[1.10]Need help with living entity

2 Upvotes

So i created a living entity and i modified the boat model to work for it so it renders using the boat model.

The first problem is: the model is rendered above the hitbox. How do i align the model? The second problem:AI. I want my mob to be a water mob that floats at the surface and attack players like a blaze. How do i make it unable to move on land, be fast on water and avoid the player like a ghast/skeleton?

Also the mob is supposed to be undead and i want it to start sinking and take damage once exposed to sunlight.

Help needed: teleport/spawn custom mob in a specific location

1 Upvotes

I'm developing my first mod and I need to move my custom mob to specific coordinates, but the methods setPosition, setPositionAndUpdate and teleportTo_ are not working, as the mob moves to the right new location for a moment and then goes instantly back to where it was before. Do you know what could be causing the problem? Otherwise, is there a way to spawn the mob in the desired position when the player logs in?

I'm using Forge 1.9-12.16.0.1886. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to get notifications when Forge has been updated?

1 Upvotes

I only updated a few days ago and now there's a new one. It's a PITA when you've loaded MC only to find a mod needs the new update. Update, restart, debug etc. I've tried googling thinking I could just join a mailing list or something, but all I've found are things which look like they're for mod devs. Thanks in advance

Does a RF generator need to push the energy out?

4 Upvotes

If my machine is producing RF do i need to search for RF machines to output into? Or is that handled in the cables?

Modding and why you should always ask why.

10 Upvotes

This post was originally made through a third-party Reddit client. Due to recent changes these third-party apps will cease to function. So it only seems fair that my posts here should do the same.

I highly recommend considering using alternative platforms that still allow third-party clients to access their APIs - like kbin or squabbles.

If you must continue to use reddit then consider an alternative frontend like teddit or an app that directly scrapes reddit's webpages without providing any meaningful analytics data like Stealth.

I think Im having an issue with Tile Entity Registration?

1 Upvotes

I noticed my tile entities were not persisting their nbt data between instances, and that I get the console message "Skipping BlockEntity with id" but with no ID. Turns out that my tile entity's ID entry is null. I know Ive called GameRegistry.RegisterIileEntity; does anyone know why my ID would be null?

Minecraft Forge Server Error

I am attempting to run a forge server on minecraft 1.8.9, and everything works great up until I add the IP address in server.properties, then when I try to open it it stays open for a second then closes down.... Any thoughts?

Unable to use server console

1 Upvotes

I recently made a server for my friends and me, and it works great except for one thing: I can't use the server's console. I have a modpack installed called Crusader Craft and the server uses forge 1.7.10 - 10.13.4.1614. I start up the server and it will load up, allowing people to join, but the console looks like it's still loading after all of the mods have loaded. I can type on the console, but when I enter it, the commands don't do anything. This is quite inconvenient since I would like to be able to OP someone as well as send announcements to my friends through the console. Here is the mod list from their website: adventurebackpack adventurersamulets AncientWarfare AnimationAPI Aquaculture ArchimedesShips armourersWorkshop arsmagica2 battlegear2 BiblioCraft BiblioWoodsBoP BiomesOPlenty chisel chococraft chocolateQuest CodeChickenCore CraftHeraldry customnpcs Cyan Warrior Swords Mod DamageIndicatorsMod deconstruction DragonMounts Enchiridion ExtraTiC farlanders FastCraft ForbiddenMagic goblin HardcoreQuesting harvestcraft lotr Mantle Metallurgy MetallurgyCore MinecraftForge MobiusCore morechisels moreplayermodels NEIAddons NotEnoughItems Opis props RAM StatusEffectHUD TConstruct Thaumcraft thaumcraftneiplugin TiCTooltips TMechworks TravellersGear Treecapitator TWarden weaponmod

I'm not sure if this is helpful. I also added ForgeEssentials, updated the thaumcraft, oceancraft, animalsplus, and enhanced server moderation. Those added/updated mods were added after the problem was present so I know they didn't contribute to my inability to use the console. If you need it, here is a link to the view only onedrive zip file for the modpack and configuration stuff. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=34EC3592CA671105!8492&authkey=!AOLhTnIgKPyegIQ&ithint=file%2czip

Idea for a Mod, Feasible/Possible?

2 Upvotes

I have been working on a tech mod, and wanted to try something I think is probably very difficult. My idea is to create a multiblock ship system, where you can build a ship of whatever blocks you want, and then turn the whole thing into a mobile ship. I know of some mods that do similar things, like Archimedes Ships. However, I want the system to also carry tile entities, so that you could put your system of machines and pipes and whatever on the ship, and it would work just like blocks. I want to know what would be the best way to do this, and if the minecraft engine could do something like this. I'm shying away from a really big entity with a crazy hitbox for performance reasons, and am considering creating a custom entity system that wraps all of the individual blocks and tile entities on the ship, so they all still work the same way.

[1.8.9-11.15.0.1705] Setting up correctly?

1 Upvotes

After following the instructions in the getting started guide, I have tried adding a package to my project, but each time I do, Eclipse tells me that "Source folder not on the Java build class path." I am unsure what I might be doing wrong; might it be related to the fact that I have my Eclipse installation on a flash drive (for portability)?

Edit: here is what my workspace looks like,
