How can I add multiple rotated blocks onto a single metadata block?

Hey guys.

 

The main thing I'm struggling with in this is how to phrase my onBlockPlacedBy method.

Right now, I have a single block in here, using 4 metadata- one for each of the four directions it can face:

 

    public void onBlockPlacedBy(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityLivingBase par5EntityLivingBase, ItemStack par6ItemStack)
    {
        int l = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(par5EntityLivingBase.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 2.5D) & 3;
        par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, l, 2);

	if (l == 0) {
		par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 0, 0);
	}

	if (l == 1) {
		par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 1, 0);
	}

	if (l == 2) {
		par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 2, 0);
	}

	if (l == 3) {
		par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 3, 0);
	}
}	

 

This then gets read by the Renderer (It's a modelled block), Like so:

 

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double x, double y, double z, float scale) {
	int i = te.getBlockMetadata();
	int meta = 180;

	if (i == 0) {
		meta = 0;
	}

	if (i == 3) {
		meta = 90;
	}

	if (i == 2) {
		meta = 180;
	}

	if (i == 1) {
		meta = 270;
	}

 

Now, the renderer part I can easily change to read different metas, and set the various metadatas to one of the four directions.

 

What I can't quite work out, is how I can seperately define the four different blocks in my onBlockPlacedBy, and then set the meta depending on each of their directions. Does that make sense at all? :P

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction? (No pun intended)

Are you after a setup like this?

 

meta 0 = block 1 north

meta 1 = block 1 south

meta 2 = block 1 east

meta 3 = block 1 west

 

meta 4 = block 2 north

meta 5 = block 2 south

meta 6 = block 2 east

meta 7 = block 2 west

 

meta 8 = block 3 north

meta 9 = block 3 south

meta 10 = block 3 east

meta 11 = block 3 west

 

meta 12 = block 4 north

meta 13 = block 4 south

meta 14 = block 4 east

meta 15 = block 4 west

Yeah, that's exactly what I want. But if I try and do something along the lines of:

if (l == 0 && meta == 1) {

par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 0, 0);

}

                //(and so on)

 

It breaks my render code altogether. :(

Give this a go.

 

@Override
public void onBlockPlacedBy(World world, int x, int y, int z, EntityLivingBase entityliving, ItemStack itemStack)
{
    int blockSet = world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) / 4;
    int direction = MathHelper.floor_double((entityliving.rotationYaw * 4F) / 360F + 0.5D) & 3;
    int newMeta = (blockSet * 4) + direction;
    world.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, newMeta, 0);
}

 

 

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double x, double y, double z, float scale)
{
    int rotation = 180;
    switch(te.getBlockMetadata() % 4) {
        case 0:
            rotation = 0;
            break;
        case 3:
            rotation = 90;
            break;
        case 2:
            rotation = 180;
            break;
        case 1:
            rotation = 270;
            break;
    }

    String texture = "textures/entities/atm.png";
    switch(te.getBlockMetadata() / 4) {
        case 0:
            texture = "blockset1";
            break;
        case 1:
            texture = "blockset2";
            break;
        case 2:
            texture = "blockset3";
            break;
        case 3:
            texture = "blockset4";
            break;
    }

    Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.func_110577_a(new ResourceLocation("flenixcities", texture));

    // rest of your renderer
}

Worked perfectly. Now I just gotta figure out how to restrict creative tabs to just the four meta so I don't have all the rotations in there :P This will save me on a lot of IDs though, especially if I can figure out how to change the model with meta too.

 

Thanks :D

@Override
public void getSubBlocks(int id, CreativeTabs tab, List list)
{
    list.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 0));
    list.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 4));
    list.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, );
    list.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, 12));
}

 

 

You already have a tile entity, you can do everything without touching meta.

 

you could store the rotation in the tileentity and use the metas for 16 atms  (limits you to 16 atms)

or put the atm in the tile entity and use meta 0-3 for rotation (limit is based on variable type, go ahead an fill an int ;) )

or put both type and rotation in the tile freeing up the meta for other stuff.

 

RedPower has its microblocks in one id due to heave tileentity usage.

I posted about doing that before, but no one could tell me how Redpower does it :P It'd be a huge bonus for me; the mod I'm working on here will have hundreds of modelled blocks, many of which are purely decorational or have very simple functions, so I could really cut down on IDs by using the tile entities :P

Redpower does some really heavy stuff with TileEntitys. I don't know how you can implement that in your mod, but if it's possible (I know that it's possible) and you figured it out, can you please post the code or point me to the right direction, cause that could really help my mod to use way less IDs than it now has...

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

Just took a look at your mod. Are you using TileEntites for the roads, or just future planned stuff?

If it's for the roads, I wouldn't recommend it. I tried it briefly in my FlenixRoads mod, but they de-render after a certain distance so I changed how I made them and ended up using more IDs than planned :P

I'm currently not using tile entitys for my road blocks, but I  think that there about 8 different blocks but with different directions. If I know how to use TileEntitys for the blocks (like Redpower does) I would be able to add more road blocks in a single id instead with more ids

You could try workign with NBT data. Similar to Tile Entities, items(which includes ItemBlocks) can store info as NBT data. You'd have to tap into the function that causes the block to drop and override it so it drops a custom ItemStack which then has a NBTTagCompound assigned to it containing necessary information. That's how ThermalExpansion, for instance, stores the charge and settings on Energy Cells and Tesseracts. With that, everything, including textures for the block can be done via the TileEntity and saved within the NBT of the dropped item, to be later recalled when the block is placed / the TileEntity is initialized.

So if I use that, I can have infinite blocks in 1 ID like Redpower does?

Well to be more precise its not infinite, but you can put a lot of similar blocks into one id.

 

Your extended meta is an integer this provides a very large meta range (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647)

as most will never need that many you can reduce the save size by switching to short (-32,768 to 32,767) or a byte (-128 to 127)

 

and if used in combination with the normal base meta you can times that by 16

 

You will run into a few limitations though

Not all functions are location aware.

In most cases they are at least meta aware, but sometimes they are not (this is rare though)

So best to keep similar blocks in one id and very similar ones in the same base meta

 

Damage value of the item is limited to an integer (I think positive only too)

So you can not have each extended meta have it own item, but you could have a stair like object using 8 extended metas and uses 1 item damage value.

So how would I implement that in my mod? Just let all the blocks I want to have in 1 ID create a new TileEntityExtendedMeta instance?

    • I'm developing a dimension, but it's kinda resource intensive so some times during player teleporting it lags behind making the player phase down into the void, so im trying to implement some kind of pregeneration to force the game loading a small set of chunks in the are the player will teleport to. Some of the things i've tried like using ServerLevel and ServerChunkCache methods like getChunk() dont actually trigger chunk generation if the chunk isn't already on persistent storage (already generated) or placing tickets, but that doesn't work either. Ideally i should be able to check when the task has ended too. I've peeked around some pregen engines, but they're too complex for my current understanding of the system of which I have just a basic understanding (how ServerLevel ,ServerChunkCache  and ChunkMap work) of. Any tips or other classes I should be looking into to understand how to do this correctly?

    • Way back in the Forge 1.17 days, work started for adding JPMS (Java Platform Module Support) to ModLauncher and ForgeModLoader. This has been used internally by Forge and some libraries for a while now, but mods (those with mods.toml specifically) have not been able to take advantage of it. As of Forge 1.21.1 and 1.21.3, this is now possible!   What is JPMS and what does it mean for modders? JPMS is the Java Platform Module System, introduced in Java 9. It allows you to define modules, which are collections of packages and resources that can be exported or hidden from other modules. This allows for much more fine-tuned control over visibility, cleaner syntax for service declarations and support for sealed types across packages. For example, you might have a mod with a module called `com.example.mod` that exports `com.example.mod.api` and `com.example.mod.impl` to other mods, but hides `com.example.mod.internal` from them. This would allow you to have a clean API for other mods to use, while keeping your internal implementation details hidden from IDE hints, helping prevent accidental usage of internals that might break without prior notice. This is particularly useful if you'd like to use public records with module-private constructors or partially module-private record components, as you can create a sealed interface that only your record implements, having the interface be exported and the record hidden. It's also nice for declaring and using services, as you'll get compile-time errors from the Java compiler for typos and the like, rather than deferring to runtime errors. In more advanced cases, you can also have public methods that are only accessible to specific other modules -- handy if you want internal interactions between multiple of your own mods.   How do I bypass it? We understand there may be drama in implementing a system that prevents mods from accessing each other's internals when necessary (like when a mod is abandoned or you need to fix a compat issue) -- after all, we are already modding a game that doesn't have explicit support for Java mods yet. We have already thought of this and are offering APIs from day one to selectively bypass module restrictions. Let me be clear: Forge mods are not required to use JPMS. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to. The default behaviour is to have fully open, fully exported automatic modules. In Java, you can use the `Add-Opens` and `Add-Exports` manifest attributes to selectively bypass module restrictions of other mods at launch time, and we've added explicit support for these when loading your Forge mods. At compile-time, you can use existing solutions such as the extra-java-module-info Gradle plugin to deal with non-modular dependencies and add extra opens and exports to other modules. Here's an example on how to make the internal package `com.example.examplemod.internal` open to your mod in your build.gradle: tasks.named('jar', Jar) { manifest { attributes([ 'Add-Opens' : 'com.example.examplemod/com.example.examplemod.internal' 'Specification-Title' : mod_id, 'Specification-Vendor' : mod_authors // (...) ]) } } With the above in your mod's jar manifest, you can now reflectively access the classes inside that internal package. Multiple entries are separated with a space, as per Java's official spec. You can also use Add-Exports to directly call without reflection, however you'd need to use the Gradle plugin mentioned earlier to be able to compile. The syntax for Add-Exports is the same as Add-Opens, and instructions for the compile-time step with the Gradle plugin are detailed later in this post. Remember to prefer the opens and exports keywords inside module-info.java for sources you control. The Add-Opens/Add-Exports attributes are only intended for forcing open other mods.   What else is new with module support? Previously, the runtime module name was always forced to the first mod ID in your `mods.toml` file and all packages were forced fully open and exported. Module names are now distinguished from mod IDs, meaning the module name in your module-info.java can be different from the mod ID in your `mods.toml`. This allows you to have a more descriptive module name that doesn't have to be the same as your mod ID, however we strongly recommend including your mod ID as part of your module name to aid troubleshooting. The `Automatic-Module-Name` manifest attribute is now also honoured, allowing you to specify a module name for your mod without needing to create a `module-info.java` file. This is particularly useful for mods that don't care about JPMS features but want to have a more descriptive module name and easier integration with other mods that do use JPMS.   How do I use it? The first step is to create a `module-info.java` file in your mod's source directory. This file should be in the same package as your main mod class, and should look something like this: open module com.example.examplemod { requires net.minecraftforge.eventbus; requires net.minecraftforge.fmlcore; requires net.minecraftforge.forge; requires net.minecraftforge.javafmlmod; requires net.minecraftforge.mergetool.api; requires org.slf4j; requires logging; } For now, we're leaving the whole module open to reflection, which is a good starting point. When we know we want to close something off, we can remove the open modifier from the module and open or export individual packages instead. Remember that you need to be open to Forge (module name net.minecraftforge.forge), otherwise it can't call your mod's constructor. Next is fixing modules in Gradle. While Forge and Java support modules properly, Gradle does not put automatic modules on the module path by default, meaning that the logging module (from com.mojang:logging) is not found. To fix this, add the Gradle plugin and add a compile-time module definition for that Mojang library: plugins { // (...) id 'org.gradlex.extra-java-module-info' version "1.9" } // (...) extraJavaModuleInfo { failOnMissingModuleInfo = false automaticModule("com.mojang:logging", "logging") } The automatic module override specified in your build.gradle should match the runtime one to avoid errors. You can do the same for any library or mod dependency that is missing either a module-info or explicit Automatic-Module-Name, however be aware that you may need to update your mod once said library adds one. That's all you need to get started with module support in your mods. You can learn more about modules and how to use them at dev.java.
