[Custom Stats 1.14.3]

For anyone searching for this, I managed to get it working in 1.15.2 with this code:

public static final ResourceLocation INTERACT_WITH_SHIP_CONTROLLER = registerCustomStat("interact_with_ship_controller");
	
private static ResourceLocation registerCustomStat(String name) {
  ResourceLocation resourcelocation = new ResourceLocation(MOD_ID, name);
  Registry.register(Registry.CUSTOM_STAT, name, resourcelocation);
  Stats.CUSTOM.get(resourcelocation, IStatFormatter.DEFAULT);
  return resourcelocation;
}

 

You can then increase the stat:

player.addStat(Registry.INTERACT_WITH_SHIP_CONTROLLER);

 

Don't forget to localize it so it has a name in the stat list:

"stat.sol.interact_with_ship_controller": "Interactions with Ship Controller"

 

For fun, you can track your new stat with these commands:

/scoreboard objectives add stat minecraft.custom:minecraft.interact_with_ship_controller
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar stat

 

[Integration of Custom Stairs]

You can do this:

public class ModBlocks {

    @GameRegistry.ObjectHolder("modtut:firstblock")
    public static FirstBlock firstBlock;
}

[[Solved] Where to put render code for spheres]

I want to render planets in a space dimension, but don't know where to put the code to do that. Is RenderTickEvent what I want?

I found this pretty helpful, but I don't want it to depend on blocks: http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-tessellator-and-worldrenderer-18.html

This is what I have so far:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber
public class EventHandler {

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void renderTick(RenderTickEvent event) {
		if (Minecraft.getMinecraft().currentScreen != null) {
			return;
		}
		if (event.phase==Phase.START) {
			// render sphere .obj
		}

}

EDIT:

Turns out RenderTickEvent isn't the right event. Using RenderWorldLastEvent worked.

[How can I move Blocks and Entities to another dimension?]

I want to make a spaceship that can teleport from earth to a space dimensions with all blocks and entities it's made of. What is the best way of doing that?

[Render an obj model on an entity]

I got something to work, I now have an entity that renders an obj model. How can I make it textured? I tried setting the map in the .mtl file, but it always gives me the error texture.

newmtl None
Ka 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Kd 0.8 0.8 0.8
Ks 0.8 0.8 0.8
d 1
map_Kd What to put here?

 

The forge wiki states

The .mtl file will probably have to be manually edited to change the paths pointing to textures into Minecraft ResourceLocations.

But when I put in "minecraft:stone" or "mymod:mytexture" it doesn't work either.

 

Never mind, I just read the "Resources" page of the forg e wiki and figured it out: "minecraft:stone" should be "minecraft:blocks/stone". I still can't get my own textures to work...

[Render an obj model on an entity]

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I need.

[Render an obj model on an entity]

1 hour ago, Cadiboo said:

This approach involves baking the model and registering neccesary textures

And that's where I'm struggling...

OBJLoader.INSTANCE.addDomain(MOD_ID);
OBJLoader.INSTANCE.onResourceManagerReload(Minecraft.getMinecraft().getResourceManager());
IModel model = OBJLoader.INSTANCE.loadModel(new ResourceLocation(MOD_ID, "models/cube.obj"));
//model.bake(state, format, bakedTextureGetter) ?

@Override
public void doRender(Entity entity, double x, double y, double z, float entityYaw, float partialTicks) {
	// what to put in here?
}

Or is this the better way?

@Override
public void doRender(Entity entity, double x, double y, double z, float entityYaw, float partialTicks) {
TileEntityRendererDispatcher.instance.render(MY_TILE_ENTITY, x, y, z, 0);
}

 

[Render an obj model on an entity]

I only found tutorials about rendering obj models as items, armor or blocks. How can I make an entity use an obj? I have a net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.Render ready to go.

[Get Item from id ("minecraft:stone" for example)]

I need to find an item by its id for when I load recipes from json. How can I do that?

[Tile data of chest is empty]

Yeah, I didn't notice it was nullable. Fixed.

[Tile data of chest is empty]

What do I have to give the getCapability function?

This doesn't work: container.getCapability(IItemHandler.class, EnumFacing.EAST);

 

EDIT:

Got it.

container.getCapability(CapabilityItemHandler.ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY, EnumFacing.EAST);

[Tile data of chest is empty]

I want to pass the data to the ItemStackHelper to get the items it contains.

ItemStackHelper.loadAllItems(container.getTileData(), items);

[Tile data of chest is empty]

I have this problem that when I get the tile data of a chest it is empty. I use world.getTileEntity(pos).getTileData(), and that works on one of my custom ones, which looks like this: "{built:1b,multiblock:"test.json",multiblockcenter:[I;-906,5,310]}", but if I print the chest data it is empty ("{}").

Why is that?

[How to avoid BlockBase, ItemBase etc?]

Thanks for the answer! My only question left is: Why do so many mods still use this method if it means tons of copied code and many inconveniences?

[How to avoid BlockBase, ItemBase etc?]

I recently looked at the common issues and recommendations and saw why base classes are bad. I can't seem to find any mod that has no ItemBase and BlockBase classes. How would I do it differently?

[How to make a 3x3 tile entity?]

That worked pretty good!

Here is a terrible choppy video of it working.

[How to make a 3x3 tile entity?]

Should I use tile entities for that? Or are normal block sufficient, for the non-core blocks at least?

Then you need way more.

There is no way around this, you MUST place a block in each of the 27 occupied places otherwise all kinds of things get screwed up, like players falling on it or mobs trying to pathfind over it.

Could I make a block that if placed creates a 3x3 block around itself, and if broken deconstructs it again?

[How to make a 3x3 tile entity?]

How would I go about making a 3x3 block that you can place and break like a normal one? I looked into tile entities and got one to work, but how can I make it occupy nine blocks? I also looked at how the bed does it, and it looks like what I need, but that are only two parts. Mine has way more.
