If people use properly formatted version compatibility strings, or the
default compiled in one, this will work exactly as before, but has
less dependence on specific formats for the mcversion string. So a mod
declaring [1.11, 1.12] will now be 1.12.1 compatible by default, for
example.
Moved Registry events to directly AFTER PreInit instead of before.
This allows modders to register handlers for it without @EventBusSubscriber.
It also allows you to register custom things needed before the construction of blocks or items such as Fluids.
TODO: Move Fluids to a real registry.
@ObjectHolder can now be used on private fields.
Reworked FMLModIdMappingEvent to include data for all registries.
Tile Entities are now registrable.
Tests do not run yet.
Things of note:
Removed the idea of substitutions, just register multiple items with the same name they will override each other like a normal map.
Decoupled Forge registries from vanilla classes. They now use bouncer classes. MODDERS SHOULD NEVER USE THESE
Introduced more stringent registry locking. As it sits things are only allowed to be registered during the RegistryEvent.Registry phases!
This is to force modders to split up their registrations, and pave the way for calling these functions multiple times during a single MC lifecycle.
ObjectHolder, Missing Mappings, etc... *should* now work for all registry types, nothing should be special cased to Blocks/Items anymore.
Added optional generic dummy factory to registries, to allow registry creators the ability to dummy more then just Blocks.
Re-worked the ItemStack transformer and applied it to ItemBlock and ItemBlockSpecial. Allowing us to cleanup reflective hacks in Block callbacks.
Registry onAdd callback is now only fired on the ACTIVE registry, fixing any issues of temp registries overriding active objects.
This will set the active mod container for events using the normal EventBus.
Fixes improper warnings from initializing mods using the new Registry events.
Modders, you should not use this as it has many performance implementations
and if abused will slow down the event bus A LOT. ActiveModContainer is not
thread safe.
Added detection of mods that rely on Java 8 and a graceful error screen.
The nag screen will be shown once a day. It can be disabled by editing the forge.cfg.
However it is HIGHLY recomended that user update to Java 8.
