then when I'm placing it down later I'll accidentally place a block where I don't want it. When I harvest it again, it doesn't go back to the stack that it came from on my hotbar, where it should have gone, but rather into my inventory. That means that if my inventory is full, then the dirt wont be picked up even though there should be space available in the stack I'm holding. The forge version I'm using is 40.3.0, for java 1.18.2. I'll leave the mods I'm using here, and I'd appreciate it if anybody can point me in the right direction in regards to figuring out how to fix this.

    • 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!
