I am able to Generate new Blocks and Items into my very simple mod ( just has Copper Ore ) while I learn. When it comes to those items I am able to generate the texture just fine, but I get a little stuck how how to allow the new blocks to generate their own item. Is Loot tables the correct thing? or should I be looking for something else? Don't even know where to begin, so details would be helpful. 

 

Thank you in advice.

@Luis_ST Okay, but how would I start that? Like where do the folders need to be to get my server to see the Loot table?

you could write the loot tables by hand, but forge provides a more developer friendly way of adding loot tables through data generators.

here's the docs for data generation: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/1.16.x/datagen/intro/

 

but basically what you'll want to do is:

1- Subscribe to the GatherDataEvent in the Mod Event bus, there you can get the DataGenerator from the event parameter

2- You can register your Data Providers to the DataGenerator using DataGenerator#addProvider(), passing a new instance of your data Provider

3- Then you'll need a Data Provider for the mod's loot tables. You can create a new class that extends LootTableProvider.

3.1- in your LootTableProvider, add a constructor that takes a Data Generator and simply calls super, passing the data generator

3.2- You'll want to override the getTables methods, to return your instance of lootTables. all you need to do is return an ImmutableList of Pairs. the Pairs are composed of the LootTable constructor (We'll look at how to create the lootTables in a few steps), and the corresponding LootParameterSet (e.g.: for items that drops when you break a block: LootParameterSets.BLOCK)

3.3- You'll need to override the validate method, and honestly, the code for this is only boilerplate, so you can copy it like I did:

    @Override
    protected void validate(Map<ResourceLocation, LootTable> map, ValidationTracker validationtracker) {
        final Set<ResourceLocation> modLootTableIds =
            LootTables
                .getReadOnlyLootTables()
                .stream()
                .filter(lootTable -> lootTable.getNamespace().equals(Main.MOD_ID))
                .collect(Collectors.toSet());

        for (ResourceLocation id : Sets.difference(modLootTableIds, map.keySet()))
            validationtracker.addProblem("Missing mod loot table: " + id);

        map.forEach((id, lootTable) ->
            LootTableManager.validateLootTable(validationtracker, id, lootTable));
    }

3.4- Finally, override getName() and simply return your modid suffixed with "_lootTables"

 

4- Okay, now to writing the actual loot tables: you can create a class that overrides BlockLootTables (call it ModBlockLootTables for instance)

4.1- override addTables(), and in here you register the lootTables, the superclass has a lot of usefull helper methods, such as registerDropSelfLootTable, which makes the block drop itself as an item when broken.

4.2- override the getKnownBlocks() method, the code is also very boilerplatey, so here it is:

    @Override
    protected Iterable<Block> getKnownBlocks() {
        return StreamSupport
            .stream(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS.spliterator(), false)
            .filter(
                entry -> entry.getRegistryName() != null &&
                    entry.getRegistryName().getNamespace().equals(Main.MOD_ID)
            ).collect(Collectors.toSet());
    }

 

5- Don't forget to add the construcor of this class to the List you're returning in the LootTablesProvider, in getTables

 

Regarding folder structure:

create a data package under your main src path, where you'd keep the init, block, and items folder

under I like to create a class DataGenerators, which handles the gatherData event.

then inside the data package, add two packages, one "client", and one "server"

in client you'd add any dataProvider that's client specific: such as a model provider, or a localization provider

in server you'd keep the common data providers: such as recipes, tags, and lootTables

the Custom LootTablesProvider class should go inside the data.server package

inside server add a loot package, whre you'll kep different lootTables, such as the Custom BlockLootTables class

 

EDIT: oh, and after you're done with the data folder, and after every change you make to it, you need to run the runData task, to actually generate the data, any data that is generated will be under the generated [main] folder

 

if you'd like some example code, take a look at my repo: https://github.com/jvcmarcenes/effetewood

Hope I've helped, if you still have any questions, please ask them

if you konw json its the better way you also can overide the loot tables with a datapack

so i think its the better way.

and I didn't know that there was this possibility. but I'm open to new things.

the whole point of the Data Generators is for the dev to not waste time writing (copying and pasting) repetitive json

it automates the whole process of generating data.

sometimes it is better to write the json by hand, but if the project is quite big, looking into Data Generators is definetelly the way to go, not only for loot tables, but for everything that uses json erally, such as block and item models, blockstates, lang files, recipe files and tags.

it does save a lot of time, I can guarantee that

    • 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. I forgot to mention that I think it only happens on my server but I&#39;m not entirely sure. PLEASE HELP ME!

    • 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.
