API is just an exposed methods and interfaces. Can you specify what you want to do with your API.

If my post helped you, please press that "Thank You"-button to show your appreciation.

 

Also if you don't know Java, I would suggest you read the official tutorials by Oracle to get an idea of how to do this. Thanks, and good modding!

 

Also if you haven't, set up a Git repo for your mod not only for convinience but also to make it easier to help you.

First up:

Anything you can do with IMC messages, do with IMC messages.  You can get really far with this alone if you work hard enough.  While an IMC message types only have 1 message that passes ItemStacks (and only a single stack), you can get more information across than that using the NBT method (as ItemStacks can be converted to NBT data and back again).

 

That said, there may be more complex information that isn't encodable via messages, such as interfaces or recipe lookups.  In order to do anything with your API you need to know what it is that you want from your API.

 

My best advice would be that whatever your API does, use your own API in your own code.  This is the best way to insuring that your API functions correctly.  Secondly, if you ever need to change your API, mark the old methods as @deprecated and leave them in there, even if they do nothing.  The worst thing you can do is have a mod use your API and go dormant (i.e. no longer getting updates for whatever reason) and then you change your API around and delete things or move things.  Now that mod will crash trying to use your new API and people will complain to that mod's author, not you, which will make them very upset.

 

Finally, take a look at some other mods' APIs.  Here's one of mine, which I modeled on Mystcraft's approach, as I really liked that approach.  Inside HardLibAPI are some static objects (set to null) which would be instanced by my mod when run.  The interfaces give visibility to what methods are available (including documentation), without having to supply any actual code.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

my api would allow users to create addons, custom mobs, items, and crafting recipes, same way as lucky block mod works :)

Then you should go look at how Lucky Blocks API works.

      [1.20.4] Apply nausea wobble effect to the screen outside Nausea effect

      By chxr · Posted

      So i know for a fact this has been asked before but Render stuff troubles me a little and i didnt find any answer for recent version. I have a custom nausea effect. Currently i add both my nausea effect and the vanilla one for the effect. But the problem is that when I open the inventory, both are listed, while I'd only want mine to show up (both in the inv and on the GUI)   I've arrived to the GameRender (on joined/net/minecraft/client) and also found shaders on client-extra/assets/minecraft/shaders/post and client-extra/assets/minecraft/shaders/program but I'm lost. I understand that its like a regular screen, where I'd render stuff "over" the game depending on data on the server, but If someone could point to the right client and server classes that i can read to see how i can manage this or any tip would be apreciated
