Headed to 1.21.4

[pastel cairn]

Headed has been my favorite mod for adding mob heads since it actually adds models for each head rather than just small blocks. I was hoping it would update but the creator seems to have stopped updating it.

Source available here

[stone zodiac]

how does it compare to the more mob heads datapack from vanilla tweaks?

[north loom]

Unfortunately, a port is not legal, to my knowledge

[stone zodiac]

mod is All Rights Reserved and copyrighted. You would need the developer to grant that right (the right to have it ported) to you

[pastel cairn]

unfortunate

[north loom]

I might ask, it seems interesting

[north loom]

Is a pr fork against the terms of arr?

[stone zodiac]

nope. they agree to allow forking when they upload to github

its in the ToS

[north loom]

If I fork, and GitHub actions runs lol, surely that would be against the license

[stone zodiac]

nope. they grant the rights by uploading to github

you cant upload a release and distribute though

[north loom]

So no capturing atrifacts

[stone zodiac]

no addition capturing artifacts other than what they have configured

[north loom]

That's funny.

I mean, they have artifact capture configured. But I think that would be pushing it

[stone zodiac]

do they have PRs auto-building?

[north loom]

Kind of? It's just the default build.yml, so it would if I allow it

[stone zodiac]

i meant if you PR to them, even if they dont merge

and yes...

so once you PR it should provide an artifact

[north loom]

It also wouldn't be that hard to just rewrite it. They're not doing anything particularly groundbreaking. I am technically disqualified for reading the source code, but there isn't too much to slap arr on there

There aren't any custom models -> datagen

• all the model stuff changed in 1.21.4

[stone zodiac]

the witch head looks to be just rendering the entity head

[north loom]

They all are

[stone zodiac]

(from the description)

yeah

so just a bunch of items with a single custom renderer

[north loom]

And ber

[north loom]

Now we'll see if I actually do it

[stone zodiac]

very nice

[quasi forge]

To the developer who's gonna port this to modern versions, I advise you to rewrite the mod from scratch since its code is really bad

[stone zodiac]

words of advice to anyone porting any mod, tbh.

[north loom]

I probably won't rewrite from scratch, but I might make some changes.

[quasi forge]

The skulls also don't extend the original skull classes, I don't remember why I did that back then

Also I still don't know how to add values to the Instrument enum, I ended up just using Instrument.CUSTOM_HEAD or something for a different mod

[north loom]

Oh, you're the author lol. If you say so, I may take your advice

[north loom]

Fasm?

[quasi forge]

idk it kept crashing in production so I didn't use it

[north loom]

I mean, I know how to do it with mixin, but fasm is definitely better for compat

[north loom]

Yeah, it is quite complex

[quasi forge]

For Headed I did use ASM at the start but ended up switching to this thing

I think it's worse than using ASM? Don't remember what the issues are

[north loom]

Not Asm, fabric asm

[quasi forge]

yeah that's what I meant, sorry

[north loom]

Sorry for correcting you, Asm is a whole different ball game.

[quasi forge]

I hope it was not as bad as calling Java "JavaScript" or something

[stone zodiac]

more like calling java "jvm bytecode"

[north loom]

not that bad lol. just enough to give me a small shock

[north loom]

is this your uuid? 7bb71eb9-b55e-4071-9175-8ec2f42ddd79

[quasi forge]

Probably

7bb71eb9-b55e-4071-9175-8ec2f42ddd79

Yeah, it's mine

You can change it to yours, or remove the mixin
