When combined with @Optional this should address all issues of soft dependancy on mods/apis.
This also addresses the issue of dynamic functionality in TileEntities/Entities.
Current capability providers: TileEntity, Entity, ItemStack
Also added INBTSerializeable, a generic interface for game objects that can be written to/from NBT tags.
Vanilla capabilities will be coming soon, mostly on request and review.
So start requesting capabiliteis on vanilla/Forge features.
Entry point: ModelLoaderRegistry
loader interface: ICustomModelLoader
custom model: IModel
ModelLoader is responsible for splicing into vanilla model system.
(you probably don't need to use it directly)
Interop with vanilla models isn't great yet
(vanilla models can't refer to custom ones as parents), will improve in
the future.
Includes loader for B3D models, with animation support
(net.minecraftforge.client.model.b3d).
Blender export plugin with compatible coordinate system:
https://github.com/RainWarrior/B3DExport
OBJ loader is being written, will be included at some point in the
future. For now you can convert OBJ to B3D via blender, or wait.
Some notes:
Almost all int x, int y, int z parameters have been changed to BlockPos class
ForgeDirection has been removed, replaced by net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing.
All FML classes have moved from packet cpw.mods.fml to net.minecraftforge.fml
Fluid Rendering has been disabled for the time being, to be re-evaulated and a test mod created for it.
Minecraft now uses a Model based system for rendering blocks and Items. The intention is to expand the model format to better suit modder's needed once it is evaulated.
As such, The model loaders from Forge have been removed, to be replaced by expanding vanilla's model format.
Metadata has been extracted out in Minecraft to IBlockState, which holds a list of properties instead of magic number metadata. DO NOT listen to the fearmongering, you can do EVERYTHING with block states you could previously with metadata.
Stencil Bits are disabled entirely by for the main Display, Modders must enable and recreate the FrameBuffer if they wish to use Stencil Bits.
* Added ability to AnvilUpdateEvent to alter stackSizeToBeUsedInRepair (vanilla behavior is now reproducable)
* Added AnvilRepairEvent, fired when the player removes an ItemStack from the output slot of ContainerRepair, and allows the chance to damage the anvil to be altered.
When a player triggers a chunk load via walking around or teleporting
there is no need to stop everything and get this chunk on the main thread.
The client is used to having to wait some time for this chunk and the
server doesn't immediately do anything with it except send it to the
player. At the same time chunk loading is the last major source of file IO
that still runs on the main thread.
These two facts make it possible to offload chunks loaded for this reason
to another thread. However, not all parts of chunk loading can happen off
the main thread. For this we use the new AsynchronousExecutor system to
split chunk loading in to three pieces. The first is loading data from
disk, decompressing it, and parsing it in to an NBT structure. The second
piece is creating entities and tile entities in the chunk and adding them
to the world, this is still done on the main thread. The third piece is
informing everyone who requested a chunk load that the load is finished.
For this we register callbacks and then run them on the main thread once
the previous two stages are finished.
There are still cases where a chunk is needed immediately and these will
still trigger chunk loading entirely on the main thread. The most obvious
case is plugins using the API to request a chunk load. We also must load
the chunk immediately when something in the world tries to access it. In
these cases we ignore any possibly pending or in progress chunk loading
that is happening asynchronously as we will have the chunk loaded by the
time they are finished.
The hope is that overall this system will result in less CPU time and
pauses due to blocking file IO on the main thread thus giving more
consistent performance. Testing so far has shown that this also speeds up
chunk loading client side although some of this is likely to be because
we are sending less chunks at once for the client to process.
Thanks for ammaraskar for help with the implementation of this feature.
