Lumien231's Bloodmoon for Fabric remake (+Bad Sun)

[craggy lotus]

I'm looking for someone to do a remake from scratch (original is ARR, so a direct fork form that isn't possible - althrough someone tried their luck doing a no-license port for Fabric 1.19.2 themselves) of Lumien231's take on Bloodmoon (GH) mod to Fabric (preferentially for 1.21.1 or 1.21.4+).

I want this specific concept because other similar implementations are either datapacks (i really don't like that being implemented as a DP) or deviates too much from the style of this one - adding extra mechanics and stuff, while this one only adds the event itself and tweaks the hostile mob spawning during it.

The only changes i would like to see in the original concept is including on the event's spawn list vanilla hostile mobs that appeared after the last update of that mod - specially phantons, breezes, biome-specific creakings if Grafted Creaking is detected on the modpack and maybe even wardens (albeit very rarely).

The final thing i would like to have on such remake is a "Bad Sun" event, inspired by one of SCP-001 proposals, and that featured in games like Voices of the Void (this one being the approach i would like to see in this mod) and as a custom story for SOMA. Basically, as bloodmoons, there is days where the sun will literally scorch the land, setting entities on fire (including the player), melting snow and ice and changing biome colors to reflect this harsh situation. When the "sun" sets, the ambient slowly returns to the normal.

My Team and I have been working on a simmilar mod although it isn’t finished e.g no Monsters Spawning in blood moon I’ll let you know when we’re at a release finished state

[craggy lotus]

do you have plans to add something like the Bad Sun event as a counterpart of Bloodmoon for the day?

[mental tendon]

It’s not on the list currently but we can add it Evan if not the api of our mod will make it easy to add other events

[craggy lotus]

does this Evan are in this server?

[fading cypress]

Have you tried Enhanced Celestials?

[craggy lotus]

yep but didnt like it

was too much different from the og mod for my taste

[craggy lotus]

🆙

[craggy lotus]

@pine flicker saw that you was working in a mod revamping phantoms, that i mentioned as one of the features of this remake.

Would you have interest?

[pine flicker]

Ping me after blanketcon

[craggy lotus]

blanketcon?

[pine flicker]

https://modfest.net/
Blanketcon is a sort of modding convention held by modfest
I’m developing mods for the upcoming blanketcon so I’m busy with those right now

[craggy lotus]

oh i see

will it be held until when?

[pine flicker]

No idea

Registration starts in march

[craggy lotus]

oh i see

[craggy lotus]

🆙

@pine flicker did the Blanketcon already ended?

[pine flicker]

Nope give me about another month

[craggy lotus]

🆙 taking opportunity of 1.21.5 release

[craggy lotus]

@vale pond maybe you could have interest later..

[vale pond]

Sorry, I'm not really interested in porting this.

[craggy lotus]

hoping then that @pine flicker could pick up it 🙏

[craggy lotus]

🆙 again

[craggy lotus]

@tardy granite would be this more easier to do next than Linkart?

[tardy granite]

now the initial thought I have is to somewhat mixin and fiddle with minecrafts hostile mob ai and that scares me more than minecarts

but should be easier

[craggy lotus]

wait, but i thought the og bloodmoon mod just raises temporally the hostile mob spawn rate during the event

[tardy granite]

does it

I thought it tampered with some health stuff and so as well

alr im just bad at pve then ig

[craggy lotus]

i didnt understood, sorry

english isnt my first language

[tardy granite]

pve - player vs entity

i.e. fighting against mobs

[craggy lotus]

ahh i see

[noble flame]

wow you're very dedicated

this is crazy i found your old github post while browsing

been here since june 2023

[craggy lotus]

this mod is very special to me, tbh

and what is out there that is remotely similar isn't good imo

[tardy granite]

soo what did this mod do now?

just modify spawnrate at bloodmoon event?

[craggy lotus]

the original one, yes

for a rewrite for modern minecraft, i was also thinking in make the "new" hostile mobs that didnt existed back in 1.12.2 to spawn during those nights

for example, making phantoms spawn during the event (regardless of if the player slept in previous nights)

phantoms

breezes

and in very rare chances, a warden

if Grafted Creaking is present alongside it, creakings (based on the majority wood-type of the biome) too.

thats for the bloodmoon event

for the bad sun event, it's more to make daylight burn all mobs exposed to the sun (and tint the biome colors with autumn-like colors to make it look like it burned the vegetation

temporally, of course

the sun would have a censor bar covering it relative to each player

before / during the bad sun event and for a whole (before returning to normal)

[vale pond]

Why would the sun have a censor bar?

And I suspect that the sun would do a little more than ignite all mobs exposed to it...

[tardy granite]

huh

alr nothing's impossible

just gotta look into packets a bit more

[craggy lotus]

well, to be honest, the censor bar is more of how it looks in Voices of the Void

on the SCP wiki it have this image to illustrate

[craggy lotus]

well, from the SCP wiki page:

Upon contact with visible light produced by the sun, living organisms liquefy at the point of contact, with the effect spreading until the entire organism is converted. Visually, this is reminiscent of melting wax. The time this takes is largely dependent on the level of exposure and size of the organism. Despite this restructuring, at no point do living organisms perish.

Upon completion, these organisms (SCP-001-A) take on a gelatinous consistency. Motile organisms will attempt to orient themselves in a fashion reminiscent of their previous form, to varying degrees of success.

but the description i put ip OP was, again, more aligned with the VotV implementation

that just make the player lose health and die

but adapted to Minecraft mechanics

the closest thing i imagined was just set all living entities exposed to the "sun" on fire like what normally happens with undead mobs

[vale pond]

Well, if you want it to look unnatural, I'd recommend not using fire. Direct damage would work best, I think.

[craggy lotus]

if you say

it didnt set the player on fire on votv either

and there is other ways to catch fire on that game

so, separate things

also in votv the player view, when in direct line of sight with the "sun", is pulled towards it

maybe hard to implement at first in a mod

but worth of note for the future

well, if @tardy granite ever start working on that, you can concentrate at first in the bloodmoon event that is the kernel of the request

the bad sun event would be a delightful plus

[tardy granite]

imma look into it tomorrow

gotta think if I make it two separate mods though

just see if I manage to make mod dependencies and libraries

(I'm actually a java-disliker, never worked with that way)

[noble flame]

why two separate mods

[tardy granite]

because

just see if I manage to make mod dependencies and libraries
(I'm actually a java-disliker, never worked with that way)

[noble flame]

huh

you mean one version to incorporate dependencies

and another that doesn't

[tardy granite]

no I mean

use multiple modules in one project with gradle, i.e. one "mod" that is like the core of these, which just contains classes and repeating logic (like integrating those events into minecraft and spread them across clients on join, etc.) and then one mod for the bloodmoon and one for the bad sun, that just use that core library

kinda stuff

I could make that in one mod, of course. I would abstract those mechanics either way, just so that I don't have to repeatedly write the same code

but I'd like to play around a bit with gradle and such, have never really used it and I'd want to test building some kina library-dependency like that (set up a maven repo and such as well)

cuz never done that and might be helpful sometime in the future

[noble flame]

so you want to test

[tardy granite]

yes

[noble flame]

integrating with other mods

okay

[tardy granite]

no 😭

I'd just take code I would have otherwise to write for each event (i.e. twice), write it once, build it as its own modfile and use that as library-mod for the other two mods, which then actually imeplement said events

would also add, but didn't have that in mind, that one can choose if they want only one event or both, by just removing jars

[noble flame]

either you're like not wanting to create helper/utility classes in your mod

or you want to create a library mod which is gonna be a double download for modrinth

[vale pond]

The logic is that both of the mods would have the exact same helper/utility classes. Therefore, TheBetterTruth 🍉 would have to copy-paste the code over between the mods. If something broke, they'd have to fix it in two places, which is annoying and prone to error. (source: I've done things that way before, it's really annoying).

Using libraries for substantially duplicated areas across multiple projects isn't point farming; it's good practice.

(Also, people can just include the library built in with the mod that's using it, so the users don't have to download it separately)

[noble flame]

but why have two mods unless you want both to work standalone or together

i can imagine the easier to update but you're going to have a lot of seemingly random stuff in the project unless you decouple it from the mod being too specific with the implementations

[tardy granite]

I’d make it separate mods (one mod for helper/utility, one for bloodmoon and one for bad sun), „just because“

I‘d know how to code with Java and am fairly familiar with yarn mappings and how Minecraft somewhat works, but I‘m absolutely unfamiliar with gradle, maven and the entire buildsystem. Just to learn it in a practical way, I thought to split this mod, when I‘ll do it. I.e how one would setup a maven repo, especially, so that a mod can be used as library on other mods - never done that and so far, I have no clue about it.

There‘s no way around having utility helpers (otherwise it would be insanity) but I‘d just split it up for the sake of it.

One would then only have that library as dependency mod. The blood moon and bad sun would therefore be two separate mods which would work independently from each other

[vale pond]

I think the idea is to have the two mods work both together and standalone, and to decouple the library from the mod(s) as much as possible.

[tardy granite]

^

[noble flame]

it's good learning experience true

[tardy granite]

Just a heads up, was spending the last days relearning my animation skills (nothing to do with Minecraft modding though)

I have a final exam tomorrow, I‘ll continue working on this after that

[tardy granite]

another heads up, got some gpu-fan problems, Imma look into it for the next few days, otherwise I've gotta live without dgpu

[craggy lotus]

oh thats bad

hope you gpu stays alive

[tardy granite]

I've already started to work on the core-library for both mods though

[tardy granite]

I hope so too, just bought this laptop early this year for some light 3d work as I'm heading towards that branch hobby-istic 😭

[craggy lotus]

ugh, its a laptop

thats bad

[tardy granite]

ya

[craggy lotus]

hope things go well

[tardy granite]

sure will. I mean stuff still works, it's just the fans making noise

they still cool and stuff works, but I ain't gonna risk stuff

[craggy lotus]

@tardy granite just fyi, when you manage to resume developement of this (and other of my requests), i decided to switch back to 1.21.1 because, well, all my main mods are only available (or in a stable mode) up to that version

[tardy granite]

Again, just a heads up. Friday, I have my last final exam. I‘ll continue working more full-ish/half time on these mods after that

(It‘s math, I‘m bad at maths, I need to learn)

[bitter cloud]

Man I would love to see a Bad Sun mod in this game

[bitter cloud]

That's so relatable man 😭 I'm also bad at maths

[bitter cloud]

This is where I'm at as well, this is what I'm also dealing with haha

I would update to 1.21.5 but more than half of my mods would poof from my modpack because they aren't updated

[craggy lotus]

hope you nail those exams

[tardy granite]

Sure won‘t, gotta be realistic 😭

I‘d just be happy to get the min required points to pass

[bitter cloud]

I believe 🙏

[tardy granite]

Yeah, it backfired completely

it was kinda obvious that something’s gonna happen

it wasn’t because of the questions though, something completely different

[craggy lotus]

omg

[tardy granite]

It's not thai I failed though, at least not passing school, just maths. In every exam I took last week, we had two parts and had three task options for the second part, which ever we'd like. In this math exam we also had two parts and they gave us like three tasks for the second part as well as a form, which we also had in the last exams, where we'd specify which one of the three tasks we did. Now, right after the exam, I found that the form was just there "because" and the second part was split into literal separate "folders", "just because" and we had to do all of them

so I just did like only a third of two-thirds of the exam

and the only way to pass is to have an average of 5 points in all four exams; so ig it didn't backfire thaat much

so, as I'm done with school so far, Imma continue to work on this next week

[bitter cloud]

It happens 😭 hey, at least you didn't fail! Maths sucks I hate it too

[tardy granite]

I just hope that I didn’t fail cuz of my stupidness 😭

tbh that would be kind of an iconic fail though

but I‘m just kinda, all those problems were even actually easy to solve, but I just didn’t do them, it really bugs me 😭

[bitter cloud]

😭 brooo tell me about it

I hate that too

[tardy granite]

just so that this thread doesn't get lost (it did)

was unexpectedly busy this week, gonna continue upcoming week

[craggy lotus]

any updates @tardy granite?

[tardy granite]

Not really, haven‘t been able to continue working, but I‘d hope I‘ll be free this evening

[tardy granite]

stuff's cookin'

[tardy granite]

I've arrived at the networking stuff

and I never liked it

nor do I like it now

I'm afraid to implement data-tracking the way mojang does, due to mc license stuff and such, but I may just be paranoid

[noble flame]

erm why

[ebon urchin]

could use fabric's new data attachment apis, assuming you're on 1.21+

[tardy granite]

Hmmm may look into that. For now, I'll just go with what I made now

still got stuff to implement

haven't tested anything yet (bad)

but synchronizing events with clients (even when joining into a running event) should work

as far as my logic tells, but I'll be testing it tomorrow

then I've just gotta implement making use of the AbstractClientEvent class, so that the BloodMoon can tell the sky renderer or whatever I'll have to Mixin and write a custom method for, to provide the appropriate moon texture

(just writing stuff down, using this as my to-do list)

[tardy granite]

I think I did some very unnecessary stuff

[noble flame]

erm

[craggy lotus]

looks rongorongo to me

[tardy granite]

and it makes rongorongo

they made them deprecated :(

I've gotta find other ways to access final static fields, so that I can redirect the moon-texture to the bloodmoon texture

[craggy lotus]

oh

[west galleon]

Mixin accessors can make them not final.

In modern java even if you find a way to change them, the jvm isn't required to acknowledge you changed them, so it's not really useful to know how

[vale pond]

I personally would instead mix into its uses.

There can’t be that many of them.

[tardy granite]

would've done that too, but because I'm trying to make this more "dynamic" by design, I've gotta do it this way

[west galleon]

-# that said, totally possible. Just get the internal unsafe instead

[tardy granite]

so, we have a bloodmoon

but the renderer doesn't quite pickup a texture change

although, the texture is re-retrieved each rendercall for the sky

it takes quite a while until the changed texture is applied

but the event seems to stop/start and change the texture-field as it should

[vale pond]

Are you sure?

[vale pond]

Because this would seem to indicate otherwise.

Unless… maybe the sky model is only rebaked every once in a while? That might do it, actually.

[tardy granite]

well, I've been through the renderer code, and each and every value is passed to the sky's shader during the renderSky() method, if I didn't pick that up wrong

and the projectionMatrix's applied to the shader in that same method as well

so, should be an update each renderframe

[vale pond]

I don't know how the sky works but this is all I've got at the moment.

Hmm...

[tardy granite]

there might be some code in the shader itself though

[west galleon]

-# Caching shader sounds cursed

[vale pond]

I do know someone in the NeoForge server who's looked at sky rendering. I could pass the word along, I guess.

If you want me to, that is.

[tardy granite]

I don't mind

just tested, renderSky is called each renderframe

so the texture should be updated each frame in java code

[west galleon]

Are you updating it on thread?

[tardy granite]

wait

does mc use different threads for the game and rendering

[vale pond]

I think so, maybe?

[west galleon]

Yup

Well

It depends on what you consider the game

[tardy granite]

RenderSystem#recordRenderCall my beloved

[west galleon]

Yeah... Mojang yeeted that I'm the latest version

And technically that doesn't guarantee a solution

But try it

[tardy granite]

well it worked for the first time

[west galleon]

If it works in single player, then you can figure out where to go from there

[tardy granite]

then it stopped working

[tardy granite]

already thought of that, the entire system is split up into client and server side

not sure if my approach's any good

but as they say

if it's working don't fix it

now its just the moon

[west galleon]

Just because you don't reference client classes from server, doesn't mean you're exempt from having things run on the wrong thread

[tardy granite]

well, if I did understand the docs correctly, world.isClient only yields false on the server thread, be it integrated or dedicated, where the event itself is only triggered, if the world it is going to be triggered, is a server world

the server then sends a payload to the client, loading dedicated client code and a seperate client event that only runs on the client

sure getting the render thread is another thing though

as far as I was aware minecraft only used multithreading for chunk loading

[west galleon]

the client == the render thread

they aren't separate yet

[tardy granite]

a

[west galleon]

but,

it can be more confusing, because before certain versions of mc, packets were on the network thread

so just because you sent a packet to the client, didn't mean that you were on the client thread when it was received

[tardy granite]

seems to be

[west galleon]

nice

okay

how are you updating it?

[tardy granite]

I'm using unsafe to override the value of the field that holds the moon texture atlas id

that happens as soon as the event is created (see "Applying moon patch")

pausing the debugger and inspecting the WorldRenderer the value changes as it should

but in-game the change either just doesn't happen or takes a somewhat long delay

[west galleon]

just write a mixin

!!accessor

[cosmic nymph]

io/github/mymod/mixin/MyClassAccess

@Mixin(MyClass.class)
public interface MyClassAccess {
  @Invoker void callAccess();
  @Accessor int getMyField();
}

to use it

public class Container {
  public void slapHaykam(MyClass instance) {
     ((MyClassAccess)instance).callAccess();
  }
}

[west galleon]

@Mixin(MyClass.class)
public interface MyClassAccess {
  @Mutable
  @Accessor 
  static void setMyField(Identifier id);
}

that's a very hot code path, and static finals are trusted

[tardy granite]

welp, I'm not using mixins for pretty much a reason - be it good or bad, up to you

might try if it works better with one though

but kinda found out, that placing a breakpoint on the call that sends the moon texture to the shader, leads to it it applying in-game as well

[west galleon]

what is the reason then?

[west galleon]

yeah, parking a thread usually unwinds stacktraces

[tardy granite]

ah

[west galleon]

I mean

if you don't want to use the mixin to set it

you don't have to

just create an empty mixin, and mark the shadow mutable

and then normal reflection will work

-# assuming that mutating a static final is the problem, which it looks like it is

[tardy granite]

well, because I'm practically experimenting with public repositories/libraries with this mod, allowing me to "comfortably" reuse the core system for the bloodmoon and bad sun, I thought - I'm not good at thinking - to implement a more "modular"/"dynamic" system; pretty much plug n' play. When using a mixin I would have to check if the event is running or sum other stuff, tell the mixin through the event instance to change the texture id - I'd just use a "plugn n play" system in each event that I tell what to change - and as soon as the event ends it'll automatically reset that value

[west galleon]

I don't think I understand

remember that mixin can be incremental too

you can literally just use a mixin to ```diff
-private static final Identifier ID = ...;
+private static Identifier ID = ...;

[tardy granite]

basically, this weird thing of, lazy messed up code. "Patches" are changes, like this, that happen during an event. They're defined in an event and are executed through said event (be it somewhere in tick or that last method) and are automatically reverted, when the event ends

[west galleon]

yeah, that's going to be a pain to get working

[tardy granite]

yeah figured

[vale pond]

That... may not be the best idea. I'm certain there are better approaches.

[west galleon]

I mean as a whole

the system isn't bad

but you're going to have to make some permanant changes

you could use an access widener if you wanted also

[vale pond]

Dynamically patching the code at runtime, while it's running? I didn't even know you could do that.

[west galleon]

I always forget those exist

[west galleon]

they aren't patching code

they're changing values

patching code while it's running is annoyingly hard to do

and so slow it's practially not worth it

it destroys all faith the jit has in you

[tardy granite]

yeah not planning to do that

[west galleon]

but yeah

take any of the options to make the field not final first

then using unsafe, safe reflection, any other means you wish

make the value change dynamically, but not the finalness

[tardy granite]

ah

yeah could try that

[vale pond]

I personally would just use a mixin, and have it refer to some sort of centralized event bus.

[west galleon]

I mean

the system of having disableable events is cool

I would probably implement it different

but yeah

more mixin isn't a bad thing, you can make most of them conditional anyway

[tardy granite]

wait isn't that like

removing the final modifier, when not using mixins, for example

through reflect

I remember having tried that at first before using unsafe

but java security and stuff

since 17

[west galleon]

you cannot remove the final modifier through reflection

you can instruct a reflective object to ignore it on a member that is already not trusted

[west galleon]

which doesn't work for static finals because /\

[tardy granite]

alright

gotta refresh my reflect knowledge at some point soon

mixin it is

thanks though

[west galleon]

or aw

whichever you prefer

[tardy granite]

welp

tried aw, atleast the delay was shorter

mixin's the way to go ig

still wrapped it in though, to fit the rest of the code-style <3

(it's an absolute mess)

now gotta work on trying to change spawn rates

but I'm afraid of finding them out to be data-driven now

[west galleon]

kindof?

but not really

BiomeModifications exists, so you'll just need to store a reference to the registry manager and preform it dynamically

[tardy granite]

well that's an idea

was just about using spawnentries

[west galleon]

that could work?

idk

it might be better

it's been a minute since I did that stuff

[tardy granite]

idk gotta look into it

final field's again though

[west galleon]

surely not

oh there are lol

very final fields

but you can set those with reflection

they're not trusted

[tardy granite]

is this trusted stuff new java stuff

i remember reflect being much less protected back then with java 8

the good old days

[west galleon]

No, trusted isn't a reflection concept to begin with. It's just easier for me to explain what you can and can't reflect in terms of trusted vs untrusted

[west galleon]

Trusted still existed, it was just much harder to get something trusted

And thus, you could reflect a lot more

Trusted members are eligible for constant promotion, which is where the java runtime takes the GET xField, and replaces it with valueOfXField

Which means that the code that uses trusted members runs faster

[west galleon]

Which also may make it clearer why your earlier attempt didn't work so well

[tardy granite]

makes sense

but then, it did update, just unreliably and with delay

[west galleon]

Yup

Whenever jit deigned to notice you

Breakpoints usually get the attention of jit

Because it has to deoptimize just about everything touching them

Aside from that, maybe it uninlined it because it found a better way to do it?

Or maybe a lambda that was eligible for inlining became ineligible

Because it wasn't consistent anymore or something

[tardy granite]

well I dunno

as long as it works now

[west galleon]

Yup. Non finals aren't inlined unless they're proven, and even then inlined with a guard

[tardy granite]

Head‘s up, gonna continue tomorrow with this; had an IT oral exam today and I‘m honest, I don‘t wanna have to do anything related to that today 😭

but it went alright

[craggy lotus]

IT oral exam? That's new for me

[tardy granite]

different education systems I'd say

[craggy lotus]

yep

[tardy granite]

it's not IT in itself though with all that other stuff, but more focused on programming principles etc. like data structures, algorithms and some theoretical stuff

but oral, because I had my written exams filled with other subjects

[tardy granite]

Yeah, I guess this doesn‘t want to finish

Ran into issues with my laptop again, gotta send it back

Can‘t say when I‘ll be able to continue this

[craggy lotus]

offtopic, but how you do this small text?

[west galleon]

-# -# tiny text

[craggy lotus]

-# this?

oh interesting

[honest geode]

-# weird

-# so tiny

[tardy granite]

Alright, passed all exams and laptop's working again, now I've got enough time to continue (and hopefully finish) this

it's been taking longer than it should

[craggy lotus]

no problem mate, take your time

[craggy lotus]

🆙 to discord readd this to my list

[craggy lotus]

any updates @tardy granite ?

[tardy granite]

Updated the entire back-end world event system, in terms of how events work and are handled, did lesser generics and pre-optimized some stuff

but didn’t do anything more or relevant

idk I don’t have any general motivation the past weeks

haven‘t done anything really

[craggy lotus]

i hope you get well

[west galleon]

I get that. Maybe try taking a break and doing something fun, that always helps when I get stuck at a point on a project

[tardy granite]

yeah that’s kinda what I‘m trying

but it’s just generally missing motivation

I’m even unmotivated to do anything fun 😭

[west galleon]

Hmm. You could try an actual break from coding. Take a few weeks of naps and snacks and self care

I know a guy who did that

[tardy granite]

I haven’t been coding for weeks

I meant I have no real motivation to do anything other than just layin around

[west galleon]

Hmm.

[tardy granite]

May be because of holiday season and everyone travelling

[west galleon]

Maybe vc some then?

Watch others do cool stuff?

[tardy granite]

that ain’t gonna help tbh 😭

already watching friends doing stuff

[west galleon]

Sad

Okay

Maybe it's just a natural break time then

We all have them

[tardy granite]

yah

[craggy lotus]

🆙 to see if someone else have interest in pickup up the project

[tardy granite]

ah didn't I meantion it here? even as of rightnow I'm currently at it

had rewritten the system the past days

to make it less generic-based

and more usable

[craggy lotus]

i wonder if the new End Sky flash would add internal features that would mean implementing this would be easier on 1.21.9+

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMJghyBGeuU

If this turns out to be the case, i honestly think it would be better for @tardy granite to wait for that release to resume work

to me its okay to wait a little bit more time for this (after so many years without)

[thorn gorge]

Changing light color was possible even before this update. It even looks the same if you compare the light around houses in my screenshot and around the end portal in the new update.

[tardy granite]

Yeah, I don’t think there‘s much of a new internal feature though, maybe just an „easier way“ or sum

It’s already taking me longer than it should, I don’t wanna waste too much time now 😭

[craggy lotus]

ah np

[craggy lotus]

🆙 if someone else wants to pick up the idea for 1.21.10+

[craggy lotus]

🆙, by change @tardy granite did you even returned to this idea?

[tardy granite]

yah

sorry for the long absence

uni be eating me

but I've got things ordered

and gonna continue work on this

[craggy lotus]

i know your feel

[craggy lotus]

by curiosity, what version you aim to develop the mod for?

[tardy granite]

uhh where ever I left off

Can‘t look at the codebase rn

but haven’t changed anything since

Ig somewhere around 1.21.5???

[craggy lotus]

oh i dont remember

i'm going to 1.21.11 rn btw

[tardy granite]

updating the codebse to that then

[craggy lotus]

thank you so much

hope the changes between those versions didnt give you much headaches

[tardy granite]

In times like this, I wish I had commented my code

[craggy lotus]

i know your feel

[tardy granite]

just to signalize that I'm still working on this - I HATE NETWORKING

but server-client synchronization should be working now

and I'll continue making the bloodmoon

[tardy granite]

I noticed

I forgot to populate events to joining players

[craggy lotus]

🆙, now that 26.1 is out... i wonder if @tardy granite did any advances with this...

[tardy granite]

Unfortunately, no. There's been a lot going on in my personal life and I needed a break

changed my environment, now I'm back

🫡

and if I don't finish this in the coming weeks

I don't know what I'm gonna do but I'm gonna do something

[craggy lotus]

crossed fingers here 🤞

[tardy granite]

You want it for 26.1, right?

Currently updating the mod

and oh god

things are very different

[craggy lotus]

yeah, seems like Mojang changed lots of things

[tardy granite]

yeah

especially rendering stuff

before it was just a mixin into the worldrenderer and modify the moon texture path

[tardy granite]

got it (again)

though, I've gotta work on it some point later on

it's using deprecated stuff

the other thing was increased mob spawning, right?

[craggy lotus]

exactly

and trigger phantoms too (regardless of the sleep cycle of the player(s))

[tardy granite]

I guess I've cheated a bit, but essentially I just made it so that a random number of mobs spawn randomly around a random player, given that they can spawn it that area

You also wanted a similiar solar event, right?

[craggy lotus]

the solar event would be a little bit different: no additional spawns, instead any mobs (and players) on direct contact with open sky will catch fire

and optionally the player view would forcibily be turned towards the sun (that would have a censor square at front of it)

wait a bit that i will show a video of what i meant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q8hsyHUyO8

the sirens arent necessary (a toast message like the one for bloodmoon at the start of the event is enough)

from a sighly older build of votv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feNLD6lP0TI

[tardy granite]

Quick heads up, been busy with uni this week and got a project that's due to the end of the month: Gonna finish up the sun event and publish the mod then

Sorry that it's been so long already, it shouldn't have taken this long 😭

[craggy lotus]

np man

i'm waiting longer for a traincarts-esque mod

so no worries
