Yet another request involving barrels...

[candid spear]

Basically, i need a mod that add two things for my playthroughs with my friend @past tide

• Make barrels keep its items inside when broken (like a shulker box);
• Allow them to be equipped on the back just like Shulker Box Slot

Don't ask

[brave viper]

Two part:

1. Mixin to BarrelBlock
2. Tag to mark barrels as equipable

[normal maple]

u made it or not?

[normal maple]

what version

[candid spear]

1.21

[normal maple]

alr

[brave viper]

Nope, go for it.

[normal maple]

i cant even find the barrel source code ;-;

go to mod dev 1

[candid spear]

any updates? @normal maple

[normal maple]

i couldnt do it sorry

i might work on it further ut rn not really

[candid spear]

i understand

i know he's mainly on client-side stuff, but maybe @median berry could have interest

[near stag]

i might try this later today, im a little busy rn but wont be later !

[candid spear]

thanks a lot

[near stag]

should it be equiped in the chestplate slot or seperately, on the back ?

[candid spear]

on the back (via Trinkets)

[near stag]

oki !

[candid spear]

Same slot that this mod makes Shulker Boxes to be equipped
https://modrinth.com/mod/shulker-box-slot

i think its "Back"

[near stag]

kk !

[candid spear]

any news? @near stag

[near stag]

i got a bit busy but im starting to wrok on it now

[near stag]

ive got the shulkerbox part working !

the part where it works like a shulker box

[near stag]

ive finished it !

im uploading it to github

and can upload it to modrinth if you want

and might make it render a barrel on your back tmrw

here it is ! https://github.com/z3roco01/retainingBarrels

[austere timber]

Can you put simple readme

[candid spear]

Thanks a lot for this!!

[candid spear]

oh please

and if possible add a hotkey to open the barrel without the need to unload it

[candid spear]

if possible please

[near stag]

finished that !

[near stag]

ill make some sort of icon then upload it, then ill start on the other things

[near stag]

rn im tweaking the rendering, then ill add the keybind !

[near stag]

now im adding the keybind !

[candid spear]

Thank you so much @near stag

[near stag]

ofc !

[candid spear]

By chance, when you finish this mod, could you give a chance for #1257908782785232986 as well?

I visualized that very similar to this barrel revamp (a counterpart of shulker boxes too)

Unfortunately people don't understood it and the implementation another mod did was hugely needed

Ops *nerfed

[near stag]

yea i can take a look at it !

[near stag]

for the keybind i need to do some networking i think and ive never done that so its gonna take a bit more time

yea idk if i can do it, i dont think i have enough knowledge of networking

but ive put the current version up on modrinth, its under review rn ! https://modrinth.com/mod/retaining-barrels/

[candid spear]

You can check shulker box slot to see how it was implemented

[near stag]

kk ill check it out

[candid spear]

oh wait i edited the last message. its meaning was whole opposite i was meant

🤬 smartphone corrector

[candid spear]

https://github.com/illusivesoulworks/shulkerboxslot

pay attention that that mod is on 1.20.1 yet

dont know how much this part changed between 1.20.1 and 1.21

and maybe @brave viper can help you in this part as well

[near stag]

i think its changed a decent bit from 1.20 to 1.21 so most of that code isnt of use

[candid spear]

oh

[near stag]

i might be able to figure it out tho idk

[candid spear]

maybe try asking in #1212018757791252540

[near stag]

wait i think i got it, i got the packet working

[near stag]

ive got it opening a screen, i just need to make it save to the item !

[candid spear]

fingers crossing

hope this works in multiplayer as well

[near stag]

i assume it will, i can check once ive finished it

i got it to work !

now im gonna test it in multiplayer

it does work in multiplayer !

[candid spear]

great

i will add it to my pack as soon a build is generated

[near stag]

builds are up on my github https://github.com/z3roco01/retainingBarrels/releases im just waiting for approval on modrinth

should barrels not be allowed to be put in each other like shulkers cant go into another shulker ?

[candid spear]

yep

[near stag]

kk ill add that !

[near stag]

done !

[candid spear]

@near stag just installed the latest release and i couldnt find any keybind related to the mod in the options

nvm, it's alongside the other inventory binds

ah, and seems like both placed and equipped barrels doesnt do the opening animations anymore

and the opening sound only plays the first time i open it

subsequent times it's silent

[candid spear]

this only in placed barrels. Equipped ones seems to always play the sound when pressing b

a small parity detail: in creative, shulker boxes only drop themselves when there is at least one item stored, otherwise it didnt drop anything (like other blocks of the game in this gamemode)

also, could you also add hovering "sneak peek" like shulker boxes do in vanilla?

and, to finish the feedback and stop being annoying to you, also add held item description (similar to vanilla hovering sneek peek, but with the second line in a sighly different color) if Bedrockify (that is the one that add this feature for shulker boxes) is installed

sorry if i'm very intrusive

[brave viper]

Vico can sometimes be very intrusive...

[candid spear]

wdym?

[brave viper]

No explanation necessary. You can be quite uncompromising and pushy.

[brave viper]

Btw I stuck the banner thing in boxes break backs.

[candid spear]

thanks for the unconstructive feedback

i was telling @near stag what i was running into while testing the mod

[brave viper]

I don't mean to be unconstructive

[candid spear]

but sounded rude

[brave viper]

You notice I'm still willing to talk.

[brave viper]

I do that. I've only had like two years of people training

[candid spear]

i was just doing feedback about his kind attempt to do my request

[brave viper]

No complaints about that.

[candid spear]

aside of that points his mod was already usable, differently of your mod (if going rude is the way with you, lets do it too)

[brave viper]

Please do tell what is unusable. I like blunt feedback without masking, it helps me know exactly what I've broken.

[candid spear]

like i said, i ditched your mod when trinkets got updated

btw, this is not the place to talk about it (this is for the idea zerocool is doing)

[brave viper]

Correction. This is the place for the idea Mr sterner did

[brave viper]

But yr

Bye

[near stag]

idk how possible this is, since the method i mixin to for droping the barrel doesnt have a reference to the player, and it doesnt override the ome that does so i cant mixin to it as far as i know

[candid spear]

oh i see

[brave viper]

You could get the player from on break and save it (zero cool if you're ready to stop tell me...)

[near stag]

im pretty sure you cant mixin to something it doesnt override

[brave viper]

You can. But if you don't want to that's okay

[near stag]

i do want to

[brave viper]

K

So you just have to mixin and then submixin

You mixin to where the method is

And then you mixin to your target class and override the original mixin method

[near stag]

i dont quite get it

do you have an example you could show me

[brave viper]

Not on my phone.

Mixin to the closest super class that has the method. Inject where you think you need to be. Then extend that mixin in another mixin to the barrel block class or whatever and put your code there.

[near stag]

ok i think i get it

[brave viper]

I think it needs to be in the same mixin package to work

[near stag]

i got it to work !

[brave viper]

Remembering that there is only one block class instance per block?

[near stag]

yea

[brave viper]

Cool. In a few months vico will switch to accessories again when 1
22 comes out. But until then, 🎊

[near stag]

lol

[near stag]

also got this done

[near stag]

idk if this is possible, it doesnt look like they have any sort of api

[near stag]

im having trouble finding this bug aswell, i cant quite find what is causing it

[candid spear]

would send you my profile be of any use?

[candid spear]

maybe just add an option in your mod, independent of bedrockify

[near stag]

i dont think so, i does happen to me too i just cant find it

[near stag]

that would probably conflict with bedrockify and cause problems

[near stag]

it is up on modrinth tho ( despite the bugs ) https://modrinth.com/mod/retaining-barrels

[candid spear]

not really, just implement the tooltip indepently

[near stag]

i think it would, id mixin to the same classes it does which could mess stuff up

[candid spear]

oh i see

[near stag]

it could be possible to add the preview to bedrockify and try and it get into the mod

[brave viper]

Arguably you could mixin with built in check to see if bedrockify is installed and disable your mixin if it is, or you could set it to automatically fail if it is not possible without errors.

[brave viper]

Or use a super low priority

[near stag]

it would make more sense to make a pr on bedrockify to have it added in my opinion

[brave viper]

Idk.

I just mixin

[near stag]

idk, bedrockify already has the look and all the methods needed to do it

[candid spear]

pingging @vernal stream to see what he thinks about it

[candid spear]

starting here

[vernal stream]

I'm ok if you want to open a PR on bedrockIfy to have it added... I can also try to implement it myself, like in a generalized way that works for other mods, but i haven't look at this particular mod implementation yet

[near stag]

it just uses components, the same way shulkers do i think, its not specific to my mod it would work with any barrel item that has contents

[vernal stream]

i'll take a look at it

[vernal stream]

I've added the tooltip to any item with container components and that made it work with the mod

there will be an update to bedrockify in some days

[candid spear]

thanks a lot @vernal stream

[candid spear]

will try the modrinth release today

[candid spear]

@near stag Some points i noticed:

• The lack of opening animation (and sound in any subsequent interactions) makes the block "unsafe" for storage. Don't know, the lack of sound makes me feel storing anything on barrels is something risky (my OCD, sorry);
• Also seems like your mixins are disabling @void tide's Inventory Sorting sort button. Don't know if is even possible to fix that.

[void tide]

My Mixins:

• GenericContainerScreen
• InventoryScreen
• ShulkerBoxScreen

I am just adding stuff to the end of the render functions, so potentially those functions are getting overridden by this mod (not sure what it is I am not bothering to read the whole thread).

[candid spear]

just reassembling my modpack from scratch, i would like to give it another chance
