ServerAdditionsUtil

A utility that allows for easy server-side-only additions to the game.

This project is still very much a work in progress and as such nothing is final! Literally everything is still subject to major changes!

Maven

repositories {
    maven { url "https://maven.extracraftx.com"}
}
dependencies {
    modCompile "com.extracraftx.minecraft:ServerAdditionsUtil:{VERSION}"
}

Note: only versions 0.0.9 and above are available on this repository. For versions without sources/javadocs, look here.

Usage

For basic usage, simply create new instances of or extend ServerSideBlock, ServerSideBlockItem and ServerSideItem. The blocks/items created will be able to be used by unmodded clients. The names and recipes of these blocks/items should be specified just like any other blocks/items.

For more advanced usage, Blocks may implement the interface ClientBlockStateProvider and Items may implement the interface ClientItemStackProvider. This should have the same effect.

You may also take a look at the testing branch of this repository to see an example implementation.

Known issues

There are still many issues, but here are some that I already know of:

• Picking up an item stack of a modded item in the creative inventory turns the item into what the client actually sees (WIP)
• Just opening the creative inventory while in possesion of a modded block renders the block useless (WIP)
• Picking a block (middle click) in creative just gives you the vanilla version
• Using the added blocks/items in commands doesn't allow for auto-complete (WIP)
• Blocks with different strength to their representation don't have correct progress on client who's breaking block (Partially solved, glitchy, probably impossible to fully solve)

Features being considered

• Allow blocks/items to be displayed without the vanilla variant on clients with the mod installed
• Support server resource packs for language and custom textures
