Register blocks while loading (or joining) a world

Recommended Posts

I'm making a mod with randomly generated blocks, so I need them to be registered just before entering a world. This way I can use the world seed as the seed for my generation code. Otherwise block id's are going to get screwed up, especially with multiplayer worlds.

 

When are blocks registered, and is there any way for me to do this?

Would it be possible to do that? I mean, if that were the case, we wouldn't really have an issue with Block ID's at all. We could just have one Block class, and just modify it's properties to be any other block. I think I need them to be registered because they will be used in crafting recipes and such. I can't imagine being able to keep track of all the properties as they move around.

The goal is to add more ores by randomly generating the base values of the ore (Harvest level, name, resistance, the strength of tools and armor, etc.) and also giving them "magical" effects similar to ARPGs like Diablo and Torchlight. I can already take a lot of effects from potions and enchantments, but I also plan to add other effects which are still a little nebulous at the moment. I should be getting some people together to plan the effects and rarities out this week; I just started writing intial backend code yesterday.

 

I think I see what you're saying, I can use up a few IDs just for the things that need to be changed at registration, and I think the rest I can allow variation in the code. I just need to worry about how they are going to stack in inventory and stuff like that. Also, they probably won't show up in the creative menu, and giving yourself an item through commands would be totally random. But I think that that's a reasonable price to pay to not use an absurd amount of Block IDs.

 

Hopefully that explains a little bit about what I'm trying to do, I tend to ramble a lot when I explain things like this.

 

EDIT: Also, what exactly are NBT values? Is there somewhere I can go to learn more about how to use them in Minecraft? I've only just started modding Minecraft, so I'm still getting the hang of how things work.

NBTs are Minecraft's in-game storage format, and you can use a TileEntity (not sure about blocks) to save data directly to them. So you really only need one block, and all the properties can be set via NBT.

Protip: try and find answers yourself before asking on the forum.

It's pretty likely that there is an answer.

 

Was I helpful? Give me a thank you!

Tired of waiting for mods to port to bukkit?

use BukkitForge! (now with a working version of WorldEdit!)

    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
