I'm making a client side waypoint mod and I need a way to figure out which world the player is connected to so I can render the proper waypoints. Is there some sort of id attached to ClientWorld or another way to do this?
#How to check which world the player is in?

a 100% accurate and error-less way is only possible in singleplayer

how would you recommend doing it for singleplayer

i guess for servers i can use the ip
which can change

which can change
the ip rarely changes. the world might i suppose

you can't guarantee that the server the player is on has a static ip
there are isps which change your ip every day

probably figure out how save and quit finds out what save the player is in

but you dont change the ip in the add server thing
tidal yarrow
if the servers public ip changes you have to

well yess but like the chances are very low. ive never had to do that

and if you use the domain (provided they use one to connect), there may be multiple variations and you have no way of telling which are related

You can take a look at what journeymap and xaeros do for their data storage

Is it not fine to steal a naming convention for data storage folders

clients were a mistake, should have never been a thing

im doing it to get better at java and to have something to do. plus i have a lot of ideas for mods that dont exsist in main stream clients

how so?

all in one will never be better (and more compatible) than multiple seperate mods

Anyways I would store it based on the saved server name

and why not just make multiple mods which are each specialized

I think JM also includes some sort of hashing, but im not sure

idk i guess i like the idea of having it streamlined.

modpack

alright ill look into world/server names ig.

You could also implement some sort of world recognition, although that would be very jank
But you said this was just a personal project
glossy sphinx
yeah id rather keep it simple. its already tailored specifically to me so its fine.

As I said, something based on the saved name of the server and maybe the domain, if not a combination of the both
