Usage
Registering
If you want to set translations, models, recipes, you should use the methodregisterAndBuild() first.
Otherwise, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
Item
Portal: PCItemRegister
You can use the class PCItemRegister.java andPCBlockItemRegister.java to register items and block items.
Below are some examples:
public static final Item ITEM1 = PCItemRegister.create(MOD_ID, "item1") // Creat the item with the given Identifier
// Register and build
.registerAndBuild()
// Create the recipe for the item
.shapedRecipe(PCShapedRecipe.Builder.create()
.pattern("***")
.pattern("***")
.pattern(" # ")
.definition('*', Items.ACACIA_PLANKS)
.definition('#', Items.ACACIA_BUTTON)
.category(RecipeCategory.BUILDING_BLOCKS)
.criterion("has_item", Items.ACACIA_PLANKS)
.count(4)
.build()
)
// Add translations.
.translate(Language.EN_US, "Test Item1")
.translate(Language.ZH_CN, "测试物品1")
// Set the model of the item.
.model(Models.GENERATED)
// Return the item to be registered.
.get();
public static final Item ITEM2 = PCItemRegister.create(MOD_ID, "item2")
.registerAndBuild()
.shapelessRecipe(PCShapelessRecipe.Builder.create()
.category(RecipeCategory.BUILDING_BLOCKS)
.input(ItemTags.PLANKS)
.input(ItemTags.BUTTONS)
.input(Items.IRON_INGOT)
.count(4)
.criterion("has_planks", Items.IRON_INGOT)
.build()
)
.translate(Language.EN_US, "Test Item2")
.translate(Language.ZH_CN, "测试物品2")
.model(Models.GENERATED)
.get();
public static final Item BLOCK_ITEM = PCBlockItemRegister.create(BLOCK)
.settings(new Item.Settings()
.maxCount(16)
.fireproof()
.rarity(Rarity.COMMON)
)
.registerAndBuild()
.shapelessRecipe(PCShapelessRecipe.Builder.create()
.category(RecipeCategory.BUILDING_BLOCKS)
.input(ItemTags.PLANKS)
.input(ItemTags.BUTTONS)
.input(Items.IRON_INGOT)
.count(4)
.criterion("has_planks", Items.IRON_INGOT)
.build()
)
.get();
Blocks
Portal: PCBlockRegister
You can use the class PCBlockRegister.java to register blocks.
Below are some examples:
public static final Block BLOCK = PCBlockRegister.create(MOD_ID, "block1")
.settings(AbstractBlock.Settings.create()
.burnable()
.mapColor(DyeColor.BROWN)
.hardness(1.0f)
)
.registerAndBuild()
.translate(Language.EN_US, "Test Block1")
.translate(Language.ZH_CN, "测试方块1")
.simpleCubeAll()
.get();
Item Groups
Portal: PCItemGroupRegister
You can use the class PCItemGroupRegister.java to register item groups.
Below are some examples:
public static final ItemGroup ITEM_GROUP1 = PCItemGroupRegister.create(MOD_ID, "item_group1")
.itemGroupBuilder(ItemGroup.create(ItemGroup.Row.BOTTOM, 7)
.icon(() -> new ItemStack(Items.DIAMOND))
.entries(
(text, entries) -> {
entries.add(ModItems.ITEM1);
entries.add(ModBlocks.BLOCK);
}
)
)
.registerAndBuild()
.translate(Language.EN_US, "Test ItemGroup 1")
.translate(Language.ZH_CN, "测试物品组1")
.get();
Tags
Portal: PCItemTagKeyRegister
The mod provides ways to register ItemTag and BlockTag
by using the class PCItemTagKeyRegister.java and PCBlockTagKeyRegister.java.
Before you use the method registerAndBuild(), you should use the method add() to add things at least once.
Below is an example for registering ItemTag:
public static final TagKey<Item> TAG_KEY_1 = PCItemTagKeyRegister.create(MOD_ID, "tag/tag1")
.add(ModItems.ITEM1)
.add(ModItems.ITEM2)
.registerAndBuild()
.get();
Below is an example for registering BlockTag:
public static final TagKey<Block> BLOCK_TAG = PCBlockTagKeyRegister.create(MOD_ID, "tag/block_tag")
.add(ModBlocks.BLOCK)
.registerAndBuild()
.get();
Both PCItemTagKeyRegister and PCBlockTagKeyRegister provide a method createForVanilla(TagKey vanillaTagKey) for creating
a PCItemTagKeyRegister and PCBlockTagKeyRegister from a vanilla tag.
Below are some examples:
public static final TagKey<Block> VANILLA_NEED_IRON_TOOLS_TAG =
PCBlockTagKeyRegister.createForVanilla(BlockTags.NEEDS_IRON_TOOL)
.addBlock(ModBlocks.PC_BLOCK)
.registerAndBuild()
.get();
public static final TagKey<Block> VANILLA_PICKAXE_TAG =
PCBlockTagKeyRegister.createForVanilla(BlockTags.PICKAXE_MINEABLE)
.addBlock(ModBlocks.PC_BLOCK)
.registerAndBuild()
.get();
Recipes
Portal: PCShapedRecipe
& PCShapelessRecipe
The mod provides PCShapedRecipe.java and PCShapelessRecipe.java to set the recipes for the item.
Below are some usages:
- Create a shaped recipe by
PCShapedRecipe.java:public static final PCShapedRecipe SHAPED_RECIPE = PCShapedRecipe.Builder.create() .pattern("***") .pattern("***") .pattern(" # ") .definition('*', Items.ACACIA_PLANKS) .definition('#', Items.ACACIA_BUTTON) .category(RecipeCategory.BUILDING_BLOCKS) .criterion("has_item", Items.ACACIA_PLANKS) .count(4) .build(); - Create a shapeless recipe by
PCShapelessRecipe.java:public static final PCShapelessRecipe SHAPELESS_RECIPE = PCShapelessRecipe.Builder.create() .category(RecipeCategory.BUILDING_BLOCKS) .input(ItemTags.PLANKS) .input(ItemTags.BUTTONS) .input(Items.IRON_INGOT) .count(4) .criterion("has_planks", Items.IRON_INGOT) .build();
Model
The registers provide ways to set the model of the item.
For items:
You can use the method model(Model model)
in the class PCItemRegister.java to set the model of the item.
For blocks:
The mod only provide the method simpleCubeAll()
in the class PCBlockRegister.java to set the cube all model of the block.
Data Generation
The mod provides some DataProviderFactory to get the data providers.
Language Provider
Portal: PCLanguageProvider
& PCLanguageProviderFactory
The mod provides the class PCTranslationProviderFactory.java to get the translation provider.
Use the PCLanguageProviderFactory.java to get specific language provider:
languageProvider(Language lang): Get a list ofFabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider>
of the provider for the given language.languagesProvider(Language... langs)&languagesProvider(List<Language> langs): Get a list ofFabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider>
of the provider for the given languages.allLanguagesProvider(): Get a list ofFabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider>
of the provider for all languages.
Below are some examples:
import java.util.List;
public class PiscesCupDevelopLibDataGenerator
implements DataGeneratorEntrypoint
{
@Override
public void onInitializeDataGenerator(FabricDataGenerator fabricDataGenerator) {
FabricDataGenerator.Pack pack = fabricDataGenerator.createPack();
PCLanguageProviderFactory.languagesProvider(Language.EN_US, Language.ZH_CN)
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
PCLanguageProviderFactory.allLanguagesProvider()
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
PCLanguageProviderFactory.languagesProvider(
List.of(Language.EN_US, Language.ZH_CN)
)
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
}
}
Model Provider
Portal: PCModelProvider
& PCModelProviderFactory
The mod provides the class PCModelProviderFactory.java to get the model provider.
Use the PCModelProviderFactory.java to get specific model provider:
modelProvider(): Get a list ofFabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider>
of the provider.
Below is an example:
public class PiscesCupDevelopLibDataGenerator
implements DataGeneratorEntrypoint
{
@Override
public void onInitializeDataGenerator(FabricDataGenerator fabricDataGenerator) {
FabricDataGenerator.Pack pack = fabricDataGenerator.createPack();
PCModelProviderFactory.modelProvider()
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
}
}
Recipe Provider
Portal: PCRecipeProvider
& PCRecipesProviderFactory
The mod provides the class PCRecipeProviderFactory.java to get the recipe provider.
Use the PCRecipeProviderFactory.java to get specific recipe provider:
recipesProvider(): Get a list ofFabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider>
of the provider.
Below is an example:
public class PiscesCupDevelopLibDataGenerator implements DataGeneratorEntrypoint {
@Override
public void onInitializeDataGenerator(FabricDataGenerator fabricDataGenerator) {
FabricDataGenerator.Pack pack = fabricDataGenerator.createPack();
PCRecipesProviderFactory.recipesProvider()
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
}
}
Tag Provider
Portal: PCBlockTagProviderFactory
& PCTagProviderFactory
The mod provides an enum class: PCTagProviderFactory.java. Its fields are the tag providers.
The method factories() of the fields can return a list ofFabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider> of the provider.
And then you can use the method forEach() to add the provider to the pack.
The enum class also provides a static method allTagProviderFactories()
, which can return a List of FabricDataGenerator.Pack.RegistryDependentFactory<DataProvider>
for all the tag providers.
Below is the example of the fields:
public class PiscesCupDevelopLibDataGenerator implements DataGeneratorEntrypoint {
@Override
public void onInitializeDataGenerator(FabricDataGenerator fabricDataGenerator) {
FabricDataGenerator.Pack pack = fabricDataGenerator.createPack();
PCTagProviderFactory.ITEM_TAG_PROVIDER.getFactories()
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
PCTagProviderFactory.BLOCK_TAG_PROVIDER.getFactories()
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
}
}
Below is an example of the static method allTagProviderFactories():
public class PiscesCupDevelopLibDataGenerator
implements DataGeneratorEntrypoint
{
@Override
public void onInitializeDataGenerator(FabricDataGenerator fabricDataGenerator) {
FabricDataGenerator.Pack pack = fabricDataGenerator.createPack();
PCTagProviderFactory.allTagProviderFactories()
.forEach(pack::addProvider);
}
}
