Projectile Entity Constructor Missing Access Level Modifier Preventing Direct Extension

[Iron1601]

Even though some classes extend ProjectileEntity, its constructor is protected. I tried extending it and my IDE told me I needed a "constructor matching super" so I made one but of-course the constructor is protected so a super() is not an option. Am I missing something or is there no way to directly extend ProjectileEntity?

 

Thanks in advance

extends ProjectileEntity and set the constructor to public that you register you entity

if you extends a class which has protect methods you can use them

'ProjectileEntity(net.minecraft.entity.EntityType<? extends net.minecraft.entity.projectile.ProjectileEntity>, net.minecraft.world.World)' is not public in 'net.minecraft.entity.projectile.ProjectileEntity'. Cannot be accessed from outside package

Thanks for the suggestion I tried it and the IDE gave me ^ that. To me this sounds like its not public in the class itself let alone extending classes. Regardless this seems like a mistake of some sort since it is highly unusual to not have a modifier.

 

[Iron1601]

So I have to piggyback off of some other class and override its methods and logic? If so, why?

[Iron1601]

Indeed that is the last resort though I haven't managed to get the formatting down. F.e how do I express "EntityType<? extends [class name]> or a return type of void?

[Iron1601]

I have seen, and following that I made

public net.minecraft.entity.projectile.ProjectileEntity(Lnet/minecraft/entity/EntityType; Lnet/minecraft/world/World)

Which doesn't seem to work; still fails at runtime.

What I sent was the "Could not resolve net.minecraftforge:forge:1.16.4...." 

This is the :compileJava Error

[Iron1601]

I would imagine this means there is something wrong with the line since puttin a space between the "private com.example.examplemod" and the "<init>" fixes it.

I guess this means there is some syntax problem with

Same error on both to be clear

 

I see now it says "Syntax error" so I guess there's that but what error?

Edited February 16, 2021 by Iron1601

[Iron1601]

The log was of the examplemod of the mdk to have a control test and the same exact errors came up in both i checked

Also I AT'd my own mod so it wont screw up anything else that might be used somewhere else

Edited February 16, 2021 by Iron1601

[Iron1601]

Im confident you can AT your own mod so long as you dont actively mess something up.

My entire AT is the one line

Not sure what an update error log is? updated?

[Iron1601]

Excuse me if i'm jumping to conclusions or if this is wrong but removing the (Lnet/minecraft/entity/EntityType;Lnet/minecraft/world/World;)

fixes the error but just nerfs the AT so now it just doesn't compile

[Iron1601]

What's the return type of a constructor? stack overflow says void which by the forge docs means that no return type is needed?

 

And yes I agree there is no reason to AT your code but this was just a temporary measure just to not cause any other errors.

 

This is the :comileJava error message I'm assuming that's what you mean. I cant really find any log file in the run/logs or logs  folders that seems relevant.

No idea why the docs say that, it is not true

So I do need a return type in the AT.

What?

I made a new project to make sure the only things that could be a problem was the AT and AT'd the Mod class to not mess with minecraft or forge's internal libraries. In general I don't think that matters a whole lot since that doesn't seem to be the problem.

I'm looking to make the constructor of ProjectileEntity public or at least protected and im getting

which to me means that there is a syntax error.  I haven't managed to locate the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Iron1601]

I meant the AT'd mod class wasn't the problem, the AT is almost certainly the problem. Excuse me if that wasn't clear. I would imagine this is a solvable problem just by someone that knows the syntax.

With your context clues, other AT's and patience I found this working.
